Aliens: Colonial Marines with everything maxed out, and using a custom Directx11 and SweeftFX. After all the official Gearbox updates + this mod, this is the closest the game will look to the original E3 2012 Demo. The boost is really nice to be honest, and it serves the game some justice. Works on every available version of the game. Keep in mind that Youtube compressed my video, the game looks way better than filmed here, when you play it.
Aliens Colonial Marines fell very short of what was expected from it, most notably on the graphics department, since the finished game looks nothing like the trailers. Here are a couple of mods that when combined bring the game to a notably higher graphical level, also improving on the atmosphere of the game.

The mods I used are SweetFX and DirectX11, for which I will have download links below. What was most surprising to me about this graphical overhaul was not only the huge improvement in the visuals of the game, but also the performance. With these mods I got a notable increase of 10 fps.
