Our dear readers, unfortunately our GTX 690 has not arrived yet, meaning that our Performance Analysis for Crysis 3 will get slightly delayed. As you may have heard, though, the first level of Crysis 3 seems to be behaving really strange, even on high-end PC systems. Ironically, it appears that the game suffers from some optimization issues, as modder MaLDo has discovered that the ropes physics are causing big performance hits for no apparent reason. Continue reading Modder MaLDo discovers possible culprit for Crysis 3’s low performance→

As usual, GTA IV modded looks gorgeous and it could very well challenge other next-generation open world titles.

Get ready for some bad news. IGN has decided to shut down 1UP and Gamespy. Naturally, some may say “Hey, this is good news for you guys. Less competition means more viewers coming at your site“. However, that’s not really the case and we don’t want to look at this from a competitive perspective. Gamespy was a legendary gaming portal and it saddens us that it will be shut down. Continue reading IGN Decides To Shut Down 1UP and Gamespy→
Yesterday, we informed you about the leaked version of Resident Evil 6’s benchmark. Capcom was quick to react and has – finally – officially released this benchmark. Those interested can download it from Nvidia’s GeForce website. Naturally, if you have already downloaded – via other means – there is no point in re-downloading as nothing has been changed; the benchmark that was leaked yesterday was the real deal and not an early version of it. Continue reading Resident Evil 6 Benchmark Officially Released, Capcom Explains Lack Of DX11 Mode→
I’ll have to be honest; when I saw the concept art of the Europolis city for Dreamfall Chapters: The Longest Journey, I was amazed. This piece of work looked similar to CDPR’s Cyberpunk 2077, therefore I was expecting something truly amazing. Instead, what we’ll be getting is a cyberpunk city that looks flat and lacks major effects (such as fog and proper reflections), with a lighting model that looks average at best. I know, I know; shame on me for criticizing prototype footage but here is hoping that developers will actually use this criticism in order to overhaul this promising environment. In case you were unaware of, Europolis is one of several large, free-roaming, fully explorable locations in Dreamfall Chapters.
