Capcom is currently working on the PC version of SSF4:AE 2012 Patch

We know, we know. You are a bit upset with the fact that the PC version of SSF4: AE 2012 hasn’t been released yet. Before pointing your hand at Capcom, know this: the company is currently developing the PC version of this highly anticipated re-balance patch. The PC version was delayed because – according to Capcom’s Svensson – the port process of the PC doesn’t begin until the X360 code is complete. In other words, its development is not parallel  and as such, there’s a little lag time in the process. Continue reading Capcom is currently working on the PC version of SSF4:AE 2012 Patch

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim – Awesome Texture Normal Maps Pack by Mancer

Modder Mancer released a new texture pack for Skyrim. This pack replaces most of the textures in an attempt to get a better looking environment. As the title suggests, Mancer changed the game’s normal maps that are applied to most textures, thus giving them a “surface feeling”. What’s really important here is that Mancer’s pack does not replace those normal maps with others of higher resolution. The sizes of these new normal maps are the same, meaning that there won’t be any performance hit at all while using it.
