Modder Vergis has released an interesting mod for Skyrim that offers additional performance to it. As you may already know, Skyrim is CPU bound and Bethesda didn’t take advantage of multi-cores. In addition, the special effects in this game, like snow and rainfall, are rendered by the already overtaxed CPU and not your GPU. Therefore, Vergis reduced the textures in those particle effects, and witnessed a nice performance boost. Vergis is using an i5-750 CPU and saw a 5-20 FPS improvement. Pretty good huh? You can find the download link as a comparison shot, as well as a video from the game’s Rift area, after the jump. Continue reading Skyrim Performance PLUS Mod comes with a 20fps boost→

We’ve seen a lot of recreations in Minecraft but this one looks really lovely and ideal for all Zelda fans out there. Project Hyrulecraft is a 1:1 reconstruction of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time in Minecraft. This project has been in development since May 2011, with the intent of being hosted on a custom built server. The Hyrulecraft multiplayer server will feature many RPG and MMO aspects such as quests, classes, experience and leveling, and a fan-written storyline that continues the story after the events of OOT’s child timeline.

Remember when we told you, earlier last week, that Duke Nukem 3D would be coming to CryEngine 3? Well, it seems that another classic game will also find its way to Crytek’s engine. Mapper ‘Cleric’ was working in a CryEngine 2 map that would be based on the first level of iD Software’s little gem, but hit many walls and never got very far due to various problems. With the release of CryEngine 3’s SDK, the mapper decided restart that project in Crysis 2 and released some new screenshots from it. Cleric is currently recreating the first level, but there is a possibility for more Quake maps. Enjoy!

Last week, we concentrated on the car models that most modders are creating these days, so we think that it’s fair to dedicate this week’s gallery to GTA IV’s environments. And it’s really amazing how some custom ENBSeries settings can actually increase the game’s image fidelity. Thanks to the modders, GTA IV looks amazing and can – sometimes – achieve photorealistic visuals. Enjoy the following screenshots from GTA IV’s modders Simple999, King of K, DarK64, goobz, Lycan_182, legacyy, schakusa, Dpeasant3, KingNK, sly1286, and pramkies.
