2K Games has released some new screenshots for its upcoming basketball title, NBA 2K14. Developed by Visual Concepts, a 2K studio, NBA 2K14 is not yet rated by the ESRB. Even though the game has only be announced for current and next gen consoles, we are pretty sure that it will also hit our platform. After all, each and every NBA 2K game (in the past few years) has been released on the PC. Here is hoping that 2K Sports won’t drop the ball. Enjoy!

CryEngine modders and indie developers have posted some new screenshots from their upcoming projects and holy batman do they love lens flares. We strongly suggest putting your sunglasses on before viewing them because some modders went overdrive with those new lens flares effects that were introduced in the latest build of the free CryENGINE SDK. The highlights of this week are Revan1199’s and USSR_GRAND’s maps. These two modders have created two amazing maps that do not rely on those annoying lens flares, so kudos to them. Enjoy!

Two weeks ago, we informed you about the release of the SDK for the latest version of CRYENGINE. Naturally, modders/artists/indie devs decided to take a look at this SDK and came up with some pretty… well… bizarre results. And from the looks of it, it seems that next-gen will be all about lens flares and some ‘in-your-face’ particles effects. Yes yes, some modders overused those effects in the following shots, but it’s pretty clear that every damn engine now supports those anamorphic lens flares. So, without further delay, we present you some new images and videos from CryDev’s members afsoft, big fish, darkchazz, DevGuy1975, Lavizh, Maximum-Dev, myth000, promuckaj, ReVan1199, Shapeshifter, kfrancis167 and USSR_GRAND. Enjoy! Continue reading Next-Gen Will Be All About Lens Flares, New Screenshots From The Latest CryEngine SDK→
Ah, the beauty of SweetFX. Saints Row IV vanilla looks really blurry as Volition used a lot of low-res textures but thanks to SweetFX, the game’s visuals get a bit better. Below you can find a comparison between our SweetFX settings and the vanilla version. Continue reading Saints Row IV – SweetFX vs Vanilla Comparison→
Spiders and Focus Home Interactive have released a new set of screenshots for Bound by Flame, featuring one of the playable characters tussling with some of the many original and dangerous creatures that will be featured in it. Moreover, Focus Home Interactive announced that the game will be also hitting PS4 – alongside the previously announced PC, X360 and PS3.

As we’ve said in our Performance Analysis, there are some low-res textures included in the PC version of Splinter Cell: Blacklist. And that’s precisely why we can rely on SweetFX in order to improve the game’s IQ. Below you can find a comparison between two of our SweetFX settings. The first one is with subtle sharpening (and various tweaks to its mid-tones, shadows, saturation, curves levels and contrast) while the second one – the one we currently prefer and looks similar to what CDPR is doing with The Witcher 3 – has more sharpening. Continue reading Splinter Cell: Blacklist – Modded Vs Vanilla Comparison→
Slightly Mad Studios has released a new batch of screenshots for Project CARS. There is no doubt that pCars looks sexy, though we are a bit worried about its driving/physics mechanics that are not up to what Assetto Corsa and rFactor 2 are offering. Still, we are still way off until pCars gets out, so here is hoping that Slightly Mad Studios will further tweak them. And if it does not, at least we’ll be getting a really great looking racing game. Enjoy! Continue reading Project CARS Gets A New Set Of Gorgeous & Highly Detailed Screenshots→
Once upon a time, there was an RPG called Skyrim. When Skyrim got released, everyone was expecting wonderful things from it. However, everyone got disappointed with its visuals. Skyrim had a lot of potential but was held back by consoles. Then modders came. And then modders started experimenting with it. And then Skyrim became more beautiful than everyone could have imagined. And its hidden potential got unleashed. And then everyone was happy with it… or not? Continue reading Challenge Accepted – Skyrim Rivals Next-Gen Titles→
Almost a month ago, we informed you about a recreation of Naughty Dog’s Uncharted 3 in CryEngine 3. Well, today we bring you another attempt at recreating this title in Crytek’s engine. Modder Antonio Jean (who is 18 years old mind you) has finished his recreated map and presented some images from it. The end result is surprisingly good and comes close to what Naughty Dog created – and in some aspects surpasses it thanks to some of CE3’s features. Naturally, some will love it while others will hate it. And while we are at it, keep in mind that the map was created by a single person and not a whole professional studio. Enjoy!
