GRID 2 – 25 Minutes Of Gameplay Footage Featuring Indianapolis, Chicago, Barcelona and Drift

Grid 2 v2
Codemasters has released a new video for GRID 2, featuring 25 minutes of gameplay footage from a number of stages and events. It looks kind of cool, though the driving mechanics look as arcade-ish as you can remember them to be from all previous Codemasters racers, and there is no cockpit you as you most probably already know. GRID 2 is planned for a May 31st release on PC, X360 and PS3. Enjoy! Continue reading GRID 2 – 25 Minutes Of Gameplay Footage Featuring Indianapolis, Chicago, Barcelona and Drift

Real-time Path Tracing Showcase – Brigade Engine Keeps Getting Better & Better

Brigade 2
We’ve covered the Brigade Engine in the past, and – as we said back then – we are really looking forward to see what the team behind it can achieve. Our biggest gripe with the Brigade Engine was the noise side effects that were introduced due to the low lighting samples. Back then, those side effects were horrendous. Fast forward a couple of months though, and here we are today with a new video, showcasing what the engine is capable of right now. Thankfully, the noise has been reduced, though it is still noticeable. However, it isn’t as distracting as it was originally so kudos to the team. Not only that, but games similar to Amnesia could benefit from these noise effects. Enjoy the video, courtesy of Hayssam Keilany, creator of the iCEnhancer mod for GTA IV.

PlanetSide 2 – PhysX Trailer

Planetside 2
Nvidia has released a new trailer for PlanetSide 2, showcasing the new PhysX effects that were introduced to it. These hardware-accelerated PhysX effects are said to increase the realism and fidelity of several game elements, adding to the spectacle and drawing players deeper into the action. Particle PhysX effects provide a more immersive experience for the game by adding particles that collide with the environment and litter the environment during battles. Question is whether SOE has implemented those features ideally without decreasing the GPU usage while those effects are enabled. Enjoy! Continue reading PlanetSide 2 – PhysX Trailer

Splinter Cell: Blacklist – Developer Tour of Abandoned Mill

Splinter Cell Blacklist
Ubisoft has released a developer tour video for its upcoming Splinter Cell game, Splinter Cell: Blacklist. This video showcases three different approaches with which players will be able to complete some of the goals of this new Splinter Cell game.

Enjoy the video, courtesy of IGN! Continue reading Splinter Cell: Blacklist – Developer Tour of Abandoned Mill

Metro: Last Light – 10 Minutes Of New Gameplay Footage

Metro Last Light v2
Gamespot has posted a 10 minutes gameplay footage from Metro: Last Light, showcasing a new area called ‘The Swamp’. Our guess is that this gameplay footage will be available during GDC (or PAX East), and it has scenes from a previous leaked gameplay footage we posted a while ago. It looks great and according to Deep Silver, Metro: Last Light will be one of the best games that we’ll be able to play. Enjoy! Continue reading Metro: Last Light – 10 Minutes Of New Gameplay Footage

Warframe – PhysX Trailer

Warframe
Digital Extremes has released a new trailer for its free-t0-play third person title, Warframe, showcasing the PhysX effects that have been introduced to it. Nvidia owners will enjoy some new particle effects, though we have to say that we were not impressed with what Digital Extremes added. After all, we’ve seen these particular effects in both Hawken and Planetside 2, so there is nothing new or extraordinary here. Nevertheless, it’s a welcomed addition, and you can view the trailer below! Continue reading Warframe – PhysX Trailer

Metro: Last Light – Salvation Trailer

Metro Last Light
Deep Silver has released a new trailer for 4A Games’ Metro: Last Light, showcasing the factions that will be present in it. Metro: Last Light is scheduled for a May 17th release on PC, X360 and PS3, and its plot was written by Dmitry Glukhovsky, acclaimed author of the novel Metro 2033 which inspired the creation of both video games. It will be interesting to see whether Metro: Last Light will be as demanding as its predecessor, and whether high-end GPUs will be able to run it smoothly. Enjoy! Continue reading Metro: Last Light – Salvation Trailer
