Polycount’s members ‘juniez’ and ‘Disting’ have been working hard on their latest maps based on Mirror’s Edge and Deus Ex: Human Revolution, respectively. These two maps have been created in Unreal Engine 4 and the latest images show what this engine is capable of. Mirror’s Edge’s map has been overhauled with a new lighting system and some gorgeous reflections, while DE: HR’s map can be easily mistaken for an old CG photo. Unreal Engine 4 looks sexy and we can’t wait to see what triple-A developers will be able to achieve with it. Until then, enjoy the images!

Kingdom Under Fire II – Gameplay Movie of City and Field
Blueside released last week a new trailer for Kingdom Under Fire II, showing off some gameplay footage, that passed under our radar. Shame on us. Kingdom Under Fire II is a RTS and RPG hybrid that has been under development for quite some time. The game looks cute and has nice boobs physics, but you can easily notice that: a) it’s powered by Unreal Engine 3 (it appears the game is powered by FAME Tech 2. Kudos to the devs for making the game look like an UE3-brownish title… I guess) and b) it looks similar to most multi-platform titles. Still, Kingdom Under Fire II seems fun, so go ahead and watch this new gameplay trailer! Continue reading Kingdom Under Fire II – Gameplay Movie of City and Field

Turtle Rock Studios: Evolve’s Goliath Inspired By Godzilla & King Kong, Lighting Techniques Detailed
Turtle Rock Studios held an IAMA event on Reddit in which it was able to answer a number of questions until the event was cancelled.

AMD Teases Radeon R9 295 X2 In A New Trailer, Incoming Announcement
Remember our April’s Fools joke about R290Xtreme? Holy Batman, we were partially right about it. Okay okay, the new GPU from AMD will not require a 2000W PSU but as the red team unveiled, R9 295 X2 is real and will be a dual-GPU card (that will – most probably – challenge Nvidia’s Titan Z). Or at least that’s what we hope. AMD will be revealing this new GPU really soon and has released a teaser trailer for it that can be viewed below. Enjoy! Continue reading AMD Teases Radeon R9 295 X2 In A New Trailer, Incoming Announcement
Watch_Dogs – New Screenshots Showing The Game’s Inventory System
Alongside the Steam page for Watch Dogs, Ubisoft has also unveiled two new screenshots for its upcoming open world title, showing the game’s inventory system. Contrary to other games pausing the action of a game, Watch_Dogs will feature a floating window via which players can access Aiden’s inventory. It looks cool, and let’s hope that each frame won’t be taking us on static pages like those found in other titles, thus pulling us away from the game itself. Enjoy!
