Electronic Arts has released a new trailer for Need for Speed: Rivals, showcasing the game’s AllDrive system that boasts the ability to seamlessly blend single and multiplayer together. In addition, Polygon reported that the PS4 version of the game may look better graphically than the PC version, something that will definitely disappoint a lot of PC gamers – especially after the 30fps lock that has also been implemented on the PC version of this racer. Kudos to our reader ‘Inhuman’ for spotting it. Take a look at the new trailer below and share your thoughts about this whole NFS mess (Editor’s Note: According to Kotaku, PC and PS4 versions look identical).

Focus Home Interactive has released three new screenshots for Bound by Flame, the new game developed by Spiders studios for PC, PS4, PS3 and X360, showing some of the extraordinary creatures in the vast bestiary. According to the press release, Bound by Flame will use the combat system designed for Mars War Logs, the previous Spiders RPG where the highly dynamic and tactical approach to the combat proved a real hit with players, but goes further and offers players even greater variety and tactical depth in battles. In short, Bound by Flame aims to feature battles both tactically complex and spectacular, so it will be interesting to see whether Spiders will be able to deliver. Enjoy the screenshots after the jump. Continue reading Bound by Flame Gets Three New Screenshots→

Great news for all gamers as Unreal Engine 4 will natively support the latest version of the PhysX SDK, PhysX 3.0. That applies only to the PC build of Unreal Engine 4. As Nvidia’s Andrew told us, UE4 PC has native PhysX 3.0 middleware. Andrew also claimed that next-gen consoles – that will be obviously coming to PC too – PC titles will support PhysX 3.0 (Editor’s note: Andrew contacted us and clarified things. He was not referring to console titles but to next-gen PC games such as The Witcher 3. Apologies for that). PhysX 3.0 features better multi-threaded capabilities, something that will benefit both Nvidia and AMD users.

We’ve been constantly asking developers in our past interviews whether their games were supporting Global Illumination. You see, we strongly believe that GI – as well as Ray Tracing or Path Tracing – are the future of PC (and next-gen consoles) graphics. And thankfully, Nvidia has presented some new GI techniques during its Montreal event earlier today. Not only that, but the company has also unveiled some new Flame effects that put Deep Down’s flame effects to shame. Instead of presenting 2D flames with lots of particles, Nvidia implemented some stunning volumetric flame effects that can interact with objects and the environment. You can find videos from the aforementioned techniques below, so go ahead and take a look at the future of gaming graphics! Continue reading Nvidia – Next-Gen Visuals Powered By Global Illumination & Flame Effects Rivaling Those Of Deep Down→
Nvidia has unveiled a new technology for its PhysX SDK called FLEX: Unified GPU PhysX. According to the team, this is a unified solver that works wonderfully with multi-GPU systems. FLEX: Unified GPU PhysX supports two-way coupling effects, shared collision detection and parallelism at all stages. This practically means that there can be more complex physx calculations without major performance hits – something that was quite common on the previous builds of PhysX. Continue reading Nvidia Unveils Next-Generation Physics – FLEX Unified GPU PhysX Coming Next Year→
During Nvidia’s Montreal event – which is underway as we speak – the green team announced that Project CARS will support DX11 (okay, we already knew that), as well as Nvidia’s PhysX particles and Turbulence effects. Although the green team did not reveal any additional details about it, it was well known that Slightly Mad Studios was looking for ways to further enhance its racer’s tech. Well, now we know some of the additional features that will be featured in it. Continue reading Project CARS will officially support DX11 and Nvidia’s PhysX + Turbulence→
