Electronic Arts has released the official packshots for its upcoming racer, Need for Speed: Rivals. Need for Speed: Rivals is powered by Frostbite 3 and is said to be locked at 30fps, even on the PC. Which sounds ridiculous but there you have it. Perhaps the low PC sales will force the development team to release a patch that will unlock the game’s framerate? Or will that event force EA to stop porting its racing titles to the PC? Well, who knows. Either way, you can view the packshots below. We’ve also included a gameplay trailer that was released a couple of days ago. Enjoy! Continue reading Need for Speed: Rivals – Official Packshots Revealed→

Cristian Fabian Munoz Isla has released a new video from his upcoming Doom mod that aims to bring NetherRealm’s classic MK games on id Software’s FPS. This new video shows off UMK3 that was recently added to this mod. According to Cristian, the global version of this mod will include Mortal Kombat 1, Mortal Kombat 2 and Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3. From what we’ve seen so far, MK1 feels great, whereas MK2 and UMK3 have some latency and hit detection issues. We don’t know if Cristian can fix them, but they do sometimes break the overall experience. Still, MK1 looks good so that’s a good thing at least. Enjoy!
