Darksiders II’s character recreated in CE3, next-gen visuals showcased for various type of games

CryEngine 3 v2
Ever wondered what Darksiders 2 would look like in CryEngine 3? Well, time to get a taste of it.

In addition, we present you some new images from the works of modders trazec, ReVan1199, Davlin, codecode and qpffhtmxj, showcasing what we can at least expect from the first batch of next-gen titles.

After all, this was already hinted back in February. Continue reading Watch Dogs – New PC Graphical Features Revealed
