SureAI Team is currently developing a total conversion mod for Skyrim that is basically the sequel to Nehrim: At Fate’s Edge, called Enderal – The Shards of Order. The story of Enderal is not set in the Elder Scrolls world of Tamriel, but takes place in its own universe, creating a new, interesting world completely unrelated to Skyrim. This mod has been in development for over a year, and the team released today a new set of screenshots from it. No ETA has been announced as of yet. Our biggest gripe is with the custom TOD that feels of, as well as with the somehow limited shading effects. Hopefully the team will further enhance it before releasing it. Enjoy!

I know, I know, you read that ‘new in-game footage’ line and were so excited that did not pay attention to the tech-thing, right? Well, there was a reason we included the word ‘tech’, as this is simply a timelapse video from GTA V. In other words, this can be considered as a trailer that showcases what the engine will be able to offer us and nothing more. Though there is still no word about a PC version of GTA V, word has it that GTA V PC might get unveiled during Take Two’s upcoming investor call. Until then, though, enjoy the video!

Nordic Games has just unveiled that it has acquired the IP rights of Darksiders, Red Faction and MX vs ATV from THQ. This is great news as a new Darksiders game seems now possible. The bad news is that Nordic Games is not a triple-A publisher like EA or Ubisoft, thus those franchises may not receive the attention to detail (or the budget) most fans have been hoping for.

PhysX.info showcased a new fluid simulation algorithm called Position Based Fluids. We’ve criticized PhysX effects in the past, but this new algorithm sports the best real-time fluids (aka water) we’ve ever seen. It’s no stretch to say that this digital water comes close to the real deal, which is a big accomplishment. It is said that more details on this a new technique will be available later on, in a SIGGRAPH 2013 paper. Currently there are no games taking advantage of this technique, so here is hoping that developers will start using both PhysX 3.0 and the latest techniques that have been introduced to the latest PhysX builds (this new fluid simulation technique will be added in future versions of PhysX SDK or APEX modules). According to YouTube’s ‘Zogrim’ who uploaded the video, a GTX580 was able to handle both sim (~ 130k particles) and rendering at 30 fps. Enjoy! Continue reading PhysX Showcases The Best Real-Time Fluids – Position Based Fluids Demoed→
