Now here is a nice surprise. Following the release of Dragonborn for the PC version of Skyrim, Bethesda has updated its official HD texture pack. As a result of that, PC gamers will be able to enjoy overhauled textures in all of their DLCs (Dragonborn, Dawnguard and Hearthfire). This is remarkably amazing as we know that a lot of PC gamers want to stick with the official HD pack instead of the custom packs that were created by the modding community of Skyrim.

Our guess is that this new COD will be developed by Infinity Ward, given the fact that the previous COD was developed by Treyarch and there is a one-year cycle between the studios that are developing these titles.

Rocket and Matt provided a quick overview of some new elements of the DayZ Standalone project, including the new engine support for clothing, the revised loot spawning mechanics, and some new areas on the map. In all seriousness, this seems really close to the DayZ mod (in terms of visuals), so let’s hope that they’ll overhaul them in the coming months. Not that it is a bad thing, but then again we’d love to see a DayZ 2.0 and not a DayZ 1.3. Enjoy! Continue reading DayZ Standalone Gets First Footage→
