This is what a next-generation version of Minecraft could look like

Minecraft
Now this is really interesting. Reddit’s user ‘okitobi2’ shared an image of what supposedly a CryEngine 3 version of Minecraft could look like. Unfortunately for everyone, this picture does not seem like a mod or standalone project created with CryEngine 3’s SDK, but rather a real image that suggests how close a CryEngine 3-powered Minecraft game could look like. In other words, don’t expect it to look this good. And even though this might put off some people, another Redditor has shared a video from a game with a procedural world, powered by Crytek’s engine, that looks sweet as hell. This video shows indeed what a next-gen version of Minecraft could look like, even though we’d ask for textures of even higher quality. Enjoy!

Despite the fact that this particular mod overhaul the game’s visuals (the texture work that has been done to it is among the best we’ve ever seen), a lot of gamers were put off by the alternative models of some characters. If you were one of them, you’ll be happy to here that a team of modders is working on a new graphical mod for Half Life 2 called Half-Life 2: Enhancement Mod. Continue reading Half-Life 2: Enhancement Mod Promises To Overhaul Games’ Visuals, Will Support POM & Dynamic Shadows
