The War Z Drama; Zombie FPS Gets Released On Steam, Is Incomplete, Gets Bashed, Developers Respond

The War Z
All hell has broken loose, as The War Z – a zombie survival game that has almost the same name with ArmA II’s free mod, DayZ – has been released on Steam. Now getting this massive coverage from all over the world would be a good thing for Hammerpoint, unless of course people started claiming they were a bunch of liars and copycats, that they are offering a game that is faulty advertised, and that they do not support features that were listed on the game’s Steam page. Which is basically what has happened so far, but let’s take things from the beginning.

Crytek’s CEO confirms that – and fails to explain why – Crysis 3 is a DX11-only title

Crysis 3 v2
Earlier this month, we posted Crysis 3’s official requirements. As those requirements suggested, Crysis 3 was planned to be a DX11-only title, something that was hinted by the game’s alpha beta stress test. However, and since Crytek did not officially comment on them, a lot of PC gamers believed that DX10 could be supported by the DX11 renderer, something that is happening in a lot of games. Unfortunately for those hoping for something like that, Crytek’s CEO Cevat Yerli revealed that Crysis 3 will be a DX11-only title. Continue reading Crytek’s CEO confirms that – and fails to explain why – Crysis 3 is a DX11-only title

Peter Molyneux’s Project Godus Gets A Prototype Video

GODUS
Peter Molyneux and 22Cans have released a prototype video for Godus. Although this video was made in just two weeks, I have to say that it’s a bit underwhelming. You see, Godus – at its current state – looks like an uglier version of Black & White (without its creature-thing). I have no doubt that 22Cans will polish its title, however I’m a bit concerned with what the team has shown us so far. In all honesty, it doesn’t look like something that will leave you speechless. But anyway, you can view this prototype video below and you can back its Kickstarter campaign up (only 3 days left to it). Continue reading Peter Molyneux’s Project Godus Gets A Prototype Video

Today, Carmack reconfirmed those beliefs, despite the recent rumors about the hardware that will power both X720 and PS4.
