There is no denying that John Romero was talented back in the days. There is also no doubt that Daikatana flopped and couldn’t live up to its hype. Oh, and it didn’t make us his bitch after all. But fear not Doom and old-scool fans, as John Romero is about to return. iD Software’s former employee has tweeted that he’s currently working on an old-school FPS title. Before jumping to early conclusions, the answer is no; this upcoming FPS title is not Daikatana 2. Continue reading John Romero is working on a new FPS game; will it make us his bitch?→
A new Humble Indie Pack has appeared on Steam’s registry, suggesting that a new pack is already on its way. The interesting part here is that Steam’s registry has not listed any games for it as of yet. Did Valve intentionally hide the list as there were a lot of leaks due to Steam’s registry? Perhaps. In the past, it took Humble Indie Pack a few weeks to get released after being spotted in Steam’s registry, so we can expect to see this new indie pack in the following weeks.

And it has finally been topped. SEGA’s amazing soccer management is no longer at the first place of the UK PC Charts, as BioWare’s RPG has managed to claim the first place in its first week of release. Not only that, but The Sims 3: Showtime – that was released alongside Mass Effect 3 – can be spotted at the second place, while Football Manager 2012 is now at the third place. And it seems that Assassin’s Creed III has boosted the sales of Revelations, as it managed to re-enter the UK PC Charts and is now at the tenth place. Apart from these changes though, there is nothing worth writing about. All games lost one-three places and sadly, Alan Wake is nowhere to be found.

A couple of days ago, Neogaf’s user ‘cednym’ informed everyone about a supposedly new version of Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3. According to cednym, his local GameStop shop had a listing for Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3X. That new version of UMVSC 3 would feature 8 new challengers and would be priced at $14.99 as a DLC and at $39.99 as a packaged disc version. Naturally, fans asked Capcom whether those rumors were true or not and Capcom’s Christian Svensson went ahead and answered to them.

Earlier yesterday, we presented you some teasing shots of a supposedly new circuit for Project CARS, Slightly Mad Studios’ upcoming community-based racing game. Well, the company has released some new teasers of another country circuit that can be viewed below. Not only that, but when a fan wondered – at the game’s official FB page – what kind of cars would be racing on that particular circuit, the company responded and said that Lamborghini, Ferrari and Porsche cars could run on them. Although Slightly Mad Studios didn’t confirm anything, it’s pretty clear that the company wants to include this kind of cars in their racing game. Imagine that; a gorgeous sim game with Lamborghini and Ferrari cars. Take my money Slightly Mad Studios!

A couple of weeks ago, Mass Effect 3’s executive producer, Casey Hudson, said that the Origin version of Mass Effect 3 would not be using an intrusive DRM scheme. According to Hudson, the game would require a one time, single authorization, and installs would not be limited. However, it appears that EA’s Origin service uses a version of SecureROM, a DRM system that is hated by a lot of PC gamers. In fact, a lot of gamers are boycotting all games that come with any form of SecureROM, and according to Reclaim Your Game, Mass Effect 3 on Origin uses a new form of SecureROM as its DRM. Continue reading SecuROM DRM is integrated into EA’s Origin service, traces of SecureROM in Mass Effect 3→
YouTube’s member ‘FSFLIGHTproductions’ has created a new, lovely video for the impressive Outerra tech demo. According to the user, the shots where hard to get with this movie as there is just a free cam, and no playback feature so it was all done live. And damn does Outerra look sexy. Especially the lighting and the overall feeling is a beauty to behold. Outerra is still in pre-alpha stage but already looks amazing. We urge everyone to download the tech demo and give it a shot. Enjoy! Continue reading Outerra gets a new, lovely video→
Okay everyone, take a good look at the first screenshot because this is an in-game shot from an upcoming circuit of Project CARS. Seriously now, look at the ocean and the sky. I swear, when I first looked at it I thought that it was a real shot. But then I noticed the grass and the slightly blurred (and low-res) mountains in the background and realized that it was an in-game shot. Slightly Mad Studios have outdone themselves and this upcoming circuit looks amazing. Enjoy! Continue reading Slightly Mad Studios teases a new circuit for Project CARS→
Back in the Quake 2 days, Unreal was bashed to death. I tell you guys, there were lots of PC gamers that hated it (my guess is that they bashed it because their PC systems could not run it). Ironically, these days it is considered one of the best FPS titles and we are glad to see most of those naysayers admitting that it was way ahead of its time. Man, I still remember the first encounter with the Scaarj. Or when you got out of the spaceship and admired that beautiful, huge level with the waterfall. Those were some pretty impressive visuals. Continue reading Unreal comes to CryEngine 3 with this custom map→
