Inversion was initially meant to be a console exclusive. Although Saber Interactive had previously released a great PC game (like Timeshift), the studio decided – during Inversion’s early development cycle – to only release it on consoles. Back in July 2011, a rumor arose, suggesting that Inversion PC was already under development. It took Namco Bandai a while to confirm this rumor and in March 2012, the company officially announced that Inversion would hit PC this Summer. Fast forward a couple of months and here we are with its PC version, a version that looks better than its console counterparts, performs better, scales great on multi-GPUs and is packed with some of the best physics we’ve ever seen.

Rockstar released four new screenshots for GTA V, that showcase some of the game’s missions. It seems that Rockstar has overhauled the lighting system of its open-world game, as we can spot a bokeh DoF effect on the first image and gorgeous flashlight effects on the last one. Not only that, but GTA V will feature better textures than its predecessor. GTA V looks great, and we can’t wait to see how this game will look like with an iCEnhancer mod. Enjoy! Continue reading Grand Theft Auto V – Four New Screenshots→
Milestone has released a new gameplay footage for its upcoming rally racing game, WRC 3. This gameplay video feels a bit awkward, as the car seems to behave almost idenctical to those of WRC 2. Yeah, we were expecting for something more than that. Truth be told, graphics have been overhauled but this title cannot come close to what Slightly Mad Studios has achieved with Project CARS. Still, it looks interesting since we haven’t gotten a rally racing game for quite a while, though this is definitely not the rally racing game that will top Richard Burns Rally in terms of physics and car behavior. WRC 3 is slated for an October release. Enjoy! Continue reading WRC 3 – Argentina Rally Stage Gameplay→

Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition will be unlocked in a couple of hours and we bet that most of you are really disappointed with the game’s resolution lock. Well, NeoGAF user ‘Durante‘ decided to take a look at this game and after 23 minutes, the modder figured out a way to unlock the game’s internal resolution. We should also note that the modder did not have any access to the game’s source code. So kudos to him and boohoo to From Software for not fixing something that would take them a couple of hours. Continue reading Dark Souls: Prepare To Die Edition – NeoGAFer ‘Durante’ to the rescue – Resolution Fix Released→
