Jurassic Park Invades CryEngine 3 With Yet Another Fan-Made Game

Jurassic Park v3
It’s pretty obvious by now that PC gamers NEED a good Jurassic Park game, an FPS title that can blow our minds away, an FPS that can come as close to the first film’s environments as possible, and a game that will look as good as most modern-day titles (or even better). So, today we bring you another game that is being developed via CryEngine 3’s SDK, called Jurassic Park: Aftermath. This game is being created by a single guy who has released a video for it, showcasing his work over the past 3 weeks. It looks remarkably amazing, though it still needs a lot of work (especially with the models and AI of the dinosaurs). What really impressed us with Aftermath, though, was the environments. Vagrantart did an excellent work, so we can’t wait to see some more refined footage from it. Enjoy! Continue reading Jurassic Park Invades CryEngine 3 With Yet Another Fan-Made Game

Crash Bandicoot Returns
We’ve covered Crash Bandicoot Returns in the past, and we were really wondering what had happened to this Crysis mod as there weren’t any news lately. Thankfully, the team behind it broke its radio silence and revealed some interesting new information about it. First and foremost, Crash Bandicoot Returns is no longer a Crysis mod. The team decided to use CryEngine 3 and as a result of that, this will be a standalone game (completely free and available online for PC only).

Crytek’s CEO Admits That Crysis 3 Was Limited By Current-Generation Consoles

Crysis 3 v3
Well, we already knew that Crysis 2 and 3 were limited by its consoles counterparts. Still, it’s good to see companies admitting that, and here comes today Cevat Yerli who stated that even Crysis 3 was limited by current-generation consoles. Yes, Crysis 3 is a great looking game on the PC and Crytek did exceptional things with it (great scaling on both CPU and GPU, even though it’s demanding as hell), however – and as we’ve stated about those physics calculations – the team did not take it to the next level.

Crysis 3 – PC Performance Analysis

Crysis 2 v4
Crysis 3 has been unleashed on the PC and it’s time to see how Crytek’s latest FPS title performs on the PC platform. As you may have heard, Crysis 3 is a DX11-only title and we have to confess that it sports the best visuals we’ve ever seen. However, it seems that CryEngine 3 is being pushed to its limits with those physics calculations that were introduced. Ironically, all physics are calculated by the CPU, meaning that you will nee a really top of the line CPU in order to enjoy it. But more on this later.
