Ah, the good old Crysis. Such an amazing game and although its SDK was released almost immediately, we haven’t gotten any noteworthy total conversion. There were some in the works that have been cancelled, while others have moved on to Crysis 2. So it’s natural to get excited with the work of modder ‘mrdavid’, the man behind Dark Energy. Continue reading Dark Energy is a great looking sci-fi third person shooter with RPG elements mod for Crysis→
Cheaters. We’ve played against them, we hate them. These people are the main reason we’ve stopped playing BF3 and thankfully, DICE has already started taking care of them. We knew that the company has been banning some of them and we are happy to report that this week, DICE has banned a significant number of BF3 cheaters. This is reasurring – to say the least – and we hope that the company will keep it up. After all, Battlefield 3 was full of cheaters these past weeks.

Our dear friends at PCGamesHardware had the chance to interview Starbreeze and found out some juicy tech details about the upcoming Syndicate game. According to the company, Syndicate uses an advanced and evolved in-house engine, that comes with a global illumination solution and an optimized postprocessing pipeline. Sadly though, Syndicate won’t support the DX10 or DX11 API’s. And there is no need to point your gun to Starbreeze, as this is what we’ve expected. Syndicate is a multi-platform game (therefore it’s built on DX9 by default) and as we’ve said in the past, a proper DX11 game needs to be built from the get-go with that API in mind. Continue reading PC version of Syndicate won’t support DX10/11; multi-core CPUs will be better supported→
Okay, I’m totally amazed by Crysis 2’s modder ‘Chrome235’ work. Chrome235 is developing a mod for Crysis 2 called Arthias. Arthias is a Sci-Fi adventure which will tell a deep, complex, and comes with gorgeous graphics. Seriously, the amount of detail is astonishing and I can’t believe that this mod is developed by one and only man. The work that has been put on it is incredible and you’ll find bellow some screenshots and videos from it. Seriously Crytek, just hire this fella. Just…wow. Continue reading Crysis 2 Mod Arthias pushes CryEngine 3 to its limits and offers jaw-dropping visuals→
38 Studios and Electronic Arts have released the demo of Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning and, well, it was not as good as we’d hoped to. We bet that some of you were also annoyed by its camera angle, as well as some other, various issues. Good news then that Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning’s Lead Combat Designer, Joe Quadara, is requesting players feedback on the demo. Continue reading 38 Studios requests feedback on Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning’s demo→
