CryEngine 3 never ceases to amaze us. Crytek has just released the latest 3.3.9 version of their SDK and as you’d expect, some modders decided to experiment with it. Be advised though: lights are not rendered into the cubemaps with this new version of CryEngine 3’s SDK and both supersampling & customres are not working. Hopefully Crytek will release a hotfix in the coming days. But anyway, today we bring you new shots from modders iSqueezee, Lex4art, Nevil112, ReVan1199, blackhorizon, rGOt, Cleric, Lavizh, USSR_GRAND, Cry-Puppy, and frmdbl. Enjoy!

You know what? I love Crytek. Yeah, the company screwed us with the initial release of Crysis 2 but since then, we’ve been getting a lot of support and love. Earlier yesterday, we reported that CryEngine 3.3.9 SDK was available and today, we bring you a video that shows off the new changes made to Crytek’s latest SDK tool. What’s also interesting is that the company showcases in this video an ‘Angry Birds’ clone while showing off the engine’s new Flograph Breakpoints. The new SDK is available for download right now. Enjoy the video after the jump. Continue reading CryEngine 3 Free SDK 3.3.9 Update Video gives us a glimpse of an ‘Angry Birds’ clone in CryEngine 3→
And it’s finally revealed. The next Medal of Honor title will be called Medal of Honor: Warfighter and is slated for release this October on current generation consoles and PC. That was revealed by the latest issue of the Official Xbox Magazine. Medal of Honor: Warfighter will be a reboot to 2010’s Medal of Honor title, which was also a reboot to the old franchise. And… well… we can’t wait for the next Medal of Honor title that will most probably be a new reboot (yeah, that was a joke in case you didn’t catch it).

This is too good to pass by. Reddit’s user MikkelManDK has spotted a nice surprise inside the installation folder of Syndicate PC. It seems that Starbreeze decided to include a .nfo file as an easter egg that is addressed to the PC piracy scene. In case you are unaware of, most scene groups place a .nfo file in their releases with installation instructions. Starbreeze went ahead and placed a similar file into Syndicate’s folder (SBZ.nfo and SBZ stands for StarBreeZe) with proper instruction in how you can install and play the game. Great find MikkelManDK! Continue reading Syndicate PC features an amazing easter egg, addressed to the PC gaming piracy scene→

A couple of days ago, Mass Effect 3’s “From Ashes” DLC was leaked via XBLA. Obviously, BioWare wasn’t prepared for such a leak and after a few days, the company decided to clarify why it was not included in the main game and reveal some more details about it. The content in From Ashes was developed by a separate team (after the core game was finished) and not completed until well after the main game went into certification. And that’s why the content was not included in the main game. Continue reading Mass Effect 3: From Ashes DLC Detailed; screenshots and video coming in the following days→
BioWare has launched an alternative reality game (ARG) for Mass Effect 3. UK Citizens are asked to sign-up a petition in order to force the government to release information about UFOs and extra-terrestrial life. The petition asks for 10K sign-ups, so our guess is that once this number is achieved, we’ll move on to the second phase of this ARG. It’s interesting to say the least and we’d encourage you to sign it. Can’t blame us for loving ARGs, can you? Continue reading Mass Effect 3 ARG Launched; Petition Asks Government To Release Info About UFOs→
