This week, Crysis 2 modders have been experimenting with various TOD’s and as we can see below, they came up with some interesting shots. One of them looks simply amazing and that’s from modder chicken. Crysis has never looked as good as this and proves the difference that a polished TOD can make. But that is not all, as modders bac9-flcl and themodman101 have released some shots from their latest maps. We also bring you some screenshots from Cry-Puppy, VinoBob, rGOt, and iSqueezee. Enjoy!

A lot of PC gamers were disappointed with the visuals of Mass Effect 3’s demo. Although there were lots of cool effects, the game’s textures were really low-res. As you’d expect, a lot of them expressed their feelings to both BioWare and Electronic Arts. And we are happy to report that BioWare will include higher-resolution textures in the full version of Mass Effect 3 PC. Continue reading Mass Effect 3 PC – full version will feature higher-resolution textures than those of its demo→
Two days ago, EA announced an amazing offer for all North American gamers. According to the company, those who’d pre-order Mass Effect 3 would be getting a free copy of Battlefield 3’s digital version. The only thing you had to do was add the Mass Effect 3 pre-order to your shopping cart and a code for Battlefield 3 would be emailed to you by March 8, 2012. Unfortunately – and even though EA has stated that this offer would run until March 5th – this deal is over.

There was a rumor, early last month, that the next big patch for Battlefield 3 would be hitting platforms in February. Among other things, this rumored patch would include in the PC version a Commo Rose 2.0, that is currently in development by DICE. Well, unfortunately the rumors were not true, as Daniel Matros has revealed that the patch won’t be coming this month. Continue reading Battlefield 3 – Next Major Patch won’t be coming in February→
Remember when everyone was jumping around – prior to Battlefield 3’s release – due to the fact that Commo Rose would be included in it? Oh the joy. Fast forward some months though and we can clearly see that Commo Rose is broken. Not only that, but it seems that it is there only for the sake of being there. In other words, Commo Rose is there in order to satisfy some old fans, and while it does that, it just isn’t useful in its current form. All this could very well change though, as DICE is working on an improved version of it. Continue reading Battlefield 3 – DICE is working on an improved version of Commo Rose→
Our dear friends at EVGA have uploaded a video to showcase Nvidia’s FXAA technology in Mass Effect 3. As we can see, FXAA does a great work at smoothing out the game’s jaggies but introduces a slight blur effect. Those interested in a different method can go ahead and try the SMAA Injector that offers even better results in most games, without blurring the image. We are not certain though if SMAA Injector is compatible with BioWare’s RPG, so use it at your own risk. Enjoy the overview video after the jump.

That’s hilarious. A new update for the PC version of Battlefield 3 has rolled out and guess what; it comes with that awful ‘Corrupted File/Memory [9808096]’ issue that was introduced some months ago. Since this morning, a lot of PC gamers have been kicked/banned from the public servers due to that issue, while others had to manually update Punkbuster in order to play the game.
