Command & Conquer: Generals 2 is a reality, triple-A PC exclusive from BioWare

And it has just been revealed. Command & Conquer: Generals 2 is a reality and will be a triple-A PC game. The game will be developed by BioWare and in cased you didn’t catch it, it will be a PC exclusive title as the only available platform – for the time being – is the PC. Given that this is EA though, we might see it on consoles too. However, the game is PC exclusive for now. Interesting, no? Oh, and the game will not support DX9 as we can see from its minimum requirements. Does this mean that it’ll use the Frostbite 2.0 engine? Oh yes it does. BioWare and Frostbite 2.0 in a strategy game. Seriously now, what more could you ask for? The game is currently slated for a 2013 release and we have some screen-grabs from the official release, the first details, system requirements and its teaser trailer after the jump. Enjoy everyone!

Return to Jurassic Park – New Mind-Blowing Screenshots From This Crysis Mod

Our dear friends at PCGames.de have posted some new screenshots from Return to Jurassic Park. Return to Jurassic Park is a Crysis mod for Jurassic Park with a fictional story setting on Isla Nublar 18 years after the first film. Well, at least that’s the plan of the mod team and although it’s clearly stated to be a Crysis mod, word has it that it will be moved to Crysis 2. What’s also really interesting is that one of the ‘compy’ images is actually a ingame shot. It’s hard to believe that a modding team has managed to produce such real-time graphics, so our guess is that it’s a PR trick and nothing more. Still, these renders look lovely. Enjoy!

PC gamers, meet SMAA; an AA method that comes without any performance hit and can be forced to any game

One of the greatest things of PC gaming is the workarounds that most modders/programmers/developers can come up with for various issues and technical limitations. By now, most of you will be aware of FXAA, an anti-aliasing method that can be forced to pretty much every game and comes without any major performance hit. If you’ve ever tried that method, you’ll be already aware of the blurriness that is introduced with it. Well, get ready everyone because Andrej Dudenhefner created an injector tool that forces Subpixel Morphological Antialiasing to every game, with results similar to FXAA but with an even lower performance hit and without any blurry effects.

Okay guys, I’m puzzled here. This is the first time I’ve seen a racing game requiring such a high-end GPU.
