New iCEnhancer Skyrim Screenshots Unveiled

Hayssam Keilany has released a couple of screenshots from his WIP version of iCEnhancer for Skyrim. As said, this is still a ‘Work In Progress’ project, meaning that the following ENBSeries settings are still not final. Keilany really needs to work hard though as we’ve seen some drooling ENBSeries mods for Skyrim. Not only that, but Boris (the creator of ENBSeries) has also been working on Bethesda’s RPG. In other news, GTA IV’s iCEnhancer 2.1P has not been released as of yet. Enjoy the screenshots and stay tuned for more! Continue reading New iCEnhancer Skyrim Screenshots Unveiled

John Carmack Speaks: 30fps on consoles, 60fps on the PC – Doom 3 levels more taxing than RAGE’s

John Carmack has just revealed in QuakeCon 2012 what we knew all this time. Remember when we were claiming that Doom 3 modded looked better than RAGE? Well, the man himself said that Doom 3 levels were more taxing than the ones of RAGE, especially due to the stencil shadows and its more complex lighting system. This clearly shows that RAGE was dumbed down and was not developed in order to achieve what Doom 3 did a couple of years ago.

This is how the next-generation version of ‘The Elder Scrolls’ should look like

Reddit’s user ‘only_eats_plankton’ shared a gorgeous image, that immediately reminded us of Skyrim. To put it simply – this is how the next ‘The Elder Scrolls’ game should look like. Bethesda should use this image as a reference, and we are pretty sure that next-gen systems will be able to come close to it. The biggest obstacles developers might have with it is with the in-game TOD, the whole lighting system, the extended LOD and the shadowing system. Apart from these nitpicks though, we can’t see why next-generation systems could not provide a similar IQ. Of course, we are not speaking about identical or better visuals. After all, nothing can top real-life. But given the rumored specs of next-gen platforms, we believe that we might be playing the next Elder Scrolls game with visuals like that. Well… hopefully. Anyway, enjoy the image after the jump! Continue reading This is how the next-generation version of ‘The Elder Scrolls’ should look like

Although Sergey Grigorovich was quick to react and said that he did not sell the rights to Bethesda, there was definitely something weird going on in the background.
