Okay PC gamers, we’ve got some bad and some good news for you today. The bad news is that BeamNG’s drooling physics engine will be moving from CryEngine 3 to the Torgue 3D engine. The good news is that BeamNG is preparing a new racing game that will take advantage of this extraordinary physics engine, and released a new video that can be viewed below. Although there is nothing ground-breaking in this particular video, we’ve got to say that we got a Viper Racing vibe from it, which is good in our books. BeamNG’s middleware physics engine will be portable to other engines too, however we don’t know whether or not any developer will invest on it anytime soon. Enjoy!

Crytek held a Crysis 3 Community Day, in which Sean Tracy showcased some nice and new graphical features of CryEngine 3 – that will also be supported by the upcoming Crysis 3 game. Tracy started as a modder (he was in charge of the Mechwarrior: Living Legends mod for Crysis 1) and is now working in Crytek, proving that talented modders can really make a breakthrough. In addition, Tracy revealed that some of the features that have been demonstrated will come to a new build of CryEngine 3’s SDK. Enjoy the video, courtesy of Crysis-HQ!

Crytek has revealed – via the game’s official FB page – that it will announce something for Crysis 3 this Wednesday. Our guess is that the company will kick off the game’s open beta phase. Let’s not forget that Crysis 3 is planned for a February release, meaning that this open beta will act as a demo and – as you may have guessed – won’t be as useful as it was back in Crysis 1. Still, we kind of hope that Crytek will offer gamers the ability to play the new Hunted mode of it. So, stay tuned everyone for this incoming announcement and until then, enjoy – for one more time – CryEngine 3’s latest tech demo. Continue reading Big Crysis 3 Announcement Coming This Wednesday→
Now this is really interesting. Reddit’s user ‘okitobi2’ shared an image of what supposedly a CryEngine 3 version of Minecraft could look like. Unfortunately for everyone, this picture does not seem like a mod or standalone project created with CryEngine 3’s SDK, but rather a real image that suggests how close a CryEngine 3-powered Minecraft game could look like. In other words, don’t expect it to look this good. And even though this might put off some people, another Redditor has shared a video from a game with a procedural world, powered by Crytek’s engine, that looks sweet as hell. This video shows indeed what a next-gen version of Minecraft could look like, even though we’d ask for textures of even higher quality. Enjoy! Continue reading This is what a next-generation version of Minecraft could look like→
