Crysis 3 : Sneak Peak



Crysis 3 is one of the most anticipated games of the upcoming year ...So here is a little update from from Producer Michael Read who gave us a little insight as to what we can expect from the latest edition ...

"

Ques : What is the priority in Crysis 3, graphics or gameplay?

With Crysis 3, it's definitely a balance of both of these things, but let's not forget about the story elements as well. There are things that need to be revealed and tied up to make the story fit together as a whole. So let's start with the story...




Crysis 3 has a very deep story that progresses in a linear fashion. Our Cinematics Director, who heads up the process of integrating the story into the game, works very closely with both art and design to ensure the experience, is a thoughtful and engaging one. We get countless questions from our hardcore fans on many elements from Crysis 1, Crysis Warhead and Crysis 2. Without giving any key things away here, Crysis 3 is going to help answer a lot of these questions that players have been asking for years. All of this basically means the gameplay and story go hand in hand to give players a great narrative that is advanced by action sequences they can play in their own unique way.


From the graphics side - the art direction has centered on creating this new environment we call an "Urban Rainforest". What we wanted to bring to the fore is something more organic that has a mix of man-made elements combined with living, breathing flora and fauna. Each of the different areas within the urban rainforest has provided us with some new challenges that we are working to overcome to create a setting that is more interactive and alive than what we'd been previously able to achieve in the CryENGINE.




If we simply had the graphics driving everything here, we wouldn't be able to do the things I outlined above. It's nice to have realistic lighting, particle effects that provide that “wow” factor and water that looks like something you would go swimming in. But we also need certain elements to drive those things ahead and help us make a better engine not only for ourselves, but all projects that use our technology platform. Without having solid creativity to drive things at the core, we'd be designing tools and elements that have no functional purpose.

So, in a nutshell, the priority for Crysis 3 is to make a great all-round experience and not hone in on a single specific aspect.

So there u go guys .... Crysis 3 is scheduled for release at February 2013 for PC, XBOX 360 and PS3.

BF3 : The Online Experience for U



I never had any kind of interest in online gaming ..Since I love only action and Racing games , the online features in that games were very limited . Dota , Diablo , WOW were famous for the online time...Although Counter Strike and Call of duty do have their Servers , none can even come near Battlefield 3 . Designed and created with Frostbite 2.0 engine the environments and lighting look so damn good that you eventually forget that you are in a virtual world.              




Actually I have to thank my friend , bcos he was the one who force me to buy the game . Although I was a little skeptical at first I was dragged inside the Server itself . My best Map is the Metro ...This place is absolutely huge and has deadly corners that makes ur head spin,. Coming to the game , If you thought u were very good in First Person Shooters , then this game wud definitely change your opinion of that . Bcos you are not playing against computer AI here ..These are real gamers like you at the other end of your scope . And believe they are very deadly.



It was a damn difficult at first , I didn t even get a single Kill before getting splattered on the ground or wall.. but then I realised I didn t have the proper kit for ultimate Domination . I decided to go with the one brand that concentrates only on Gaming ...Say Hello to RAZER (www.razerzone.com/)

I ordered

1) Razer  Lycosa Keyboard

2) Razer Death Adder Mouse

3) Razer Vespula Mouse Pad


Man , When I had that in my hand , the game changed . I started with 2 kills as soon as I entered the server . 3..4 ..goes upto 8..9 ...My god I can feel the diffrence in that . I realised finally as to why the gaming products were priced too high . An ordinary mouse has a sensitivity ( DPI ) of 300 t0 400....While Death Adder has DPI of 3500 ...Imagine that ...



But that alone is never enough..In order to truly dominate in the BF3 server u can get tips from the best BF3 team availabe ...


Believe me , these guys know their stuff ...Just have a look into their uploads and u will be boggled , bcos u wudn t even have imagined that there were these kind of levels to think in gaming. Whoever comments that gaming is for no gooders , throw this is in their face and say that nothing is easy. It requries a great amount of passion and skill.

So if you have always wanted to play online but never had any idea as to which one to select then I suggest BF3 is the game for you :-D ...Cheers :-)

Max Payne 3 - How to Install





Phew !!! .Finally I have made it run . 4 hrs I struggled with it and was finally able to crack it. Seriously guys , This is the biggest game I had seen after Grand Theft Auto 4.The first was a 311 rar files . When u unrar it u will get an installer for 26GB . While installing , keep these steps in mind.

1. Close ur internet connection and Antivirus .
2. Make sure u have 30 GB hd space in the drive u r installing .
3. After installing download Updates from here
https://kat.ph/
max-payne-3-updates-only-re
loaded-t6421973.html

4.Install MP3_Patch_Update_1_0_0_17.
exe and Social Club v1.0.9.5 Setup.exe (if u dont install it u will be stuck on Main Page Loading screen after u press ENTER TO START)from that (* MANDATORY *)

5. Download MAX PAYNE 3 UPDATE V1.0.0.22-RELOADED from
http://
www.skidrowgames.net/max-payne-3-update-v1-0-0-22-reloaded.html

6. Install that update . Then use the crack the inside that Folder.DONOT, I REPEAT , DO NOT USE THE CRACK WHICH COMES WITH THE GAME. Bcos unless u have ur Win 7 x64 updated to SP1 , u r going to get a BSOD screen. It happens everytime u open the folder itself.

7. After u copy the crack , Start Max payne 3 with PlayMaxPayne3.exe. Make sure ur internet connection is turned off.

8. Click offline mode in the pop up and when the u enter the Main page , force quit the game .

9. If u look into the crack folder u will find a PROFILES folder . Copy that and paste it in C:/users/my documents/rockstar games/social club

10. Most IMPORTANT STEP : Block the Maxpayne3.exe and PlayMaxPayne3.exe using ur Antivirus Software or windows firewall.. If u don t do this , the Autologin for social club won t work and it will keep on asking for internet connection.

If u follow the above steps to detail , VOILA u can finally get the game running . Thats wat i did . Hope u find this helpful. I am in 6th Chapter as of now . Enjoy and have fun . :-)

Resistance 3




Another awesome release from Insomniac Games, Resistance 3 excels its predcessors in a far more excellent way. The gameplay which was monotonous in the previous parts were made a little unpredictable and new in some parts of this game. 

The story picks off 4 years after , when Joseph Capelli ( Joe ) finishes off Nathan Hale (the former Hero of the first 2 prequels ) with a bullet to his head . Joe after being discharged (dishonourable ) from SRPA setlles down with a beautiful girl Susan Farley and is blessed with a beautiful boy.

Just when Joe thinks peace has settled down , the Chimera pops up against the only nation which is resisting them , USA . In order to provide a peaceful future for his Son , Joe joins up with Malikov in order to destroy the tower in New York . Thus starts his journey through Grim filled towns and Pirates trying to hack him 
up . 
Graphics wise this game was a little let down. I mean after seeing Unchartered 3 and Killzone 3 this game was a little cheap. HELL ! even Killzone 2 had better graphics than this game. But other than that let it be innovative weapons or stimulating Visuals or engrossing storyline this game keeps you hooked up till last. Dont miss it ...

Rating : 8/10

Modern Warfare 3




Another awesome release of Infinity Ward and Sledgehammer Games MW3 packs an awesome punch.

The story picks off after the events of MW2 , with Soap being wounded is rescued by Captain Price of Task force 141 (Disavowed)
America and Russia are at war with each other. All due to the antagonistic Acts of Marakarov. Its upto Price and a special Unit Marine Force soldier Derek 'Frost' to put an end to that.

Although the game is severley lacking in Graphics when compared to Frost bite engine (BF3) , wat it lacks in that has been amazingly stabilized in its gameplay. Although BF3 has its QTE events to say , this game uses less of that and focuses mostly on the narration and the angle in which the game is shown. Especially the level where the plane crash lands, when u chase down Dolk in a car chase and the switch between aerial reconaissance and ground fighting is really amazing like hell.

Weapons are a liitle inaccurate and shoot better only when they are aimed down the sight (God ! Curse this consoles) And most of the weapons are the same with no major diffrence between them apart from their names.

Hell ! but i loved each and every level of the game. Its cool , action packed and has its FREAKING COOL MAN moments in a lot of places.

Serious Sam 3




F**k yeah ...SAM is back baby !!! . For all those gamers who are bored with Slow moving + realistic FPS games , this Game acts as a major refresher . And not to mention the Quicksave feature which is absent in most of the day to day titles. Its good to have it back .

If u had played the old tiltles of Sam , then there is no need to explain how crazy this game is .Whether its fighting against the waves of enemies and battling huge a** monsters ,this game is the best .

Serious Sam 3 offers u all this but in a more refined and beautiful HD package. The game is a prequel to SAM 1 & 2 and the story progress is like u are just nw activating the time portal so that u can go into the future and destroy the evil aliens who are on the verge of destroying ur planet .

Many of the old enemies return like the beheaded Kamikaze
and Bio mechanoid and archanoid Sphinx. Also a lot of new charectors pop up here and ther . But the end result is always the same . U have to slash thru the ugly things with weaponry in ur hand . All it takes is 2 or 3 rockets or a chain of mini gun bullets to take this guys down . Well as they say the bigger they are , the harder they fall .

So if u want to just shoot down enemies in millions (believe me its true ) withiout any real work to tease ur brain ,
then i am sure this is the game for u :-0

NFS : The Run




The 18th title in the Need For Speed Series proves that NFS can never let us down . Tiltled as NFS- Run this time EA and BlackBox have jonied hands again after Undercover and has given us an awesome package. 


This time they have Spiced up the game a little bit by giving it a hollywood style gameplay. The entire game is about a race across the country starting from San Franciso and ending in New York battling with 200 racers for the 1st place and winning prize of 
$25,000,000 . 


The Player takes the Role of Jackson 'Jack' Rourke who in order to escape from the mob enters into the "RUN" under the prompting of Sam Harper. And first time ever the players can move without a car but only with QTE (Quick time Events). Although this is not challenging , it does make the game more dramatic. Rewinds can help u to get back to ur last saved checkpoint in the race.Quite useful but can be a little irritating bcoz , they can get triggered even when
u stray of the track a little and is time consuming which can break the pace of the game :-(




Throughout the RUN u will get to battle with Rivals Marcus Blackwell, Cesar Deleon, Calvin Garret Mila Belova . These guys are the ones who are at the Top ten. The interesting parts in the game are the ones wher u have to escape from the mob or police or natural disasters . Its really cool and dramatic like hell. Especially The part wher u have to travel thru alps when its being bombarderd resulting in landslides and the last race against Marcus .I wont spoil the suprise but it will give u a pointer , Watch ur surroundings :-)


The game has a total of Ten stages which takes u thru Las Vegas, Detroit ,Denver and thru plains ,grasslands , alps . The surroundings /environments are really stunning , thanks to Frostbite engine 2.0 of BF3 fame . First time they had used it in a racing game. The game visuals were a little dull looking , which could have been worked on a little more . Apart from that the game is really stunnnig and challenging .Racing fans will love it for sure
