Andrew Bryant — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 17:56:02 +0000

Anyway, Crytek have thrown up a Crynet Systems brochure site that can’t be anything BUT a teaser for Crysis 2… (ok, it could be a teaser for a Crysis console port using the optimised CryEngine 3 in advance of a multi-platform release of Crysis 2, but meh)

Check it out for vids and wallapers showing off the new Nanosuit 2 (these government departments have all the best focus groups), coupled with a specification list of new features, including the meme-licious Necro-Organic Metabolites plug-in, which was noticed by RPS (thanks … Read More...

Virals-R-Us : THQ made a Rhino Tank

Andrew Bryant — Wed, 11 Feb 2009 20:39:51 +0000

Basically, it’s what it says on the tin.

THQ, in cohorts with Games Workshop and Tanks-a-Lot, made a real Space Marine Rhino tank and then set about demolishing (admittedly worthy of such destruction) cars.

Need I say more? Find out how the Rhino was built here, if that sort of thing turns you on … Read More...
