A far cry from the slow paced horror jump scare game that was Doom 3, the new Doom has been designed from the ground up around a very simple formula, Guns, Demons & Speed.
The developers themselves explain it best, take a look for yourself.
With a single player campaign, online multiplayer and a ‘powerful easy to use’ level editor built in Doom is out and is available on Steam!
The next release in the award winning Civilization series is set to drop on October 21st with developer Firaxis promising there will be no trickled out expansions over time, it’s all included in the base game at launch!
A brand new engine, better AI, extremely ‘mod-friendly’ and a host of new mechanics not yet detailed are just some of the promises designer Ed Beach told gaming news publication RockPaperShotgun.
Scheduled for release on October 21st EA’s next installment in the Battlefield series will be set during WW1, titled Battlefield 1 and will include both a campaign mode and the massive online multiplayer the series has built it’s name on for years.
Built upon next generation Frostbite engine, the trailer contains scenes rendered in engine that look nothing short of stunning. Terrain deformation, structure destruction, aerial combat, maps set in north Africa, Europe and everywhere in between are just the beginning with several trailers between now and release date undoubtedly planned to trickle out more and more details as the hype train gathers speed.
Nvidia’s long anticipated next generation Pascal GPU is set to hit stores in the form of the GTX 1080 within a month or two boasting 8GB of 10Gbps GDDR5X, 2560 CUDA cores and a new, much bolder stock cooler.
Claims of 2x-3x the performance in VR gaming with 1.5x + the performance in regular DX12 games over it’s GTX 980 predecessor line the Nvidia announcement page. Checkout the announcement trailer below for a quick run down of the headline features.
Until we have a better idea of pricing and get our hands on one of these ourselves to truly test Nvidia’s claims we can’t say whether it’s best to wait a month or two for a GTX 1080 powered custom PC or just build one today with the current 900 series. That being said, expect launch prices to well above that of the GTX 980 and stock shortages for a few weeks come launch day.
If past experience is anything to go by, expect GTX 1080 TI’s, 1070’s and 1060’s to replace the rest of the 900 series slowly over the rest of the year with the full line up in place by Christmas. But if you want don’t want to wait and are itching to get your game on sooner, the very formidable Maxwell powered 900 series is still a great choice and available right now at over at out custom gaming PC page.
Stay tuned to Evatech for details (price, release date, stock availability etc) as we creep closer to launch!
