Hunt: Showdown Launches On Xbox One
Crytek’s online multiplayer bounty hunting game, Hunt: Showdown, is officially on sale for XBox. You’re a gun-toting hunter in nineteenth-century Louisiana, and you’re knee-deep in a swamp swarming with more than just alligators.

But it’s not just them you have to watch out for — it’s every hunter for themselves, and the others have no qualms with eliminating the competition!
Early Prototype Discovered on XBox 360 Dev Kit
An unsanctioned peek at the early development stages of a video game is always interesting, even if that game is Ryse: Son of Rome, the failed launch title for the XBox One.

Crytek think its becoming harder to impress gamers with graphics
One of the most important aspects of gaming for the vast majority of players is how good games look. Since the humble beginnings of video games that had the graphical capability of a calculator, we now have access to a multitude of games that offer visuals that are becoming increasingly realistic. According to Crytek rendering engineer Nicolas Schulz, who was peaking to DSO Gaming, this has made it much harder to impress gamers with graphics than it was in the past. Next generation consoles and high-end PCs are able to handle higher resolutions and push more computing power to rendering objects, but this means that it becomes harder for games to stand out on graphics alone as there is a levelling effect on what developers can achieve.
