Crysis 3 First Details And Gameplay Trailer

 Crytek today announced that Crysis 3 is set for release in 2013.

In Crysis 3, players take on the role of ‘Prophet’ as he returns to New York, only to discover that the city has been encased in a Nanodome created by the corrupt Cell Corporation.

The New York City Liberty Dome is a veritable urban rainforest teeming with overgrown trees, dense swamplands and raging rivers. Within the Liberty Dome, seven distinct and treacherous environments become known as the Seven Wonders. This dangerous new world demands advanced weapons and tactics. Prophet will utilize a lethal composite bow, an enhanced Nanosuit and devastating alien tech to become the deadliest hunter on the planet.

Prophet is on a revenge mission after uncovering the truth behind Cell Corporation’s motives for building the quarantined Nanodomes. The citizens were told that the giant citywide structures were resurrected to protect the population and to cleanse these metropolises of the remnants of Ceph forces.

In reality, the Nanodomes are CELL’s covert attempt at a land and technology grab in their quest for global domination. 

With Alien Ceph lurking around every corner and human enemies on the attack, nobody is safe in the path of vengeance. Everyone is a target in Prophet’s quest for retribution.

Players who are ready to start the hunt can pre-order the Crysis 3 Hunter Edition today . The Crysis 3 Hunter Edition gives players the tools to become the ultimate hunter in multiplayer with early access to the new signature bow and its attachments, plus the Hunter Nanosuit module which adds additional power and functionality to the super-suit.

 Gamers who pre-order now will also have a head start when playing online with a bonus XP boost up to level 5, a unique bow skin and three exclusive dog tags to hunt in style. The Crysis 3 Hunter Edition is available on Origin.com and other participating retailers for £49.99.

Next Unreal Engine In 2014 And Supports 20 Cores

The next version of Unreal Engine won’t be out before 2014 but it will be worth the wait, Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney claimed.

“I spend about 60 percent of my time every day doing research work that's aimed at our next generation engine and the next generation of consoles,” he said.

“This is technology that won't see the light of day until probably around 2014, but focusing on that horizon enables me to do some really cool things that just aren't practical today, but soon will be.”

Sweeney then explained his belief that the biggest challenge and opportunity facing graphics engines in the near future is dealing with multiple CPUs.

“Once you have 20 cores, you can't easily say this one is going to be for animation and this one is going to be for details on the face of the character, because all these parameters change dynamically as different things come on screen and load as you shift from scene to scene,” he explained.

“The big challenge will be redesigning our engine and our workload so that we scale more of these different computer tasks between CPU cores seamlessly in real-time and dynamically so that you're always getting the maximum computing power out with the engine, regardless of what sort of work you're doing.”

How To: Install Windows From a USB Drive

Yes i know about the Tool From Microsoft but for some reason it goes a tad nuts sometimes and cant see the drive you'd like to use.

I just used this method and installed Windows 7. The main advantage is that by using a USB drive you will be able to install Windows7/Vista in just 15 minutes. You can also use this if you dont have a DVD  drive.

Needless to say that your motherboard should support USB Booting to make use of the bootable USB drive.

Requirements:

*USB Hard drive/Flash Drive (Minimum 4GB)

*Windows 7,8 or Vista installation files.(XP may work but i haven't tested it yet)

1. Plug-in your drive and move all the contents to a safe location on your system.

2. Open Command Prompt with admin rights. Use any of the following methods to open the Command Prompt window with admin rights.

*Type cmd in Start menu search box and hit Ctrl+ Shift+ Enter.

Or

*Go to Start menu > All programs > Accessories,  right click on Command Prompt and select Run as administrator.

3. You need to know about the USB drive a little bit. Type in the following commands in the command prompt:

First type DISKPART and hit enter to see the below message.

Next type LIST DISK and note down the Disk number (ex: Disk 1). In the below screenshot my Flash Drive Disk no is Disk 1.

4. Next type all the below commands one by one. Here I assume that your disk drive no is “Disk 1”.If you have Disk 2 as your USB flash drive then use Disk 2.Refer the above step to confirm it.

You need to type and execute these one by one:

SELECT DISK 1

CLEAN

CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY

SELECT PARTITION 1

ACTIVE

FORMAT FS=NTFS

(Format may take awhile)

ASSIGN

EXIT

Don’t close the command prompt window yet, we need to execute one more command at the next step. Just minimize it.

5. Next insert your Windows7/Vista DVD into the optical drive and check the drive letter of the DVD drive.

In this guide I will assume that your DVD drive letter is “D” and USB drive letter is “H” (open my computer to check).

6. Now in the Command Prompt window,  Type :

D:  and hit enter.Where “D” is your DVD drive letter.

CD BOOT

7.To update the USB drive with BOOTMGR compatible code Type: 

BOOTSECT.EXE /NT60 H:

Where “H” is your USB drive letter. Once you enter the above command you will see the above message.

8. Copy your Windows 7/Vista DVD contents to the USB flash drive.

9. All done, Your drive is ready to boot and install Windows 7/Vista. Only thing you need to change is the boot priority in the BIOS to USB from the HDD or CD ROM drive.

Note: If you are not able to boot after following this guide means you haven’t set the BIOS priority to USB. If you got any problems in following this guide feel free to ask questions by leaving a comment.
