News::How Crysis 3s Psycho Scan Mesh Was Too Much For Current Gen Game Engine

"As games become more and more photo-realistic, the ability to accurately model and animate faces - be they humans, beasts or otherworldly creatures - remains as strong as ever. The technologies have advanced significantly since the old days of pre-rendered CG, as developers are employing tools like Faceware to bring facial animation and the emotions that come with it into the game."

News::GRID 2 Review | WGTC

Chad from We Got This Covered wrote: In order to get a new sporting venture off of the ground, one must put in an almost unimaginable amount of legwork. Even then, theres no guarantee that all of the hard work will pay off, with multi-million dollar television contracts, star personalities and incredible amounts of fans. Thankfully, video games are able to simplify things, and thats exactly what Codemasters Southam did with the story-based content found within its latest racer, GRID 2.

News::Sega will have Sonic Lost World, Castle of Illusion at E3

Sega's bringing five announced titles to E3 2013 and the big one is undoubtedly Sonic Lost World . It's especially weird for me to say that having played few if any modern Sonic titles outside of the wonderful All-Stars Racing Transformed , which probably shouldn't even count. But Tony is into it, so that's a good enough sign for me.

E3 will also be a chance to hear more about the revamped Castle of Illusion that'll -- fingers crossed! -- live up to expectations. For strategy players, Sega intends to show off more from the long-awaited Total War: Rome II and Company of Heroes 2.

And then there's The Cave , which had me confused until I noticed that this is the upcoming mobile version of the Ron Gilbert/Double Fine adventure title. Nice little lineup!

News::New Thief trailer emerges from the shadows

We know we'll be seeing more of Garret's next-gen return at E3 but until then, here's a new trailer to get you hyped up for the return of the Thief series. It's got exactly what you'd expect: lots of darkness, lock picking, and plenty of gold and jewels to be plundered.

There's still a lot of things I want to know about the new Thief game; is this a quasi reboot? Garret asks if we missed him and information suggestions he's been away from The City for a while now. In a post-Assassin's Creed/Dishonored world, what will Garret's movement and traversal gameplay be like? Will there be anything in the new game that will reach the heights of the Cradle? I suppose I'll only find out once I play it.

News::PC Gaming Will Be The Platform Of Choice Next-Gen

GR writes: "For the past few months gamers have been busy comparing the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One as if theyre the only two contenders of next-gen. Not only are they not, theyre a distraction from the platform that has been alive for longer than most gamers: the PC. PC gaming might have fallen from the top of the totem pole just over a decade ago, but during its time of struggle it was refined. Today, millions of gamers across the globe consider it their primary platform, and thats only the beginning."

Welcome to another edition of Dtoid's Friday Night Fights!

We had a cool little thing planned for y'all tonight, but had to postpone it at the last minute because reasons happened. (Don't worry, you'll get it next week instead. You'll get it hard.)

So enjoy this picture of Dtoid community team member Conor Elsea being assaulted by (left to right) Beccy Cain, Swishiee, JJMcCallum, Gobun, and yours truly. Enjoy it hard.
