Considering the franchise's popularity, there wasn't really any doubt about another Crysis game being in the works, but the upcoming entry has been confirmed after a series of leaks. EA jumped the gun today, briefly posting Crysis 3 on Origin. The listing was swiftly retracted, but not before Webgoers could grab a screenshot (below). Although Origin pulled the entry, remnants of the download page are still indexed on Google. Since that blunder, NeoGAF readers have discovered high-resolution box art and a teaser indicating that Crysis 3 will be featured in an upcoming issue of Game Reactor. If you haven't caught on yet, there are few official details, but the box art depicts a Crysis soldier donning a nanosuit and a lethal compound bow. The background reveals an urban setting, suggesting that the game won't return to the jungle -- or at least not entirely. Based on the premature listings, Crysis 3 will ship on PC, Xbox 360 and PS3 for $49.99 -- $10 cheaper than Crysis 2's launch rate. A pricier Limited Edition is expected, but there's no word on what it'll have. In a statement to The Verge, EA said "the best kept secret in shooters just can't be contained," though the company won't cough up more details until April 16 -- presumably coinciding with Game Reactor's publishing schedule.

report from the PC Gaming Alliance (PCGA) suggests the industry is alive and kicking with record software sales of $18.6 billion in 2011, a 15% increase over 2010. That's partly attributed to China, which is growing nearly twice as fast as the global market, generating $6 billion for a 27% jump on-year. No geographical market declined in sales, while the US, UK, Germany, Korea and Japan felt an 11% boost with $8 billion in revenue. The PCGA noted that free-to-play games (ironically) produced a sizeable portion of the revenue, with Zynga reporting $1.1 billion alone. Chinese outfit Tencent specializes in free-to-play titles and when 2011's figures are fully crunched, it's expected to surpass Activision Blizzard as the company which generates the most revenue from PC games. Tencent and Riot Games' League of Legends hit 32 million registered players last November. "The PC gaming juggernaut continues unabated, across the industry and geographic boundaries. While reports of gaming sales at retail show signs of struggle, the impact hasn't been as great for PC gaming which had an earlier adoption of newer formats, business-models and delivery..." the report reads. It concludes that annual PC gaming revenue will grow 37% to $25.5 billion by 2015 as broadband Internet and digital distribution expand. See! PC gaming isn't dying after all! We're not taking sides, but to be fair, just because it generated buckets of cash last year doesn't mean PC gaming isn't dying -- at least not to those who say it is. When someone claims PC gaming is dying, it's never about sales figures. It's usually about the loss of what made PC gaming great: bleeding-edge graphics, highly customizable, mod-friendly platforms, "hardcore" gameplay, huge expansions and strong communities. That has given way to stagnant engines/APIs, closed platforms, bite-sized DLC and gameplay that is more palatable to mainstream gamers. Profits come first. It's increasingly rare for games to be created specifically for PC and even when developers make such claims, they're often misleading. Battlefield 3 comes to mind. So doesCrysis 2, which launched without support for DirectX 11 along with other console-centric elements. Glancing back at PCGA's report, growth in 2011 mainly stemmed from improving distribution and reaching larger audiences, not necessarily polishing the formula that attracted early PC gamers. Again, we're not saying we think PC gaming is dying (or dead) but it's easy to see why someone might. Dying seems exaggerated, but the industry is definitely changing. With the launch of Mass Effect 3 this week, BioWare is a convenient example. Speaking with Escapist, industry veterans explained how the culture at BioWare shifted from ambitious and passionate to restrained and resentful following EA's acquisition in 2007. Technical artist Dan Fedor described his early contributions as a labor of love. Toward the end of his seven-year tenure, the corporate setting smothered his creative drive. Are money-hungry mega-publishers spoiling the essence of PC gaming?

Anyone use tapatalk for the forums on their smartphone? Nice lil app.

Earlier today, it was announced that Epic Games would reveal a new game at this year's Spike Video Game Awards. Design Director Cliff Bleszinski has confirmed that it will be "something new", and not new entries in the Gears of War or Infinity Blade franchises. In a statement from Bleszinski's official IGN member page, Cliffy stated "The only information i will give now it will be a fps and it wont be like cod of duty ok. Because I know how to make games very EPIC!!." Well said, Cliffy B. "Just cutting down this tree lol. EPIC" As it turns out, Epic's next game won't be like Call of Duty, it IS Call of Duty. According to Bleszinski himself, the next entry in the long running military franchise will be titled Call of Duty: Gears of Brofare. Said Bleszinksi: "Both the Call of Duty and Gears of War franchises have entertained millions of bros worldwide, with their epic campaigns, epically epic multiplayer, and most of all, their epic level of EPICNESS. We're excited to combine both franchises epic sensibilities into something epic that all bros an appreciate. EPIC." Following the reveal, Activision CEO Bobby Kotick had this to say: "We're incredibly excited to add Epic Games to our long list of Call of Duty-exclusive developers, which already includes Infinity Ward, Treyarch, Sledgehammer Games and Raven Software. With Epic on board, we can now increase Call of Duty's output from only one game every year to two games annually, giving gamers exactly what they want." What do you think? What would you like Epic Games to bring to the long running franchise? Let us know in the comments!

ASUS XONAR_XENSE 7.1 Channels out of stock at the moment at newegg

Information coming from a "reliable" source has informed DonanimHaber that AMD is expected to release its new Radeon HD 7900 series on January 9, 2010. This is a day ahead of the typical Tuesday release, along with one day before the official start of CES 2012. It is expected to have two cards released, the HD 7970 and HD 7950, that are based on AMD's new 28 nm "Tahiti" platform. Early specifications for "Tahiti" (based on bits and pieces of information from various sources) are listed below. These specifications match closely to what was originally reported in September for the HD 7970 and HD 7950. 4.50 billion transistors, die-area of 380 mm², built on TSMC 28 nm process Advanced GCN 1D architecture 2048 1D processing cores 128 TMUs, 48 ROPs 384-bit wide GDDR5 memory interface, memory clock slightly below 1 GHz, target bandwidth of 240~264 GB/s In addition, it is reported the new HD 7900 series will introduce Eyefinity 3D. This will add support for 3D-optimized (120 Hz) displays, and allow users to create large stereoscopic 3D display heads using multiple 3D displays. All of this looks to be coming with a hefty price though, as early European pricing for the HD 7970 is in the range of 539-549 Euro (or $699.03 to $712.00)
