Have you ever gotten so mad at someone who you just…want to light them on fire? Do you enjoy being all-powerful? How about wearing the most impractical clothes for whatever situation you happen to find yourself in? If you answered yes to one or more of these questions, you may secretly be a mage. One the one hand, you are probably the most bad-ass thing that ever walked the planet. On the other, video games just never seem to do you justice. All you see are flimsy excuses for mages that are constantly out of mana, waiting for cooldowns and being one-shot by goblins. It’s frustrating, but fear not. Finally there comes a game that captures the essence of what it means to be a true mage. This game is called Lichdom: Battlemage.
Twinfinite writes, "Raw power feels great, and that’s exactly what you get in Lichdom. Right away, you’ll be receiving three primary elements: fire, ice, and corruption (there will be nine in total). Any combination of the three results in different ways to dispatch your enemies. You can shoot your spells forward, cast a large area-of-effect attack on any spot in front of you, or raise a magic shield with each corresponding abilities to block or parry enemy attacks."

After the disaster that was Colonial Marines, I will never buy an aliens game again...
I am only going to get two of those (destiny & alien) I will not buy an xbone ever and I am not buying titanfall because it is Ea and they have killed battlefield and took ms greed money to make it a last minute console exclusive I could get the obviously better pc version but I am voting with my wallet!
Ladys and gentlemen please give a warm round of applause for Ea's greed with the titanfall ce wieghing in at £250 ($410) it is gamings biggest rip-off merchants EA!

I talked about diminishing returns in hardware in a blog a while ago comparing next gen consoles and people were telling me I has full of it.
I'd say it'd depend on the speed/capacity of the cores and the structure/nature of the code as to whether this was the case (particularly in the context of GPU bottlenecks, a la the article), not to mention the engine in question.
This title is a little misleading, no?
Sure, they may be observed here, but it's diminishing returns for this particular use case - It's not diminishing returns w.r.t the benefits of multicore processing in general.
The CryEngine threading model; the overall parallelizability of the code-base; gpu frame render times; the amount of general purpose calculations that need to be performed per frame.
Now, all of these things bring about the dev's thinking on the matter. In the general case, however, a highly parallel code-base along with well thought out data access patterns will see speed-ups well into the 10's and even 100's of cores, but only if we ignore other external factors.
