EB: As August rolls onward, there isn’t much to look forward to when it comes to new game releases. This upcoming week doesn’t offer much, outside of the long-awaited launch of TheChineseRoom’s Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture. Following that, this week’s other notable titles include PC JRPG Celestian Tales: Old North and a port of OlliOlli 2: Welcome to Olliwood that is landing on Steam.
David at SQUAD writes: "Over the past few months, I’ve found myself lost in a number of books set in my home-land of the United Kingdom. At first, it was by chance, but then I found myself seeking them out. Then I got some games in a few sales -- Assassins Creed: Syndicate and Vampyr, if you must know -- and realized I’d done it again. This got me thinking: does the video game industry do a good enough job of setting games in a diverse set of locations, and how many games are set in the UK anyway?"
DSOGaming writes: "These past few weeks we’ve been showcasing numerous games that were visually improved by Pascal Gilcher’s ray traced Global Illumination method/solution for ReShade. And today, since it’s a slow news day, we are bringing you four games that have been showcased with this alpha Reshade version. These games are Dying Light, Crysis 3, Battlefield 4 and Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture."
Again Reshade is not Raytracing, is a screen space post processing effect. Thats like calling SSAO "Global Illumination"
From Eurogamer: "The Crackdown 3 developer said it had acquired The Chinese Room, the studio behind Everybody's Gone to the Rapture and Dear Esther, from founders Dan Pinchbeck and Jessica Curry."
