Nail'd - Playstation 3
Price: $49.99 ETA: 11/30/2010nail'd is a game that mixes brutal speed with over the top roller-coaster track-design insanity to deliver an off-road racing experience unlike any other. You're going to make your powerful ATV or motocross bike do incredible things. Blaze a trail at speeds no other off-road game can match over gaping chasms, through fiery obstacles and high above the ground. In nail'd, you'll blast down near-vertical surfaces and over yawning chasms that plunge into darkness. The rocky teeth of the unforgiving Andes and the vicious challenge of the Yosemite National Park are but two of the places where you'll learn the meaning of verticality. The racing challenge found in nail'd will send your adrenaline glands into overdrive. It's going to hit you hard, but you'll want more. Don't say we didn't warn you.

Android 2.3 Gingerbread snapped running on a Nexus S
Well what do we have here? A Nexus S meets Mr. Blurrycam and decides to do a little reveal. An anonymous tipster managed to get some brief alone time with the fabled Nexus S and decided to whip out his camera to snap a few high-ISO, full of grain shots of the interface. Indeed, as was the Nexus S wielded by Eric Schmidt at the Web 2.0 summit, this next generation Android device was running 2.3 aka Gingerbread. Perusing the gallery below, we can see a few changes to the UI on the surface, like a black status bar, a modified dialing pad for the phone, a few altered icons, and of course the admittedly easy to fake, About screen. But enough bluff, check out the gallery below, and head on over to xda-developers for the full skinny.

Witcher 2 Torrents Could Net You a Fine
An anonymous reader writes with this quote from Eurogamer:
"Gamers who download upcoming PC exclusive The Witcher 2 illegally could receive a letter demanding they pay a fine or face legal action. If gamers refuse to pay the fine, which will be more than the cost of the game, they could end up in court, developer CD Projekt told Eurogamer. 'Of course we're not happy when people are pirating our games, so we are signing with legal firms and torrent sneaking companies,' CD Projekt co-founder Marcin Iwiski said. 'In quite a few big countries, when people are downloading it illegally they can expect a letter from a legal firm saying, "Hey, you downloaded it illegally and right now you have to pay a fine." We are totally fair, but if you decide you will not buy it legally there is a chance you'll get a letter. We are talking about it right now.' Interestingly, The Witcher 2 will be released free of digital rights management – but only through the CD Projekt-owned digital download shop GOG.com. That means owners will be able to install it as many times as they like on any number of computers – and it will not requite an internet connection to run."

Darkworks TriOviz� for Games SDK Brings 3D Capabilities to Unreal Engine 3
Darkworks, the Paris-based action adventure game developer and video game tools provider, today announced that TriOviz for Games SDK has been accepted into Epic’s Unreal Engine 3 Integrated Partners Program (IPP).
“Darkworks is already a recognized leader in the console 3D video game space,” said Alexis Arragon, TriOviz Product Manager at Darkworks. “Partnering with an industry leader like Epic Games is a huge boost for us and it happens at a time when game developers are looking to create robust 3D experiences to meet growing consumer demand. With this relationship, Epic and UE3 licensees will have 3D stereoscopic capability at their fingertips.”
The TriOviz for Games SDK leverages existing three-dimensional graphics information in-game to greatly enhance depth-of-field (DOF), geometry volume and position as well as characters within a scene. This approach negates the need for rendering multiple images, so TriOviz for Games runs at full-frame rate on consoles, enabling developers to maintain the resolution, performance and game play integrity of their AAA console games while running in 3D stereoscopic mode.
“TriOviz and Unreal Engine 3 were used to ship Batman: Arkham Asylum Game of the Year Edition in stereoscopic 3D on PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, so this is proven technology,” said Mark Rein, vice president of Epic Games. “What I like about the latest version of TriOviz is that, with their offering, our engine can support not only the highest quality solution for customers with the latest 3D TVs, such as a PlayStation 3 with a Sony Bravia 3D TV, but also a colored-glasses 3D solution for customers who don’t have a 3D-capable TV. This means users of TriOviz-licensed games can experience stereoscopic 3D on consoles no matter what their budget, and the effort that developers put into making great 3D experiences with it isn’t limited to a small audience of early 3D TV adopters. Combining the best 3D SDK for games with the power of UE3 gives our licensees a huge advantage in enabling AAA 3D experiences for their entire audience.”
TriOviz integration is streamlined and can be implemented very quickly, requiring approximately one week to enhance a game with 3D. Integrating the SDK is much like incorporating a shader, so most development teams already have the tools and expertise needed to implement TriOviz seamlessly.
TriOviz will be available to all UE3 licensees via Epic’s support site, the Unreal Developer Network (udn.epicgames.com), next month.
Darkworks will be in the Epic Games meeting room, BC 430, at Game Developers Conference Online, Austin Convention Center, Oct. 6 - 8, 2010. To schedule a meeting, please send an email to g.hannah@darkworks.com.
For press inquiries, please email pr@darkworks.com.
