Developer Blog: Another Average Day In Beta

A new Developer Blog update has been posted on the official site, entitled 'Another Average Day In Beta'.

As we land, I see the familiar skyline of River City, and lament my choice of Mech. It’s not that I don’t like my Atlas, it’s that I love my Jenner here.

My comment:
If these screenshots are anything to go by then the final release will be utterly gorgeous! There is some chatter on the forums that the current beta client doesn't look quite this crisp, but it is likely because the internal dev client is using a more recent build of the CryEngine, as well as DirectX 11. Either way, I think I will be due for a rig upgrade before release time rolls around.
