Codemasters and Deep Silver Showcase the Graphical Enhancements and Cars Coming to F1® 2019

Larkspur, Calif. – June 6, 2019 – Art Director Stuart Campbell at Codemasters provides an inside look at the visual upgrades coming to F1® 2019: The Official Videogame, the latest entry in the acclaimed Formula 1 racing franchise, which includes improved lighting effects, realistic atmospheric haze and refined surface details that puts fans closer to the action. Check out the assets below along with Campbell’s commentary on F1® 2019’s graphical enhancements.

“Night lighting was one of our visual update priorities for F1® 2019. We took the atmospherics system that we introduced in F1® 2018 for daytime lighting, and further developed this for the night tracks. We now have full atmospheric haze on night circuits, giving a true sense of depth. There’s a lot of dust in the air on those circuits and, at night, the particles really interact with the strong trackside lighting.

The atmospherics help pull the whole scene together and give a greater sense of realism. We have added volumetric lighting to the trackside lighting, which results in the cones of light falling off from the light sources – another key factor in making night lighting look more realistic. Finally, we added nighttime specular. This was not present at all in previous games and made the nighttime scenes look rather flat, and the surface materials ambiguous.

The specular additions have made a huge improvement to the quality of the track materials at night. The extra surface information provided by this allows you to see all the surface details that were lost previously. The vehicle paint, in particular, looks amazing on the night circuits, and picks-up highlights from all those track-side light sources making it look incredibly close to TV footage of the sport itself.”

F1® 2019: The Official Videogame launches on June 28 in the United States and is now available for pre-order. Visit http://www.formula1game.com/ for more information.

Larian Studios Announces Baldur’s Gate III

Developed and published in-house by the creators of critically-acclaimed Divinity: Original Sin 2

Larian Studios is proud to announce that they are developing and publishing Baldur’s Gate III on PC and Google Stadia. Created in close collaboration with the Dungeons & Dragons team at Wizards of the Coast, Baldur’s Gate III is based off current D&D mechanics and spells and is the official new chapter in the legendary series.

Baldur’s Gate III will push the boundaries of the RPG genre and offer a rich narrative with unparalleled player freedom, high-stakes decisions, unique companion characters and memorable combat. It is Larian Studios’ biggest production ever and will be playable together with friends or as a single-player adventure.

The teaser trailer shows a return of a malevolent presence to Baldur’s Gate, intent on devouring it from the inside out, corrupting everything that remains in the Forgotten Realms.

Alone you may resist, but together you can overcome. Gather your party.

“Baldur’s Gate means so much to so many people. It’s a great responsibility but I think we’re ready for it,” said Swen Vincke, Creative Director at Larian Studios. “We’re all about creating reactive, systemic worlds that respect player agency and having a chance to apply our team’s skillset in a universe as rich as Dungeons & Dragons is a lot of fun. We’re working very closely with Wizards to bring an unprecedented level of immersion to the realm of Faerun and I can’t wait to show the world what our team cooked up.”

“Partnering with Larian, a studio that combines a remarkable history of critically-acclaimed titles with a genuine passion for one of the most iconic locations in Dungeons & Dragons, has been a terrific experience,” said Chris Cocks, President of Wizards of the Coast. “We believe fans of the Baldur’s Gate saga – and even those new to the series – will be thrilled to step into this epic story.”

Larian Studios plans to work closely with the global community to bring the coveted series to life, with more news to follow over the course of the year.
