Avatar meets Crysis: Pandora Map in development

New CryEngine 2 map in the works. First video inside.

Nambassa5958d ago (Edited 5958d ago )

Looks beautiful especially at 00:20

i_like_ff75958d ago

Doesn't look anything like pandora. It just looks like crysis with purple lighting.

mrv3215958d ago

Oh well done....

You've decided to make a map based of a mediocore film at best which relied too heavily on graphics to carry it's

Weak plot
Weak relationship
Poorman politics
Stupid Characters
The most unbelievebly BAD one sideness despite the whole thing being about the Avatar.

You want a Avatar film done well? Watch the Beast and Ninth Company. Seriously anyone who likes GOOD films cannot seriously look at Avatar and go yeah that's GREAT. It's simply put MEDIOCORE are best. And now they've decided to put it into a game who's main basis was it's graphics.

Here's an idea. Make a map based off Dr. Strangelove base or the war room, I'd settle with the Amusement park in Amelie over this or even the streets surrounding clerks.

I love the effort think it's genius what they did BUT COME ON AVATAR AS YOUR SOURCE MATERIAL.

ATi_Elite5958d ago

Chill out mrv321 your gonna blow your assimilation robotic hive mind unit thingy.

Yes AVATAR holds the record for most money made but that doesn't mean it's an Oscar contender. (Razzy at best)

your correct mediocre at best but the visuals is why we went to see it. (I went to see ZOE SALDANA)The movie is not the Godfather and the movie you mention is a classic and 99.9% of the people playing Modern Warefare 2 have never seen Dr. Strangelove (your OLD LOL)

But I get your point. Me personally I would love a game based off a Clockwork Orange

@mrv321

Do you feel better now? Or do you still want us to get your blankie? We get it! You're an awesome film buff and only like movie like "the Hours" and "Remains of the Day". God forbid anyone likes a film that's just entertaining fun.

RememberThe3575958d ago

It sounds like your just being a sour puss. And no one likes to read a sour puss rant.

The difference is that I LOVE films(in general). You love "great" films, or as I like to call them artsy hit-or-miss films.

It seems like Avatar is the kind of film that some many people love that those who claim to be film connoisseur have to pick it apart to set themselves apart from the crowd.

Well, f*ck that, I loved the movie and I can't wait for the sequels.

Well put! Have a bubble. BTW- I'm a lover of all types of movies (over 70 BRs and countless DVDs). :)

Playing it right now looks amazing! :D
so much fun, i hope they make a vr mod for crysis 2 / 3 too!

DivineHand125486d ago

This is amazing. This is the direction VR should go in to boost adoption. Since I have beaten every Crysis except 1, this is now a good excuse to correct that problem.

Crytek Wanted Crysis To Be "Future-Proof"

According to Crytek CEO Cervat Yerli, "I want[ed] to make sure Crysis does not age, that [it] is future proofed, meaning that if I played it three years from now, it should look better than today." Yerli and the team designed Crysis' highest graphical settings for the PC hardware of 2010 and beyond.

While Crytek has officially announced Crysis 4 is in development, nothing new has surfaced. For now, gamers' only way to scratch that itch is to play the Crysis Remastered Trilogy available on PC and consoles.

OG 2007 Crysis (not the remastered weirdo), is & will forever be a legend amongst the PC community.

PrinceOfAnger491d ago

This video will always be impressive to me, even for years to come. Some things here are better than games we have today, OG crysis is the best version!

RaidenBlack491d ago

OG Crysis physics, man ... amazing! Thanks for the reminder!

PrinceOfAnger490d ago (Edited 490d ago )

Looks really nice with VR mod too

FinalFantasyFanatic490d ago

I'm still shocked that it looks as good as it does today, puts some modern games to shame.

Profchaos489d ago

I thought the remaster was fine tbh some rough edges at launch but after some patches it's decent

isarai490d ago

I mean the lighting and physics still hold up extremely well. I still revisit it from time to time.

RedDeadLB490d ago

That CPU performance thing is preventing it.

isarai489d ago

Yeah unfortunately Crystek's decision to bet on the linear progression of clock speed in CPUs was derailed by the unforseen shift towards multicore CPUs. It just wasn't built with that in mind because that wasn't even in the conversation at the moment

DivineHand125490d ago

I remember when I tried to play Crysis with my Intel Pentium Dual core E2200 @2.2GHz , 4GB ram and GeForce 9400gt. I was a kid back then and that was the best I could do. I would get about 15 to 20 fps. When I over clocked the CPU to 2.8GHz I would get about 40fps. The experience wasn't good at all and it was the only PC game I could not run back then unless and put the settings on low. At that point the game went from cutting edge graphics to PS2 graphics. To this day I haven't completed the OG Crysis. I was able to complete Crysis 2 and 3 after building a new PC when I got my first job.

HyperMoused490d ago

Never played it, worth a try you think?

Profchaos489d ago (Edited 489d ago )

Worth a try just because it's the only game that lets you pick up a turtle on the beach and throw it at enemy soldiers that should have been a back of the box feature.

But nah seriously unless you're nostalgic for it I'm not sure if it will hold up

Crytek went so overboard on the Crysis tech and sent devs to photograph leaves in Haiti

"The shader work that came out of this was mind-blowing at times."

RaidenBlack503d ago

Amazing, often misunderstood
The dumb AI was deliberate, so that the players can explore and experiment with the world and all the features.

vTuro24502d ago

It really is. Most people only remember it for its graphics but the gameplay was equally amazing.

RaidenBlack503d ago

Hope they try to pour nearly same amount of dedication to the new Crysis 4

DefenderOfDoom2503d ago

Well worth the extra work ! I enjoyed all 3 Crisis games and would also love a new one .

JunonZanon503d ago (Edited 503d ago )

Still wish game development was overall this passionate and minutious about their projects. Obviously, there are still some great studios as exceptions.

LikAChicken502d ago

I’ll never forget Far Cry 2 and the amount of details they packed in.

Yea there were some issues with the gameplay loop and the sickness aspect but you could tell they really tried to nail details.

DivineHand125502d ago

I haven't beaten the first Crysis but I did play Crysis 2 and Crysis 3. I know some PC players were annoyed by the last 2 games being developed with consoles in mind but I believe it was an improvement. I had a great time with Crysis 3 to the point where I believe it was too short.
