CryEngine 2 Screenshot Gallery 5 Released

InCrysis.com - Let's see, it's almost 1, 2, 3... yeah, almost 8 full months since the last gallery. During that time, lots of amazing screens and videos have been piling up at our virtual storage room so, it's about time we open up a new gallery.

Here is a yet another look on what can be accomplished by creative minds who have harnessed the power of the Crysis engine, officially known as CryEngine 2.

That's just insane, most of the screens look better than the new engine :)

Fishy Fingers5666d ago

CryEngine 3 will look better, if perhaps only slightly. The main advantage is you wont need quite such a beast PC to achieve good results with CE3. Seems more about optimizing (with console support) than out and out improvement, and really, why do they need to improve that much, CE2 embarrasses pretty much everything else out there, if you can run it nicely.

FantasyStar5666d ago (Edited 5666d ago )

I think all of the stuff achieved in CE3 is possible with CE2 if someone's willing to put the work into it. Obviously you can't have good lens-flare effects in CE2 if no one bothered to create the .png for it, but that doesn't mean that it isn't impossible. I like to think of comparing game engines based off what they're capable of, not what they have/don't have.

thorstein5666d ago

That video and the "realtime fantasy environs" leave me speechless.

Pandamobile5666d ago

All of the CE2 screenshots should look better than what we've seen of CE3 already. We've only seen the DirectX 9 and console versions of the game.

FantasyStar5666d ago

I think moving over to CE3 might be a better welcome for the CryMod community. Yeah, the stuff will look about the same and what-not. But the real benefits is the opportunity to work with DX11 Codepaths.

Pandamobile5666d ago

CryEngine 3 will have a lot better lighting too. I can't wait to get my hands on that sexy editor.

ProjectVulcan5666d ago (Edited 5666d ago )

Shows you how close we are now to true photo realism in games. Literally right on the cusp of it, with only a couple more generations of GPU performance needed to give us realtime rendering. Once the video cards break the 10 teraflops barrier (5970 is about 4.5 teraflops, peak) then i think its only down to the software to utilise it. I.e a game that pushes the limits on such a card.

10 teraflops performance is two generations away, at most. Late 2012 possibly...

evrfighter5666d ago

Completely agree with you. Though the only way we get it in 2012 is if Nvidia comes back hard at ATI so that neither one of them become lax.

SaberEdge5666d ago

Amazing stuff.

I loved this video: http://www.youtube.com/watc... It made me laugh.

This stuff still proves cryengine 2 is still an amazing engine. Wow some of those look photo-realistic.

Hazmat135666d ago

im a huge console fan but very impressive pic's i bet if your put ALOT of work into it you could make a full on zombie game

tdrules5666d ago

Eorzea on CE2 looks better than in FFXIV unsurprisingly

Can you run Crysis in VR? Crysis VR Mod Available for Download

Holger Frydrych has just released a cool VR Mod for the 2007 version of Crytek's first-person shooter, Crysis.

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

DivineHand125398d 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.

PrinceOfAnger403d 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!

RaidenBlack403d ago

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

PrinceOfAnger402d ago (Edited 402d ago )

Looks really nice with VR mod too

FinalFantasyFanatic402d ago

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

Profchaos402d ago

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

isarai403d ago

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

RedDeadLB402d ago

That CPU performance thing is preventing it.

isarai402d 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

DivineHand125402d 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.

HyperMoused402d ago

Never played it, worth a try you think?

Profchaos402d ago (Edited 402d 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."

RaidenBlack415d ago

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

vTuro24414d ago

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

RaidenBlack415d ago

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

DefenderOfDoom2415d ago

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

JunonZanon415d ago (Edited 415d ago )

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

LikAChicken414d 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.

DivineHand125414d 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.
