New Eorzea Map Using CryEngine Will Blow You Away Visually

GB: "The beauty of PC gaming is mods. There are no two ways about it. And if ever there was a list of the most visually impressive mods, then Crytek's Crysis will definitely deserve a mention. Using the power of CryDev, CryEngine and the amazing Eorzea map for Crysis, players can create something special that was only possible in Hollywood movies."

Thats the power of PC gaming for you, but more than that I think its the freedom that PC games give talented modders an opportunity to develop these fantastic mods.

I literally drooled when I first saw these screens.

I just wish the next-gen consoles will be more open ended as far as mods go.

Just imagine a custom level using Uncharted 3 modding tools... 0_0

I want to drink that water!!!

Max Power5390d ago (Edited 5390d ago )

People still get blown away by things like this?

EDIT: What I mean is, are people still surprised enough to be "blown away?"

Chug5390d ago

Hmm...I'm still in my chair so I must not have been surprised enough to be blown away.

Tachyon_Nova5390d ago

Yeah I agree, but console Noobs still apparently get blown away by UC3, god knows how.

Max Power5390d ago

I can only think that they are surprised with what could be done on the aging consoles compared to the ever advancing PC specs.

jaidek5390d ago

I have been following this mod for CryENGINE 2 for a while and I am still impressed by it to this day. I really hope that now the CryENGINE 3 SDK is available to all, that we will start to see indies and other developers create games outside of the FPS genre.

this is why i need a new PC

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

DivineHand125485d 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.

PrinceOfAnger490d 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!

RaidenBlack489d ago

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

PrinceOfAnger489d ago (Edited 489d ago )

Looks really nice with VR mod too

FinalFantasyFanatic489d ago

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

Profchaos488d ago

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

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

RedDeadLB489d ago

That CPU performance thing is preventing it.

isarai488d 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

DivineHand125489d 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.

HyperMoused489d ago

Never played it, worth a try you think?

Profchaos488d ago (Edited 488d 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."

RaidenBlack502d ago

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

vTuro24501d ago

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

RaidenBlack502d ago

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

DefenderOfDoom2502d ago

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

JunonZanon502d ago (Edited 502d ago )

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

LikAChicken501d 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.

DivineHand125501d 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.
