Duke Nukem 3D comes to CryEngine 3 with the Nuked Crysis Mod

Now that’s what we’re talking about. Modder Anzer has just released the first screenshots of his upcoming mod for Crysis 2, Nuked Crysis. What is Nuked Crysis you ask? Well, it’s a re-imagining of Duke Nukem 3D in CryEngine 3, with Crysis 2’s assets. Anzer released some comparison shots and we have to say that Nuked Crysis is true to Duke Nukem 3D’s spirit. Anzer’s goal is to at least finish the first map (and maybe the next two as this re-mapping procedure needs a lot of time). This is simply amazing and we can’t wait to get our hands on it. No ETA has been announced as of yet, so stay tuned for more news about this promising mod!
