Okay, now that was unexpected. Mapper Chrome235 has revealed a screenshot that showcases how Mordor and LOTR would look like in CryEngine 3. This is basically an artwork – or a wallpaper – that borrows some assets from the movies. In other words, this is not a custom map. Still, it’s pretty amazing and makes us wish for a LOTR game, powered by Crytek’s engine. Alongside this shot, we bring you some new images from modders/mappers Tiesto, TheMagnumman357, chicken, rGOt, and ReVan1199. Enjoy! Continue reading Weekly CryEngine 3 Gallery [January 22nd – 28th]; LOTR’s Mordor comes to CryEngine 3→

Ah, the good old Crysis. Such an amazing game and although its SDK was released almost immediately, we haven’t gotten any noteworthy total conversion. There were some in the works that have been cancelled, while others have moved on to Crysis 2. So it’s natural to get excited with the work of modder ‘mrdavid’, the man behind Dark Energy. Continue reading Dark Energy is a great looking sci-fi third person shooter with RPG elements mod for Crysis→
Okay, I’m totally amazed by Crysis 2’s modder ‘Chrome235’ work. Chrome235 is developing a mod for Crysis 2 called Arthias. Arthias is a Sci-Fi adventure which will tell a deep, complex, and comes with gorgeous graphics. Seriously, the amount of detail is astonishing and I can’t believe that this mod is developed by one and only man. The work that has been put on it is incredible and you’ll find bellow some screenshots and videos from it. Seriously Crytek, just hire this fella. Just…wow. Continue reading Crysis 2 Mod Arthias pushes CryEngine 3 to its limits and offers jaw-dropping visuals→
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! Continue reading Duke Nukem 3D comes to CryEngine 3 with the Nuked Crysis Mod→
