CryEngine 3 is a really amazing engine and as we’ve said and before, we are shocked that most studios are not taking advantage of it.

So, today we bring you some new screenshots from the works of USSR_GRAND, neo83_gr, rGOt, darkchazz, chicken, iSqueezee, bello2185, ShadosProd, Lavizh, and [P.W.N]UltraNOOB. Enjoy and let’s hope that some developers will license this engine and put it to good use! Continue reading Weekly CryEngine 3 Gallery [January 8th – 14th]→
Remember those mind-blowing carage shots of a Crysis 2 mod that were featured in one of our Weekly CryEngine 3 Galleries? No? Shame on you. Modder Tiesto is developing one of the best SP total conversions of Crysis 2 and has released its beta version. To put it simple; this is the best total conversion of Crysis 2. Hell, it even puts Crysis 2 itself to shame. According to the modder, this is only a beta, thus it does not contain many missions. In fact, the beta features only the Continuum map (all the other maps will be in the final release). Continue reading Crysis 2 SP Continuum Mod Beta Released; Behold the power of CryEngine 3→

There is no denying that Crysis’ vanilla lighting looks a bit dated nowadays. And although you can tweak the SSAO and bring to the table some amazing results, Crytek’s member ‘Wulfen’ uploaded a video that shows off his new lighting system and the amazing combination of it with Cry-Styves’ Shaders. This combo seems quite demanding – if we can judge by the footage that is choppy, though we don’t know the user’s test system – but it surely looks sexy. This lighting/shader combo boosts Crysis visuals to a whole new level, so be sure to check this out!
