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. This engine is one of the most optimized engines available to the market and since the SDK has been released, modders have been ‘playing’ with 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]→
The key to success is timing and precision guys. Well, that’s what my teacher used to tell me but I believe that, along those things, luck is pretty much essential. You can be the best pilot in the world, but you sure as hell need to be lucky to achieve a dive like the one of the following video. YouTube’s member ‘2cgamingvids’ has witnessed the impossible; an epic jet dive that could very well lead to a crash. That player flying the jet is either one hell of a pilot, or really lucky. Oh, and the ‘jet-drifting’ at the end of this dive was simply amazing. So, what do you think? Epic or extremely lucky?

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→
YouTube’s member ‘FRANKIEonPCin1080p’ uploaded a pretty interesting and funny video, in which he tries to replicate Nintendo’s classic Super Mario Kart in Battlefield 3. Is this faithful to the original game? Hardly. Is it cool? Hell yeah. We’ve seen various fan-made videos for Battlefield 3 and we begin to wonder if there is something that can’t be done in DICE’s game. Enjoy everyone!

If there is one mod that can make Crysis unique and refreshing, then that’s definitely CyberAlien’s Extreme Quality Mod. CyberAlien’s mod is a piece of art and modder ‘x0TuRn0x’ decided to go the extra mile and to fix some bugs of it, as well as to include it in a map. Thus, Crysis PhotorealIV EGM has come to life. This little mod/map comes with better motion blur and DoF, as well as some gameplay improvements. And damn, those sand textures look lovely! Continue reading Crysis PhotorealIV EGM gives us a taste of how Crysis would look like if it was released today→
There is something really great about all those slow-mo and timelapse videos and YouTube’s member, ‘tjmhay’, has released a lovely and relaxing slow-mo Battlefield 3 video. To make things even better, tjmhay chose Samuel Barber’s classic tune, Adagio for Strings. An excellent choice if you ask us. This is just beautiful and you should definitely give it a go! Continue reading Lovely and relaxing Battlefield 3 slow-mo video→

It’s a known fact that cheaters have been abusing Battlefield 3, and let us tell you that they are a lot of them.

Thankfully, DICE is already punishing them and Daniel Matros, DICE’s Community Manager, revealed that DICE will eventually give out accurate numbers about this whole thing.
