Louis ‘shados’ Thomann has created an interesting Crysis 2 machinima movie, called The Extinction. This machinima is based on Crysis 2 and tells a different story, in which the US army didn’t win the war against the alien invasion. According to Louis, The Extinction is the first episode of an incredible Post-Apocalyptic Series, that takes places after the Crysis 2 storyline, into a devasted world. Louis had also created – back in April – another gorgeous C2 machinima movie called Woods. Therefore, we decided to include both of his movies below. Enjoy!

Crytek’s nanosuit FPS appeared on the PC in 2007.

Today we bring you new shots from modders the_grim, Puppy, Synce, airage, hostilis, TheChan, axeldev, sunnlok, walid-payne and Thomy. Our highlight this week is Puppy’s tropical level. In all honesty, CryEngine 3 has achieved photorealism with this tropical shot from Puppy and we can’t wait till we get our games looking like that. What’s really amazing here is that Puppy used all materials that are currently available in CryEngine 3’s SDK. No custom textures, no new high resolution assets. Everything you see was available when the SDK got released, meaning that this IQ could be achieved months ago. You may remember a similar shot that was featured in an earlier CryEngine 3 gallery but this is the final version of Puppy’s level. We’ve also included some CryEngine 2 shots from the work of blackhorizon (the four last ones), as well as a video from wjmoosting’s level. Enjoy the images after the jump!
