Crysis revival is a new mod for Crysis 2. This mod is made by rGOt and is basically a tribute to the environments of the first Crysis. Jungle returns, as well as all those breakable trees. This is how Crysis PC would somehow look like if it was ported to CryEngine 3 so make sure to at least watch the following videos. We should also note that the talented team behind BlackFire has helped the modder with his TOD, so kudos to them to.

When we heard that EA’s and Crytek’s critically acclaimed title was removed from Valve’s distribution service, we wondered whether that was due to the launch EA’s own distribution service, Origin.

Fast forward some months and here we are today with most of those issues addressed/fixed. Continue reading Crysis 2 – The Way It Was Meant To Be… Partially→
