Ah, what a great week for CryEngine 3 fans.

Below you can find a variety of themes, from cold mountains to lush forests and from frogs to dragons. Enjoy! Continue reading Weekly CryEngine 3 Gallery [September 2nd – 8th]→
Talented modder MaLDo has released a new set of comparison screenshots between Crysis 2’s Official HD textures and the ones from his upcoming HD Texture Pack. As you can see below, MaLDo’s textures blow Crytek’s HD ones out of the water and provide a much richer, and crisper look to Crysis 2. Crytek seems to have learned its lesson as Crysis 3 features textures of higher quality (than those of Crysis 2), but we can’t wait to see whether there is any room for improvements in that upcoming game and what will it look like with MaLDo’s touch. MaLDo has also expressed his disappointment over various PC gamers and their aggresive comments on his blog, so be sure to read what he had to say. Truth be told, MaLDo is right and PC gamers/fanboys should be patient and grateful that there are modders, willing to go the extra mile to improve a game’s visuals. Enjoy the following comparison shots! Continue reading MaLDo puts Crytek to shame – New Comparison Between Crysis 2 Modded & Vanilla→
Today we bring you new shots (and videos) from the works of Crysis 2 modders ordnas666, EliteGhost, The_Distiller, ReVan1199, iSqueezee, USSR_GRAND, wjmoosting, d1ea, blackhorizon, antonadamse and TheMagnumman357. The highlight of this week is – again – The_Distiller’s Balrog creature. To put it simply – CryEngine 3’s Balrog is almost the same with the one of the LOTR movie. We also should note that the STALKER-like video is NOT from a new STALKER or Clear Sky game. This is a CryEngine 3 Pripyat map from blackhorizon and nothing more. Enjoy!

We were a bit disappointed this week by CryEngine 3’s community, as there weren’t a lot of screenshots from the works of the on-going projects. Truth be told, it’s August and some of the modders are on vacations, but still… we were expecting for something more. Fortunately though, we have a number of videos and teaser trailers from some CryEngine 3 projects. Therefore, enjoy the screenshots from modders mystichobo, themodman101, Puppy, scumm, Arthurwalter and JohnBart, as well as the videos from CrydaVinci, TheDistiller, jaalt0, Fafaxounette, wjmoosting and KingBadger3d.

Titanic and CryEngine 3 fans, get ready for a treat. ORM Entertainment has released a new trailer for its CryEngine 3 powered Titanic total conversion, Titanic: Lost In The Darkness. This trailer is basically a tour of some of the first class areas, such as the Grand Staircases, Reception Rooms, A la Carte Restaurant, Cafe Parisien, and elsewhere. We should note that this video was made on lower (medium) graphic settings, and that the project is still a WIP (Work In Progress). Enjoy! Continue reading Titanic: Lost In The Darkness – First Class Tour – New Trailer→
Today we are bringing you new screenshots from the works of nero_angelo, EliteGhost, chicken, Tiesto, ReVan1199, Synce and d1ea. In addition, we included two videos from CrydaVinci and KingBadger. The highlight of this week is undoubtedly KingBadger’s level. KingBadger created a massive, open-world environment that looks gorgeous and gives us an idea of what a ‘true’ sandbox game would look like in CryEngine 3. Enjoy!

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! Continue reading Crysis 2 Machinima – The Extinction Episode #1→
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!

CryEngine 3 has a lot of potential. Yes, we’ve said that a lot of times but each and every time we see a Crysis 2 modded screenshot, we feel ecstatic. MaLDo has recently released some new screenshots from his upcoming Texture Pack. This Pack is almost complete and as usual, we’ll inform you about it the moment it gets out. Below you will find some comparison shots between Crysis 2 DX11 (left) and Crysis 2 modded (right). Enjoy and feel free to drool all over these images!

Today we bring you new screenshots from the works of modders walid-payne, ZeroNight, iSqueezee, ReVan1199, EliteGhost, Vanity Assassian, Tiesto, maximus22, and CrydaVinci. The highlight of this week though is the first image, a scene that was created by Thiago Klafke who is an environment artist in Blizzard. It’s great to see artists from other studios experimenting with CryEngine 3 and we hope that their companies will actually use it in a future game. In addition, we should note the two videos that are featured in this week gallery. CrydaVinci created an amazing CG scene that is powered by CryEngine 3, while maximus22 was inspired by Red Dead Redemption and created a ‘Wild Wild West’ level. Enjoy!
