Bioshock Recreated By Crytek's UK Artist in CryEngine 3

DSOGaming writes: "Crytek’s UK Artist, Cry-ScottH, has been working on recreating some Bioshock levels in CryEngine 3. We’ve featured an early screenshot of this project in one of our weekly CryEngine 3 galleries, however the artist has released some new screenshots that surely deserve the spotlight."

Impressive.

Only wish more devs used this engine.

[Proeliator]

I think it costs many millions to license, versus Unreal, which is significantly less and thus why we see it more.

[Trenta27]

From what I have read, Unreal ends up taking part of the profits of the game after a quota has been reached. Cryengine is just a flat out fee. Just depends on how successful you think the game is going to be.

[ginsunuva]

Cryengine 3 is free, actually. If devs wish to use it for a commercial product, all they have to do is pay 20% of money made from the Cryengine 3 product to Crytek.

[Grap]

yah and the 20% is too low. i don't care. i have the other 80%. ops there is publisher money. now i am F**ked.

[shutUpAndTakeMyMoney]

Cryoshock!

[IRetrouk]

Perfect name

[QuantumWake]

Huh.. Not a bad name. ;P

Cryoshock??? Sh*t!! Hurry go trademark it. You'll get a nickle every time somebody says it.

On topic: It looks awesum!!! :O,,,,,l

[Oh_Yeah]

yesssss please, im not a fan of the over saturated cartoony look of bioshock. still like the game though

[SephirothX21]

No CryEngine 3 SDK is free which includes the c++ code of the game files but not of the editor. If a company uses sdk and sell the game, then they pay 20% of revenue to Crytek. If they want to use the full CryEngine 3 engine with level editor source code, then its about a million for the license.

[hiredhelp]

You done your homework your right btw well done.

[WeskerChildReborned]

I say next Bioshock after Infinite if their is one should use Cryengine.

[CanadianTurtle]

Well, now we know how a next gen Bioshock remake would look like. Yes, it looks that good.

[SilentNegotiator]

Yes, because its easy to make a game look 10x better when you have no limitations on hardware with your company's supercomputers vs making a game that is expected to run on consoles and the average 2007 consumer PC setup.

[HammadTheBeast]

you get an internets for realistic ideals.

[beerkeg]

He's saying that's what it could like like on next gen consoles SilentNegotiator. Everything you've just talked about has nothing to do with the comment you've replied to.

[SilentNegotiator]

He said the game looked "next-gen good" and I followed his comment up by making it clear WHY it looks that good. Don't tell me what's relevant or not, buddy.

[beerkeg]

What you said had nothing to do with what he was talking about. You just wanted to have a little rant. Don't dress it up as anything else, it wasn't relevent.

[A7XEric]

God this just makes me realize even more how lame UE3 is.

[Sony360]

UE3 is actually one of the best engines made this generation. 4 years old and is still being updated, upgraded, and used in most games today.

It's been one of the most versatile, flexible, and easy to use engines for developers for a while.

It's too bad that you, and the 9 people who agreed with you, know nothing about it other than some games being made it it.

[mynameisEvil]

4 years old? RoboBlitz was the first game to use the engine (Gears of War came out a day later) on November 6, 2006. That's nearing 6 years, not four.

But, yes, it is a good engine. However, CryEngine is still a more powerful engine.

[DigitalAnalog]

@Sony360
It may be the most flexible engine but I would hardly call it the "best". The games that actually utilizes this engine properly can be counted with my fingers.

[Letros]

Bioshock used UE2.5

[modesign]

they both look identical, the only difference is cryengine has couple more colors.

[Gorbenshore]

Great screenshots!

[danieldeath]

This is how Bioshock 2 should have looked.

[scrambles]

The big daddy looks a little bit too smooth and perfect but other than that its great!

[Sony360]

A team of developers obviously would have made much more of it, and given more attention to detail. But you can't complain if just one guy did this.

[azshorty2003]

Full remake release please

[GearSkiN]

bioshocks runs on modified UE2 not UE3, so pretty impressive for using that engine.

[Haha123]

Looks good but I'd prefer to see how it'd look on a next gen engine like ue4

[STONEY4]

CryEngine 3 is amazing.

[ninjahunter]

Eh dont get me wrong, its nice, but theres a nice charm to the hardly HD graphics of bioshock, that clunky, gritty Pixelated, grimey look just goes well with the steam punk setup. Cryengine just makes it look too.... clean.

[zero_cool]

Not too shabby!

Cheers Gamers & Happy Gaming!
