Crysis: Unbelievable Custom Map

GX writes "Crysis was thankfully blessed with an editor that allowed gamers to create their own mods, assets, and levels. I remember visiting a Crysis modification site, and taking a look at a modification that would drop a nuke and deplete everything in it's path for a good few miles. Today I came across another modification. This time it's a custom level built for Crysis, and boy am I beyond belief. If you think you've put hard work into a modification then maybe you should take a look at the following pictures. This medieval level is known as Niveus, and the artist who created this stunning level is Andrew "androkles" Hasko. The level is currently reported to run at 5fps on his machine. I'm right now speechless after taking a look at the pictures. Take a look at them after the jump. Video included!"

Absolutely incredible. DLing this as soon as I get home.

INehalemEXI5713d ago (Edited 5712d ago )

Its not ready for prime time yet it runs at 5 FPS. I can't find any download either. Amazing though.

He should get a mod team together and make a total conversion where you play as some van helsing type bad as$.

Alexander Roy5713d ago

I came.

Sorry, but this is f'cking amazing. This looks better than several big budget games today. Some new models, a tweak here, a tweak there, throw in some voice acting, add some lore and you could have the an incredible (looking at least) fantasy game right there.
Here is hoping that a lot of developers use that engine or a modded version of it for their next games.
It's unbelievable how talented some people are...

Liquid Dust5713d ago

Very, Very impressive. That would be just a massive map to play in, whoever this guy is he needs to be hired STAT! Make me some killer games Androkles!

I wish i could afford a computer that could run crysis...

Here's to hoping that there will be user created content allowed on the PS3 version of the game next year

Baka-akaB5713d ago

Seriously the engine need to get licensed asap ... in the hand of better fps devs (no offense but while grandiose on the technical side , their gameplay and the interest of their game isnt really great) or even mmo and rpgs , it would look marvelous

sixaxis5713d ago

Are we able to do something like this in Far Cry 2?

No one cares. The whole can it run Crysis is old, dead and stupid. It's also irrelevant, considering only less than one percent of pc owners, own a high-end PC. Second, I believe Crysis wasn't even optimized properly.

TheColbertinator375d ago

Crysis blew my mind back then and still kinda does.

bunt-custardly375d ago

Let's hope the modders can get the other Crysis games working in VR as they use the same Cryengine.

Bioshock still looks fantastic, one of my all time favorites.

Yui_Suzumiya446d ago

Beyond: Two Souls on PS3 can compete with modern day graphics.

SonyStyled446d ago (Edited 446d ago )

Same as Killzone 2 and 3, uncharted 2 and 3, Infamous 2, Heavy Rain, Resistance 3

jasonismoney446d ago

I wish this was entirely true, but you might want to load up Killzone 2 and Resistance 3 again.

SonyStyled446d ago

@jason I watched some gameplay videos of KZ2 and R3 on my full screen. They are on par or succeed graphically to the first person shooters mentioned in the article that also launched on the seventh generation of consoles. Try the same and see what you think

cthulhucultist446d ago

Killzone 3 was super impressive! I could not believe the graphics back then as I was regularly pausing the game to stand in awe looking at the surroundings! Resistance however did not impress me that much. Heavy rain is also another amazing graphically speaking game. It almost felt next gen

Fist4achin446d ago

I always thought the first 3 Gears of War games looked great and still hold up for today.

SonyStyled446d ago

They did for their day. I recently played gears judgement with on the 360 and the draw distance was so blurry. The characters up close look great though

JEECE446d ago

Far Cry 2 was awesome. In addition to having demonstrably better physics and AI than later games in the series, it had a lot of design decisions that, criticized at the time, have since been praised in games like BOTW and Dark Souls.

iNcRiMiNaTi446d ago

It might not be super amazing by today's standard but I thought Mgs3 looked really good

JEECE446d ago

In terms of art style it still holds up.

Can It Run Crysis? The Only Steam Deck Question That Matters

Digital Foundry: "When Alex Battaglia got his hands on a Steam Deck, this was inevitable, right? So can the Steam Deck really run Crysis? And if so, what type of optimised settings produce the best performance? What's the best balance of features and battery life... and what about 60fps?"
