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.

INehalemEXI6138d ago (Edited 6138d 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 Roy6138d 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 Dust6138d 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-akaB6138d 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

sixaxis6138d ago

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

Playing it right now looks amazing! :D
so much fun, i hope they make a vr mod for crysis 2 / 3 too!

DivineHand125143d ago

This is amazing. This is the direction VR should go in to boost adoption. Since I have beaten every Crysis except 1, this is now a good excuse to correct that problem.

Crytek Wanted Crysis To Be "Future-Proof"

According to Crytek CEO Cervat Yerli, "I want[ed] to make sure Crysis does not age, that [it] is future proofed, meaning that if I played it three years from now, it should look better than today." Yerli and the team designed Crysis' highest graphical settings for the PC hardware of 2010 and beyond.

While Crytek has officially announced Crysis 4 is in development, nothing new has surfaced. For now, gamers' only way to scratch that itch is to play the Crysis Remastered Trilogy available on PC and consoles.

OG 2007 Crysis (not the remastered weirdo), is & will forever be a legend amongst the PC community.

PrinceOfAnger148d ago

This video will always be impressive to me, even for years to come. Some things here are better than games we have today, OG crysis is the best version!

OG Crysis physics, man ... amazing! Thanks for the reminder!

PrinceOfAnger147d ago (Edited 147d ago )

Looks really nice with VR mod too

FinalFantasyFanatic147d ago

I'm still shocked that it looks as good as it does today, puts some modern games to shame.

Profchaos146d ago

I thought the remaster was fine tbh some rough edges at launch but after some patches it's decent

I mean the lighting and physics still hold up extremely well. I still revisit it from time to time.

RedDeadLB147d ago

That CPU performance thing is preventing it.

isarai146d ago

Yeah unfortunately Crystek's decision to bet on the linear progression of clock speed in CPUs was derailed by the unforseen shift towards multicore CPUs. It just wasn't built with that in mind because that wasn't even in the conversation at the moment

DivineHand125147d ago

I remember when I tried to play Crysis with my Intel Pentium Dual core E2200 @2.2GHz , 4GB ram and GeForce 9400gt. I was a kid back then and that was the best I could do. I would get about 15 to 20 fps. When I over clocked the CPU to 2.8GHz I would get about 40fps. The experience wasn't good at all and it was the only PC game I could not run back then unless and put the settings on low. At that point the game went from cutting edge graphics to PS2 graphics. To this day I haven't completed the OG Crysis. I was able to complete Crysis 2 and 3 after building a new PC when I got my first job.

HyperMoused147d ago

Never played it, worth a try you think?

Profchaos146d ago (Edited 146d ago )

Worth a try just because it's the only game that lets you pick up a turtle on the beach and throw it at enemy soldiers that should have been a back of the box feature.

But nah seriously unless you're nostalgic for it I'm not sure if it will hold up

Crytek went so overboard on the Crysis tech and sent devs to photograph leaves in Haiti

"The shader work that came out of this was mind-blowing at times."

RaidenBlack160d ago

Amazing, often misunderstood
The dumb AI was deliberate, so that the players can explore and experiment with the world and all the features.

vTuro24159d ago

It really is. Most people only remember it for its graphics but the gameplay was equally amazing.

RaidenBlack160d ago

Hope they try to pour nearly same amount of dedication to the new Crysis 4

DefenderOfDoom2160d ago

Well worth the extra work ! I enjoyed all 3 Crisis games and would also love a new one .

JunonZanon160d ago (Edited 160d ago )

Still wish game development was overall this passionate and minutious about their projects. Obviously, there are still some great studios as exceptions.

LikAChicken159d ago

I’ll never forget Far Cry 2 and the amount of details they packed in.

Yea there were some issues with the gameplay loop and the sickness aspect but you could tell they really tried to nail details.

DivineHand125159d ago

I haven't beaten the first Crysis but I did play Crysis 2 and Crysis 3. I know some PC players were annoyed by the last 2 games being developed with consoles in mind but I believe it was an improvement. I had a great time with Crysis 3 to the point where I believe it was too short.
