Fantasy Maps Made in CryEngine Are Eye-Popping
Imagine a new Elder Scrolls series looking like this.
The sort of graphics possible with CryEngine 2 is stunning. While we've all seen what can be done with it from Crytek's games, but what about in the hands of a fantasy artist?
This is what's been done by "MadMaximus83" as he shows his work on his DeviantArt page.
From the artist's description:
Greetings,
i'd like to show you the first screenshots of my upcoming realtime fantasy game environment project (yeah... what a nice word... ^^). I used "CryEngine 2" to realize this fantasy scenario and hope to finish it very soon.
The fantasy scene i created is just for portfolio purpose and there won't be a deathmatch map or something like that. This thing is not a mod, although the fps would be adequate for use in a video game.
On my old "Intel Quadcore 6600" (using a "Ati Radeon HD 4870" graphic card) the map runs fine (System -> Win7 64 bit with high graphic specs ingame). The fps are between 13 and 26 frames. They would be even better if i spent more time on optimization, but since this project is just for visual demonstration i focussed more on design than on performance.
All models have been created by me, except some of the original crysis plants & rocks and two small tree model packs, the "European Nature Set" by Michael Betke and the "Pine Tree Pack" by "Mr.Guybrush II" and "Orange_Duck". I used 3D Studio Max, ZBrush and Photoshop for the models (and some other little tools) and the Sandbox2 editor (respectively the Crysis SDK) for the map itself.
I will upload more screenshots and an ingame trailer within a few weeks. I will also post more information when it's done.
Hope you'll like the first screens.

Very nice!
its too bright
Wow, these could be slightly shopped photographs. Except for some of the lame textures they used, and the visibly non-spherical domes there is not a lot to improve here. I suddenly want to play an RPG in this setting.
breathtaking whoa! good job good job! i'd like to see a final fantasy game (not online please) with the capabilities of cryenginge.
...of course on PC.
All you guys have to do is look around on ModDB to see the true power of the CryEngine 2. I'd even go as far to say that some of the work on there is even more amazing than this (And then, also, those are more than just environments, they're being shaped into games).
Mount and Blade with the CryEngine would be pure sex.
but does it run cry... oh nevermind.
DROOL, they need to remake all the elder scroll games with this.
Good to see new up and comming artists with fantasy in mind :].
I hope the next gen of games starts focusing abit more on gameplay, but this is some sexy eyecandy none the less.
Wwwwwwwow.
Could be the next Bethesduh game.
wow, imo, looks better than anything developers have made so far in any fantasy based games. HIRE these guys!
sort out the way we view pictures toms. this system is really retarded. One click full Res picture in new tab!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That would be great engine for new elder scrolls game!
Mount and Blade with the CryEngine would be pure sex.
I find this a bit disturbing. Though, this would still probably be better than 2 girls 1 cup. lol
Im surprised more games didn't make use of the origonal cry engine
Looks like screenshots had some sharpen filter applied.
Impressive, if games came out that looked this good but I had to run DX 11 to have it I could see myself going for a new video card.
Move over cursed consoles
Fascinating, looks really good.

now put this on consoles and ruin the whole thing
On my "Old Intel Quadcore Q6600"??? Come on now! That's what I run!
It looks really good, but the grain on the textures might need to be toned down a bit, or at least varied a tad more. That would make them look much better.
In all, the imagery is fantastic and I would love to play a game with environments such as these.

TRUE common toms do it right if i want to see a pic i lost the contact with the text .... plain retarded
hope when Crysis 2 comes out people continue the greatness
I dont know about you guys but I seriously do want to see Elder Scrolls looking like that! I wasnt able to finish Oblivion but I started again last week or so.. so fun

On my "Old Intel Quadcore Q6600"??? Come on now! That's what I run!
