Anyone as Blade Runner-obsessed as me (or even less so, for that matter) will recognize the iconic surroundings in the rendering above, not to mention desperately wishing it was a game we could actually play. If you peek in the gallery, you'll also see familiar scenes from Alien and I Am Legend. These jaw-dropping re-creations were made using the Sandbox 2 World Editor. The Blade Runner one actually won first place in a contest over at Game Artist forums. You can go there to see even more details of what this winning team worked on (go and drool if you're a huge Blade Runner fan).
Anyone other than me play the old Westwood Studios Blade Runner game way back in 1997? I loved being able to interactin that world, but getting a look at this stuff makes me fantasize about playing the same game in gorgeous HD graphics ... just the thought makes me kind of trembly (in the good way).

I loved the game... oh man it's late and I'm going to bed.
These renders are pretty badass!
That world needs to be created in a new game to explore... the visuals were rich.
I've, seen things, you people wouldnt believe...
Didn't the game use some combo of prerendered backgrounds, sprites and voxels? The posted pic makes me elated and depressed at the same time.
Right-click, wallpaper. Thank you Colette!
One sick day last year I played through the entire thing
What an experience
seriously
such a great game
CryEngine 3 may or may not = Headsplode.
Music were made by gods disguised as humans. I need to contact these cryengine 2 artists, didn't think anyone in todays age would still revive this masterpiece in this way.
I... need to be alone...
