Trees and water seem to be the only real differences. The main advantage the Crysis engine would have would be for the look of the characters.
Also Crysis was a pretty good game.
"Does Crysis suck so much that they have to Port other, better games to the engine to make up for it's mediocrity?"
No, it's called modding. Unreal Tournament games have had mods ever since the first one came out. Games with an editor and SDK usually have mods coming out for them, and yes a lot of times other games get their own little mods in the new engine.
Usually old favorite maps get remade and things like that, but sometimes (take Doom 3 for example) older games get re-imagined. Doom 3 had some remakes of old Doom games, and granted now it's in 3D but its the same concept.
The engine is there to do whatever you want with it and why not remake a kick ass game with a nice facelift?
I don't see a difference.
@007: Me neither.
Oblivion was gorgeous. That game was what made me buy a 360 (that and the impending release of Halo 3).
My PC when it had a Nvidia 6600 was capable of playing Crysis at the lowest settings. It didn't look good but it ran smooth.
I personally won't play the game, I have enough Far Cry in my system to say, "No thanks!".
But as with all PC games, you gotta check your specs before purchasing one. Blaming Crysis on you friends misjudgment is plain stupid. I don't see how the game is mediocre because of that.
Now onto the Oblivion thing... It would be nice if the player can chop wood, or have breakable environments like Crysis. A stray fireball burning down a tree or cutting it down would be a awesome adaptation of the engine.
Wait, you haven't even played Crysis, yet you think it's crap?
Fantastic way to judge things. I had no trouble playing through the game, and I thought it was well done. Ending was kinda cliffhangery though
I've played crysis myself and I think that other than the graphics there isn't anything special there. It's all just eye candy to me.
@Nsomnia: I can't really play it, as my PC isn't up to snuff. Plus, I don't really see it being a game I'd like, but from what I've read about it, the game is very generic, and almost essentially the same as Far Cry. I didn't say it was crap, I said it was Mediocre. That's not the same as Crap, it's average, kind of like a frozen waffle.
The trees were the big thing I noticed.
Those were some nice trees.
I've played a lot of Crysis. I didn't care for Far Cry at all, but I loved Crysis. It's one of my favorite FPSs. It sets so many standards for singleplayer FPSs(much like BioShock and HL2:Episode 2).
It's not for everyone though, like most games.
I loved Farcry. It was tons of fun.
Crysis, was pretty much a nice looking Farcry with aliens. The pacing didnt change much throughout the whole game. It was like "Group of North Koreans. Another group. Vehicle filled with North Koreans. Now theres aliens. Fin"
It was entertaining, it just wasn't anything special.
But no doubt Cryengine2 is has some of the most stunning looking graphics out to date.
