So I get home from rehearsal today, and I'm mauled by this pretty looking video:

Which got me thinking; Does Crysis suck so much that they have to Port other, better games to the engine to make up for it's mediocrity? I haven't touched the game myself, but my one friend that did buy it, that thought he could run it, can't. He basically just gets a black screen when the game actually loads up, so it was really just an embarrassing waste of fifty dollars for him.
I mean, I
GUESS Oblivion looked pretty shitty, and it really needed the graphical face lift that only the Crysis engine could supply. But really? No. Stop it, we do that outside.

Also Crysis was a pretty good game.
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 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.
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
Those were some nice trees.
It's not for everyone though, like most games.
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.
