Nice, saw this on N4G.com but it was crap quality. :/

Why do I suddenly feel like some Hovis?

Spectacular, especially when they pan over the city. This would definetly make me pick up the game again, shame its just a tech demo

Peckish?

Noob question here... If they've managed to get the game running on that engine, does it mean only the visuals would be in the game? No NPC's etc?

Tom|Nbk · 16 Apr 2008 at 03:35

They could import the models just fine I'd guess.

The way he has done it is import the Oblivion models in to 3dMax and then into the sandbox editor. It seems Crytek were not happy that he had done it and asked him not to release the mod as It's obviously ripping off Bethesda.

I presume the person has just created a very Oblivion looking world inside the CryEngine Editor.

Ohhhhhh right I understand now, cheers.

Nope, see above. He just ripped the models out of Oblivion imported into 3dsmax and then imported from there into the Cry engine 2 Sandbox

There is one crescendo in the soundtrack, which comes out of nowhere! Then it goes back to quiet... Kinda weird!

Looks wicked. I wonder how hard it would be to put oblivion ( the whole thing ) into the cryengine, and make it playable...

Nice, really is a fantastic engine.

Shame it makes my system do one of two things though.

A.) Curl up in a ball and whimper in the corner.
B.) Make an Antec900 shaped hole in the wall and run off down the street crying.

I'd love to play Crysis, I just don't feel that a game, no matter how good it is, warrants a £500 (at least) investment.

Not being a little cynical perhaps? Cant remember your rig details from other posts... but im running it more than happily on an 8800GT, which these days is just a shade over the ton mark. Surely you can splash out?

the gamebryo engine or what ever they used in oblivion is so very poor

i hope they are using something else for fallout

oblivion would be near perfect if they used a better engine in the first place

this was done to stalker as well...

Would love to see them do it to Morrowind, if at all possible.

After the first few hours, Crysis isn't worth the £25 investment.

Do you have a link. Stalker is nice looking game IMO.
