Holy cucumbers!!

Pre-rendered backgrounds are, as of this moment, officially obsolete.

Not really. If you have an use for them, you can just render out your background as an FMV (ala REmake) and then dump all the poly power into the player character that's superimposed over the background.

An interesting take though would be that if CryEngine 3 is easy to use like this, you can use it to make your backgrounds and then use it to render the character over the prerendered background.

If this is the next jump in gaming then I'm done. I don't want things to be this realistic.

Killing people in Skyrim is tough.

This level of realism would make it horrible. I want to try it.

You know... Something that would be worth a fucken shit load of money to the first person to do it would be the company that undertakes and completes the task of rendering the entire world - earth in this level of quality.

Literally like a virtual reality. A company like Google could do it. Instead of paying thousands of dollars to actually go places you could explore Crysis Earth. They should just start with a city or a building and just grow it and grow it... Computers are capable enough to render it, they just need to ensure that the models are future proofed so that the work doesn't need to be done again.

It needs to be done! And I mean completely! Imagine how absurdly crazy even just a single city being released rendered exactly as it is? Like Tokyo, even if it was empty, if it could have some sort of destruction I would get pleasure out of just exploring every nook and cranny.

Why would you say that? I love this shit! Art style, "better than real" looking beautiful.

Fantasy make believe locations.

Sci-fi.

Doing things in realistic environments that just couldn't normally be done!

There are still people coming up with stuff to keep those 2d backgrounds alive, from Siggraph Asia, cool stuff : Rendering Synthetic Objects into Legacy Photographs

Would be awesome to see another Resident Evil with actual high resolution photographs for each stage as seen in that video. Put the majority of the pixel allotment on the main character model, enemies and other rendered assets.

I'd say the implications goes both ways. You've got the ability to make extremely realistic environments but you also have the ability to leverage that technology to create even more believable fantasy worlds.

 

[cbox]

Woah, never actually played it, but I do remember frequently seeing that game box in my local computer stores back then.

What kind of game is it ? That box always gave me the impression it was in the same genre as Myst or Riven.

Almost identical, though you could interact with humans, (which looked damn freaky and suddenly appeared on the screen from time to time, making me jump on occasion )

 

[Doctor_20]

Reminds me of a good ole puzzle adventure. Which they need more of!!

 

[Kagari]

Oh man reminds me of,

Looks OUTSTANDING.

I love this game. I still have this game.

I can speed run it, I've played it so much lol

It still runs on Windows 7, interestingly enough.

Someone recorded the entire thing on youtube if you want to check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYLjkR4vCmo&feature=related

Vlad in the boiler room! That music brings back some warm memories.

So much greatness *_* I should replay it again soon.

 

[SketchTheArtist]

Is it possible next gen will achieve this?

Oh yes.

 

[les papillons sexuels]

I'd be more interested if he made a mod based on the ship from hl, or if he did the overlook hotel instead.

 

[Angry Fork]

Someone send this to Cliffy B he'll ejaculate multiple times easily.

Seriously though that's gorgeous. Is there any way to try this out ourselves?

"Render me like your French girls Jack"

Fucking lol

And fucking nextgen needs to get here NOW

Fuck, I just spill coffee all over my monitor!

 

[Tom Penny]

Wow amazing. More proof we don't need new consoles yet.

 

[Atomski]

Video makes me wish there was actually some sort of educational like game that takes you to historical places.

Wow amazing. More proof we don't need new consoles yet.

This isnt on consoles...

 

[Brofist]

Holy shit.

I hope SE's Luminous engine can look as good as this does.

Yeah I wouldn't hold my breath on that one.

 

[PumpkinPie]

Interesting that in the one room, he ducked when in front of the mirror. Makes me wonder if they don't have reflections down.

I thought it was something to do with the character model that they didn't want you to see, if you look at the shadow of the character it looks like the incredible hulk so I guess they're probably using something that would look out of place on the Titanic.

 

[Metroid-Squadron]

Yeah I wouldn't hold my breath on that one.

I would, seems more advanced than CE3 at this stage:

Nah, CryEngine 3 only supports cubemap reflections and screen space reflections. True mirrors are not supported.

There is nothing more advanced than CE 3 in this presentation except cloth simulation, which can be easily implemented via for example Havoc.

 

[-SD-]

I don't see how CE3 couldn't do cloth simulation like that via CryPhysics. It's just a case of doing it.

For example, here's a cloth physics demo of a mod from 3 years ago using CryENGINE 2.

[mentalfloss]

Now that I've seen the future, I can confidently say that I am completely satisfied with the present. Looks good, but I'll wait for a few price drops.

Thanks Crytek!

 

[amdnv]

In which case, what need is there to emulate that in a game, if your eyes do it automatically?

For your eyes to perceive motion as blurry, an object has to be moving physically.
When you play a game you're just looking at successive still frames on a stationary display, so of course your eyes don't create any motion blur, which is why it has to be drawn into the frames by the game engine.

 

[Metroid-Squadron]

There is nothing more advanced than CE 3 in this presentation except cloth simulation, which can be easily implemented via for example Havoc.

It shows better animation, proper local reflections, simulated particles (not sprites), tesselated cloth for characters. Certainly much more advanced than what we've seen in Crysis 2 DX11.

 

[mckmas8808]

This makes me excited for next gen, while still being happy with what you have now.

New pics. Yeah... looks definitely worse with the new wood color.

You could... I don't know... buy a plane ticket and explore it yourself.

 

[zoukka]

Yep, that's CryEngine with WIP assets in it allright.

 

[RadarScope1]

LOL at the life meter and radar. Is it for detecting icebergs?

 

[-SD-]

LOL at the life meter and radar. Is it for detecting icebergs?

It's the Nanosuit 2.0 HUD from Crysis 2. The player model is also from Crysis 2.

 

[Khal_B]

It's a killstreak you unlock after you push three people off the boat.

Another impressive looking waste of time.

Many games come to mind when you say that *sigh*

Are you saying this is a waste of time for the creator? In that case, screw you.

 

[MrOogieBoogie]

Another impressive looking waste of time.

What a cynical piece of shit opinion you have there. Seriously, what the fuck?

How is experimenting with any sort of technology a waste of time, especially considering these results? Even on a micro, personal level to the developer, this is one hell of a resume-builder.

Think for a second, McFly. Think!

I would love to see that, sort of like a RE-REmake. It would really free up resources for all kinds of great effects/lighting/models.

Things like this just bore me. Why not create something from scratch instead? He clearly has the talent from what I see here. This reminds me of photorealistic painting. You spend all of this time painting every detail, every nook and cranny, every shadow and in the end it just looks like a photo. This is kind of a waste of time no?

I dont know. Its just my opinion. I can see how someone can be impressed by this but it make me yawn hard.

 

[InvincibleAgent]

Environment reminds me of Eternal Darkness for some reason. I'd love to get a sequel with graphics like that...

[Mr_Zombie]

Things like this just bore me. Why not create something from scratch instead? He clearly has the talent from what I see here.

Because it's easier to recreate something that exists instead of designing a whole new thing?
If the guy just wants to experiment with the engine why should he "waste" time designing something completely from a scratch?

 

[duk]

but does it have waggle?

 

[.GqueB.]

Just explaining my original feeling towards it. It bores me. What do you want me to do? I cant force myself to be impressed by it. As I said, I can see how someone would like it though. Cool lighting and all.

 

[Rubbish King]

Titanic: Adventure Out of Time remake....do it now!

You might have just come up with the best idea ever.
