The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
It's a shame this just appears to be someone fooling around and isn't an attempt at a full conversion or anything. Not that I'd expect something like that to ever get finished.

Seeing as how the series how been revitalized this year, a full project would likely get a C&D the second an announcement was made.
Wow. That looks great. Wonder if it would be at all worth them to license the engine for their game. Of course converting an FPS engine into an adventure game is a challenge in itself.
I just wish CryEngine2 (well now CryEngine3) would be used by somebody.
It's being used by tons of people, it's just mostly european devs IIRC
Isn't Aion on a version of the Crytech engine?
Sporky: I think they chose those locals because of the contrast, the green/red and the blue orange are good ways to show off lightning/artistic translation into 3D.
Otherwise I haven't played the games, so...nostalgic for the person mapping? Either way it's impressive.

Seriously?
I'd love to learn what other games use the CryEngine. Because when I re-built my computer with fancy parts to let me run fancy newfangled games, I was very saddened that Crysis was the only game that really looked astonishingly amazing. Bioshock, Fallout 3, and other Xbox 360 ports disappointed me with their low-resolution, low-grade graphics.

Damn, so is this different from the 2.5D Monkey Island 2 render test we saw a few months ago, or this just an extrapolation from that?
EDIT: Which was this...
The info on the youtube page is the same guy saying the next step is to maybe get it working in CryEngine2/3. So this is an extension of that with better graphics in an actual game engine.

According to Wikipedia, these are all the games using CryEngine 2
Crysis
Crysis Warhead
Entropia Universe
Blue Mars
New MMORPG - XMLGames
Forged by Chaos
Lightspire: Fortunes Web
Merchants of Brooklyn
The Day
Vigilance (Military Training Game)
Outside of Crysis and Crysis Warhead, the only one of those that I've ever heard about is Merchants of Brooklyn and that's only because I pay attention to everything that gets released on Steam.
Bioshock, Fallout 3, and other Xbox 360 ports disappointed me with their low-resolution, low-grade graphics.
Baby-poop brown for the shittiest statement ever.
When I get home I'll make some screencaps comparing Crysis to Fallout 3 and Bioshock.
And then I'll win this argument.
Because Fallout 3 and Bioshock both have graphics horribly watered down for the low-powered console systems. Bioshock suffers from this less. Fallout 3, though, is just terrible.
Edit: I mean, it's pretty obvious and clear that those two games were made for the Xbox 360. The graphics are tuned for that system, which is incredibly low-powered compared to even the entry-level PCs of today. Crysis, on the other hand, was a game clearly crafted for PCs in mind, and it's graphics are unmatched. I wish more PCs would embrace the path of over-the-top, astonishingly beautiful graphics instead of pandering to the console world's diminished graphics potential.

Then compare it to non-Crysis PC exclusive games and you'll realize that the console ports are the best things visually asides from Crysis. (Seriously look at D3's 3d models).

D3 meaning.. Diablo three? The top-down action RPG? I haven't had a chance to run that yet, seeing as how it isn't out yet.
And in general RTS games are a different animal alltogether.
I can't think of a PC-exclusive shooter from the last 2 years off the top of my head that isn't Crysis. Anyone wanna help me out?

And see, herein lies your problem. If a developer is going to create a shooter, and they are a developer who has devkits for the 360 and PS3, they are going to make said shooter for those systems, on top of the PC, of course.
So really, the reason your wish is just that is simple: Money.
Why limit their release to simply PC gaming, especially in a time when console gaming is still generally preferred over PC gaming, if they have the capability of multiplatform? It just doesn't make any business sense.
I just wanted to pop in and say that this is the most awesome thing ever and Telltale should feel really bad for making every game look the same instead of making their new Monkey Island stuff look like this.
You shut your mouth. You shut your filthy mouth! I do NOT need to play that again!
And I am still shocked at the lack of games in CryEngine. The engine is awesome and stupid easy to create levels for. With the demo of their next engine that simultaneously builds for PC, 360 and PS3, I am going to be shocked if it doesn't take off!

And look at all the colors. A shame these engines get wasted emulating dirts and metals.

GOD WHY IS EVERYTHING SO BROWN
Motherfucking fuck the fucking god damn world.
I didn't even realize how stylized you could make it look.
I think that's what we call an "Oh snap!" moment.
This must have taken a hell of a lot of time to put together, he really did all that just for the purposes of this video?
And not any of these:

Funny thing is, Crysis runs better on my rig (that has enough juice for CryEngine) than some less advanced engines do.
That's not really an 'engine' thing, that's more a 'modeling and design' thing.
It's very well done, but it doesn't really have much to do with the engine.
Isn't Aion on a version of the Crytech engine?
Sporky: I think they chose those locals because of the contrast, the green/red and the blue orange are good ways to show off lightning/artistic translation into 3D.
Otherwise I haven't played the games, so...nostalgic for the person mapping? Either way it's impressive.
Which is foolish, since the Crytech engine is wonderful at lighting
Seriously?

Why aren't there DS ports of the MI games? They look even more beautiful at that size.

I think I fixed it for you. I hope.
Impressive though.

See, here's the thing:

Now do Deus Ex.

I have work to do

This is exactly why I never uninstall it.
I'll just drop this over here
