Delta Sector Mod Breathes Life Into Far Cry

PC News from N4G | Far Cry

PC - Far Cry - Delta Sector Mod Breathes Life Into Far Cry

With all the hue and cry over Crysis and all of us looking to October for Far Cry 2, it seems like the original has been all but forgotten except for a handful of people who still struggle to create content for it. In a spectacular show of proving how CryENGINE can hold its own against its newest competitors, the good folks at the Delta Sector mod have finally managed to release their little baby into the wild, complete with lush vegetation, falling snow and brilliant lightning.

Far Cry 2 dev takes swipe at competition - Island games just "cashing in" on Far Cry

PC News from N4G | Far Cry

PC - Far Cry - Far Cry 2 dev takes swipe at competition - Island games just "cashing in" on Far Cry

Don't let the crystal clear water and golden sands fool you: as far as the developer of Far Cry 2 is concerned, videogame tropical islands have become the imaginative equivalent of two weeks at Butlins.

With the sequel to Crytek's memorable PC shooter ditching the shores of paradise in favour of the treacherous beauty of Africa, creative director Clint Hocking believes anyone making a game on a tropical island now is just "cashing in" on the success of Far Cry. And that includes the series' original creator, whose second title, Crysis, is set on, yep, a tropical island.

"Going somewhere you knew was real but was really foreign and exotic, and you never really expected you would get to go in your real life - that's the magic of Far Cry," he told Eurogamer.

Crysis Updated Impressions - Dynamic Environments and Adapting to the Cold

PC News from N4G | Far Cry

PC - Far Cry - Crysis Updated Impressions - Dynamic Environments and Adapting to the Cold

The first-person shooter genre could be in for a very big wake-up call when Crysis debuts. The sophomore effort from Germany's Crytek is one of the biggest games on the horizon, thanks to the impressive screen shots released thus far and the reputation the company has earned from the superb Far Cry. As we covered in our last preview, the designers at Crytek want to create a game with a story that's as flexible and advanced as the cutting-edge graphics engine that powers it. In other words, you'll be able to go through the game in different ways instead of experiencing a rigidly linear storyline like that found in so many other first-person shooter campaigns. However, another goal of the design team is to create a believable and dynamic environment to battle in. The graphics in Crysis aren't just there for eye candy, as the game's physics engine means that everything behaves like it should, even when the conditions change drastically. Please note: this preview story may contain minor spoilers of some of the story elements in Crysis.
