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.
Packing three singleplayer maps – The Arrival, Frozen Paths and Infiltration – and two team deathmatch maps into the 347 MB download, Delta Sector seems like a great reason for us to dust off that old Far Cry DVD and see if it still works. At least, for those of us that aren’t able to run the super high-def Crysis in all its DX10 glory.
Now if you’re done collecting your jaw…
With the madness of September and October behind us, one would have hoped to find some time to sit down and breathe. But do the folks at Crytek love to prove us wrong! Crysis is due out November 16, while the single-player demo was supposed to flood gamers’ desktops with happiness way back on the-day-nothing-happened. Fortunately, the demo finally found its way to the light, on the 26th of October.
The Multiplayer demo had slipped out with much less fanfare a few weeks ago. Concerns were raised over graphics and performance, and dark clouds were beginning to gather in gamers’ minds: Was the game over-hyped? Will the factors of the Valenzetti Equation never change? Are we all doomed to die and burn in hell?! The answers lie ahead… Some of them, at least.
