Oblivion in CryEngine 2

[Thrik]

We've already seen the BRAVIA advert amazingly redone in CryEngine 2:

... now it's time for Oblivion:

Pretty cool. I assume they just imported it so the model fidelity could probably be improved, but it's nice regardless. I wonder if developer take-up of the engine will be more significant than it was for CryEngine 1 seeing as it's clearly very flexible, or will the high performance costs make them opt for something more mid-range like Unreal Engine?

The BRAVIA one is still much more impressive of course.

Pampers to the rescue.

Pity the HD version is broken. It loses a lot of the beauty when compressed up the ass.

here's the original thread: http://crymod.com/thread.php?threadid=2 ... r=0&page=1

This guy did a good work importing the geometry and the textures from oblivion to Crysis, but unfortunatly he can't release the map. he said he asked permission to Bethesda Softworks, but obviously, the answer was no.

Bethesda suck

Why does the video keep disappearing off sites? Bethesda's lawyers are serious cocks if they're chasing even the videos around.

Wasn't that impressive anyways. It was all environment shots with pretty bad lighting, no characters, etc. The biggest improvement was probably the shadows coming through the leaves on all the foliage. With some tweaks to the INI's and a few mods you'd have a far better looking Oblivion than this, and you'd be able to play it too

I could not find anything particularly good looking in that vid?

I don't see the point of this either. :-|
