Once again a modification for Crysis hit the PCGH main page. Why? The user Simrad hasn't just copied jungle and savannah in Far Cry 2 style into the Cry Engine 2 but also integrated dynamic weather effects.

The first screenshots and the first video of the Crysis mod "Far Cry 2” look quite good already. The mod is said to have a day/night cycle, dynamic weather (possibly dynamic fire, too), Ultra High config and its own sounds.
In our gallery you can find some pictures of the modification and appropriate shots of Far Cry 2. Additionally you can find a video of the modification below the article.
I'm a big fan of weather effects and day/night cycles, too. But I personally think that a good game has to have a bit more than good graphics and stunning effects. A good plot is, in my opinion, one of the most important features a game can have. Only recently Doug Lombardi said that the graphics reached a level that can hardly be improved and that other features of a game will become more important.
very,very nice...ive been playing a fair bit of stalker clear sky lately,and really do appreciate the fantastic weather/lighting effects...really does draw you deeper into a game i think...god knows what extra graphical effects would do to the fps on crysis though lol.
