Crysis Expanded Mod v1.0

[agent_x007]

Hello everyone

I wanted to share some info about Crysis (1) mod I found on web few days ago :
It's 1,2GB archive (compressed), it's NOT replacing normal game files (U have to copy it's contents to folder "Mods" in game folder) and instead of talking about how it looks, here are some screen-shots :





And gameplays I uploaded :

1) Changed "Contact" map :

2) Beginning of "Recovery" : LINK

Bad news is, that mod's got few "bugs" in it (ie. sometimes textures can flicker, video can freeze, etc)

Wish I had more time for stuff like this!

I gave up modding stuff not so long ago, I started to get a little silly with the amount of things I'd collected ^_^

I'll be honest, this just looks like Crysis in 'over exposed' mode?

Your screenshots are also v.small, can you upload some at at least 1080p otherwise we can't really see much

Screenshots are in thumbnail form.
Just left click on them (two times), and they change to BIG (1920:1080) versions.

As for lighting, that may be true (overall), but U can't make low resolution textures look like high ones, by just changing lighting effects
I couldn't show them well in screenshots, that's why I added video of gameplay.

Of course, I recommend downloading mod and seeing how it looks in real-time, instead of drawing conclusions from few pics and one video.

PS. If mod file is downloading slowly, there should be copies of it in other places.

Man I love this game. It was the best looking game ever for a long time and really only got knocked out of the top spot with Crysis 3 IMO. Crysis was one of the first games that I was ever just awestruck by the graphics. Id never seen anything like it before and was just blown away the first time you step onto that ridge and look out over the scenery with the sun rising.

It doesn't look all that better to me. I don't know if it's just the screenshot, but the second one is suffering from pixelation around the edges of certain objects (the gun and the large rocks).

I think it's a bug, maybe from 16xQ AA, or maybe from modded/changed lighting.
But you are right, it shouldn't look like that.

Basicly :
Pixel colour on edges is calculated wrong, when two dark surfaces meet eachother.

Good to know. The original game still looks pretty great without the mods
