Hello there !

I am Alex626, leader of the "Deep Shadows" mod team from crymod.com community. I am making the CryEngine and CryEngine2 mods. As I can see, the Far Cry game is quite old now, so I started to use my engines knowledge to improve something new there. And a some time ago I decided to make a game port to CryEngine2 engine (Crysis game). It is a non-commerce mod called "Project Far Cry"

The mod's best feature is not only a remake , but fully reworking of all the levels , assets and story. Our goal is to make Far Cry on a new CE2 engine with the best graphics , physics and story. I even made the HUD and UI menus using original Far Cry style.

You can visit the MODDB page here: http://www.moddb.com/mods/project-far-cry1

Look at these screenshots:




Compare the Project Far Cry graphics and environment with the similar Far Cry place:

It will be extra difficult to make everything from zero, so we want to use some of Far Cry assets, such as:

• Characrters
  
• Geometry models
  
• Textures
  
• Dialogue sound files
  

To UBISOFT:

I know that it is quite a hard decision, but please allow us to use these assets in our non-commercial purpose.

Far Cry was developed on CryEngine (game engine), CryEngine 2 could support its information. We found a way to recreate the Far Cry levels on the best-known Crysis engine and bring to Far Cry a new best physics , graphics ,
lighting , sound effects , particle effects etc. We don't need to make a commerce on that . And we don't need the money. We only want to recreate the Far Cry and show it on the new level !

But we only need official Ubisoft permission for that . If we will get this permission , we can improve the Ubisoft rules there, for example logos, credits and etc.

I PM'd a link to this thread to someone higher up at Ubi within one and a half hours of the thread being started, so Ubisoft staff will know about this.

What the result may be though, is not something I can forecast, but it has been drawn to their attention.

Thank you !!!

I hope Ubi will accept the mod

There may be a God after all.....

I updated the HUD radar and I made it be transparent and added the noise.

Bump ^^

Any news ?

Ouch, the fps doesn't look very nice but other than that - looks splendid!


Don't expect an answer for a while... a _long_ while...

Btw, doesn't crytek have anything to do with the far cry trademark any more? I think you'll have more of a chance there. At least they answer.

Yeah, fps is quite bad, but that's because I don't have the powerful videocard.

As I know Crytek sold the rights on far cry to Ubisoft and now they could not use neither name nor assets.

But I want to have some dialogue with Ubi, so maybe they will allow it to me.
Anyway I think it is better to allow the usage of assets to our team because they will lose nothing, as they have nothing to lose. Far Cry is unpopular game now, so maybe our mod will give the gamers a chance to buy and play the original.

i stand corrected. i assumed the far cry thread had been left to whither. :P

and dude, that looks AMAZING. if you hadn't told me that was crysis (and the gun wasn't there), i would SWEAR that was far cry.

I look forward to the lava levels!

Those are definitely going to be interesting.

Wait... there's only one? Stupid moi...



When you're finished I might feature you on my site, even though it's not a far cry mod : P
just saying...

A new graphical update: We have changed the Sky and Sun colors and adjusted the water to look like Paradise and make a good soft reflections.

Plus HUD is resized, positioned and distorted like in Far Cry. Radar has now have the specific noise.

Looks good!

Only thing is that the roofs are a bit too bright. It looked better the way it was in the original
