Obsidian Edge II - Better Graphics Than Crysis?!

The Polishing Weevils, a pretty large PC mod development team (30 people) are hard at it with their sequel to Obsidian Edge 1, which was released for the original FarCry. Many might not know the mod due to it being released roughly three years after FarCry. Not this time! The Polishing Weevils and Crytek plan to have this mod out 2-3 months after Crysis ships. This is one of the many ways Crytek is trying to gain reputation with the mod community. Now let the media commence...

Obsidian Edge 2 is likely to be better than all console exclusive shooters this year, shockingly. It's a very tactical multiplayer game that has co-op. Hey, if two UNI students could create Counter-Strike - I don't see how 30 experienced devs can't do it here. I'll put up links soon.

But... its using the CryEngine 2... so it would have the same graphics as Crysis... >_>foxhound_fox

Does Dark Messiah have the same graphics as Half-Life 2? 

Gears of what?

And to all the consoles out there: No mods for you! 

When I first read the topic -- I thought -- another b&#@$#!t thread trying to own Crysis. Then I realized YOU posted it baddog, and I saw the screens.

Cryengine 2 FTW. Mods FTW.

No it wouldn't. Engines are scalable.

Yeah. Before entering any thread comparing Crysis to another game graphically I always get the feeling that it will fail lol.

depends on if crytek is giving them the full source
