Curious how Dark Age of Camelot might look if it were running on CryEngine2 (the engine powering Crysis)? If you're nodding yes, then check out some screenshots and video of this awesome fan made mod by Silakka that is doing just that!

Some of the scenery recreated in the mod includes the Hibernia frontier, Midgard, Relic keep, Aerus City, and Thidranki.

That is insane, just checking his site out, looks like his doing alot of work on it.
Just makes you wounder if a casual hobbysit can do this, why cant mythic? Looking at his screenshots and videos it looks preety amazing tbh.
good artwork stands the test of time, for sure. looks realy good even in itsl ow poly objectsy state
Playing polished, lag free, feature complete games is carebear. Whining about a game you hate but still play is hardcore man!
That's pretty amazing. It's like night and day. Wish he video was longer and that he went outside to look around.
edit: nvm, subsequent videos do feature the outside.

That looks awesome. Daoc was the best period. No game since has ever held my attention for near as long as Daoc did.
Mythic come on. Time for a revamp and update. Dump WAR already.
That makes you wonder, why Mythic didn't make DAOC 2 instead of that crap, Warhammer............
warhammer is daoc2 in warhammer skin. virtually 90% of the concepts in warhammer would be in a game called daoc2, so it dont make no difference. Simple fact is Mythic have had baffons running them for years now, and1 big idiot doing podcasts for the same amount of time in Paul barnet. Dont be fooled into thinking a game named daoc2 would be any different, because warhammer for all intesne and purposes is a game that wa supposedly built around rvr, and like i said it employs the same thought and ideas 90% a game named daoc2 would have had.
I stopped playing MMOs a year or so ago, but if this happened.. I would be resubbing.
The video demos on his site are amazing!
Thidranki Castle looks kinda small though :P
My thought. When some hobby programmers can do such things... why can't professionals? Its what I think often when I see mods.

Anyone with a bit of creativity can build a zone or area and make it look nice. The difference is making it come to life, this is not an easy feat.
In other words, you could have a beautiful game made from the cry engine, but if the devs don't put their hearts into it, it will just be shiny poop.

Passion for something>Money for doing something. Blending the two is when you get the best results.
Mythic needs to hire this guy! I will pay money to see DAOC upgraded to the Cry Engine!

They can. All he did was import the game assets from DAOC into the Crysis engine, been done before with the oblivion assets. So why don't the developers do this? Well they could but they'd end up with a clone of their game and a huge fee for the engine. Not to mention they have to reprogram a lot of the gameplay, ui, AI etc.
And how many players have a PC that can run 200 players with the CryEngine2?

Bad just look Aion. I never had a problem of FPS with my e8400 + 4gig + 4870 516mb. My build is not so expansive. If you search correctly you can have a good box for 700$ to 900

I still play daoc off and on, there is no othere game for me really havent found one. if they make a daoc 2 with the sam,e time period then i would glady go to that..
Playing daoc and loving it totally..
have Played
Eq,Eq2,WoW,Coh,Cov,
and other..
which i have forgotten..
Professionals can, but not without giving Crytek money and lots of it.
It's Crytek - don't give Mythic an excuse to instance DAoC.
Seconded.
Because for some reason some developers thing that slapping a long standing IP on a game makes it an instant hit.
that looks very badass, I loved DAoC so much it was the first game i fell in love with, besides UO cuz it gave birth to mmos
. I like to think of darkfall as my DAoC 2 because it has massive siege battles, and I only played DAoC for PvP even tho I would pve jsut to gear up for PvP
Unfortunately its far more easy to build a map in existing game that looks like DAoC map than actually importing a game and all its features to the engine.
and aion uses cryengine1, crysis cryengine2
OMG...is it possible to take the Crytek engine and build a seamless world, then take the combat of Mount and Blade and mesh them together? Once this is done is it possible to use python scripting to make seamless world version of Mount and Blade/Age of Empires/UO? LOL!
How did he get a hold of the Crysis engine to do this conversion?I have spent most of my years fooling around on the Unreal engine ,i would like to try this engine.

Crysis comes with a SDK.

Editor is in CD and SDK can be loaded from crymod.com
Also I'm using few extra tree sets from crymod.com as Crysis default trees didn't work for all tree models.
