Monkey Island 2 CryEngine remake defies expectations | Joystiq
Quote:
We were all set to write a dismissive post about the video (after the break) of fanmade Monkey Island 2 environments in CryEngine -- "Hey, wonder what Monkey Island 2 would look like if it had all the life sucked out of it?" We don't have anything against loneclone, the modder who created the project -- we just assumed that the remake would take all the personality and quirk out, and replace it with hyperrealistic lighting effects.
But we can't snark about it, because loneclone completely nailed it. It looks pretty much exactly like the original, but in 3D. You can see art comparisons at the modder's site.

An embedded video (just over 5 minutes) of the 3D version features a camera "fly-through" of a few scenes from the original game, then a first person and third person view running through the beach (I don't think that "critter from the black lagoon" character was the part of the game, was it?). Or you may watch it directly on
YouTube in HD (click the HD icon on the bottom right of the viewing screen).
The mod was created by a Monkey Island fan who was just curious to see how it would look in 3D on a powerful game engine.
