Thanks as much to the tools as the talent,the line between mods and commercial titles blurs more by the day. But there's still a line. Not that you'd know it to look at Lightspire: Fortune's Web, a CryEngine 2 action-RPG mod that simply looks too good to be true.
So, is it? Promising much of Crysis, versatile action, and incredibly consistent from concept to code, it recently took its first step towards commercial release by securing an evaluation licence from engine creator Crytek.
Edge sat down with Ashton Andersen, head of the enthusiastically named virtual studio Lukewarm Media, just moments before Crytek officially welcomed him to the family.
Welcome to this months major news update on LightSpire: Fortune's Web. Over the past month LukeWarm Media have been hard at work to bring you this update. Recently the team have begun creating some of the many new assets that will be a part of the LightSpire world. Utilizing all the cutting edge technologies incorporated into the CryENGINE 2 they continue their quest to bring the evolution of fantasy to a screen near you!
cry engine 2 baby... people are so swept up with killzone they dont realize what us pc players get to see... with crysis cryengine 2. Generations beyond graphically.
The only thing they can say when next Gen hits is we have 3 more Gigabytes of ram more then you do and we have 1 billion transistors more then you're console or more Ghz then you do considering most PC's use 3 or 4 or even 6 Gigabytes and the next consoles will have probably 4 or 6 Gigabytes and more transistors and Ghz
and of course PC fans will make something up to justify the PC making it look more powerful face it once was the most powerful platform are I don't know I just cant find the word that I'm looking for?.
Anything to brag about considering consoles will have more cores and 1 billion transistors more Gigabytes of ram and more Ghz and of course a moron like you misunderstood face it consoles are not getting as weak as you PC fans think and I said next Gen idiot and you have forgotten that Sony can buy those technology and can put it in there new console Sony always goes for cutting edge technology's.

Actually i even own it .... Crysis Warhead was pretty decent , but otherwise i still stand by my opinion that the original is nothing great , graphics aside .
Actually given that i own pc and consoles and was actually more of a PC gamer , until lately , and even hated the simple idea of pad controlled FPS , if anyone needs to drop some BS misconception , it might not be me , at least not anymore . Hell i wasnt among the ones getting wet over the rumors of some Crysis port .. the engine is hot , the game not so much , unlike well it's "rival" Farcry 2 , maybe less impressive , but far more enjoyable ...
And let's not even go near cod4 or 5
The game needed a damn addon to finally becomes worthwhile imho , and yet remains an easily forgettable experience.
