DEAD CRY is a Total Conversion Singleplayer Mod playable through the Far Cry 3 Map Editor after installing mod and map files. The campaign will consist of multiple singleplayer missions very much inspired by games like Left4Dead, but with a Far Cry twist to them. The maps are all built from the ground up using assets at hand. Dead Cry will not merely be a bunch of maps or a mod alone though. It's as close to a completely new game as you can get. The campaign will include an immersive soundtrack, cinematic cutscenes, custom sound effects and voiceover work. Dead Cry is set to be released around Q3 2014 and is currently in Open Beta. You'll find trailers and gameplay down below. This page will be updated regularly.
We now have almost half a gigabyte of custom high res textures working on all settings (from Low to Ultra), including mipmaps for increased performance and decreased aliasing.
How's the performance and size compared to vanilla textures?
Performance is pretty much the same since I manually added mipmaps for the larger textures. Loading items mights take slightly longer but framerate is identical (resolution is the same as High/Ultra settings). The patch file now contains over 500MBs of new content and reskins + about 450MBs of common files which probably makes this one of the largest FC3 mods in terms of sheer size. Chanches are the next Beta version will be over 1GB in size. Obviously the file size is smaller when zipped for download.
