Go Back to the Future With Awesome Crysis Mod

Thanks to this fan-made Crysis mod, you too can see some serious sh*t with Doc Brown's DeLorean time machine.


When it comes to the subject of time machines, are there any more iconic (or more badass) than Doc Brown's souped-up DMC-12 DeLorean [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DeLorean_time_machine] from Back to the Future? I submit that there are not. But for as long as movie enthusiasts and sci-fi geeks have longed to be able to hop inside the gull-wing doors and hit 88 MPH to vanish in a burst of sparks and flaming tire tracks, the technology has long eluded us - perhaps due to a lack of Libyan-funded plutonium, but your guess is as good as mine.

We may not have the technology to create a real time-traveling DeLorean, but we do have Crysis, and at least one enterprising modder who has replicated Doc Brown's time machine in surprising fidelity. It isn't just the look of the car, either - the time-travel effects look spot on, and I can't be the only one who was watching the speedometer at the bottom of the screen as it inched towards 88, can I?

Modders: The #1 source of the world's most impressive and yet utterly pointless stuff. God bless 'em.

(I highly, highly recommend the Soundtrack version [http://www.youtubedoubler.com/?video1=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fv%2FDZAaKH0FYO8&start1=1&video2=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fv%2FXTGyeGgMpk8&start2=0] for maximum nostalgia, by the way)

So it's just the car model/animation? No time travel? Awwh.

Did you not see it change from day to night every time he used it? Okay, maybe it's not going back to 1985, but the time travel mechanic is there :p

AMAZING! Especially the last part where he just makes it travel one min into the future. From the description on the mod site it says you can pick a destination time. Dunno how well the mechanic is though. I'll have to DL this baby and dig up my Crysis disks.

Ok. That is Badass. I wish you could see the stupid grin I had on my face while I was watching this. :D

This would be a great mechanic to implement into a game. I don't necessarily think a 'Back to the Future' game is the best idea though. I mean, I see it being kind of tough building a whole game around going into the past and trying not to bang your mom.

But I would love to see a developer tackle something similar with an open world environment and different eras of time to travel too. I know it's wishing too much but I would love to see what Rockstar could do with this. Maybe a wild west, a present, and a far future. Missions and puzzles based around going back and forward through time could be very awesome if done right.

Well it's not open world, but Hazradous Software's Achron [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/the-escapist-show/890-Episode-43-Hazardous-Softwares-Achron] has some pretty amazing and mind-boggling time travel mechanics.

Someone should give this guy a job to make DLC for their game.

Because we totally need another developer to charge $20 for changing [active=0] to [active=1] regarding to crap already on the disk instead of making expansion packs that cost the same but are essentially the whole game revamped with double the content.

If crysis was already operating on a DLC scheme, this mod wouldn't exist.

I have to admit, I was fucking amazed that the car disappeared on it's own after he jumped out. I wonder how the car went back into the past in mid air, and came back to the future (ha) in mid air as well. I'm not complaining, cause they did that in the movie as well, but I want to know how that, in the theoretical reality the movie provides, works.

Pretty cool mod but I'm still rather fond of the TARDIS though for when it comes to time travel Funk.
