BioShock environments look gorgeous powered by CryEngine 3

Artist Scott Homer has been a little too busy working as an artist at Crytek UK to update his online portfolio, but he did share a few shots of what he calls an "homage to the BioShock universe."

The handful of screens he offered shows what Irrational's award-winning BioShock would look like if it had been built atop CryEngine 3 (which powered Crysis 2), rather than a modified version of Unreal Engine 2.5.

In a different world, we might have gotten this version of BioShock we received. Who knows, maybe it'll be a BioShock we get later ... if the industry continues its love affair with updated and re-released classic games.
