For the past several years, ORM Entertainment has been working on a simulator called Titanic: Lost in the Darkness. Beginning life as a mod for the original Crysis, T:LITD (just rolls of the tongue, doesn’t it) has been updated and refined and reiterated upon until eventually being moved to CryEngine 3, where it has achieved its current, staggeringly gorgeous state, as seen in the trailer above.
Good god, how much research did they do‽ I’d read quite a lot about Titanic, but I’m still learning new things from this, like how the blinds went up, and the public/shared — second class? — toilets. So cool! Also, nice demo of the little cheat James Cameron did for his film: slightly widening the grand staircase to accommodate modern humans.
It’s not too much to ask for a wreck version of this, is it?
