CryENGINE 3 - Image 1 


Crytek has just teamed up with universities yet again for their technology, CryENGINE 3. Their goal is simple: get them hooked.

Crytek's R&D Manager, Ury Zhilinsky, puts it by saying that they aim to entice the students from the universities with their products so that they will "become part of our larger CryENGINE community, so they can create their own innovations and train to become the developers of the future."

Talk about graphics sluts, Crytek is trying to have everyone think that there is no better graphics technology than CryEngine



Well BOO HOO, CRY ME A RIVER!! Graphics are not everything.

This is not Crysis. It's an engine.

Sure graphics are nice and everything but remember that the what makes an engine effective is its not only graphics, but a composition of elements such as: Easy-to-Use/Physics/Graphics/Efficiency(Usag e of Gpu and Cpu and how it's gonna use it) and so on.

It the crysis engine.

an engine is essensially a template.



anything built on this engine will share crysis soul, just like (for example) any game built on source has that half life 2 mod smell.



crysis is a ***** game because it plays and feels like *****.. hense this engine + *****



T-Max Blaze was spot on.

What about the Unreal engine? Not every game using that engine looks like Unreal tournament. Your point is fail, Musev.

exactly what MagicButterStic k said. The engine is only the ground base of a game. It's like saying on a foundation you can only build one type of house. Unreal Engine was a really good example. There are even RPGs based on Unreal Engine, The Last Remnant for example. Does TLR look like Unreal Tournament? No, so you fail, Musev, just like T-Max Blaze.

Well they did make a engine which was so powerful that our current day PC can't still handle. On my part i think the CryEngine is was released way to early as we don't have the hardware to render it properly.



@Musev A engine is the base. It isn't essentially the game. Crytek just showed that you can make a game using the engine nothing else. Also Unreal Engine powers many games but they aren't all in the same format as Unreal Tournament. e.g Gears of war 1 + 2, Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe, The Wheelman, Mirror's Edge, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Vegas 1 + 2 and Stranglehold are all based on Unreal Engine but they aren't essentially one game and one format.

You rear ur ugly head in almost every article arguing against ppl, thinking you have a point and you can't even see the point in what Im saying. Well let me spell it out for you. There are better graphics engines out there than just CryEngine. My point is in no way associated with anyone elses after the first comment I made. So Silver-Tiger, YOU RECIEVE AN F- for FAIL!!!
