CryEngine & Source are by far my favorite game engjnes.

Original Crysis 3 still looks perceptually better than most modern (A)AA games

We've lost so much.

KCD 2 runs smooth as butter and is absolutely gorgeous. One of the best looking games I have ever seen

And Crysis still is one of the best action games ever made

Legit wondered what happened to this engine. Was honestly my favorite one.

War of Rights use CryEngine too. It supports 400 players on one server with realistic smoke effects and bullet drop, unit collision and for the most part good physics. But those flags are still janky sometimes. It does all of this, and did it some years ago too but then supporting 150 players instead of 400. Meanwhile EA and Activision is talking about 64 players being too much to handle.

The one who killing it's themselves like literally also, Crytek mismanaged the business, developer experience, and accessibility and also Crytek’s Own Strategic Mistakes

If CryEngine continued developing at the same pace it was 20 years ago, then we would have games that look better than real life at this point.

Watching that guy blast out on the same LG Flattron monitor I had running Crysis on release just took me back hard. God those were good times...

Former Crytek people are also the one behind last two versions of Id Tech engine.

Doom 3 and HL2 did a good job of what they did. We had so much variation back then. Good times.

I just want CRYSIS 4 😭 PLZ

The gamers were removed from game development. Now it's a diverse group of theater kids.

I learned recently that a lot of devs for modern id Tech were (and still are, although most were recently fired by Microsoft) actually in a studio in Germany, and a lot of devs were former CryEngine developers... So the best modern engine in the industry right now is directly linked to Cryengine, that's crazy!

I've been working on my own engine, slowly making what I need for my current project and will continue too add onto it when making my current game in it

Crisis was the game that drove computer hardware more than any other game.

The facial animations where so much better back then.

Years ago you could study game design in Cologne where they used primarily CryEngine. They advertised this on the Role Play Convention in the same city.

Side note: TESLA wasn't actually punished for creating A/C too early. But I get your point. Tesla could have been filthy rich. Though in fairness, he was "punished" by the pushback created by Edison who was invested in DC. Tesla had psychological issues so basically self destructed including not fulfilling his contract to build a radio tower for a ship magnate.
