Farcry 4 uses Cryengine?? Mantle could surely overpower the negative effects of GameWorks.

I remain skeptical that Farcry 4 will support Mantle though because they support GameWorks. I don't think you can have your cake and eat it.

Farcry 4 uses Cryengine??

it's developed by crytek, so yea they use cryengine, it's published by ubisoft, unless they sold the licence or something

Edit: yea that was only the 1st farcry, apparently they sold the licence to ubisoft, then they changed the graphic engine to dunia 1.0 and 2.0 for the farcry 3, th last farcry is developed by ubist shanghai studio probably on another Dunia engine, so no Mantle false alarm

I edited my post slightly but Hmm.

Could Mantle overcome the negative effects of GameWorks? Now there is an interesting debate for another day.

I'll say it now, if Ubisoft support Mantle in Farcry 4, they win some respect back, plus ill buy the game. Still can't see it happening though lol.

Only Far Cry 1 was developed by Crytek, the subsequent ones are not Crytek titles.

As i thought, too good to be true.

Lol, just imagine Mantle and GameWorks together. The GameWorks effect on AMD would be null and void as it's not DX11.

if Mantle adds value to AMD users, and gameworks for nvidia users, i dont see why a dev shouldn't implement both ! better value overall, and more sponsoring $
well crytek has homefront2 on the work, cryengine too, so maybe Mantle, crossfingers xD

I'd like to see both of these in the same game best of both worlds for gpu users

Old article but i didn't realise that Mantle will be baked into the Rebellion Asura engine. I'd expect a string of Mantle games from this publisher then, starting with Sniper Elite V3.

We are proud to announce that we will be working closely with AMD to add Mantle support to our in-house game engine, Asura.

As Rebellion's CTO and Co-founder, Chris Kingsley explains, Asura powers all of our games – from – from advanced PC titles, to mobile and next-generation console games:

"It supports more platforms than almost any other engine we can think of and has important cutting edge features, including: tessellation, DirectX® 11 Compute Shaders, AMD Eyefinity technology, multi-GPU support and more."

"As one of Europe’s leading independent games studios we're dedicated to constantly pushing our technology as far as we can, and we're excited about the possibilities that Mantle brings to PC gaming and the industry as a whole."

Rebellion CEO and Creative Director, Jason Kingsley confirms that support for Mantle will be a crucial part of our plans for the next year:

"We believe that supporting Mantle will enable us to stay on the bleeding edge of PC gaming and ensure that we don’t leave any performance on the table when it comes to offering gamers amazing experiences."

"Our first Mantle supported title will of course be our flagship 2014 game, Sniper Elite 3. And although we can’t talk about them right now we can’t wait to reveal even more titles with Mantle support in the next year."

"Supporting Mantle in all our future PC titles will play a big part in what will be a huge year for Rebellion. 2013 has been a hugely exciting year for the studio, and 2014 is lining up to be even better.

Those GameWorks titles and the negative effects they *supposedly bring.

*nothing shows that they do.

 

[ICDP]

It's nice to see more Mantle titles being planned. My experience with mantle has been positive compared to DX.

 

[triss]

More exposure mantle gets and more games with it the better imo
Anything that advances gaming for users is good imo

I'm just teasing Greg.

I haven't been keeping up with devs who have signed up to support Mantle. Are square enix one of them?

Not yet i don't think. Really hope they do though. They're a close partner, so I'd say it's a strong possibility.

Is anyone counting the total?

 

[Martini1991]

While I'm very pleased with the number of Mantle titles, I'm extremely disappointed the majority are coming from EA, because EA suck, they've ruined nigh on every developer that's gotten in bed with them, so I just can't get excite about their games.
Are we now doing a Battlefield a year?

Hardline is a battlefield spin off not bf5 so to speak. It's just like how they did bad company series.
