CryEngine 4 Demo

The procedural weather and realistic deep facial skinning look like interesting new features.

The facial animation is messed up, it reminds me of the rubbish from L.A. Noire, who in the world makes facial expressions like that when doing stuff? O_o

Graphically it looks great though, but that's to be expected from Crytek.

See some very nice games coming from that.

The deep textures are great so deep and the color it all stands out just perfect.

its not called cryengine 4 just cryengine as it is just a engine that evolves now.

Yes that is a very nice video.

However, I would assume their engine was half as good as their videos make out more devs would actually use it. Seeing CryEngine these days just just makes me think style over substance.

I'm sure it's a great technical achievement but what has that achievement really transferred to in the real world? A few pretty but really rather bland shooters.

These engines are just wondrous pieces of software. Cryengine, Frosbite, Unreal Tech 4, Snowdrop. The real time quality is astounding.

I still think the stuff from ur3 tech demo looks as good as this.

I think that's a bit harsh on CryEngine. All of these engines have their strengths and weaknesses, but the fidelity is fantastic across the board.

Love the weather effects.

stulid · 22 Aug 2013 at 23:22

Nice effects.

Very nice. Love the part where you see the houses. That looked a step closer to realism.

I think CryEngine 3 is the most impressive of all the major engines out there right now in my opinion; it really is the complete package. Playing through Crysis 3 had me gawking at the screen the whole time, it was just a visually wonderous experience. The amount of detail and more importantly, 'dynamic' detail is just incredible. One of the few games that actually makes me appreciate just how powerful a modern desktop GPU really is.

Now I just want STALKER remastered on Cryengine 3. :eek:

That's not the engine's fault, but rather the people who work with it. Deus Ex, Stalker, Fear or other great games that require beautiful graphics in order to truly shine, would be just awesome on this technology.

Crytek are good technically but visually it looks plastic as far.
for my eye the games I played with crytek, havent looked right yet.

Frostbite engine however is done much better there.

I would sell my firstborn for a PC to run that maxed out... :eek:

Love the effects with the water. Awesome.

Klo · 23 Aug 2013 at 10:06

Very cool.

I prefer the Crytek engine to the Frostbite and Unreal Engine I think. I always find the Unreal engine looks very plastic while the Crytek engine manager to avoid this to some extent.

Looks promising

Just saw this on Guru3D, shame they used Ryse possibly the most boring game ever.

wazza300 · 26 Aug 2013 at 13:04

does look good,asuming its actual in game and not cutscenes

fist crysis still does it for me,the rest went downhill imo
