But one thing that makes me the most angry about CryEngine is the focus on jungles scenarios, i mean, imagine such a beautiful magic world that could be done with this engine but it just won't be done because Crytek don't make this kind of game. Anyway, Crysis was the game that defined this gen of Video Cards for gaming, it like initiated a new generation for pc gaming. When the configurations were announced i remember people saying pretty few computer were able to run at medium, and high settings were possible just with a high-end pc like alienware. Nowadays you can build a pc with 1000 dollars to run it at maximum. Doom 3 was something like that at it's times, but nowadays any onboard video card can run it at maximum. Just wait til the game that will define the new generation of video cards and pc gaming, probably Crysis 2. |
Except Half-Life 2 came out around the same time (a litle after if I remember right) and looked superior, especially in the animation department and worked on a PC with much lower specs. Then of course there is Cryteks own Far Cry which on the Highest settings back then still looks comparable to many current gen console shooters. IMO iD haven't made decent industry defining tech/engine for a long while now. Rage looks like it could change that, but Epic, Crytek and to a lesser extent Valve have been pushing PC tech more than iD have in a long while.
