This Is What Next-Gen Doom 4 Could Look Like In CRYENGINE

Look amazing but the fleshy part wasn't so convincing. Looks like plastic...it not bad it just not convincing enough.

Guwapo773783d ago

Snowdrop > Cryengine

Like you said it looks good but doesn't measure up with some of the new engines coming out as well.

DeathOfTheFanBoy3783d ago

Best part was Sepultura covering Massive Attack, It actually distracted me from the visuals...

DeadMansHand3783d ago (Edited 3783d ago )

Off topic but I had to mention Sepultura was so much better with Max. Beneath the Remains is the 80s best speed metal record hands down.

H0RSE3783d ago

Chaos A.D. is my favorite album of theirs.

BISHOP-BRASIL3782d ago

@DeadMansHand

I know exactly what you are saying. And even worse, Soulfly's Max is just not as good as Sepultura's Max (even considering different genres and what not).

Welshy3783d ago

As pretty as Cryengine remakes of existing franchises look, I'd like Crytek to use their own engine to build a brand new game that had actual varied or interesting gameplay.

Santa Monica, Naughty Dog and Ubisofts Snowdrop all have engine that will easily rival Cryengine but feature interesting gameplay.

I love that my new console can almost stand toe to toe with PC's now, but I don't want a pixel counting generation where gameplay is sidelined for the sake od "look at our 1080p trees and shrubs!". I'd be happy with PS2 textures if a game ran well and was fun to play.

DeadlyFire3783d ago

Those studios have in house engines sure, but also will come a new crop of developers that will pick up CryEngine, UE4, Unity, and so on to compete with them.

Crytek is working on Warface, Homefront 2 and another project. Hopefully they spill their beans to the public at some point. I expect E3 2014 is the earliest before we see them show off something for this new gen.

ATi_Elite3783d ago

My PC is connected to a 4K tv

so your console standing toe to toe with my 4K PC is not realistic.

Battlefield 4 PC = 4K
Battlefield 4 anything else = sub 1080p

so how exactly is that toe to toe?

Welshy3783d ago (Edited 3783d ago )

@Deadlyfire
I can see where you're coming from, but Unity and Unreal are very flexible and broadly used engines which do produce great games, but Cryengine may as well be in-house since only Crytek seem to use it and 9/10 times they are graphics over gameplay.

I definitely don't dispute that great games can and will continue to come from Cryengine, I'm just speaking in broad terms/AAA games.

@ATI Elite
If you read, I said "almost" stand toe to toe and if you go by an average pc's spec then the next grn machines are even or marginally better. I have a £1000 PC myself, of course I know consoles can't touch that or a 4k capable behemoth, that's just common sense.

There's no need to pull the PC master race crap when my only mention of PC was complimentary to consoles and not detrimental to PC's, I own and love my own gaming PC after all.

AndrewLB3783d ago

The reason why you may have the impression of the PS4 going toe-to-toe with PCs is only because game development over the past few years has really taken a tole on innovation because of how outdated consoles were. My current video card is almost 2 years old now and it does 3.9tflops... which is double the PS4. But hey... that's a heck of a lot better than 20x faster. Hopefully devs will start taking advantage of the massive power the latest graphics cards have, because when they do... you'll see PS4 doesn't stand toe-to-toe. More like "just out of visual range". lol.

I don't think the quality of that video was good enough to show it off IMO.

listenkids3783d ago

Just looks like a scene from RE6

ATi_Elite3783d ago

StarCitizen will be running on the CryEngine 3 and the amount of detail in S.C. is unbelievable to go along with massive player count in infinite space.

Now I myself only see the Virtual Reality Engine 3, The Frostbite 3, and CryEngine 3 as next Gen Engines as they all have games that really push A.I., Lighting, physics, while having HUGE draw distances and large numbers of NPC's on screen.

Some engine pushing a linear hallway game with only 3 onscreen enemies at a time is not impressive graphics wise because it's concentrated into one spot. So I would expect a Dungeon Crawler to have FANTASTIC Graphics as all your GPU power will be pinpointed in one small area.

Games have got to be HUGE, open world, and still have great graphics with lots of post processing effects, large NPC counts, and lighting.

Hercules1893783d ago

Some games just dont work with open world tho. A game like Uncharted or Quantum Break just probably wouldnt work too well being open world.

Welshy3783d ago (Edited 3783d ago )

Yes, open world games HAVE to have large draw distances, lighting etc to stand up as next gen, but that strictly applies to open world only, you can't expect games that are fundamentally built to be linnear or in 1 set area to just throw the guide book away and essentially break their game by forcing something that doesn't fit in it.

If a "lesser" engine is highly concentrated to a room with 4 hi res characters, how is that not good graphics?

Good graphics are good graphics, you're mixing up how technically impressive an engine is to a genre.

If my fighting game with only 2 guys is 4K 60fps, that is amazing, by your logic fighters and sports games needing to be open world to impressive just plain doesn't make sense.

Not trying to be a d*ck, just pointing out that your logic is broken.

mediate-this3782d ago

@welshy i believe your missing the point.

ATi_Elite3780d ago

My Logic is NOT broken you just fail to see the POINT or the big picture so let me use an analogy.

You have a Muscle car capble of a sub 10 second 1/4 mile versus a Ferrari.

Now that Muscle car is AWESOME 0-60 in a straight line but when you break down everything a Sports Car is suppose to do that Muscle car is CRAP compared to a Ferrari which is good 0-60 and can perform on a TRACK and has great breaking performance.

So some linear game is NOT impressive to me when you have games out there doing a ton more.

Hunt: Showdown is getting one of the rarest things a game can get: an engine upgrade

"It is gonna be a long technical road" to update Hunt's version of CryEngine.

MadLad417d ago

Great game.
Smaller, but healthy, player base. At least on PC. Very tense game.

bunt-custardly417d ago

If anyone can upgrade the engine then Crytek can. Good news anyway. Hunt looks pretty awesome anyway, but with UE5 a thing now Cryengine beginning to look dated perhaps?

Eonjay416d ago

It was bound to happen. Let's hope that they can update their engine. As good as UE5 looks, we need multiple engines out there. This will prevent all games from looking too samey.

Looking at DF the last three Graphics of the year have been:

Insomniac engine
Red Engine
Decima Engine

I love seeing different engines flex their muscles.

Concertoine416d ago

I do too, but having a dependable and common engine would go a long way toward fixing development cost and time.

What's cool is you can see some of the animations they kept and revised for 2016.

nirwanda1221d ago

When you strip everything back you can really see how great the animation is.
It's amazing how far games have come.

glenn19791221d ago

For me its always interesting to see some prototype of a game of something else and see the final product on why they go another direction in the end

RaidenBlack1221d ago

My favorite is the MGS:Rising vs MGR:Revengeance.(I preferred the Kojima's one)
Another interesting one is Splinter Cell Conviction Concept vs Retail

spicelicka1221d ago

I don't see what is "COD-like" here? Just because there's 2 seconds footage with ironsight?

Concertoine1220d ago

The devs were openly going for the cinematic shooter style that was popular in the years this was developed. COD-like Doom was pretty much the pitch.

Fluke_Skywalker1220d ago

Looks pish, no wonder it got canned.

Every Doom Game Ever

Whilst the FPS genre has since had a tonne of fantastic franchises, such as Quake, Unreal and Serious Sam, Doom remains at the top of the pile, and has one of the best comeback stories in video game history. Doom is almost 30 years running, and has even bled into other mediums such as feature films and novels. As it has been going for so long, there have been a large number of entries in the series, and there are probably a few you never played. This is every Doom game ever.
