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.

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

bunt-custardly422d 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?

Eonjay421d 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.

Concertoine421d ago

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

Hunt: Showdown is really underrated ...
Crytek has done fantastic job with the development and support

PrinceOfAnger145d ago

Good, listen to the community with Crysis 4 too and make something like the original game and warhead in terms of interactivity and destruction/ physics etc
why not combine all things from the series with one open world game?
and don't forget the bow!

SIdepocket145d ago

So in other words, the opposite of the approach taken by the Last Year developers.

This is great news!....such an underated and overlooked game, but it has more depth and replayability than most games put out these days, it just needs to catch up with this gen!
