Naturally, modders/artists/indie devs decided to take a look at this SDK and came up with some pretty… well… bizarre results. And from the looks of it, it seems that next-gen will be all about lens flares and some ‘in-your-face’ particles effects. Yes yes, some modders overused those effects in the following shots, but it’s pretty clear that every damn engine now supports those anamorphic lens flares."
"It is gonna be a long technical road" to update Hunt's version of CryEngine.
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?
LifelessTapir has released a free game in which he basically recreated the entire Isla Nublar island from Jurassic Park in CRYENGINE.
It's Cryengine free you say? Great news, sick of all that cryengine in my dinosaur games.
Crytek has announced that CRYENGINE 5.6 is available now for all game developers. According to the team, this major new release includes over 1,000 changes to the engine.
not true. its all about multifuctionality, bigger games, gddr5, and ps4.
I guess this could mean we start moving away from the brown smudge shooters but lens flares. I feel the gaming industry takes too many cues from the movie industry which the gaming industry then runs into the ground so no one can use it again.
I like the sun, but i dont like to stare directly at it.
i like this gen the most, it allows games to go the full limit, with games this gen saying they held back because they had to..
Lens flares, IF they are properly rendered. I've seen ugly flares that are too over the top.
Just focus on making games pretty over all. Don't dilute the other effects by shoving one graphical asset down our throats.
