CRYENGINE fans, we’ve got some interesting news for you today. According to Crytek’s roadmap, CRYENGINE 5.2 (which will be made available in mid-August) will fully support DX12. Not only that, but the next version of CRYENGINE (5.3) – that is currently planned to be made available in mid-October – will support the Vulkan API.

Cry engine looks incredible on PSVR.

I must say, Seeing some vids of gameplay of "Robinson : The Journey" on PSVR , i was truly blown away...
The whole atmosphere looks engaging, immersive and It looks visually incredible to boot...

no one in my class want to use this engine simply because no mobile platform support. haven't they learnt anything from their bankruptcy?

[hiredhelp]

Yeh they learnt they still have a very good engine that when in the right hands can be mind blowing.
The engine is getting better to use with eachbuild having vulkan will help alot with cards that had trouble hitting 60fps on cryteks previous titles such as crysis vulkan will help this.
They also learnt they have studio soly to them building working on there engine alone and a studio thats in partnership with deepsilver. They are not bankrupt never was they sold assests reduces studios concerntrated on what was best forword.
Dont read everything you see.

look, i love crytek and i used cryengine for months until i was stuck. i had trouble finding team to finish my indie game during my study. the engine is built with a mindset to become a leader in tech. that's not the case to make moneys nowadays. mobile platforms is where the moneys at. first they have to gain market share on students, and let them ask for cryengine in their company. more students, more community, more company's interest in using your engine. That's how Unity got big. my univ with 300+ students use mostly unreal, unity, or (surprise surprise) marmalade.

I wont and cant disagree when comparing Engine to Unity or unreal the engine is more complex in that sense but come on untill UE4 look at what cryengine gave you if you can work with it.
You obviously know your stuff more than me even as for mobile market there few unreal games on monile market but unity takes that crown as im sure your aware.
Is the cry engine too powerfull for mobile platform? Silly as it sounds..

[ngecenk]

yes i agree there are not much unreal based mobile games, but from all three, unreal is your best bet if you want to join triple A industry, there are a lots of unreal powered triple A games out there. and it's capability to make mobile games makes it worth to learn.and unity is your best bet for mobile. Cryengine is none of those. students don't really care to make a game with great graphics (since most of us know it also requires good and experienced artist). They just want to make their game available to all platforms as soon as possible.
