Why do you say CryEngine is not very good? I don't have any experience with the dev side, but I used to follow engine tech and CryEngine was (historically, at least) ahead of the competition in rendering large, luscious outdoor environments. These are generally regarded as difficult in software compared to the more static, geometric indoor environments common in earlier technology.
- meheleventyone 5y agoA good renderer is only a small part of a game engine. The rest of CryEngine was a heaving mess for actually trying to make a game in without direct access to the people making it.
- gmueckl 5y agoTo quote a former Crytek employee who had a sarcastic streak: "There's a reason it's called CryEngine!"
- Thaxll 5y agoThe rendering story was over 15 years ago, CryEngine is pretty much an abandoned engine, I only know 2 games using a variant of it which are StarCitizen and the new game from Amazon ( both using Lumberyard ).
- teamonkey 5y agoThe engines used for Ubisoft's FarCry and WatchDogs series are derivatives of CryEngine. The fork was a while back, but as a basis for large open world games, the legacy lives on

I find it very ironic that Crytek's evil geniuses very successfully managed to market low framerates as a feature. /shrug
