I was thinking as well why nobody talks about his. I think the entire history of the engine is interesting. I think Cryengine really fall off and does not perform that well for modern games. I played Hunt Showdown, it look quite OK but that THAT good and it rather performs badly, I think trees is what really causes massive performance. I also played Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 (I think) also use Cryengine and it seemed it performed better and also looked better in a way even though I love Hunt Showdowns art direction, something about Ghost Warrior make it look "better". Anyway there was a part of a level with a lot of trees and the performance really noticeably went down.
But Cryengine to this day is close source so I am really curious what kind of insane deal Amazon had with Crytek that they could build their Lumberyard engine based on Cryengine and later open source it and rename it o3de. From what I read they mainly just put lots of Amazon cloud stuff integrations into it rather then focusing on the actual 3d rendering parts of the engine.
This seems like a pretty decent engine that is open source that is something really special, yet nobody does anything with it, nobody talks about it. They do not no showcase that shows anything known or good for some reason on the site.
New World uses the engine and I did not even saw it mentioned. Should that not be the big showcase? I mean the game seems not super good and it also not looks very impressive but still, at least its a major title that is build with it.

- redder23 3y agoIt was Cryengine 2 when Amazon bought the rights? Cryengine 3 is used in Wolcen for example, it seems some devs still chose Cryengine 3 over o3de, at least the Wolcen devs did. I would be curious what the differences are by now between o2de engine and the latest Cryengine version because there is quite some time past after "the split". And they have to pay to use Cryengine 3.
