Official press release:

Crytek Announces the Arrival of the New CRYENGINE®
Frankfurt – August 21, 2013

Frankfurt am Main (Germany) August 21, 2013 – Crytek have ushered in a new era for their state-of-the-art CRYENGINE technology, with the launch of the new CRYENGINE; an ever-evolving technology service, with always up to date access to the latest features in CRYENGINE for commercial game licensees.

CRYENGINE users will also benefit from the coming together of Crytek’s Engine Licensing and Research & Development teams; a move designed to double the level of one-to-one care game licensees can tap into, in essence offering Crytek’s R&D as a service for developers using the new CRYENGINE.

On top of these changes, the new CRYENGINE supports development on current and next generation consoles (Xbox One, PlayStation®4, and WiiU™), alongside PC, with further platforms to be added in the near future.

In line with the new services, the all-in-one development solution will no longer be identified by version numbers; reflecting the fact that constant updates and upgrades are always being applied to keep CRYENGINE at the forefront of its field.

Areil Cai, Director of Business Development – CRYENGINE said: "Supplying an engine is not about delivering a static piece of software. It’s about Crytek being an R&D team for our game licensees; providing the latest, greatest technology we can, all the time. As an industry, we’re all looking to deliver games as a service now – and we feel the same approach can be taken with game engines. Today's announcement reflects this progress, as well as our ongoing commitment to making sure CRYENGINE® licensees always stay well ahead of the game."

Also commenting on Crytek's announcement, Carl Jones, Business Development Director at Crytek, said: "Since CryENGINE 3 was launched in 2009, we've dramatically changed the engine so many times, with so many major new features, it’s not the same engine anymore. We have revolutionised many parts of the engine: we have overhauled our entire lighting system, built movie quality character rendering and animation solutions, vastly improved the speed and effectiveness of our Sandbox editor, and even our rendering has changed with tessellation, pixel accurate displacement mapping and now physical based rendering; all of this while maintaining our first principal: that making games should be real-time, all the time. CRYENGINE is a new engine from Crytek – and it always will be!”

This week also sees a major update to Crytek's free CRYENGINE® SDK; granting non-commercial users access to a raft of the new features that recently helped to make Crysis 3 a visual benchmark for gaming. It is two years since the launch of the free CRYENGINE® SDK. In that time, the engine has been downloaded over five million times and is used for non-commercial projects every day by a constantly growing community and more than 400 universities. The update to the free SDK will take user feedback on board and remove some restrictions, which prevented users from working offline.

These changes to the CRYENGINE service are being marked with a new website which can be seen at www.cryengine.com. Over time, the site will grow to offer new options for game developers, and will ultimately become the central hub for all official CRYENGINE content online.

Bohot Tight engine hai yaar.

 

[Dorito]

My pc can't even run Crysis 1.
Aur ab ye aagaya ._.

 

[Chandoo]

crytek can just live off their engine if they learn to market it as well as unreal did with UE3 last gen.

 

[rameezfenix]

I concur with Mr. Chandoo.

 

[MegamanEXE]

They should learn to use this in TV shows where it seems like they had a PlayStation 1 to render the special effects.

 

[Ibbu Bhai]

No offense but CryEngine is Daddy of all, Frostbite doesn't comes near it. Never the less Frostbite is also an awesome Gaming Engine but CryEngine and Unreal Engine are above of all Gaming Engines.

Even though Crysis 3 was just okay but man its Graphics totally blew me away, that much detail in Graphics no doubt shows a bright Future for PC Games and Gamers.

 

[Nauman 360]

i like it....

Unreal has been there for a much much longer time. Experience with a specific tool set counts a lot too from a developer's perspective.

lolz what is the meaning of game engine which is not optimized for games , its better for crytek to go in to movie and animation industry . They are not at all gamer friendly studio neither there engine had any gaming friendly aspects . Because just graphics didn't determine the game but the story and gameplay , where graphics are just like icing on the cake where real developers are those who produce a mix all of these three ingredients .

They should make PC exclusive. Problem solve

ya to multiplatform ko PC per develop karain our baad mein console per port karain.

All CryEngine video game developed by licensees were kind of underwhelming to look at.
Crytek needs to provide simpler toolset, better support and stuff. They've been in the market for more than 10 years now.

This excuse won't work anymore. Next-gen consoles are based on the X86 architecture. What's more, the Xbox One uses the same API i.e. DirectX. It's essentially a fixed PC config now. Even if Crytek makes a PC exclusive, they'll at least need to get it working on all sorts of PC configs.

This.

Lack of accessibility is a significant drawback when it comes to CryEngine's toolset.

is se koi farq nahi parta. 1 saal baad phir xbox one our PC mein generation ka farq aajayega.

our dosri baat yeh hai ke console per jub develop kia jaata hai to controller per build kia jaata hai. jabke PC per ho to keyboard/mouse.

Bulls-eye, you nailed it man, stupid numskulls which form the monstrosity named Crytec should be banned from making pc games and sent to elementary school again.

 

[sufi]

Very very impressive but once again .. Just keep spending on your cards

PC games aren't just designed to run on high-end PCs. They need to perform reasonably well on a variety of recent as well as older hardware. Therefore, making the game PC-exclusive would make no difference whatsoever.
