'CryEngine 3 coming to Linux, Crytek looking for a Linux programmer to work on it'.

Sounds like a good idea to me.

Question is: will we see any Crysis game on it or not? Pretty interesting that Crytek wants to support that OS at this timeframe though (especially after the Steambox Linux rumors)

It would be interesting to see the total sales numbers for games on Linux as it has a small install base but good to see developers looking to support it.

I really want to see a Crysis 4 with all the ray-tracing & path-tracing effects. It would be a shame if they canceled the project. Maybe they could do a kickstarter?

DF
" Crysis is something of a tentpole game series for us at Digital Foundry, with a reputation for being an early adopter of graphics technologies that would later define entire generations of PC and console video games. That includes the likes of screen-space ambient occlusion, sub-surface scattering and ray-marched volumetric lighting, but you could write volumes about just how ground-breaking that first game was "

I really hope they come out and push the industry forward like they used to. I miss old crytek

PrinceOfAnger372d ago

They all look disappointed by this news especially Alex

Pretty sad that the studio that gave us a monumental game like Crysis is now subsisting on microtransactions from a live service PVPVE game.

Why'd the day start with such sad gaming news?
Absolutely disheartening.

Jingsing380d ago

Maybe putting The Power Rangers in Hunt Showdown will get you some money back. (sarcasm)

Kassanova07380d ago

I'm always rooting for Crytek.
