Crytek Move To Support CRYENGINE Indie Development With Million-Dollar Dev Fund

If you use CRYENGINE and you want some support your time to act is running out.

Well that's really good news for Indie devs using CryEngine.

On a tangent notice, I get so sad to see Crytek struggling so much. After Crysis1, they have yet to launch a legit good game which made them money and respect. Good luck on your VR endeavors Crytek.

Always felt a bit bad for these guys around the launch of the first Crysis, they were trying to push for advances in games graphics but they got clobbered by gamers that wanted to run the game on max, even though Crytek specifically said 'you're not supposed to max it on current hardware', instead gamers were supposed to find their own sweet spot in terms of performance and visuals.

Just make another Crysis 1 game, huge open world with many, many options hownto approach an objective. That and some nice eye-candy.

I understand that most people (esp. PC gamers) prefer Crysis 1, but I personally liked Crysis 2 way better. Yes yes, I know the world was less open-ended than the first one, but it was still semi-open most of the time, and had an impressive look and atmosphere to boot, thanks in part to Hans Zimmer's score, and the VO of that suit, and the locations, and...I found it all around much more badass than Crysis 1.

On topic, it's nice to see a dev allot funds (a whopping 1,000,000$?!) to indie devs using their engine!
Is it common? I mean, Epic for instance, do they do that with the Unreal engine?

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster921h ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
