CryEngine 3 SDK Coming in the Summer

GT: Cinema tools, real-time rendering with motion capture and a variety of titles can be achieved with CryEngine 3.

A rendering engineer from Crytek touches on a few points regarding CryEngine 3 licensing, and reveals that a free version of the CryEngine 3 SDK will be available for PC users in the summer of 2011.

Just a reminder that CE3 Sandbox != CE3 SDK.

The CE3 Sandbox will likely be available on day one with the game and allows you to make your own maps and all that stuff; the SDK is more for developing whole game, and is Crytek's way of competing with Epic's UDK.

I just want more developers switching to the CryEngine 3 cause the Unreal engine is so LAME!

seriously how many plastic and play-doh looking games do we need.

theonlylolking5571d ago

I agree. All that has been updated from gears 2 to gears 3 is the lighting(that is what epic said around E3).
Since they say that is what has been updated from gears 2 then cryengine 3 needs to be in more games now.

tdrules5571d ago

according to people who acquired the beta there was a sandbox in place in that build

Thanks Crytek. Hopefully some people can make some mods for C2 to get back power struggle :)

Tachyon_Nova5571d ago

Itll happen pretty quickly I'd reckon. They can import CE2 levels into CE3 Sandbox Editor which does cause some issues but nothing that can't be fixed quickly.

x8005571d ago

omg yes yes YES!

BUT what does he mean by a free version of cryengine 3?
cryengine 3 with limited things?

xtremexx5571d ago

nah, its free, but you can only make the game and distribute, you cannot sell. im pretty sure thats how it works

hassi945571d ago

Basically you have all the tools that Crytek have, but you cannot sell anything you make unless you buy a full license from Crytek.

x8005571d ago

like WhiteNouse said, why wouldnt they ship it with the game when the game lets loose even though they already have the engine. something is not right.

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.

Jingsing35d ago

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….

S2Killinit35d ago

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

Jingsing35d ago

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.

Tanktopmaster9235d 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
