Crysis 3 on PC question

fattkid

So I'm learning up on the Cryengine, and I'm wondering if I were to buy & install Crysis 3 on my pc - does it come with the CryEngine editor? Or will I be able to open and play with Crysis assets/content in my already installed CryEngine?

I'd like to poke around in their game and see how they have done things.

Crysis 3 doesn't have an SDK and the .pak files can't be opened with winrar either.
The free Cryengine 3 SDK supposedly comes with all the features that are in Crysis 3 though.

Crysis 2 does have an SDK though.

Thanks Ark.

So if I install Crysis 2, it will come with an editor, so I can open up Crysis 2 assets and see how they are made/put together etc?

Basically I want to learn up on CryEngine by opening Crysis assets etc and reverse engineering them and see how they did thngs.

I'm guessing that the editor that comes with Crysis 2 is CryEngine 2, and not CryEngine 3? If so, how much difference is there between CE 2 and CE 3? Not too much, or has a lot changed etc?

Thanks again.

Just download the free CE3 SDK and get stuck in:

You get the forest level with it which is more than enough to contend with !

Goodluck

Yeah if you get Crysis 2, you can get the Crysis 2 SDK from the crydev site and open the Crysis 2 levels.

Crysis 2 is based on Cryengine 3 so it's the same Editor as what comes with the free SDK.

Everyone else already answered the main questions, but no, the free SDK doesn't have anything from Crysis 3. If I remember correctly from GDC, whenever 3.5 comes to the free SDK, it'll will include the new updates and Crysis 3 assets. I thought it was soon, but 3.4 just came out in February I think.

Awesome. Thanks for teh answers as well as the link about CE 3.5 and the Crysis 3 assets.

I really appreciate your help and will most likely be back again in the near future

Soon means (it was said about 1.5 month ago), that we will get 3.5 maybe, MAYBE in August.
Of course i Cloud be wrong and it will be June but i wouldn't hold hopes high.

Thanks iniside. Either way, good to know.
