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:

    http://www.crydev.net/dm_eds/download_detail.php?id=4

    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.

    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.
