I read this write up on the UE4 forums, makes me not even want to try out the new CryEngine. Source: https://forums.unrealengine.com/showthread.php?7344-Crytek-s-CryEngine&p=61190&viewfull=1#post61190
I've bought a one month sub and going to give it a whirl. But the lack of documentation/tutorials/release notes is slightly worrying. As much as I love using CryEngine, I may crawl back to UE4 if the support isn't there.
Lacking the flexibility to create custom materials, and let alone something like UE4 Blueprints. Seems a bit of a drawback. Sure, CE is pretty and never tends to fall short of. But lack of custom user experience just seems to have made CE appear to have been poisoning itself. IMO
@ Tan don't expect to much.... the cryengine was always my favorite engine but since the unreal engine 4 release, i just switched the engines... I just couldn't belive how amazing the UE4 forum is.... developers are listening to the subsribers.... it was like jesus... whats going on here... is this real.... Cryengine gives…
Crysis 3 was fantastic, you're really doing yourself a disservice by not finishing it. Warface is pay to win garbage. Mediocre games? Sure, Warface isn't great, Ryse had bad gameplay I hear, but the Crysis series is solid. Crytek has been indifferent towards indies to an almost apathetic degree though, and that is…
What a steaming pile of bullshit coming from Carl Jones, it's ridiculous - it's like he's trying to imply that Epic have no control over how the engine develops and that they're holding back features just for themselves. After slating UE4 for having an "open source model", he then contradicts himself by saying that the…
If the new version has PBR, I'll download it straight away to try it out. I'll probably get it anyway, considering I really love the free SDK, and I figure this'll be an improved version of that. Not sure what all the hate here is about. Sure, it isn't as open as UE4, or as good of a deal, but it's another engine to put…
I think a subscription will benefit serious developers for sure, but the only thing I hate is the fact that somebody who isn't serious about using CryEngine (like myself) will get turned off at the idea of not getting any updates. I don't plan to develop a project with CE despite the fact that it's an incredible engine,…
Prolly not much. I know about PBR. Honestly. This release is so vague, that I can only wonder that it was like "Holy shit! Guys! It's end of the month and we are supposed to launch EaaS, this month! Do something!. Now!" On other sides it lacks access to full source code. And that is actually very big deal. You can solve…
The Ryse team had support. Try using Maya with the current FreeSDK and get back to me. I'm still trying to get it to export simple animation. Getting character animation into the engine with anything but Max seems like this arcane exercise. The first 2 releases in the 3.5 series had a completely broken Maya exporter. Also,…
