CryEngine2: GDC 2008 Cam Demo 2

[krouton]

I got so f*cking scared by the sound at the end

[madjimms]

Why wasn't GTA IV built with this awesome game engine!?!?!

I want my money back =(

[MichaelBradley1988]

because they couldn't put the cryengine on console, it was too bulky for consoles to handle

cryengine 3 is now on consoles

it still only limited to directx 9 and fake directx 10 prehaps ( who knows )

however - the great thing about cryengine 3 is FINALY no more unreal 3 engine, no more dull green and browns!

so YES thank fuck cryengine 3 is one consoles! Woot woot!

[madjimms]

Actually, I was speaking of the PC version as consoles you can't multitask on =)

[MichaelBradley1988]

sorry - i replyed with consoles in mind AGAIN lol

[MichaelBradley1988]

but yeah, no cryengine for GTA4 is sad

[Ancalagon94]

It got Euphoria though, which in my eyes is alot better engine

[madjimms]

Eh, I don't "love" it.

[Ancalagon94]

Have I said so?

[lx45803]

Euphoria isn't really an engine, it's a middleware component used to provide dynamic character animation. GTA IV runs on RAGE, Rockstar Advanced Game Engine. If they really wanted to, Crytek could license Euphoria and add it to CryEngine, but knowing them, they'd want to do it all in house, and they'd probably do it a bit better.

[Ancalagon94]

It's better than ragdoll physics

[lx45803]

Oh, no question about that. I just wanted to clarify. :)

[poloboo911]

euphoria is made by the same company that makes endorphin.. its dynamic motion synthesis.. doesnt require animation and has far more potential that ragdoll physics.. crytek are propably already developing their own in house version to implement in the next cryengine

[bf2modsde]

@Ancalagon94 Dude, Euphoria is physics only!

[Ancalagon94]

D'oh, my bad. Sorry don't know why I mixed that up...

But can't remember commenting this video before, I think I wrote those comments on a Euphoria video...

[LockheedC130]

Woah I was shocked @2:29 when the music gets so damn loud!

[illmagnified]

The end with what looked like the inner workings of a clock- those graphics looks like they are full CGI. Amazing, i rmember back when i first saw the Final Fantasy CGI's i always wondered if PC games were ever going to get that amazing visually. And they have far surpassed those days of FF7 CGI cut scenes im glad to say.

[yadda101]

I can't wait for GI, WOO

[ghosthunter2006]

god. can you imagine what's next???

[pawciolski]

gta 5 :D :P

[VincentHadden]

I was thinking the same thing.

[hollowinichigo]

very nice engine if only rockstar made gta with this engine it would have been so awsome though hard to run

[InsaneChris143]

rockstar should pair up with crytek and make an awesome gta 5!

[FreezeProduct]

Yeah...that would be awesome...no, more then awesome ^^

[OGMO11]

no, you are understating... there is simply no word for it so dont try :P

[FreezeProduct]

Haahaha, that's the truth people !

[slashnpraise]

technically, they wouldn't have to pair up. Rockstar would just have to purchase a license for use of the engine :p

[thebizzlehimself]

SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT! That would be incredible...

[Commenter580]

@InsaneChris143

poor crytek



[h3odesign]

Thats exactly the point! reflections is life..dead and artificial for me..desole

[1337H0E]

some years ago you couldnt do anything like that in real time - massive scenes, really impressive. strange they didnt show any reflections

[PlanckLimit]

Hmm. City environments. I wonder if this demo video has any bearing on Crytek's next major project. ;)

[jakass505]

cool
