"Crysis 3 – Hunter Edition" will be the next release title to use CryEngine 3 from German development studio Crytek. The game is intended to be released at the end of February for PC, Xbox 360 and PS3. At the Crysis 3 Community Day, Crytek presented the current features that have been added to CryEngine.
Crytek is extremely proud of the new CryEngine 3 and therefore devoted a half-hour presentation by developer Sean Tracy to it at the Crysis 3 Community Day, which recently took place in Frankfurt. The new CryEngine 3 is intended to improve the game’s graphical and physical effects in particular.
This is intended to concern fluid reflections and the behaviour of light in particular; almost cinematic effects are now intended to be achievable. All the features shown are intended to be integrated into CryEngine 3 with the next SDK update and thus, of course, also into "Crysis 3". You can see all the details and improvements in CryEngine 3 here in full length – almost 30 minutes:
In the upcoming DP issue, you will find an article by our author Rainer Duda on pathfinding in computer games using the CryEngine 3 SDK as an example.
