Έχω πει πολλές φορές ότι η CryEngine 2 είναι από τις καλύτερες μηχανές γραφικών που έχουν βγει τα τελευταία χρόνια.

Αρκετοί βιάστηκαν να κατακρίνουν συγκεκριμένους τομείς της, που δεν έχουν καμία σχέση με την δύναμη της μηχανής, όπως το art design του Crysis. Έχει ο καιρός γυρίσματα όμως…

Νομίζω ότι δεν χρειάζεται να κάνω ιδιαίτερη αναφορά στο Monkey Island, καθώς οι περισσότεροι το γνωρίζετε. Αναρωτηθήκατε όμως πώς θα ήταν το δεύτερο μέρος του σε τρισδιάστατο περιβάλλον;[next]

More Monkey Island for you. This time an enterprising pirate named Loneclone has recreated a small section of Monkey Island 2 using the awesomely good looking Cryengine 2, which as any gamer will tell you powers Crysis the game that made 1,000 graphics cards cry.

What Loneclone has done is taken the original 2D artwork and “projected” it into the sandbox editor, so from a certain angle it looks like the original only in super beautiful 3D. The illusion is kinda broken when viewed from elsewhere, but as a concept it’s brilliant. Sadly this has been done for fun only so will never see the light of day as a proper release. But it brought a smile to my face this evening, so I had to share.

Anyway, click “read more” for a video and a screenshot.

UPDATE: Rock, Paper, Shotgun has a great run down of this, and even better videos. Check it out.

I’m so excited about the new cryengine update, and this video showcases it pretty well, enjoy the video!

   Como grande fã da Cryengine, imbatível desde 2007, não posso deixar de mencionar este pequeno teste preliminar feito por um (desconhecido pra mim) Tehdaza, que por sinal é um grande fã de Team Fortress 2, assim como eu.



   A conclusão que o Tehdaza chegou é que a Cryengine 3 nos consoles é equivalente a Cryengine 2 do PC quando no Medium Settings (nível de detalhes gráficos configurados para mediano).

   Se você acompanha esta evolução tecnológica, é interessante assistir, visto que os argumentos apresentados no vídeo são bem sólidos, apesar de amadores.

   Óbvio, a plataforma PC já é superior desde que os consoles nasceram em 2005/2006. Basta o hardware correto (e muito dinheiro) e seu PC é a próxima geração.

   Mas com certeza a Cryengine 3 será um avanço para a tecnologia da atual geração de consoles. Esperem algo surpreendente para Crysis 2, em produção.

Epic claims that we’ll have full photorealism in 10 years. Crytek is supposed to have approached photorealism with their Cryengine 2. But what’s the point? We’re going to run into a wall – the day we actually reach photorealism. What will we have then? A game that looks gorgeous but doesn’t play as well as it could have.

Where else could improvements be made? AI, phyiscs, load times, animations, and pathfinding are things that I can think of right now off the top of my head. And on top of that, what about frustrating game gimmicks like doors that don’t do anything at all or arbitrary limitations that make no sense (Altair not being able to swim, for example… don’t you think that a highly trained assassin would have to at least be able to stay afloat in water?).

I don’t have a problem with gorgeous graphics. But why does it have to be the same drab look for every game?

What about games like Okami or Shadow of the Colossus or Legend of Zelda? I loved playing games that looked different like that.

More than that the parts of games I appreciated most were when things behaved like they should. When it comes to photorealistic games, a door that can’t be broken down with a rocket launcher or grass and shrubs that don’t give to your movements or walls that don’t do anything when shot just ruin any sense of immersion. Even in a clearly fantasy (wait a minute and you’ll see what I mean) game like Halo where regardless of any “realism” there is many fantasy elements (Plasma weaponry, and hey you can’t forget the needler) exist and behave like you’d think they should. I remember a moment where one of my friends and I were playing a deathmatch game and we tossed plasma grenades at each other… and my friend died in a suicide. We watched the video of that moment and it turns out the grenade I threw stuck his grenade and they both landed on him with his grenade attaching to him… thus leading to a suicide. In context of the game, this made sense and it was AMAZING! Moments happening naturally like that are so rare these days.

Reaching for photorealism is nice but if the industry loses sight of other aspects of games that make them fun in an attempt to one-up each other the gamers are the ones that lose out. We’ll get gorgeous games that will look like real life but play like N64 or PS games. While we’ve made great leaps in graphics over the past few generations but things like pathfinding are pretty much the same. There are gems each generation that shine brilliantly yet get overlooked under the viciously blinding assault of increasing bloom effects.

In the future I want games that learn from the past. Far Cry has an open world that I like – no random enemy spawning (at least, that I’m aware of). Nintendo console games (especially the Metroid series) have great ways to hide loading times that don’t become obnoxious (like in Mass Effect). There are just… so many things that have already been accomplished! Why must we backstep in other areas to reach so hard for something that’s inevitably a dead end road anyway?

Think about it. Once we hit photorealism, what’s next for graphics? What’s more realistic than what we see in real life?

In einem Wettbewerb wurden die Mitglieder des Game Artist Forums gebeten schon exsistierende Filmszenen mit der Unreal Engine 3.0 und CryEngine 2 umzusetzen.Die fertigen Settings sind mega geil! Die Games brauche ich sofort!.

CryENGINE 3

Still can’t play your Crysis on Full settings? Or even medium settings? Well, you’re about to be blown away because Crytec has announced their new game engine already.

So this new engine, successor to the CryENGINE 2 is going to be called CryENGINE 3 (how creative!). It is claimed to be readily compatible for current generation hardware (such as the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360), but it is also capable of use on the next generation, using “scalable computation and graphics for all major upcoming platforms”.

I’m personally excited, CryENGINE 2 leaves me speechless, it’s graphics are almost photo realistic. CryENGINE 3 will probably be even more amazing, though it will take a monster of a computer to play it, or even a workstation -_-’.

A direção geral da CryTek, que comprou a Free Radical, confirmou que a empresa irá se tornar agora a CryTek UK, já que fica na Inglaterra.

“A Free Radical Design é uma grande adição para a CryTek e sua cultura, devido ao histórico desta empresa em fazer jogos de grande qualidade,” disse o chefe da CryTek Avni Yerli.

“A cominação deste time com a rede CryTek e a nossa CryENGINE vai ser a fundação de fantásticas experiências para os jogadores com o melhor talento da Inglaterra.”

I know we have been doing alot of versus post, I will tone it down a bit, dont worry.

These seem to be all the rage in the FPS world but which one is better its up to you to decide, post a comment with your opinion and thoughts. Crysis definitely wins in graphics, gameplay, mods, AI. In my opinion Crysis is the winner no contest, but what do you think?
See What Call Of Duty 4 is here.
See What Crysis is here.

Hablando de First Person Shooters (FPS) hemos llegado a ver bastantes juegos. Teniendo juegos de terror como Doom 3 hasta aquellos donde controlas un cyborg militar extremadamente bueno en combate como en halo, hemos recorrido un mundo de FPS. Todos y cada uno de ellos nos brindan la experiencia de ponernos en los ojos de un tipo que tiene la actitud de agarrar una pistola eh ir contra los “badies” del mundo, pero a veces esto se vuelve aburrido y no sale de la monotonia. Pero crysis nos trae una nueva manera de jugar FPS.

Crysis nos da un nuevo tipo de FPS en el cual el ambiente puede interactuar con nosotros. De seguro se han de estar preguntando que se puede hacer. Veran en cualquier FPS uno tiene que asumir el papel del heroe o villano que solo le interesa volar cabezas. Entonces cuando disparas a una pared o un coche parece que tu pistola con calibre para atrevesar un tanque no sirve para nada. Pero en crysis eso cambia, tu tienes la capacidad de usar el ambiente a tu favor. Un ejemplo claro en crysis es la posibilidad de tirar un arbol a disparos y hacer que este aplaste a tus enemigos. Todo esto se puede ver al principio en un video de intro, donde vemos a nuestro héroe, aplastando enemigos, volando hummers, disparando a llantas y usando a enemigos como escudo humanos.

Todo el escenario es interactivo dando una nueva sensacion de jugar como nunca antes se habia visto. El juego es impresionantemente atractivo al ojo, por todas sus graficas. Incluso recibio en el 2007 premios gracias a sus graficas impresionantes.

Ahora si hablamos de la manera de juego, empezemos hablando del héroe principal. Tu tomas el rol de NOMAD (nomada) el cual es un agente especial de los Estados Unidos. Eres parte de un equipo especial de asalto el cual estan equipados con trajes llamados NANOSUITS. Los nansuits que valen miles de millones de dolares permiten a quien lo use, usar diferentes habilidades como es la super fuerza, super velocidad, maxima armadura e invisibilidad. Tu tienes la ventaja de usar todo esto a tu favor para asi acabar en una isla koreana, tratando de investigar diferentes sucesos que pasan. Al parecer los koreanos estan investigando una gran fuente de poder.

Los koreanos son un grupo dificil de vencer, aunque ellos no tienen tus fabolusos nanosuits, ellos cuentan con entrenamiento militar, bodyarmors y suficiente armas como para hacer un infierno cualquier lugar que esten. Entonces en el juego tu ves como los koreanos se enfrentan a ti y sobre todo entre mas sea el nivel de dificultad, mayor es el reto. Esto es porque los koreanos en el nivel mas dificil hablan koreano y el juego no te avisa cosas importante como cuando lanzan granadas o se acerca un tanque.

Para todo esto tienes que usar tu nanosuit y sacarle todo el jugo posible. Pero lo que mas diferencia este FPS de los otros es que con todas las armas que tienes y el ambiente a tu favor, puedes jugar como todo un rambo epico o jugar como un agente en cubierto y realizar tus misiones siendo invisible. Entonces el mundo de crysis te permite jugar como tu quieres.

En verdad les digo que este juego lo recomiendo. Se encuentra entre mis juegos que se deberian jugar y ha sacado muy buenas criticas.

EA and Crytek have officially announced Crysis Warhead today, teased yesterday via CrysisTheGame.com. Developed with a focus on story and game performance, Warhead isn’t so much a sequel as it is a parallel story, told from the point of view of Sergeant Sykes, codenamed Psycho. He’ll have his hands full on the other side of the island while Nomad is doing his thing. New weapons and vehicles will be at his disposal, and the game will also feature new multiplayer content

“We were very pleased with the reception of Crysis from both gamers and media after our launch last year,” said Cevat Yerli, CEO and President of Crytek. “That being said, one of the key principles of our studio is to always raise the bar. With Warhead, we are focusing on refining our storytelling and game performance, while also delivering more of the visually stunning graphics and immersive, free-roaming gameplay everyone loved in Crysis.”

The game is the first to be developed at Crytek’s new Budapest Studio using an enhanced version of the CryENGINE 2 tech. Read the full release after the jump.

EA and Crytek Announce Development of Crysis Warhead
The Next Installment of One of the Highest Rated Games of 2007 Blasts Its Way Onto PCs This Fall

REDWOOD CITY, Calif.—(BUSINESS WIRE)—Maximum freedom, maximum explosions and maximum Psycho! Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ:ERTS) and award-winning independent studio Crytek today announced Crysis Warhead® – the parallel story to Crysis, one of the most critically-acclaimed first person shooters and PC games of 2007. Shipping exclusively for the PC this fall, Crysis Warhead is the first title to be developed at Crytek’s Budapest studio, and is built on a new, enhanced and optimized version of Crytek’s CryENGINE® 2 technology.

“We were very pleased with the reception of Crysis from both gamers and media after our launch last year,” said Cevat Yerli, CEO and President of Crytek. “That being said, one of the key principles of our studio is to always raise the bar. With Warhead, we are focusing on refining our storytelling and game performance, while also delivering more of the visually stunning graphics and immersive, free-roaming gameplay everyone loved in Crysis.”

“The best result of a partnership that we can ask for in the EA Partners program is when a world class independent studio like Crytek chooses to continue to work with us,” said David DeMartini, Vice President and Global General Manager, EA Partners. “Crysis was an amazing game and is going to be a blockbuster franchise. We could not be more excited to be working with Crytek to launch another hit with Crysis Warhead this year.”

In Crysis Warhead, players will don the Nanosuit of Sergeant Sykes, also known as ‘Psycho’, one of the most memorable characters from Crysis. More brash and aggressive than his Delta Force squadmate Nomad, players will experience Psycho’s parallel story during the events of the original game, finding that life on the other side of the island is even more intense and explosive than they ever could have imagined. Luckily, Psycho’s Nanosuit is just as capable and he’s equipped with an even bigger arsenal of fully customizable weapons and new vehicles, giving players access to the tools they need to dominate any situation. Aside from this new, exciting single player campaign, Crysis Warhead will also feature new multiplayer content. Stay tuned for more details this summer.

Crysis Warhead has not yet been rated by the ESRB or PEGI. For more information about the game, please visit www.crysisthegame.com.

Hace un par de dìas, Crytek anunció que no haría más parches para Crysis, y hoy, la pñagian oficial de Crysis ha sido actualizada con una imágen anunciando Crysis Warhead, que se espera sea la siguiente entrega del disparador en primera persona futurístico de Crytek. Pero no se dieron a conocer más detalles, tales como fecha de salida o plataformas.

Crysis fue anunciado como el primer capítulo de una trilogía, y Crytek se dio la libertad de registrar varios nombres como Crysis Wars, Crysis Annihilation, World in Crysis y Crysis Warhead, lo cual podría inficar varios spin-offs además de la trilogía ya anunciada.

“Juegos similares [a Crysis] venderían de 4 a 5 veces más,” comentó Cevat Yerli, presidente de Crytek, cuando anunció que su compañía dejaría de hacer juegos exclusivos para PC. “Creo que no habrán más títulos exclusivos como lo fue Crysis.

Además de esto, se saba que Crysis tiene las manos ocupadas en más de un juego para consola, además de tener casi lista la adaptación del CryENGINE 2 para las máquinas de Sony, Microsoft y hasta Wii.

Hace un par de años, Oblivion nos dio una probadita de lo que era la “Siguiente Generacion”, a finales del año pasado Crysis nos golpeo en la cara con graficos impresionantes.

Hoy, alguien se dio la tarea de recrear algunas locaciones del mundo de Oblivion en el CryEngine 2.

Aunque parezca descabellado, Harald Seeley, Gerente de Negocios del Crytek, espera que la versión para las consolas del CryEngine 2 “Se vean tan bién como si estuvieran corriendo en “Alto” o muy cerca a lo “Más alto” en al configuración en una PC”

“Tendremos que  adecuar el motor gráfico para cada plataforma”, añadió Harald “porque más que simplemente una diferencia entre el Procesador y las capacidades del video de Hardware entre una PC y una consola, muchas cosas entran en juego. Por ejemplo hay menor tamaño en memoria con la que debemos trabajar, la falta del disco duro en algunos modelos [de 360], etc, que tendrán un efecto en cómo nos acercaremos a cada versión del motor.”

“Además, lo sorprendente es lo bien que las consolas pueden disponer de los elementos visuales una vez que se ha adecuado el motor para cada una. Esperamos que el resultado final sea muy similar a lo que se vería en las configuraciones “alta” o muy cercano al “Muy altas” en una PC. De hecho hemos encontrado mucho más demandante el manejar las limitantes de memoria en las consolas para convertir el sistema de Inteligencia Artificial, así como cuando lo hicimos con el motor de renderos o el sistema de físicas.”

Crysis is the upcoming new FPS from EA and it sports some pretty awesome features and makes some pretty large promises. The CryENGINE 2 engine that runs the game looks amazing and can run on pretty mediocre systems. 32 player games are promised as well giving it some great online multi player. You can operate a wide variety of vehicles as well.

Crysis is top on my list of the next generation games that will have a huge impact on their respective genre. Check it out it comes out Nov. 16, 2007.
