Not a single week without more layoffs s announced

Crysis 4 seemed like a way to diversify prrofits and perhaps bring back some well-earned respect to the company and engine after years of not getting it post-Ryse. Without that in the interrim... yeah not sure. But I am no expert. I just know Crysis 1 is one of my favourite games of all time.

Hopefully Cryengine will get some well deserved love now, when KCD2 showed it can look, perform and scale really well.

having a real high end alternative to Unreal would be great. Unity is fine, HDRP is interesting but it's not the same as Unreal. I hope CryEngine gets some love but it seems like not many devs are familiar with it.

Maybe with UE problems (shader compilation, traversal stutter etc.) still unresolved more devs will warm up to Cryengine. One can dream.

Yes, the flora of KCD2 is incredible, even on slow hardware like the Steam Deck it looks stunning and performs well. Unfortunately everybody today only uses Unreal Engine.

Indeed but, for a Crysis entry to be considered proper it has to be a technological marvel of sorts, above all that stands by a decent margin. I think the studio is trying to keep it lean to be able to pull it off. Crysis is their top IP after all, it cannot afford for it to do poorly.

Future of just being a joke in NVIDIA keynotes that makes everyone cringe?

I hope the same. Crysis 1 has always been one of my inspirations. I still use some vegetation techniques from it , they published so many articles on rendering after that
