Not a fan, never played Gravity Rush 1. Nier is a fantastic game though. Also, I'm getting blown away by how good Homefront looks and runs on the Pro. It's a shame Digital Foundry never revisited the game after it got it's Pro patch, would have loved to see the humongous improvement it is over the OG and XB1 version stated in their videos.

CryEngine is phenomenal, not enough games use it.

Apart from Battlefield 1, I don't think any shooter comes close to Crysis 3 maxed out. Crytek could make decent money porting over the trilogy to Pro/Scorpio (esp Crysis 2 & 3) so console gamers can truly appreciate how far ahead Crytek was back in the day.

The engine's CPU heavy nature though is why it's failed to gain traction on XB1 and PS4 (OG) so cause the CPUs are pretty weak. Pro and Scorpio should be well capable of running Cry Engine 3 games in their full glory. Regardless of the quality of the "game", it's certainly a great technical showpiece on the Pro.

The issue isnt with the engine itself but the support from Crytek and tutorials/ guides/community around it..which is horrible..I used crytek and had to run all around internet to get grips to some extent.

Star citizen is being made on CryEngine but they couldnt get development going due to the low number of experienced cryengine developers, instead as soon as crytek as a company started to suffer, they hired nearly all ex-crytek engineers

Agreed. Crysis 3 is still, to this day, the best looking FPS I've played so far.

- Improved texture appearance
- More texture memory (stable streaming)
- Anisotropy 16x (from 4x)
- Improved visual fidelity
- Less LOD usage
- Dynamic lights show up further

Uhhhh no, Pro defintely cannot run Crysis 3 in all its glory. Unless you go Medium/High at 1800c30 or Very High at 1440p30. It would still be a revelatory experience compared to last gen though.

Prey is aesthetically beautiful but not the strongest case for CryEngine's capabilities.

Homefront on consoles uses around the max PC settings based on DF's comparison of the OG PS4 and XB1 and after the Pro patch it runs at 1440p with a rock solid 30 FPS. High settings at 1440p even at a locked 30 should be pretty damn impressive for Crysis 3.. Currently I have no interest in Prey because the game just seems like Bioshock lite, maybe I'm doing it a disservice by calling it that .. but eh ..

Finished Nier. GREAT GREAT GREAT game. Probably the most heart strings pulled by a game since MGS3's ending. Tech wise, not the best 'looker', but a solid 1080p/60 FPS experience and great art. Game has 26 endings (one for each letter of the alphabet) and A through E are all 'real', the rest are joke endings. Finished all five major endings.

As some articles say, this is probably a much better contender for 'are games art' than the Team Ico games, because the shit this game does are only possible in video games. The way the game uses your saved data, game's end-credits, even the time you spend in settings to construct the story, holy shit ... some REAL thought went into it.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
