More job opportunities for game developers, and with such a great studio. Sounds like awesome news.
REDengine 3 can be so damn pretty. I can't wait to see what else comes of it.
That's pretty nice, but I think it'll have plenty of trouble competing with the behemoth that is the Unreal Engine, which besides supporting a wide variety of games and platforms, also has a very user friendly developer tools. Even the [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:CryEngine_games]list of games that are build on the CryEngine[/url] is dwarfed by [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Unreal_Engine_games]Unreal's list[/url].

[QUOTE=Dr.C;39996515]Isn't that because cryengine is ridiculously expensive to license and UE3 is free?[/QUOTE] UE3 is free? UDK is free, but the license for UE3 can't be free. How would Epic do that.
[QUOTE=Brt5470;39999608]UE3 is free? UDK is free, but the license for UE3 can't be free. How would Epic do that.[/QUOTE] It's free up until you earn a certain amount from sales if I'm not mistaken.
[QUOTE=Sir Whoopsalot;39999620]It's free up until you earn a certain amount from sales if I'm not mistaken.[/QUOTE] Free for non-commercial, $99 for a commercial license but after you earn $50k Epic will take 25% of profits recieved on top of that amount as royalties. Then you can license the full engine and I dunno the cost of that, it's always different.
