Yeah that too.

Furthermore, whilst this is just a guy having some awesome fun with tons of cool stuff, there'd no need to make a Cryengine game first person based - if anything SERIOUS would ever come off of this. Last time I checked Cryengine is quite capable of rendering character models too,
arguably a wee bit moreso than any adventure game engine on the market right now. An engine is a renderer, no idea where people get the idea from that it comes with some pre-determined point of view. Or something.
Epic's Unreal engines have been amongst the most often licensed 3d engines for years now. Take a look at all the projects that were done with the current build:
http://www.mobygames.com/game-group/...-unrealengine3 They even did a
Mortal Kombat vs DC characters game with this, for cripe's sake! And in terms of style, go take a look at what
Epics own Unreal3 game looks like, and compare that to
American McGee's Grimm games. Both are done utilizing the same 3d engine. Each engine comes with its set of strenghts, but from there on, it's really all up to the artist and where he wants to go.

Crysis is a game that was meant to cater to not only machines of yesteryear and current setups when it was released two years ago, but those of a future age as well. So with really all the pizzaz enabled in the graphics options, there's no doubt it can prove a challenge even for contemporary rigs still. But on the whole, every current bog-standard entry level computer should be able to run this like it looks in this video - at least if the computer is not running one of those onboard video chips. You wouldn't buy a computer like that if you ever wanted to do 3d gaming on it anyway. Would you?
As a point of reference, Crysis demo looks and runs pretty fine on a <50€ processor and vid card, tested. And prices are dropping by the minute. Even onboard video is getting better, albeit slowly. It's not hard to see where everything's heading.
Still, this is a fun project. Chill. And enjoy the fireworks.
Talking about first person adventure games, anybody played this?
