CRYENGINE from Crytek Announces Official Linux Support Ahead Of GDC

By - | Views: 53,518
CRYENGINE one of the most advanced game engines around powering a ton of games has finally announced official Linux support, so Crytek how about some Crysis on Linux?

More likely is that we could see their free online FPS "Warface" get ported, as that is what they are focusing on right now (apart from Mobile).

QuoteDuring presentations and hands-on demos at Crytek's GDC booth, attendees can see for the first time ever full native Linux support in the new CRYENGINE.

"The press release says that CRYENGINE(all caps) was ported but didn't mention CryEngine 3."

Exactly. Since the latest release of the engine it no longer has version numbers. It's only CRYENGINE (all caps). So when they talk about CRYENGINE they mean CryEngine 4(+), not 3 or 2 or 1. Which of course doesn't mean that at least CryEngine 3 games couldn't be ported. But it would require the devs to move the game(s) from version 3 to CRYENGINE.

Right now Crysis 3 is origin only.
Origin is written in Qt, which runs on Linux.
Yeah but it doesn't mean that they will make a Linux client.
You want a Origin Client? It's not worth it. EVER

I'm more interested in seeing new games come out for Linux rather than old ports on this engine and I expect Steam will fill up with Cryengine games soon enough.
I never said I wanted an origin client. I probably wouldnt use it.
