Entropia Gets Really Real! CryEngine Suspends the Disbelief.


Check out this TechCrunch piece about Entropia Universe using CryEngine. CryEngine is just amazing. Look closely at that jungle, and the light filtering through. As well, check out the ocean! I am waiting for the day I can surf in Entropia!
The demos I have seen really blow my mind and the many features it brings will enhance Entropia Universe tremendously. Players are already getting excited. So am I.
CryEngine is made in Germany, so you can imagine that it’s precise and top-notch with that German engineering. You can see more photos in the press release on Market Wire. A video showing CryENGINE 2 in action is available here: ftp://ftp1.entropiauniverse.com/movies/cryengine2.wmv (150 mb). If you can’t get it to work that way, go to ftp://ftp1.entropiauniverse.com/movie and download it first, then view it… Things are moving quickly, and in the right direction, at Entropia Universe, to say the least.
The CryEngine editor is amazing, too. Imagine the impact this will have on development cycles. Here is a 2 part demonstration of the CryEngine2 Level Editor: Part 1 and Part 2. This will blow your mind, particularly if you’ve developed games and/or virtual worlds.

Very impressive. How will the folks at Second Life compete?
