 Technical Discussion: Doom Engine, Source, and CryEngine.. - Beyond3D Forum
The CryEngine is a bit different...it's a terrain system with models added for structures ala Trespasser.
Also, stencil volumes can be easily replaced, with shadow buffers, since Carmack already has it up and running in his test renderer and his 2001 build had it too, but it wasnt viable due to the target market, however, it would be trivial for carmack to impliment it.
CryEngine uses a few real time lights, and many of its dynamic lights are just swinging lightmaps.

The CryENGINE will power the widely anticipated, high frames per second (FPS) game Far Cry, which is being fully optimised for these processors.
Also, at the AMD Athlon 64 processor launch event in San Francisco Crytek is premiering an AMD64 version of the CryENGINE, as well as a level of Far Cry optimised for the AMD64 platform.
Because we believe that the CryENGINE is slated to use each and every bit of PC hardware to its maximum capacity, we see AMD64 gaming as the next big move in the industry.

 DevMaster.net - CryENGINE - Engine Details
A different approach of review now, since we´re dealing with a PRO engine, I assume that you are a highly experienced programmer with a extreme know-how on advanced game development.
Features: I liked Cryengine a lot because many of the features, but the one that I love for sure is the Lua Scripting, It´s our Brazilian Pride on game development, the language was made entirely on the PUC university.
Accomplishing the job of adding to the realism of the game engine the sound is an overall success, but is unfortunately overshadowed by the other great parts of the game.

 CryEngine revisited... - nV News Forums
So my new conclusion is that the CryEngine has some seriously untapped potential and while it cant do all stencils outdoors, it can do all shadowmaps everywhere, which means soft-shadows everywhere.
There are a few games in development using the CryEngine, but I doubt it will garner as many licencees as the (overhyped) source engine and the Doom 3 engine...
I admit the CryEngine is nothing to scoff at, but based on the actual graphics from games released, I prefer Doom3.

 Interesting comparison about D3 engine v.s. Cryengine - nV News Forums
when it comes to shaders, CryEngine is prolly more advanced due to it being DX9, while D3 is OGL, I think OGL is a bit lacking when it comes to modern shaders..
Also the engine is based around older hardware as a target then CryEngine seems to be..
Tho I think the unified lightmodel D3 uses is more advanced then what CryEngine offers, unless ofcource CryEngine supports the same, but isnt using it for Far-Cry..

By using “machinima,”; 3D gaming technologies and techniques that are evolving into a recognized art form around the world.
Far beyond the usual blow-away-the-monster visuals, machinima offers photo-realistic cinematic computing where scenes, sets, and characters can be pre-visualized and rendered in real time, and where the mood and perspective can be rapidly changed.
Since the CryENGINE enables immediate playability of a created game without the lengthy wait for compiling, enthusiasts into creating “mods” will have an easy way to make new gaming content for themselves.

 VN Boards - CryEngine-based MMORPG?
With the CryEngine, It seems like it would be easy to eliminate the zoning between outdoor and indoor, but there would probably end up being region zone points.
Perhaps zoning could be eliminated all together, if the world was broken down into lots of smaller maps, roughly equal to 1.25 * the diamater of the players cliping plane.
I'm thinking of making a very small-scale test MMO that supports up to say 50 people between 3 or 4 zones, and considering how big of a project that would be, It'd be great if someone could share any experiences they've had with CryEngine.
