the before and after stuff kills me, yeah it's because the game took 10 fucking years to make so rendering and modelling technology evolved in that time, lmao
Technology leaped ahead enough that new Unreal tools can do The River(tm) in minutes but dragging along old CryEngine shit from 10+ years ago can do it in years!
Are they still using that? I remember even 10 years it was doubtful CryEngine could handle what they were trying to do.
It's even weirder now.
After the grifters won in against CryTek for misuse of the engine, they kept mutating it over and over in-house but with weird tricks like the entire fucking solar system in the eternal alpha is actually the size of a Crysis map and absolutely everything in it is ultra-miniaturized to try to fit that map while space is also technically underwater al la Crytek physics characteristics which is why very weird and silly physics glitches that often violently kill player characters and their nerd chariots happen all the time.
Can't wait until they add the remaining promised 99 star systems, cram all of it into the size of a Crysis map and make everything in it so tiny that quantum mechanics start applying to your ingame characters
they're using amazon lumberyard which is a fork of cryengine when they went kaput
