CryENGINE是一个游戏引擎，它最初是Crytek为NVIDIA开发的技术演示，后来该公司看到了它的潜力，将其用于FPS游戏《孤岛惊魂》的开发。该引擎擅长类似于《闪点行动》的超远视距渲染，但拥有更先进的植被渲染系统。此外，玩家在游戏关卡中不需要暂停来加载附近的地形。对于室内和室外的地形，游戏引擎也可无缝过渡（照明和渲染模式可能稍有不同）

CryENGINE® 3 is a highly advanced development solution that surpasses all expectations for the creation of blockbuster games, movies, high-quality simulations, and interactive applications. The third iteration of Crytek’s proprietary engine is the only all-in-one game development solution for the PC, Xbox 360™, and PlayStation®3 that is truly groundbreaking in itself.
