So CryTek have been pretty much the baddest mother fuckers in the business when it comes to game engines. And what's more - they plan on releasing this beast of an engine completely free for us to tinker with. I am excite.

But you all probably don't give a shit, so I'll post anyway.

Edit: another look at the engine

What does free mean? Free to make and sell games? Free access to the source code? Free for non-commercial use only? Free for a limited number of seats?

Free in that it will be free to download and use. I would imagine it will work in a similar manner to Unity and the Unreal Development Kit. No details are yet published on the type of licensing it may require, but I think it is safe to presume that when they say it will be free, it won't cost us anything to use it. (other than needing amazing hardware)

That's not real time. There's no fucking way that's real time.

Edit: Nvm, at the end it says Cry 3 cinema. So, not a video game, and not what I'd call real-time.
