Homebrew Question Cryengine on github

[Naked_Snake]

since Cryengine is on github
https://github.com/CRYTEK/CRYENGINE
I was wondering if it would be possible to port Crysis 1 to switch just for fun

From what I can tell, it depends on some weird-ass commercial libraries/SDKs, so unless someone can replace them, no. Not to mention Crysis itself is not open source.

Does not matter if the game is open source or not. You do not port the game, you port the engine and use official game data files.

Unless the entire game logic code is contained in Lua scripts, which I doubt, it does matter.

Doesn't crysis need directx?

With open source engine is possible to adapt OpenGL or Vulkan.

The Amazom Lumberyard engine (https://github.com/aws/lumberyard) is basically a modded cryEngine and open source for a long time... it even supports the shield.

I know WikiPedia isn't 100% accurate, but this link mentions Crysis and CryEngine being open source*:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_commercial_video_games_with_available_source_code

*Actually not open source, but "Source available"...

No.
