100k download of an game engine SDK is amazing and tells a good story about the status of the PC gaming. So much alive and so much kicking!

While Crysis 2 with the DX11 update sure looks spectacular , it's still no way near what the CryEngine 3 is capable of..

I'm intrested to see what talented people will do with the free CE3 sdk.

Yes, this is unexpected - it puts the whole "can it play Crysis?" sillyness in jeopardy!

As of this writing, the download weighs around 658 MB and reports a current download number of 110,100.

Total Downloads: 124096 with mine right now, and counting. Thank you Kevin!!! I don't want to miss the opportunity to see what I can do with CryENGINE 3 and I am already using Unity.

This is a great thing that they've done. I downloaded the SDK a day or two later, though i have no clue how to use it yet

Note: Norton Internet Security was stopping the exe files from running on account of "suspicious behavior", had to mark them as exceptions.

I did the same- but I found a great video that teaches the basics.

Who thinks a portion of the 100k downloads were some information illiterate who thought they were getting the a game for free?

It's over 150k now. I wonder how many of those people are going to drop off long before they get anywhere near a completed game... XD I'm 2 months deep into UDK tutorials and I'm losing steam as it is. The 3 guys I decided to make an indie game with would've bailed already if they didn't have me leading the charge.
