It's not, Bioshock was a game I was looking forward to and was very disappointed in.
It isn't interesting.
What the hell is interesting about it?
The Ayn Rand elements are ripped off and not very deep at all
The plasmid element are just re-branded spells. Modable weapons? Yahoo... its in a lot of games now
The big daddy - little sister thing is "interesting," but its also the only novel thing in the whole game
The story is BORING, not immersive. I was more immersed in the events of Crysis!

idtech4 didn't really anticipate the need for an engine that supported huge sprawling maps, aka Battlefield and Crysis, which seem to be popular these days. Only when Megatexture came out a couple months ago did they kind of catch up with the whole outdoor "sandbox" thing, but by then it was a bit too little too late. The only game I can recall in development using the idtech4 engine is RTCW2, which I'm extremely excited about nonetheless.
Hopefully Rage can bridge the gaps brought on by UR3 and CryEngine2.

haha events in Crysis =
"we have a huge army with thousands of soldiers and hundreds of tanks and attack planes. But we need YOU alone to run in and kill the enemies" I played about 4 hours at a friends house and all I remember was being told "we're sending in re-enforcements hold tight" then the story became "we can't make it to you, go it alone!" I didn't fully understand Bioshock's story but at least I found it interesting and it was if nothiing else, different than Crysis's which is your typical war story.
UT3 has a few sweet maps, the one DM one where you can teleport to different zones is bad ass. The outdoor zone is so awesome, which more of the levels were like that. I'm getting tired of the "metal factory" look of most of them.

Totally agree. Neither GoW, Bioshock, or UT3 really wowed me. It seems to me that the developers that go through the trouble of making their own engine have the drive to make a really good game - like the Call of Duty series or STALKER.

The U2 engine is the big fish right now, but the CryEngine is making solid licensing progress.
Crytek has signed several licensing agreements with game studios and those are just the announcements that are public. They may have signed several other agreements which are under NDA at the licensing studio's wishes... a lot of studios are licensing under NDA these days.
Also, from what I gather, the CryEngine is being ported to the PS3.

Now hopefully nvidia will release their next gen GPU's that can actually play crysis at full settings. I'm glad cry engine 2 ( i think that's the name) is getting licensed, it's absolutely stunning and would be a waste for it be limited to one game.

I agree with N7 , though Epic was the slowest company to put out their DX9/10 engine. Crytek is on their second Gen. engine however.

Unreal engine has always sold well, Many great game s have been breeched from the engine . UE3 engine seems to need more polish ,but who knows .... Crytec is way more advanced now a days , but it seems harder to develop on....
The fact it took Epic this long to develop a DX9 and Crytek 2 DX9 engines means there is still more to be developed in DX9

I don't know that I would say that the CryEngine is harder to develop on... simply that there is a learning curve associated with dev'ing on any engine and the CryEngine2 is new so people have to learn the ropes. The sandbox tools for the CryEngine are pretty good... one of my game dev friends has tinkered around with it quite a bit and really likes it.
