Not quiiite, I was even wrong about that bit. 3.8 is like in limbo. "Cryengine 4" is the 3.6.x line (Crytek did decide to change their branding back in 2013, decoupling the internal version numbers from what they called the engine- 3.6.x is called "Cryengine 4", for example), and then 3.8 was released as a major update at the same time as the 5.0 line, but never given it's own public name. But both of them have many overlapping features (OpenGL support, VR support), and there were 3.8.x updates released after the first 5.0/"Cryengine 5" release.

I guess the most important feature to be in 5.0 that is not in earlier lines is Direct X 12 support.

Forget DX12, Vulkan owns.

Star Citizen: This is a good thing ™

I'm sorry, but 'Actually, This is a good thing™' is already the trademarked slogan for Bitcoin.

However, as they both share a similar development history, community and level of success, I'm sure a licensing deal could be struck - I heard CIG is big on those these days

Well, as was recently posted on Reddit, CryEngine 5 is really CryEngine 3.8. Which led me to comment that I can see where CIG's confusion with version numbers comes in.

Overall, it was a bad stream, although I did learn that absolutely no time was wasted in switching to a not-new-engine so that's all good for CiG

Hmm, frame rates are up a bit but level of detail is down... What could this mean? Almost like you can't have 'max fidelity' in a large scale multiplayer environment without tanking performance.

Or maybe they aren't and this is a nice example of placebo at work.
Framerates are up => average backer thinks that means graphics quality *must* be lower.

Because in the world of StarEngine, poo poo just can't be smoother, there has to be a huge drop in graphics quality, and even then, it's unlikely the framerate is gonna get higher.

You clearly don't understand the brilliance of Chris Roberts. This is only the first engine swap. Before Crobbers is done, he'll want to switch engines at least twice more before announcing CIG will develop their own proprietary engine. Most games you see only need one engine, some have used two--but Star Citizen is so revolutionary, it will need five.

Marching Powder is objectively the worst poster known. He also needs to learn how a keyboard works.

Imagine being a backer trying to justify a game engine change 4 years into dev in a game that you've put four to five figures USD in and been trying to support in the face of growing displeasure and negative press.
