Crytek's principal graphics engineer departs for id Software

[geo]

His name is Tiago Sousa.

Seems like abandoning one sinking ship for another:

Crytek employees have been going unpaid lately and a few people have been fired, others given unpaid promotions. Others are jumping ship.

Discuss!

That's pretty good news for Doom's development, right? Right. That's what we are telling ourselves.

I don't think it could hurt.

Nah it couldn't hurt. Unreal Engine 4 could really use a graphics guy. Its a fucking beast on your processor and video card when Skyrim and Crytek aren't.

Skyrim is a hackish mess that can't render more than five dynamic lights (two with shadows) at once!

Weird. I see shadows of everyone. You can slider adjust shadows.

Far Cry 3 wasnt made by Crytek though, it was made by Ubisoft.
