Cry Engine 3

[johnman]

Well I just discovered a new Cry Engine 3 video and thought I ought to share. Not much to say other than it looks fecking amazing and how much I want this.

Will the madness ever end?

 

[j0z]

Wow... just wow... that is beautiful.

I don't know what else to say, other than people will not be able to have the settings turned up like that for the next 20 years.

If you look at the Cry Engine 2/3 comparisons, 2 looks better IMO. I'm sure it runs better on lower end hardware, but the draw distance is absolute shit.

Meh, I'll withhold judgement 'till I see the finished product.

 

[Arkhangelsk]

My face just melted by the awesome graphics. It's more pretty than reality. And I've seen reality.

 

[orangebandguy]

Nothing short of spectacular.

 

[Halfbreed13]

So I see they just make an engine now and ditch the game altogether. Very nice.

 

[Mcface]

A brand new gaming PC and I will probably never be able to see that in my game.

 

[Pielikey]

It looks actually realistic. It's a shame it'll only run on imaginary computers that might exist eventually.

 

[AnarchistAbe]

OMFG!!! I hereby decree that all games shall be in CryEngine 3 from this point on.

Seriously though, this is absolutely freaking beautiful. I cant wait for Crysis 2.

 

[Spitfire175]

Isn't that the engine for the console version of Crysis 2? Or it is just the engine for Crysis 2 in general?

Oh, and this:

Yes, I agree. I saw those too. CryEngine 2 looks way better, atleast at this stage of CryEngine 3 dev.

That's the point, cryengine 3 is a tuned down version of 2 for consoles.

thats not true. console versions looks worse than cryengine2, thats right. but crytek put quite a number of new tricks in cryengine3 which only can be seen in powerful PCs.

Pc users have something to wait too.

Also new sandbox editor, looks way advenced than the orginal.
To tell you the truth, i am happy to see someone is pushing the limits of hardware. Otherwise GPU technology wouldnt advance that fast.

 

[-Seraph-]

Yeah my only concern is the kind of GPU you'll need on a PC to play it. Plus, I wonder if it'll be exactly the same on PC as on 360 and PS3 or how big a difference there will be.

Well seeing as it can run on a console at THAT quality, I am praying that the GPU requirements are around the same as the first game but less of a hardware hog all together. I mean consoles have shitty GPU's compared to PC's, and if you have a PC that can run Crysis on close to High already, this should be no problem if it's more optimized. This is all on the hopes that the PC version won't be bullshit and be badly optimized and will run better than Crysis.

Now if you will excuse my I must go change into a new pair of pants.

 

[Spitfire175]

Yes, true. But it still looks damned good.

I'm not denying that.

Yes, I know that. I just wanted to point out that 1)cryengine 2 looks slightly better(imo) 2)the system requirements to run in the first place it are not astronomical, as some might think. "Tuned down" can be interperted in two ways. I didn't mean "less advanced".

Read above, CryEngine 3 is for consoles. CryEngine 2 is a superior version made for PCs though, however I remember noticing every explosion looked the same.(shown even in that short video)
However, if it's going to be like CryEngine1, then you'd need to get a computer from 3~ years in the future to not make everything look shit.

On-Topic: yes, it looks nice, but I really doubt that the 360 could ever process the graphics. The 360 uses a graphics card comparable to the Ati 1900 series, a series that has severe issues with both bloom and dynamic shadows.(bloom is too bright and shadows could slow the FPS to a crawl)

Untrue. CryEngine 2 probably would has higher system requirements than CryEngine 3 will. 3 is tuned down from 2, and better optimized.

Hardly matters GPU hardware is a lot better than when crysis originaly came out

7900GTX vs 5870 HD
