For consoles only, wonder if they'll have the same problems as us on the PC

Well it'll either work or not on console generally.

Not so true, many console games have framerate issues

True, but they're all playable.

Yet the title says CryEngine 3 video PC games....

Crytek wanting to sweep Cry Engine 2 under the carpet as soon as possible then?

Oh dear.

Dunno why, works fine here.

Even on my old system.

that could've been a tech demo for the cryengine2 for all I could see.. there wasn't a single thing that made me think "current engines can't do this".

I'm all for advancement and innovation, but that video had neither imo :/

Gideon Lorr · 23 Mar 2009 at 20:49

So is this just a purposely limited CryEngine 2 for Crytek to enter the console market, and then use it on the PC rather than make 'exclusive' engines for the PC from now on?

Looks like Skyboxes as well...oh no...

I'm guessing it's something to do with new shader's maybe....No idea though without them listing them

Probably just 'works' better...as in more optimised perhaps.

looks a bit worse than cryengine 2?

Adrianr · 23 Mar 2009 at 20:53

I seem to recall the CryEngine2 tech demo and how the CGI must have stopped just short enough to let them call it 'in-game'

Good to see they've turned all their efforts to the piracy-less wonder consoles now.. Ten bucks says it's runs like a legless dog. Or runs like a two-legged dog with a draw distance of about 5 feet.

Pretty sure they said in the press release a lil while ago that Cry Engine 3 was for all platforms (they didnt say "PC", they said "DX9/10").

Nick1881 · 23 Mar 2009 at 21:08

Was it meant to look really slow in that demo?

Crysis didn't do as well as they expected so they threw their toys out the pram, rather than address the reasons why.

I'm impressed, can't see why some of you don't agree, please enlighten.

Bizarre · 23 Mar 2009 at 21:46

Seems like they've just gimped the Cryengine 2 to get it running on consoles.

Cryengine 1.5 would be a more appropriate name for it, imo.

XPE · 23 Mar 2009 at 21:52

It looks fine and i think that's the problem it just isn't as ground breaking of the cryengine 2.

What i want to know is when are we going to see some of that describable terrain in a game from crytek

smithy83 · 23 Mar 2009 at 21:59

looks fine

i hope they do more environments other then a tropical island
