I've been looking at Crysis's scenery and water, all that amazing stuff, and wondered it would work so great with a RPG. Think of games like Final Fantasy or Fable, you'll get a lot more "I can go anywhere in this virtual world" feeling.

If it was Jagged Alliance 3 then that would be sweet.

Meh, gameplay over graphics for me. If the gameplay is exactly the same, graphics mean little. Of course if the RPG is one big sanbox like oblivion, then I can see how graphics may have a bigger impact.

well, it isn't just that graphics of Cryengine 2.0 but just the vastness of it, like all the foilage, the physics, and espicially thewater (I don't know, I just like the water:)

Yeah... Morrowind/Oblivion/(whatever open-ended RPG) would work great with CryEngine 2. But JRPGs and such? It would be overkill...

If an RPG is done right, the graphics are really one of the last things you should be worried about.

Yeah, in a JRPG you'd have this lush cityscape, you'd try to go into an alley that has a box in the way.... you hit your action button and the text "there is a box in your way" would pop up...

Immersion into the gameworld is one of the main draws of an RPG for me, so I'd say that the graphics indeed play a big part. Besides, CryEngine 2 offers much more than gorgeous graphics. A sprawling open-ended RPG with fully destructible/interactive environments would be fantastic.

Im not sure it's just good. CryEngine is more realistic but RPG is other style.

It's just an engine. The developers can use whatever art style they want. -.-
