CryEngine 2 tech demo >>>>>>> CryEngine 3 tech demo

Thank you for this post. You have proven that you misunderstood. I'm not going to bother to restate easy to read statements so I'll just say "Reread".DeckardLee

They haven't demonstrated it scaling up at all. It's been dumb downed just look at the video!

If you have a link to them talking about it significantly improving the graphics on the PC then please give a link.

What you stated was false

I corrected you and then i got challenged....

You either wrote something wrong, or you are now trying to deflect.

I also slightly apologize because I mistook someone else's statement about the consoles causing a PC version downgrade for a statement you made

Either way, your statement was not nearly as clear as you believe it to be.

[QUOTE="dgsag"]

You said the engine was downgraded. This simply doesn't make sense.

So the engine running on the 360 and PS3 is the same as the PC version? Come on now.

Why is that everyone has to be so arrogant as to tell someone what THEY meant? It's pretty obvious what I meant.

-- Oh! I see your problem! You have me confused with TheDuffman26.

It's not exactly the same as it's been reworked to work on the consoles closed hardware. All engines are scalable to a certain extent, as you see when you put a game on low/med to high/very high on PC. It isn't downgraded, it's simply scalable

I never said CryEngine 3 games wouldn't look better than CryEngine 2 games on PC. For the last ****** time, you MISUNDERSTOOD THE CONVERSATION!

That was when I had been told the engine was only for consoles.

I see that the many conversations I've had in this topic has confused me greatly. I was looking at the past pages and I noticed that I've had conversations in this topic that I thought were else where. I see now that a large portion of the confusion was my fault. So, I apologize. Although, in mydefense I've had many, many, many different conversations with different people :(

DeckardLee

Oh. Well, it most certainly is not just for consoles

It is going to range a very long period of time:

Xbox 360

PS3

PC(Current)

PC(Future)

Xbox ???

PS4

Those are officially confirmed platforms as of right now.

Next Gen Console versions of the engine won't be available until those consoles are shipping, but the whole point of the engine it to scale up and down extremely well. Future, past, and present all under the same engine. That is their business model. Offer such a compelling engine that it will sell despite the high price.

Yes, I found that out several conversations ago when I did a Google search. Which was when I actually got excited for the new engine instead of bashing it :D

They downdgraded it so that it would run on crappy hardware called xbox 360 and ps3. That's why multiplats suck. My hope is that the pc version will up the bar once again, just like cryengine 2 did.TheDuffman26

Look at the Ultra High configurations, there's a significant improvement in visuals over the Very High/Enthusiast settings that Crysis/Crysis Warhead ships with, and that's just tweaking some lines in the .ini file. You need tri-SLI GTX280's to run Crysis Very High at 1920x1200 at 8x AA with no AF. The hardware just isn't up to par yet.

Also, "Im_single" (LOL!) look at the Unreal 3 engine. Look at the ways it has been enhanced over the years. Gears Of War 2 was exponentially more impressive than Gears Of War 1. And, Gears Of War 1 was an improvement over previous Unreal 3 games. And, to top it off, they're supposed to show off some more Unreal 3 engine enhancements at this year's GDC.

So, there's two options:

1) Crysis has not reached it's full potential as Crytek, logic, configurations, and the world as we know it shows.

2) Cryengine 2 is the first proprietary engine that remained static for years.

Which one seems more likely?

Typically ill-informed consoleboy.

Let's see it's a tech demo, so .......... since the tech CryEngine 3 is made for consoles, obviously CryEngine 2 would look better since it has pc in mind :S

What the hell are you talking about? You're talking as if eye candy is the only thing that goes into graphics and presentation. Gears Of War 2 had much bigger environemts and-- Why do I even bother? Just watch the tech demo at last year's GDC 09. It completely pwns everything you said. Also, there's a nice GameSpot article about this. I'm tired of pointless arguments. I've reached my quota for the day. Gears Of War 2 had some definite technical improvements that aren't immediately obvious just looking at screenshots. There's more units on screen, with more open environemnts, and--ughhh...

Just look at these videos:

Just the fact that the models, textures, and animations are even close to the original while on this scale disproves your claim. You are done. Completely obliterated.

While PC's will always be capable of more.... the fact that we could have games look like that on current gen consoles is nothing short of amazing..... From what I could tell from the video it looks about on par with what Crysis looks like running on my rig with everything on HIGH..... Here's hoping alot of devs license this Engine for their new games and stop using the Unreal Engine.... ugh, I'm so sick of the Unreal Engine.

This looks like Crysis on low ... medium at best .. but that's a stretch ...

Crytek has already said that the Crysis trilogy is exclusive to PC, but any further IPs they make will be multiplats.

So this engine's first game is probably going to be TimeSplitters 4, since they purchased Free Radical. And since TimeSplitters is the most awesome console FPS series ever made, that's no less exciting. Probably more, actually, since Crysis on consoles would be a downgrade, where as TimeSplitters on consoles is exactly where it belongs.
