First cry engine 3 footage!

So does this basically confirm Crysis is getting ported to consoles, or that Crysis 2 is going multiplatform?

Either way, it sucks.

I think Crysis is staying PC exclusive, but you can guarantee it'll be a great engine for console developers, and if Crytek decide to make a console game, the world will explode.

Well, Crytek already confirmed they're working on a console project, but it would be great that Crysis franchise (?) remains PC exclusive.

The physics were pretty impressive. Graphics looked great. I think people saying that graphics were bad can't see past the low res.

I'm pretty sure Cryengine 3 is scaleable, which would be awesome as it would mean the usual Crysis graphics on PC, but great Crysis graphics on consoles, so hopefully they really give it a good use.

But here's the problem, Crysis isn't just graphics. I said it before this announcement and I will say it now, consoles do not have enough memory to support environments of the scale in Crysis.

What does it matter if it looks the same if the large scale environmental game play is gone?

You make a good point, Graphics isn't all Crysis does. I think this engine would be great for the same type of console games being released. They could do large open worlds like GTAIV, but the texture resolution, and general scale of graphics are not going to be the same. However for FPS like KZ2, Halo 3, and even RPG's etc, this could be pretty cool.

Looks awesome, hype AAA, GOTY confirmed.

for Consoles this looks great, but doesnt look as good as Crysis. Crytek better not be releasing a striped down version of Crysis for consoles because I'm mainly buying a new PC for it . they should just make a new ip altogether. Sonic_on_crack

They can use it to make anything they want but Crysis as far as I'm concerned, I just don't want to see a game called Crysis that doesn't look or play like Crysis.

I saw tons of different rendering techniques and LoD changes. That said it still is mighty impressive,

See, now, if I was a console fanboy I would be out raged that my system (PC) lost an exclusive. But, instead, I'm a more mature PC gamer so I'm actually happy that people on the consoles will get to experience something like Crysis.

More people should be like this.

It's just an engine so why would people be outraged? It's not like losing an exclusive.

What's wrong with you people? It looks good.:?killerfist

Yeah, but we're used to Cryengine 2 which was far beyond this :D Still, glad to see console gamers are going to be getting a taste :D Maybe we'll see games using engines besides the Unreal 3 engine!

I see some are not impressed. It could be a technically great and versatile engine for all we know. Looks great for consoles!TREAL_Since

Have no fear. If Crysis was "ported" to the 360/PS3 it would be a completely different game. Something like Far Cry vs Far Cry Instincts.

Because Cryengine 2 was the PC's claim to fame. Whenever you bring up PC vs consoles, this is brought up. This is very much like the Xbxo 360 losing Gears Of War / Halo or Playstation 3 losing Killzone 2. Still .. I'm happy for the console gamers :D Honestly.

Looks...impressive to say the least. I wonder what they can cook up on the Wii.

That was probably the video.

Meh.

Never liked the way crysis looked, and the stripped down console version they showed looks even worse.

As most have said, looks worse than CryEngine 2. That's to be expected though, no doubt that was running on one of the consoles, not a PC. PC version of the engine should look far superior and hopefully better optimized since it seems Crytek is the only PC developer (of dozens) that can't seem to optimize anything much at all. But, yea, looks worse in that current video than Cry Engine 2. I'd like to see some PC footage though personally. Anyone would've expected the console iteration of the engine to look like crap compared to PC version CryEngine2 or CryEngine 3.

Crysis is our claim to fame because it demonstrates PC capability advantages, the engine was just the means. In the end an engine is just a way of handling resources, Cryengine 2 enabled us to show off PC capability.

Cryengine 2/3 going cross platform does not concern me, on the contrary if it means more cross platform games using Cryengine then I'm all for it. But if they attempted to port Crysis, it wouldn't negate what the game demonstrated of PC capability; but it would be an insult to the franchise.

I hate seeing any game butchered from its original form, there have already been enough examples of that with past consolized PC titles.

That part in the woods (not tropical) looked amazing with the light shining through the trees.

Meh.

Well said. Correct as well. An engine is an engine, unless we want to boast exclusive engines as "exclusive games" now. Crysis is the claim to fame, not the engine. The engine is just a means, without the game an engine just sits there. Considering Crysis has sold around 2 million copies (not including Warhead)people seem to notice this.

Agreed as well, if Crysis gets ported it's going to be a sad day. I wouldn't mind them working on a Crysis spinoff (like with FarCry Instincts on Xbox) on the consoles but to directly port Crysis would be a joke and an insult to the game. Better off making an exclusive Crysis game on PC using CryEngine 3 and seeing as we just saw the console iteration of the engine, the PC version would look far superior. Looking at a console iteration of Crysis after playing the Warhead and Crysis on PC would be like looking at night and day.

Looking at Project Offset (PC exclusive shooter) it's safe to say we have a new "Crysis" on our hands. Only difference is the company behind Offset (as with every other PC dev other than Crytek) knows how to optimize well on PC.

We agree then. So, you're one of the people that is a mature gamer.

Let's pretend we're console fanboys like Lunchbox or any number of others here:

OH NOEZ!!! WE LOST AN XXCLUSIV!!! WE MUST BASH CRYENGINE 3!!!

Reading the other above post I see the confusion. I meant exactly what you guys are saying but I said it differently ahnd the meaning was lost. Thanks for clarifying.

where is it said Project Offset is PC only ? Gamespot has it listed for 360 and PCSonic_on_crack

It's based on numerous assumptions on information that has been released.

For example an employee saying they are not limited by consoles like cross platform games so can push the latest hardware. This is supposed to be a Larrabee tech demo; which will be significantly more powerful than what is even out for PC today if to be believed.

it hasnt been updated in a while, the game was since than bought by Intel, and all refrences to the console version were removed from the site. All accounts point to it being a first party PC game.

It looks ok

Looks good, but it doesn't look as good as CE2 IMO.

The game isn't called Project Offset. The engine is called Project Offset. The game's name will be something different. It's just called Project Offset. Do you really think a high fantasy FPS would be called something so technological?
