Topic: Crytek announces CryEngine 3

Blah blah blah

Showing it off at GDC. From what the press release says, it seems like this is CryEngine 2 for consoles and MMOs. I doubt its going to look much better than Crysis/CryEngine 2. More like a Cryengine 2.5.

Looks like Crytek is trying to get companies to jump aboard and actually use one of their CryEngines for "licensing" -- a la what Unreal Engine and Id Tech Engines have done for years; especially if Crytek are also aiming for the big money cash-cows such as consoles and MMO's markets.

Hey, as long as PC gets Crysis 2 and whatever new IP's Crytek decide to explore, then fine by me...

Well, if it's mostly for consoles than I guess we'll get some PS3/360 games that will require a PS4/720 to run at a decent framerate.

ZING!

GDC 09: CryENGINE 3 Teaser Video
A first look at Crytek's new multiplatform engine.
by Charles Onyett

March 23, 2009 - Crytek, the developer of Far Cry and Crysis, announced earlier this month that its in-development multiplatform game engine CryENGINE 3 would be shown off for the first time at Game Developers Conference 2009. Now it's GDC week and we've got an exclusive sneak peek at Crytek's CryENGINE 3 trailer.

According to Crytek, the trailer features both Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 footage.

The video is meant as a tech demo only, so the fact that it features nanosuit-clad soldiers from Crysis running around doesn't necessarily mean anything concrete. It could just be that Crytek recycled some of its existing assets. No titles have been officially announced that will be built on CryENGINE 3 as of yet.
