So what your saying is that it looks just as good as the pictures and videos on the internet of Crysis 2?
But when Crysis 2 was release those pretty pictures were useless considering it contained non of the features we saw in the pictures.

So excuse me if i am a bit skeptical.

RTI isn't restricted by EA in the same way Crytek is (allegedly according to the innumerable threads on this very topic). While it is a possibility, its more likely to be true than what EA did with Crysis 2.

I mean look at that in-game footage of the Black Hawk night insertion with the minigun pulling off rounds...crazy stuff

CE2 is battered by CE3, there's no contest with their Full Real Time GI and other improvements. However the game, Crysis 2 might not showcase it all, which is understandable.
yes it is understandable
someone have just made money for sh1t work - that happened
and it is not engine's fail

One day maybe some real Devs will make a PC game with this CryEngine 3 .

Untill then we'll just have to play this console port that uses 10% of it's potential.

Or we can chant magical rhymes until they release a SDK, then do a few more magical chants and hope someone produces a overhauled Crysis2 MOD

Though I do grudgingly admit for a game that's multi-platform, They made it look pretty damn nice.... I can't wait to see what this engine really does when unleashed for PC's/next gen consoles (lol)

Say what you say, but latest Unreal engine is the best! CryEngine can just cry because of it!

Actually UE is playing catch up to CryEngine. CE3 is much more advanced, all that stuff is their UE trailer is just fluff that isn't even engine specific.

How do you know CE is much more advanced than UE if you're not a developer that worked on both engines? You're believing Crytek's propaganda? LOL Don't let them brainwash you.

you can't compare CE2 (PC) with CE3 (PS3/360) *rolleye*... you have to compare CE2 (PC) with CE3 (PC)

CE3 is a better engine, but crysis 1 makes better use of the older CE2 engine.

/end of thread.

Are you stupid?
Thats a PC vs Consoles comparison-.-

forget about that comparision
it's stuppid thing
noone saw full potential of CryEngine3 "in life"

That's what I'm sayin!
You can't say CE3 is better than CE2 because you didn't see maximum of neither engines (that counts for latest Unreal engine too).

It's possible to compare games, but engines... hmm... maybe it's not all about the engine but about knowledge and creativity of developers.

yeah we saw it few times already.. ty =)

Of course it does. CE2 is made for the PC... CE3 is made for consoles... that's why it svcks.

CE3 is a better engine, but crysis 1 makes better use of the older CE2 engine.

How hard is it for people to understand this basic fact? C2 didn't utilise CE3 to the maximum. How can you possibly say CE2 > CE3 based on a game that doesn't even utilise all of CE3's technology?

Because they are PC fanboys that are mad that this game didn't push the bar as high for it's time as the first Crysis did, and anything they can say that will make the game, engine, and company look bad is a good thing in their book, even if they don't know what they are talking about.

Look at this comparision of CE3 vs CE2

What a downgrade! Its not only Crysis 2 was downgraded, but engine as well, "thanks" to consoles.

I have reasons to believe that we dont have DX10\11 and many features because not only game but CE3 itself in not yet finished state.

I just have one simple question Crytek - why didnt you moved release date to 6-12 month later when you knew that your game and engine is in semi-finished state? Why you pushed out this half broken crapware?

Money of extra 6 month of production cost you reputation and number of sales of game and engine, so you saved less than you lost...
One of the most idiotic posts ever on this forum. Please figure out what you're talking about before posting. Idiot.

CryEngine 3 seems to be a downgrade but its because Crysis 2 was consolized and ported directly to PC ( " press start thing .. -.- "). CE3 engine is very optimized for PC with a great potential but it STILL too heavy for the obsolete consoles hardware , maybe I am wrong but I bet my ass the frames per second for consoles are less than 30 or even 25 and not solid 60 fps. If we look back at the first tech demos , CE3 showed off the same jungle from C1 with the same features ( maybe not as beautiful as CE2 but very capable).

CE3 can do everything that CE2 can do in the jungle setting, there are numerous games out there that showcase this, its just far more optimized so that terrible frames are a thing of the past.

After having a look for myself, and i dont mean comparing videos i am inclined to agree that CE3 > CE2 in every possible way.
Just because the studio made a crap game with CE3 does not mean the engine is useless.

If we were to take this engine and travel back in time and hand this engine to Crytek when they were still making games for pc only, then you would have a Crysis experience that would blow away the crysis we have now. By Far.

LOL

It's only this way for consoles.

"Optimized", sure, but it's only because the maps are so small and the fact that the engine is only using 25% of it's capacity in this game. If they made a game of the scale of crysis with this engine, your crappy PC would be getting just as low frames as the first game.

Most people who are happy the game is so "optimised" are the ones with PC's barely stronger than an Xbox in the first place.
