People we all know that crysis was a great game. It had great grpahics and intelligent A.I.
It recieved great scores and it changed the gaming industry
Call of Duty uses the same engine always just with a few tweeks and most of the times wins the race
Well people including me believe that crysis was and is better than crysis 2 in terms of everything.
Crysis was also a game that had very few bugs on launch date. I believe that this leads to a conclusion that cryengine 2 was ultimately better than cryengine 3
I say that crytek should tweek cryengine 2 like the guys at infinity ward and they should add 3d support,dx11 support and all those new features to cryengine 2 and then make a game
And then maybe we would have a game crysis 3 which even beats crysis in graphics, A.I and all other things
Please crytek take my advice. I suppose this is your only way to make the crysis franchise as good it was befor in 2007 and 2008.

Cryengine 2 is no good for consoles and CE3 uses deferred lighting, which is much better.

Have you read my whole post
It says that they should tweek cryengine 2 and add those new features which they added in cryengine 3
And crysis is known for pc not consoles
And they can even tweek this capabilty of porting the game to consoles from cryengine 2

CE3 can do everything CE2 can do AND run on consoles (though it doesn't necessarily mean consoles can take advantage of all the advanced features) so there is no point. People only say Crysis 2 has worse graphics either because they don't like the art style (subjective), or because Crytek didn't take full advantage of the full potential of CE3. Oh and CE2 doesn't have DX11. Hmm, maybe they should add DX10 functionality to CE3 too.....

M4dn3ss have you used both engines if not have you seen the differences between the games which are produced
Just becuase crytek is showing a lot about cryengine 3 and all its good features dosent means that without using the engines you judge which one is better
And once again i am saying THAT THEY ADD ALL THOSE NEW FEATURES TO CRYENGINE 2 WHICH THEY ADDED TO CRYENGINE 3
All others who post to this thread please read this line before posting anything

Even If Crysis is better in every way than Crysis 2, the credit for that doesn't go to the subset engine! Crysis wanted to set the PC world on its head, Crysis 2 wanted to sell.

The difference is in the love.

[...]Crysis was also a game that had very few bugs on launch date. I believe that this leads to a conclusion that cryengine 2 was ultimately better than cryengine 3Umm... It doesn't.

[...]And once again i am saying THAT THEY ADD ALL THOSE NEW FEATURES TO CRYENGINE 2 WHICH THEY ADDED TO CRYENGINE 3Umm... They did.

I think OP fails to realize these features you just can't add in willy nilly. There has to be a place in the engine for it for starters, two, you have to hard code the new API into the engine, test it, make sure it works EVERYWHERE which alone would take months to ensure all aspects work properly.

Also Cryengine 2 does NOT look better. CE3 is just not be used to its full potential yet. I remember playing with CE2 and lots of stuff looked like **** until people really started to unlock the full rendering power of CE2.

We haven't really unlocked all that power yet in CE3 which leads me to my next point, time. CE2 has lots of time over CE3. There's been time for people to figure out CE2 but not enough for CE3 just yet.

Also stop being a hater, and you obviously didn't play Crysis at release, plenty of awesome bugs.

Success of a game is not based on graphic engine but on story, and overall game quality (including support).
Portal 2 is built on modified Source engine... Now when you see how old that engine is, and on the other side how awesome game is, and how well it's received by gamers, you'll understand that engine is not really important.
I'm not trying to say Crysis 2 would be more successful if it would be on CE2, but contrary, Crysis 1 haven't made that success only because of the engine it was built on, but it succeeded because it offered something that gamers were fantasizing about.

Crysis 2 is very good game that needs more developer support! One more patch, and some official answers on questions few months old!

So replacing the whole lighting and rendering system in CE2 is a tweak? LOL

CE3 is better than CE2 in just about every way, it's just that they didn't show it much in Crysis 2 because it was a bad port.

I couldn't agree more.. +1

Ok pheraps I was wrong and now I got it that cryengine 3 is better
Just then I would like it better if crytek works more on their next crysis and only makes the game on PC and then later port it to consoles like they did with crysis.
And crytek should then stick to cryengine 3 add all the new features to that engine only and keep developing games through that engine only as this would increase their experience with the engine and then we could unlock the true potential of cryengine 3 as one person on this forum said that the true rendering power of cryengine 3 hasnt been reached.

Now that I would agree with

Hmm, maybe they should add DX10 functionality to CE3 too.....

I want this to because i have a dx 10.1 card Radeon HD 4770 and wanted to play crysis 2 in dx 10 but had to play the game in dx9

And i know my card is very old and i am buying a new one next year when the 28nm one comes out
