I know what it is but what does it mean.
It means Crytek once again showed the world it's capable of making a graphics engine that's so poorly optimized and coded that it can only run on the best machines. But hey, at least it looks good right?
I'd even go as far as to say those bits where it showcased different consoles running it were complete bullshit. The only way a game on current gen consoles could look that good without immediately bursting into flames would be to have it made by Crytek themselves. Considering that the original Crysis didn't even make it to consoles I'd love to see what they come up with.
Personally I gauge the quality of a game engine on its flexibility and how well it's been used and received by the industry. Right now Unreal Engine 3 holds the title of "best engine" for this gen IMO. Source following in a close second, falling behind in both games produced and graphics/performance.
yeh i know this is my second comment on this topic but first i usually make with a breif read of the thread 2nd is my main reply.
you dont know shit about the gaming industry yet comment as if you do.
as i said before crysis the game (including expansion) are nothing more then technical demonstrations with extra features to show off the max that the engine can do, warhead optimized the engine as been a new engine it has problems, warhead gave similar quality at a better proformance.
each engine has strong points and weak points im not going into depth on this as it should be oblivous, unreal 3 engine boasts a large user base as out of the box it works on all platforms (minus handheld) source does not but has a large fan base and is easy to mod for which attracts many map makers, modders etc
cry engine is new very new infact compared to the source and unreal, it sticks to its strong points and games that are made for it although lack a good story gameplay wise are interesting and fun to play, dont care if you dont like it im talking in general.
cry engine 3 will again boast a game to show its technical abilitys this isnt just a game its to show other developers what it can do, unreal engine has the unreal games (yes they are technical demonstrations), source has half life although this is actually a game aswell but they often force new features into this game to show off what the engine can do, but source is more private compared to the others so no need to show it off that much.
i digress my point is if every game is made on the same platform things will be boring and dull not to mention theres only so much you can do with one engine.
secondly about your point of only high end pc's or good pc's are able to play the game why not? doom3 was the same and that was made on the id tech 4 engine (which isnt known for pushing any boundries)
lastly please quit posting on these subjects you have shown no knowlege of how games are made, what goes on within the industry and other various points im not an expert but i know to some degree whats involved and although im sure your going to disagree iv got an open mind if someone can prove otherwise to me i will take it onboard
for those who want industry news and information this website is the best many top designers/programmers use it
