Cryengine 3 Debuts at GDC09

PCWORM · 26-03-2009, 12:09 PM

The manufacturer of beautiful virtual worlds your computer can never run, Crytek, has just released a video for the latest iteration of its own CryENGINE, uh, engine: CryENGINE 3. Aside from being a pain to type, it's also a platform for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, MMO, and DX9/DX10 development (which we already knew) that provides scalable computation and graphics for all major upcoming platforms, making it "next-gen ready." In speed tests, the engine ran at over 800 Van-Dammes per second, destroying CryENGINE 2's record of 150 Stathams per second.

Cevat Yerli, CEO & President of Crytek, really thinks the company has a winner here and hopes that developers will use the tech to get started on tomorrow's great games today. He describes the new engine as "a revolutionary change from our previous PC-only engines," and will likely love the money Sony and Microsoft toss at Crytek to make Crysis 2: Strike at the Plant where Billion-Dollar Cybersuits are Made a timed exclusive.

CryENGINE 3 will be on display at GDC09 all of this week. Head past the break for the announcement video showing the engine in action for the first time.

+1

Its just the modified version of CryENGINE 2 which is optimised for scaling well...
Nothing more than this...I thought of how my PC is capable of playing games developed with this Engine..

Hope Crytek not ended with another Dunia Engine..

Hope it doesn't end up becoming a struggle for even the DX11 cards in Q4 2009 to play it. And then it'll again be tagged that "It's not for this gen gfx cards"
