My guess is that CryEngine3 is mainly targeted at consoles, but it will work as their PC engine too, and that's what they will market and license to all developers.

They probably optimized CryEngine 2 so it's able to run on consoles (low RAM) but added any new effects and extensions they've developed since 2007, similar to how the Crisis Warhead engine was a modification of the original Crysis engine, and decided to call it CryEngine 3. So, overall it's only a small upgrade from CryEngine 2.

And in some future PC exclusives we'll probably hear some developers say "we used a modified version of CryEngine 3 that wouldn't be able to run on consoles".

this looks amazing for a console to pull off, hopefully most of it was running on the ps360

Wow that was very pretty.

I like how he shot at the tree branchs and they all moved and deflected from the shot.

I wasn't impressed at the beginning of the vid, but from the mid to the end HOLY SHIT

That's Crytek quality

Never thought this was possible O_O

well done Crytek, this miles ahead of current games (in motion anyway)

It does look very beautiful, with nice shading/shadow effects and soft-body physics. However, it is my opinion that Killzone 2 is slightly *sharper* in terms of image quality(it doesn't have the slight blur evident in the video).

lol

When everyone thought it was for PC, everyone complained about how it was only slightly better than Crysis.

Now we know it's for PS360, everyone's saying it's worse than Crysis.

XD

I can't find anybody in this thread who said it looked slightly better, then went and said it looks worse. everybody seems to be either one or another and it seem to have stayed with their original opinion.

the gritty part in this trailer for cry engine 3 (the beginning)is aweful compared to KZ2(which is basically all gritty).

but jungles are insane (there are no jungles in KZ2 to compare it with)

so KZ2 engine Vs. vryengine 3 is really not a good comparison.

cool, I dont need an nvidia gforce blah, bla, blah to play crysis in my xbo360..he he he ...
