Not a direct reply to the second post:
Cryengine 3 is not a dumbed down engine. Its ofcourse dumbed down for consoles but also Cryengine 3 on PC>Cryengine2 on PC>Cryengine 3 on Consoles.
Its not that hard to understand but I really read this often that someone says. Yeah but Cryengine 2 is still better because Cryengine 3 runs also on Consoles.
I am really curios what effect the word scalable will have. If its really scalable thee wont be a need for another engine for the next years. If you see how long UE 3 is on the market and this is not a scalable engine then cryengine 3 will be there forever.
I think Cryengine 2 wasnt used by most developers because it is so hardware hungry.
Now they optimize it so it can run also on consoles. Maybe this will lead to a broader use of the engine. What if most future multiplats will use Cryengine 3 ?
I hope this engine is gona be as good as they say and that everybody uses it for new games.
