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.





I see your point, and I also think for PC players of the game, it could be good because when Crysis 2 comes out, people won't need an alien like computer just to get a decent framerate out of it.
