Something beautiful that would never run on any current gen console. It's easy to make something beautiful. The real challenge is to make it work with limited resources and Crytek sucks majorly at that. They just pile up more and more visual effects and after that are boasting that you would need to have a monster PC to actually run it. That's actually quite pitiful. |
That's simply not true in any way at all, other than Crytek suck at optimisation. First of all, its hard to make something beautiful as you need a well styled engine to achieve good results. Secondly, with limited resources all you need is good optimisation (draw distance, polygons, textures etc) to ensure it'd work on a variety of platforms. The issue Crytek have is they just don't know how to optimise code well. If we look at Chrome Engine, great results were achieved on that with minimal power - I'm sure the same can be done with CryEngine.
