Forums - Gaming - Crytek: no other engine can match CryEngine 3

Every game?

I'm certain that littebigplanet would not be possible in CryEngine 3



Around the Network

What's Kingdoms being made on?



 

dang cocky much



Don't think any of you realise there has been a Public Crysis 2 multiplayer demo on xbox live all day aswell as Bullet Storm demo. Crysis 2 looks very good but Bullet Storm looks just as good.

This is Cryteks first console game and Epic has been leading the graphics on the xbox since 2006 so they did good. I'm more interested in what they can achieve with Kingdoms to be honest.

Yeah, still trying to see where he said what's in the title.

vg247 and Nsanity, be better than that.


"Despite claims that the company has “never cared about what competitors do”, Crytek CEO Cevat Yerli told CVG that “any other game that has been shipped with out competitors’ engines could have been done with the Crytek engine.”"

pretty much says that no other engine can do what Cry engine can do which is everything it's not true and the title is sensationalist tho...

oh and this

“… Whether our engine is better or not is something to be judged by the people who use the engine, but I can say that Crysis 2 wouldn’t have been possible with any other engine.”

See, I read that as "Crysis 2 is so tailored to our engine that it wouldn't be  possible with any other engine".  Then again, that's the less sensational (i.e. traffic getting) interpretation ...

so from any other game could could be made in the Cryengine 3 and no other engine could do Crysis 2, isn't claiming that their engine is better than everyone else's? The logical interpretation from those two quotes  is that Cryengine 3 is able to both deliver everything that competing engines are capable of (shipped with our competitors engines could have been done with the Crytek engine) and that Cryengine 3 can do things that no other engine can (Crysis 2 wouldn’t have been possible with any other engine) yes it's marketing hype and the title sensationalised but there is grounds for the title and it's not an outright lie, IMO anyway...
