Cry Engine 2/3 deserves to be 1st placed.

I agree with this. I wasn't too fond of Crysis, but there is no denying Crytek has made one of the most capable engines ever.

The Source engine should be in there somewhere too.



GOTY Contestants this year: Dead Space 2, Dark Souls, Tales of Graces f. Everything else can suck it.

Doh, we all know CANVAS should be there :D

This gen is all about UT3-engine. Epic really made a hit with this beast. Heck, even Square Enix used this for a JRPG...

I always like the valve-engines. L4D worked great years after the release of the source-engine.



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

CryEngine 3. That is all...

CryEngine 2 is the best engine available, and CryEngine 3 will be the best engine when it gets released, unless it's completely dumbed down because of consoles (which I don't believe right now, though I don't think it's impossible either).

Also, the list should be more specific about Unreal Engine. There's more than just one version of it. As far as I know, there's at least Unreal Engine, Unreal Engine 2, Unreal Engine 2.5, and Unreal Engine 3. And I'm not completely sure how much they're related to each other. Still, I'm sure they're referring to Unreal Engine 3.


CryEngine 3 is an upgrade in every possible way over 2. It is just compatiable with the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.

Oh and that Tec Demo somebody showed of Cry Engine 3, that was running on Xbox 360 hardware and some scenes on the Playstation 3.

I'll link everybody to a better video, it tells you which scene is being ran on which console. Can't wait to see what they do with Crysis 2 on consoles

It will be interesting to see it running on a top of the range PC.

lol the fact that they put in the first 2 places engines that were used in just one game and didn't prove anything makes this list epic fail. how we can know Uncharted and Killzone 2 engines are any good if we didn't see them in anything else? those engines proves only that they were written for specific games and that doesn't make them great, not even close when developers of those games who also made those engines knew their limitations and how to work with them to hide it.
no Cry Engine? no Oblivion Engine? no Rage Engine?
obviously Unreal Engine 3 should be on the 1st place - it's the most flexible and powerful engine this gen - just look in how many diffrent games it was used.



Yeah the Chrome Engine! :



I'm surprised no one is mentioning the source engine.

UE3 is not in first place because many games using it suffer from pop in and frame rate issues.
