Saw the demo running on a naff PC the other night and yes, all the settings were low etc., and the frame rate was choppy, but the game still looked good and the physics were awesome. It can only be alot better on the consoles from what I saw the other night.

I hope the gameplay translates well for you console guys. We all know (of course) the graphics will be cut back. But even at that the game should still look on par with the other FPS games on the market. Which is not that bad at all.

3.1 - Agreed
They should show Crysis running on both systems and give a release date for it. If they just show the engine running on the 360 and PS3 and not even have a real game for it, that would be lame. I know the GDC is more for the Game Developers but if they use just to sell the engine, that would suck.

It'll be good to have another Engine for Devs to use other that the Unreal engine.
Then there may be some variation in how the games look.

Indeed the competition will only make both engines better faster.

6 - Crysis
Crysis is a FANTASTIC game, its basically a insanely fun physics engine with an awesome game built around it. I feel that people downplay the gameplay because of the great graphics however because they dont want to give the game a 10/10 (maybe they feel it's pretentious?)

I loved it (even on low settings ;) )

Very immersive

I hope they've engineered their engine to work efficiently on whichever console they've ported it to. I'd hate to see a dumbed down version of an angine due to one console or the other. The engine should take advantage of each platform's strengths.

"multiple hardware platforms such as the PS3 and Xbox 360"

Such as? so it could be on the wii for all we know or MAC (i realise thats very very unlikely though)?

This will be interesting to see how good the engine is on Consoles, epic may have a battle on there hands, which is all the better for us gamer's.

I don't expect anything near what they accomplish on PC's, that would be illogical considering the obvious hardware differences(unless you are wearing you fanboy goggles). It will be interesting to see what they can do with the next gen consoles.

There are many alternatives to the Unreal Engine. It is chosen by Development houses instead of these other engines for reasons. Whatever those reasons -- I dont know, but the industry doesnt exactly have a lack of engines.

id has its Tech series that they are going to focus on licensing more, but the old engine (series4) was used in 3rd party titles.

Zonetrooper five.... seems liek you were overly insulted by his admittedly incorrect statement. Don't point and shout at fanboy remarks if you're no better. And so openly.

He never even mentioned the 360, and you assume he's slagging it off. Maybe you should grow up.

thats not an error, thats lasting truth, no pc has 2.18tflops and growing, and nor can i play GT5 and wardevil on any pc either, so my statement is correct, and fanboyism doesnt live in me, only you all.

so you grow up

If you had seen the PM's he had sent me then you could cleary see he is a fanboy, he talks as if the PS3 is some sort of unlimited power supply to devs which is not true and he called the 360 a 180. I do admit I was heavy handed by responding in such a fashion so sorry about that. However, you can tell he is fanboy but the statements he produces.
