Epic Games Founder- Crytek Sacrificing Larger Market, Tangible Visuals Decade Away

SKOAR! writes "...Covering a wide range of subjects Sweeney discusses his early heyday projects and moves to current generation technology powering P.C's and consoles. He cities that although Crysis may be pushing technological barriers for most of the competition, its scalability on current generation consoles remains dwarfed and inconsistent thereby omitting a larger section of the gaming market that is currently thriving on their 360 and PS3s."

Seems like an old interview. With that said, he's right. The one thing I noticed about the Unreal Engine 3 was that it was highly scalable. Look at Gears 360 & then for the PC, and Gears PC looks 10X better. Nevertheless, Crytek has made or is in the process of a new engine that has currently addressed this issue of scalability with their new graphics engine, CryEngine 3.
