They are not ID or Epic ,crytek is just upcoming dev , nothing to wet youself over!!
Crytek game was average, the graphics were hardware focused ,their talent has not been proven yet.
With high spec PC games most all dev teams can get performance out of them with becaauce of sheer ram and power..
no big deal Crytek engine is MEH....i didn't see anything that blows me away the way Imax HD or PS3 GT5 did my first time...etc.
Be realistic Crytek is ok...
BUt ID, will rage on them!=)

Crysis got a 91 on Metacritic and Gamerankings. How is that 'average'.

"no big deal Crytek engine is MEH"

So according to you, the most powerful graphics engine ever created is 'meh'? Play the games before you talk sh1t about them, dumbass.
