A bunch of new CryENGINE 3 direct feed screens

Crytek has released a solid amount of direct-feed shots from CryENGINE 3.

The ign video quality was really bad..but by these screens..wow..i'm really impressed by this running on consoles

[butbutbuttehcell]

Jeeze those screens look quality! Crysis pushing the bar again I see. Just imagine what their next PC engine will look like!

[Dark_Vendetta]

I think a few other ones look even better. First I was somehow disappointed by the engine but this makes me excited again

[crazy-eyez-killah]

Some of those images are user created with Cryengine 2.. And some are old. The only ones that are CE3 are the ones that are from the trailer. The website needs to correct this because people are going to start flaming how good one or another console is when half of them are from PC. For example shots 6,7,8,11,12,13 are part of mods and are not running on consoles!

One of the mods can be seen here I think: http://crymod.com/thread.ph...

And shots 1,4,9 are from an old Cryengine 2 tech demo.

[SupaPlaya]

nice

[Doctor_Doom]

I guess we have a winner for the best next generation game Engine

Good work Crytek

Now, we need a game using this phenomenal ENGINE

[HighDefinition]

The All Seeing Eye is ALWAYS a good one.

[II Necroplasm II]

We just can not escape the All Seeing Eye :(

[GVON]

the shots and vid from gdc thanks to gamersyde

http://www.gamersyde.com/ne...

from those shot's it's only a few of the forest shots that look good,the rest are a little meh

for example

I like these

@1.9 I thought i'd seen some before but according to gamersyde these were sent out by crytek.

[fanboi hater]

exactly people are going crazy over this right now but most of those are from the pc version, of those some are modded. So before all of you fanbois get your panties in a bunch over arguing whether uncharted KZ2 or cryengine 3 look better you may want to make sure the displayed screens are actually from cryengine 3. On another note i won't judge until i see a direct feed from a console in HD. Personally judging from the trailer that was released KZ2 looked better although I'll concede that it was a low quality video. However, after seeing KZ2 in action it takes a lot to impress me on consoles. However, I'll also concede that crysis on PC has no competitors graphically. Thus why these screens look so fantastic ... there from PC... get ur facts straight before you run your mouth please.
Thanks

[DeadlyFire]

@1.1. This is the next PC engine from them. CryEngine 3 is for PC, PS3 and X360. Learn and Read the net people. Its still CryEngine 2.5 as far as I can see. It was rebuilt to optimize consoles and PC platform with enough upgrades to call it 3. I assume.

[M337ING]

Half of these are freaking PC mods of CE2.

[frayer]

Unimpressed. Just Crysis down ported to consoles. Uncharted looks better.

edit: People were arguing that Killzone and Uncharted both looked better than Crysis on PC. You think varying opinions won't think the same now that it is down ported to consoles? Take the xbox underwear off for a second.

Really?

http://gallery.thatvideogam...
http://gallery.thatvideogam...

lol everyone with a clear head knows that the CryENGINE is the top dog of all game engines to date.

[butbutbuttehcell]

lol how dumb people can be on this site. Uncharted looks better? Puhlease! Anyone who doesn't spend their life with their penis in a PS3 disc drive will know that's bull. Y do people think it looks that good? It had nice graphics but not this good you numpty.

"Just Crysis down ported to consoles"
If you're not aware, Crysis has the best graphics ever so far lol.
"Just the best looking game ever ported to consoles"
That's a pretty dumb statement

[FragMnTagM]

These are not the greatest screenshots in the world, but from them you can tell that they are leaps and bounds better than anything on consoles to date.

But you will never see it because you like those goggles so much.

[FragMnTagM]

...has light filtering through the leaves on the trees. Hint! take the goggles off and look at the big leaf that is filtering the sunlight.

[JeffGUNZ]

Come on, this engine is the one the beat right now, uncharted doesn't compare to this engine, nor does KZ2.

[Sarcasm]

I'm just happy that this could finally challenge the Unreal Engine in terms of 3rd party licenses.

[solidt12]

Hard to compare Crysis with Uncharted 2 because the art styles are way different. But I can't say Crysis looks better than Killzone 2 from looking at those pictures, but it may be in the ball park. I have to see it running on a console first.

[360 man]

looooooooooooooooooool

uncharted looks like a cartoon compared to this

seriously.

[Doctor_Doom]

KZ2 was one of the best until cryengine 3 showed up

Four years down the drain j/k XD

lol at those who think it looks better than KZ2

[JokesOnYou]

"Unimpressed. Just Crysis down ported to consoles. Uncharted looks better."

-Oh come on, are you serious...I mean Uncharted looks great no doubt but saying it looks better than what imo looks like some of the best in game screens for a console is laughable, lmfao remember though this isn't a full game, just tech showing whats possible on consoles with CryEngine. All you did was start a BS comparison for 2 games that don't need to be compared.

JOY

[GUNS N SWORDS]

uncharted and killzone2 don't use Parallax mapping.

http://gallery.thatvideogam...

[NickIni]

Only game comparable really is KZ2, but like has been said, vastly superior to Uncharted graphically.

[terrandragon]

It's hard to say no fanboy BS when you just said take off the xbox underwear.

[Why dis]

Just how long did expect to boast Uncharted and KZ2 as console pinnacles? I said a few weeks ago something would come along in a few weeks that would cause folks to reflect on kz2 hype, shamefully I might add. The games you try to boast were beat ages ago.

[Nikkelz]

looks like the MOST REALISTIC,LUSHEST,VIBRANT forest/jungle ive ever seen in a video game,REAL TALK

and to the people that say that uncharted looks better than this,uncharted didnt really have an interactive JUNGLE,the game was THE SH*t but it was very linear in that regard,THIS IS OPEN WORLD

peace and game on

[green]

My God!!!..look at image 13 http://gallery.thatvideogam... looks real.

[II Necroplasm II]

Whoops, this page doesn't seem to exist!

[TheColbertinator]

Ah mah eyes,they bleed

[Gun_Senshi]

Crysis is more graphical under ultra....

Also you cannot compare CryENGINE to KZ2. Both cater for different type of art direction. One is dark and gritty other is colourful

[Sir Ken_Kutaragi]

I'm playing a better Version of those Photos NOW???
i.e KILLZONE 2!!! ;-P

+ I want to see the xBox 360 version, you know it's from the -
'CrymeariverENGINE 3'!!! ;-D

[II Necroplasm II]

you was right Kutaragi the PS3 is Twice as powerful as the Xbox360!

Oh wait..

[360 man]

why do u love chattin shiit

[JeffGUNZ]

Tell me, how is Killzone 2 selling compared to Microsofts two top exclusives, halo and Gears?

Oh.

Not close at all.

[Sir Ken_Kutaragi]

'It's the MUPPET SHOW!!!' ;-D

[Sir Ken_Kutaragi]

WOW!!! LOOK!!! xBox 360 can do AMAZING Water effects on their version of CryingENGINE 3...Look...

http://www.nintendoworldrep...

;-D

Bye bye i'm off to play 'KillZone 2' ;-P
+ I don't have to WAIT for a Next-gen game, i got it NOW!!!;)

[II Necroplasm II]

I don't speak Robot

[Deadman64]

lmao 50 bucks to the person who can find a pic of sir ken!!

[xbollox]

bubble for that
i can't wait to see how they're gonna fit on DVD9
"pleade insert CrymeariverENGINE disc 3"
lol

back to killzone 2

[xg-ei8ht]

I'd agree.

both uncharted and crysis are going for a totally different look and feel.

Plus on and fps and other is tps/

Some things ingame Uncharted did very well, textures,lighting,cinematics.a nimations.

Crysis is rendering alot more foliage, as going for a realistic looking world, kinda like KILLZONE2 does, but on another horrid looking planet.

I don't doubt, crytek and naughty dog are some of the best devs in the business.

But real skill comes from an engine that is both versatile and runs well on lower specs machines, SMOOTHLY!!!!

But lets be honest here.

Crytek didn't aim for low spec pc's, They used every resource they could. They had intel,amd,ati,nvidia,ms. All that their studio to get the most from each platform for crysis.

I'm not complaining. I love graphics.

Environmental Wise, nothing has touched killzone2, even on pc, and even crysis.

[Rich1631]

I swear I am the only one UNIMPRESSED with this, Killzone 2 and Uncharted look much better and that is no fanboy sh!t. Play either one of those games on a 55"+ 1080p HDTV and then get back to me. Cause they look SO MUCH BETTER THAN THAT!

[NickIni]

I don't understand how you can claim that. Beautiful games KZ2 and Uncharted are, yes, but this is way ahead of Uncharted, similar graphically to Killzone 2, but of course that is an odd comparison as they both have very different art styles.

[ultimolu]

The water looks stunning.

[Triple_A]

CryEngine makes the most realistic jungles, no doubt about it.

JeffGUNZ, yeah, this engine is impressive when it comes to the jungle environments but that's pretty much it.

IMO, Crytek really needs to bring their artistic talents up to match the tech behind their engine.

[ps92117]

So I am suppose to belive that some company with low budget, no expirience with consoles, created and engine for 2 drastacilly different architechture that can achive graphics better than an engine specifaclly made for one console by the company that made the console, and had unlimited funds. I smell some BS here. Is one thing that the engine can achive that performance is another that the consoles themselvs can.

[kumashii38]

the problem is whether the engine can handle actual games.
Can CryENGINE3 run at solid framerate in game?
if not, the engine is almost useless.

[xg-ei8ht]

Not sure why i got disagrees, but if you have, why not explain why you do.

Its called opinion.

Try it. It's good!!!

[Socomer 1979]

were all hoping this engine will look as good when it reaches consoles but does it ever?
no.
It takes like 5 years to reach the full potential of the tech demos you see.
We've just seen this. So now expect a long wait to actually see it run.
Just being honest for a second here.

[Fishy Fingers]

"So now expect a long wait to actually see it run. "

Or.... http://www.n4g.com/events_g... < "According to Crytek, the trailer features both Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 footage."

[Fishy Fingers]

http://gallery.thatvideogam...

^Gorgeous. Looks like everyone will eventually get to play 'Crysis' how it should be rather than the low res, jaggy mess it was on most peoples PCs. Not mine ;)

[chidori666]

yep, the cryengine 2.5 NOT surpasses the engine of kill zone 2

[IQUITN4G]

Wow do you love your Sony machihes enough to dismiss this obviously superior engine

Truth is people outside of sites like this wont be able to tell a difference even if an engine was even say 3x as good as they are here - the graphics here are perfectly exceptional and any advantage PS3 has wont be noticed anyway

It's true that any obvious visual bettering of another console is considered a reason to get one over another but the difference between the two what with engines like this, are gone - 360 will be just fine

[MrJack]

http://i34.tinypic.com/huhh...

VS

http://gallery.thatvideogam...

But CryEngine 3 is still in early development, so who knows.

[Sarcasm]

Yeah but everything is supposed to be interactive in CryEngine 3. As great as uncharted looks, it's not the most physics heavy game.

[Doctor_Doom]

INDEED /s

[NickIni]

One unflattering screenshot vs a flattering one.

Hell, with the right screenshots, you could claim Halo CE looked better than the CryENGINE.

[billybob2468]

Wow, these look damn respectable, but the thing that worries me is this:
http://gallery.thatvideogam...
It says the allocated memory is over 600MB, so does that mean these are from a PC build? But even so if that's only using 600MB, that's some great news for PC gamers, right?

Edit-come to think of it, that "editor" is using up about 150MB, so maybe there's still hope for the consoles!

[IQUITN4G]

The picture you chose there for this new engine was basically just a hut though wasn't it

[MrJack]

As they both show off similar aspects of the game, Uncharteds building work graphics, compared to crysis, hang on, let me get some others...

Uncharted 2:
http://img514.imageshack.us...

VS

CryEngine 3:
http://gallery.thatvideogam...

Uncharted is still the clear winner in my opinion, but I guess its unfair to compare, as the CryEngine 3 has only been used in a tech demo so far.

[360 man]

mr jack i dont even think uncharted can even render foilage as detailed as this

http://gallery.thatvideogam...

and this

http://gallery.thatvideogam...

[Doctor_Doom]

what happened to your other accounts Nasim ???

why are you repeating the same thing over and over again ??

[MrJack]

Tell me, how do sales directly relate to graphical power? Sales aren't relevant here, we are comparing graphics.

Dumbass...

[JeffGUNZ]

Tell me where in the original article is Killzone 2 mentioned anywhere?

Dumbass.....

This isn't an article about which engine is better, it's all about pictures taken from cryengine. No where in this article is it comparing it to ANYTHING. That fanboy brought up KZ2, not me.

The main point is, graphics don't sell games, just look at the sales difference for halo 3 and KZ2.

You're the dumbass.

By the way, you're pathetic, how many accounts do you have? Or did you just change your name from nasim because everyone couldn't stand you or take you serious with that name? I can't wait till you ruin this name too.

[WengYong]

Okay so what are you saying exactly ?? That sales determines whats better ? Okay then going by that logic The Wii is better than the PS3 and the 360 ?Wii Sports is superior to Gears because its sold more ? A Toyota Camry is better than a McLaren f1 GTR because its sold more ?

Gears is a wicked game. But dont be a bot and say just because its sold more than another great game. They are both fantastic and frankly both superior to Halo, which is the biggest load of garbage ever

[Chrisy]

HAHA, I knew that IGN video look like ass solely because of the bad compression.

So yeah, Killzone2 destroyed. Sfags committing suicides and writing petitions for exclusivity again hur hur. What now? Wait for Killzone 3?

Anyways this and Rage in 09?? Finally PC graphics on consoles.

PC crysis still lightyears supperior though

BAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Gamersyde has an extended version of that video and they have both the 360 and ps3 version compared. The obviously inferior version is the ps3 that has ZERO AA like all POS3 games. AHHAHAHAHAHA crytek trolls ps3 lika a pro! Thats why some of the shots look like ass..........they are the ps3 version HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

http://www.gamersyde.com/ne...

1:20 - 1:23

360>PS3

The 360 lightning also appears to be better.

[360 man]

oh i wanna see

link pretty pleeeeease

[chidori666]

cryengine 2.5 CONFIRMED.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

I'd LOVE to see Crysis on PS3!!! I love it on PC! Mod support, please?

[manwich25]

I wanna see Bungie get their hands on the Cryengine 3.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

...and do what with it?

Halo 4?

Haven't they disappointed gamers enough?

[manwich25]

how about a next Gen Marathon, or Pimps at Sea

[Antan]

All of these won`t mean a great deal unless the framerate is at least 30fps stable. We`ve seen lots of really great looking games in the past, but the illusion is somewhat spoilt by inconsistent framerates. Heres hoping Crytek can pull this one off.

[N4PS3G]

Uncharted looking better than this???

Oh boy! and i thought that Nintendo GDC keynote was hilarious ... this wins by a landslide

[kazan]

the "this"you are referring to is not a game yet, when we see the actual games then we can start comparing..

[maverick1191]

typical xbums going off sales sales dont say how the game plays everyone knows killzone 2 sh!ts on all xbox games graphically and gameplay hell even the odd fanboy admits it MS fanboys STOP JUDGING EVERYTHING BY SALES

[Phantom_T]

Crysis has better graphics than Killzone 2.
Fact.
Killzone 2 just has a better artistic style and atmosphere.
Do not confuse graphics with style,ever i can admit that and i think KZ > Crysis.

[crillyconlig]

your looking at a number of pc screen shots there, dont get too excited

[ShinFuYux]

The second engine made the colors look like water colors, a bit flat.

This third one looks like they fixed the colors a bit. But, it still doesn't awe me.

[Cowzilla3]

they're purdy.

[THE_BATTLERAGER]

It looks more like CryEngine 2.5 than 3. It's nothing like the CryEngine 1 to 2 advancement. Have consoles held back technological advance? I'll still be playing this one on the PC, but I am very excited to see what can be done on console. Halo 4 to be done on CryEngine? We can dream. Goodbye Unreal Engine, you were only ever mediocre anyway.

[BIOSHOT]

this is a engine demo end you compare this to one single game. lets say it does look better than killzone2. does this mean 360 wil have games looking better than kz2? hellnooooooooooooo! we have kz2 next uncharte2 next god of war3 next lets hope crysis four games with monster graphics end amazing phiysics on the same console. stop the hate sale yous 360 end get a f@@king ps3.

[Gitaroo]

half of them are fake old shots from Cryengine 2 PC. Nice try to make it look good.

[BIOSHOT]

[trancefreak]

The good news is that crytek isnt slamming us with a quick port for a quick buck on crysis.

Now it looks as if crytek is finessing/optimizing their engine for ps3 and xbox 360 in a serious fashion.

They are looking to consoles to make money while bringing cutting edge tech for gamers to experience.

I think this good news which could also bring more longevity with this tech to consoles,

[MrJack]

Uncharted renders foliage just as detailed, just no where near as much. Uncharted IN MY OPINION is far more visually pleasing, everything just looks fantastic and vibrant.

And Jimmy, I haven't been here long, who is this 'Nasim' I have never seen him on here, heard others talk about him though, though I'm guessing he was a major fanboy right? Like the PS3's Why Dis?

[3sq]

Cryengine 3 looks too realistic. I have no intention of playing games that look like movies.

Art direction/style is what makes games attractive. Not ultra-realistic, realistic = generic and boring.

[Jonelo]

LOL !! A lot of people , made comparations with screens of a mod for Crysis , made by a user with the Cryengine 2 .

http://gallery.thatvideogam...

http://gallery.thatvideogam...

This is another PC screen, of a mod for Crysis - with the Cryengine 2 ;)

http://gallery.thatvideogam...

Maybe we can be employ those mods in the future , in the PS3 or the 360 XD , in "Crysis 2 the post-apocaliptic desert " for console .
