Check out Crytek's Latest Work on CryEngine 3

[jeverson]

That's very cool... but real time being run on what and at what settings?

 

[razor512]

Now using current high end hardware, render a city scene with many people and vehicles. If that cant be done then it will be years before most gamers will have hardware that can make use of the engine.

 

[ryandsouza]

Makes me wonder if I'll ever be able to run something like this....

[citation][nom]jasonpwns[/nom]Look up unreal engine 3.971 please.[/citation]
Yeah, I am comparing this to the latest tech demo of UE. The UE is still nowhere near this.

 

[aaron88_7]

[citation][nom]Annisman[/nom]Just wish they bothered to make Crysis 2 anywhere near this, lazy console lovers...[/citation]
It's not being lazy, it's being a software developer. You can't keep talent if you don't pay them, and if you aren't selling games you won't have anything to pay them.

Vid looks good to me, but it should considering it's being run "real time" on high powered workstations. We'll see what it'll look like when it's actually released.

lets take this step by step.

0:00 - 0:15 unimpressive, you have grass trees and a person with background objects too...
0:15 - 0:25 this is nice, in a mod sense. also for easier development.
0:25 - 0:39 cant comment, im not in the industry so i don't see what is impressive here.
0:40 - 0:49 nothing impressive here, they are showing trees, shadows, dof, and a person you never see close up. you want me excited about trees, show me the wire frame and how much of them are flat images to give an illusion.
0:50 - 1:30 FIRST MILDLY IMPRESSIVE THING. take out the car, and the building, this is showing off reflections and lighting. current gen CONSOLE hardware can make a real looking car, and a real looking building, but this lighting? i wish they would have had it in a less... canned way of showing it off.
1:31 - 1:46 i believe they are showing off 40+ balls not 40+ people. as i have no idea what a current mocap requires i cant comment,
1:47 - 1:56 i cant comment because i dont see whats special about what they are showing off.
1:57 - 2:45 i see nothing impressive, they are attempting to show off a graphics engine by showing off a car, which makes no sense, and even less sense in a closed room. the lighting that was shown earlier was more impressive than the end.

the unreal 3 recent engine demo was FAR more impressive than this given that it showed off a person, something FAR harder to do than a car, and gave it a non canned feel. that tech demo looked like a trailer for a game, not just something there to show off the engine.

[citation][nom]Formata[/nom]I'm liking all this blurred 'depth of field' stuff with this demo and the Unreal one.[/citation]

That "blurred depth of field" is called bokeh. It's on of my favorite effects when doing photo shoots.

@alidan
Hate to burst your bubble but this isn't a graphics tech demo but a demo showing the cinematic tools.

 

[tony singh]

Cry engine failed to make me WOW!! Unreal Engine 3.975 seemed much more real.

 

[Kryan]

is that Bam Margera in the suit?

 

[verbalizer]

the video had a few decent moments but not overly impressed..

 

[verbalizer]

at first I thought that was Bam too.. LOL

 

[mlopinto2k1]

I don't know which I was more interested in, the video or the soundtrack.

 

[mlopinto2k1]

[citation][nom]malmental[/nom]at first I thought that was Bam too.. LOL[/citation]Me too!

 

[thechief73]

I just cannot believe how many of you are so unimpressed with this Crytech or the Unreal Engine(Keep in mind how many years this has been in development). You must have been spoiled by having the latest and greatest all the time, especially alidan, you were that unimpressed you were inspired to write that? I thought both these engines are amazing and it shows that there is still hope for the future of PC gaming.

If your having problems understanding my view, power up your old P4 system, load up Wolfenstein 3D or Doom and prepair to be impressed

 

[dark_lord69]

Looks great! actually, it looks like graphics in some of the next gen games are getting closer to photo realism.
The Realtime graphics shown used to be only possible in a cinematic video.
The downside: Looks like I'll be needing a newer video card. My HD4870 won't pull out graphics like those.

 

[shovenose]

lol

 

[marraco]

It shows lot of metal textures, which are the easier to draw. Only newbies are fooled by it.
Just look at the floor under the car. It looks like plastic.

See all the floors. All flat, single texture. The cheat named "depth of field" blurs it so it does not look as fake as really it's.

An impressive cinema demo should do human skin.

The introductory scene is crap. Vegetation turns very fast to a single, ugly-colored texture. No detail. Looks very bad. Really, really bad.

It's a step back from Far Cry 2 and Crysis 1

unlike UE3 this isn't running on 2000$ hardware - its running parallel on xbox360, ps3 AND pc hardware - check on gametrailers.com if you want to see some more of these techdemos - this video is about the *making*, its not aimed at gamers but at possible licensees...

 

[youssef 2010]

let's wait until 2014 until a GPU can play it on a 30" monitor, shall we?

very little was moving objects, the last demos of cry engine 3 the animation was not smooth like it should be. what is the movement capture rate of the motion capture sensors? definetly not enough frames per second or enough motion capture sensors. i think it's the clothing the unitard suit does not capture the clothing movement over the body or wind thru the leaves and grass very well. it doesn't help the trees were blowing side to side while the leaves were falling back to front or verticle if that was the zoom.
those are the things that bug me the most.
maybe i'm too picky. but a lighting capture system needs to be developed much like the mo-caps. then things would start to look real.

Crytek just kicked UE3 (3.9714 pi r squared) in the junk.

Everything in that UE3 video, even the cigarette, looked like it was molded in plastic.

I second that.

 

[rhino13]

So, it looks like Crysis is trying to get James Cameron's attention for the next Avatar.
Notice it said "For Cinema"

 

[kesgreen]

Will this be used in the finished release of Minecraft I wonder?
