Crytek, the creators of Crysis and the original Far Cry, announced today it will demonstrate its CryENGINE 2 game development middleware and their Sandbox 2 game editor again at this year's Game Developer Conference in San Francisco.

CryENGINE 2 will be shown for the first time running on multiple hardware platforms, including the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

Cevat Yerli, Sten Hübler and Bernd Diemer will host a GDC session entitled "Crysis in the Making", providing a behind the scenes look at the developing of Crysis and the CryENGINE 2. Additionally, there will be various conference sessions involving key Crytek technical staff.


And the devolpers said the consoles were not powerful enough...but niether the 360 or ps3 support directX 10...so wonder how good it will look and what they will strip out of the game so it can run on the console hardware??

A few month before the game I remember reading an articule about how they said the 360 and PS3 weren't powerful enough to run the game...

now a less then a year later they are going to demo the game engine on the 360 and ps3...looks like Crysis maybe coming to the home consoles after all...

whats the point of bringing the most powerful game engine ever created to a console which cant handle 1/10th of what its capable of???

I think you should take a wait and see approach...it's hasn't even been demoed yet....so we really don't know what it will look like or what will be cut out or water downed to be able to play it on a console system....

becuase if that 1/10th is better then most game enginges currently for consoles then they will be millionaires. what businessman wouldnt want to get the most money out of their product?

 

[Jake]

thats the point,there are just doing it for the money...if you knew more about the developers,you would know that from day 1 they have said they would never come to consoles,they didnt want to jepordize the integrity of their product by having it not used to its full potential on consoles.

i found it refreshing that for once somebody showed some loyalty and wanted to keep their engine on a PC platform...should of known they could get bought out just like everybody else
