I congradulate dk3dknight and xtop for finding this info. Theres no footage of CryENGINE 2 running yet, but still, could this REALLY mean that Crysis could be coming to the PS3?

I hope so.

Your welcome.

For those who are at work...



It's no secret that CryTek is bringing over its revolutionary CryENGINE over to PS3. In fact, they showed off some behind-the-scenes demos to developers at GDC. While CryTek doesn't confirm the long-rumored PS3 version of Crysis in their interview with IGN, they do make a few notes about the process of bringing such a power-hungry engine over to Sony's home console.

Harald Seeley, Engine Business Manager for CryTek, said "there is no doubt that porting our engine to the PlayStation 3 is the more challenging of our two ongoing conversion projects [Xbox 360 and PS3]." However, that isn't necessarily a bad thing: "that works to our advantage in the end. We feel certain we have the ability to get the most that is possible out of that platform, and therefore PS3 games which run on our engine in the future will definitely stand significantly apart from other games that don't."

While we still haven't seen footage running on a PS3, Seeley is confident that the engine will look like nothing else on consoles so far. "We expect the final outcome will result in games that look like they're running at high settings, or nearly high settings, on a PC." We'd love to see what CryTek is capable of pulling off.

That screen shot looks impressive. I wonder what engine GTAIV is running on. Thanks for the article xtop and dk3dknight

on PC you have high, very high, and ultra high... if it's only near high than it won't be as badass as you guys are hoping for.

[dk3dknight]

Im more or less happy about more engines being provided,
oh and about the question about gta's engine.

Gta 3, vice, and san used a engine called renderware
Gta 4 will use a engine called RAGE Rockstar Advanced Game Engine

I think sometimes theres a advantage to building your own engine instead
of using someone elses...

[DaMexiRican]

Even if it runs on high instead of the higher pc versions i don't care. As long as it still looks great and is a great game to play is all that matters to me.

Great little quote there.
