Looks like GDC is going to be really good for us gamers. Alot stuff thats going to be announced.

Shepherd 2146296d ago

yea its a good thing they are doing this. Most likely consoles will benefit from this, and its a good move on Crytek's part because that means they will make money off of console games. Its hard to imagine how they make money right now with all the PC piracy going around. I was at my buddy's house the other day playing Crysis on his kickass PC. Of course he got Crysis from the Pirate Bay though. See what i mean? There are thousands more that do the same thing.

Ruind6295d ago

There are hundreds of thousands that do the same thing. But one pirated game does not equate to a lost sale.

Making money off a PC game? I know it's too easy to bring up WoW, but you just can't ignore over $100 million... PER MONTH!!! I think it's safe to say that tops every console game ever (as far as revenue is concerned; calm down console fanboys).

Shepherd 2146295d ago

well yea in the case of WoW of course piracy doesnt bother it. Most piracy is done with games that only have single player modes, because pirated games cant play online (they need one of those one-time use Key numbers) unless you do some annoying tweaking in order to play. Its games like Fallout 3, Crysis(Crysis has MP but SP is worth getting it alone) Fear 2(Same thing as Crysis), stuff like like that.

I want to say that this is CryEngine 2 with a ridiculous modifications so it can run excellently on consoles. heres hoping that that they put lots of consideration on running this engine on the PS3. I dont want to see another UE3, which a bunch a games didnt run well on the PS3 since the code for UE3 in the early days for the PS3 was just downright bad.

http://playstation.joystiq....

This was about 2 years ago, but you can see they were interested in PS3 development.

Nicolator6296d ago

with this .. killzone2 engine already has a adversary for graphic overlord on consoles..... CONSOLE GAMING FTW!!!

DeadlyFire6295d ago

CryEngine 2 wasn't capable of staying at or above 30 FPS on consoles. PS3 probably worked best for it, but they decided that it wasn't stable enough. Likely that problem has been fixed in CryEngine 3 as well as added bonus of more graphical changes and physics added. Its very likely that if they continue with this timescale that CryEngine 4 will be hitting in 2011 along with new consoles to compete with UE 4.0. Game engines control the playing field and the biggest one out there is UE right now. Looks alot like CryTek is fighting hard to become number 1 on all fronts.

Not only that, but this pretty much confirms that Timesplitters IV and Crysis 2 will use CE 3.0 for their development. As well as anything else that comes into the pipeline from Crytek for 2009/2010 development.

I guess at an adapted version of the current CryEngine 2. Build largely with console consideration in mind.

Cant wait to see what they've come up with. I've been dying to see what Crytek to accomplish with the unified hardware found in the consoles. Hopefully they can push on all platforms. Touch wood, they might have a new title;e to go along with it. Want to show (sell) people your tech, going it through a game is a great start, worked for UE3/Gears.

solar6296d ago

hmmmm....wonder what their source is. i see nothing about this on Crytek's home site. i see news about CryEngine 3 dated to hit in 2012 and this:

"Crytek is still working to increase efficiency with its CryEngine 2 for PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3 platforms. Yerli mentioned that the PlayStation 3 required an extra degree of work, but the company is convinced it's worth the effort to get the engine running properly on Sony's platform." from GCD Conference 2008 in Leipzig.

"The boast that CryENGINE 3 will be the first development platform for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, MMO, DX9/DX10 that also is truly Next-Gen-Ready"

So it will be for 360 and for PS3 too..

First read,then comment...

crazy-eyez-killah6295d ago (Edited 6295d ago )

I'm basing what I said it off what the CEO of Crytek said a few months ago:

During his keynote address in Singapore, Crytek's Cevat Yerli outlined a history of game graphics, then told his audience at the Games Convention Asia that the next generation of their proprietary technology would be available for the next generation of console hardware in 2012.

While PC hardware is in contestant flux, the consoles give developers a fixed window of constraints. And because Crytek games use high-tone graphics engines, they must start designing for the future.

Which means the company is starting to estimate when the next-gen consoles will be on the market. "Sony knows, but they wouldn't tell us," said Yerli. "But our estimate is 2011, or 2012." He adds that he expects the next Xbox a year before the PS4.

"The future, in our terms, starts next year. Next year we start researching our 2012 engine," the Crytek founder told the audience.

http://www.edge-online.com/...

Yes this new article does say it will be on PS3/360 but by the time the engine is complete its going to be nearly time for the next gen. If CryEngine 3 was to come gen then its not going to look much better than Cryengine 2 would look on consoles - as that was already nearly maxing them out.. If it does come this gen then its the PC owners that will really benefit as it will no doubt bring a game better looking than Crysis - Consoles cant even handle Crysis, so do people expect this to change things? They may get it a little more optimized but its still not going to look as good as Crysis.. Enjoy the downgraded graphics while I play it maxed out on a PC..

supremacy6296d ago

look the way i see it, other than 3rd party companies i dont see anyone else using this.

sony likes to keep everything close to the chest, as a result they are very likely to ignore this bit and continue as if nothing ever happened in the 1st place. and thus continue working on their own feedless properties.( which if you ask me i would do the very same).

with that said all of sonys internal studios and close partners are all likely to take the same approach/stand.

also if this is to compete with unreal and others than regardless of the tech the price has to be right, if not than its not happening.

We would probably say something like enjoy playing the game at sub HD resolutions and lo res textures but then PC gamers tend to have a bit more class than console gamers and they probably really couldn't give a stuff if the consoles get the game. All they care about is whether developing for the inferior console hardware will drag the PC version down as well.

when you spend around $3000 on a powerful PC you better get all the bells and whistles, but for around $700 dollars or less im more than please with the PS3/360 experience. The rest $2000 plus i use it to buy a very nice 46" Samsung and still had money on my pocket for a Home Theater system. So your comment is a poor comparison of products in way different price ranges.

Dont forget to upgrade the graphics card in less than a year for $500 more. Great to be a PC gamer, right?

And ofcourse timesplitters.

@No-SPin, change your name plz, because you are spinning things atm, i bought a i7 setup the day it launched, total costs, 1300 euro's

Charmers6296d ago

WOW no-spin how out of touch are you, I built my quadcore with an 8800gts at the same time the PS3 was release (over 2 years ago) it has never been upgraded and it cost me £80 more than the PS3. Now guess what......... yep that's right I am gaming at 1680 x 1050 and the PS3 is still stuck at 1280 x 720 or even LESS unless they do some bodge job faux 1080p res which isn't really 1080p but the fanboys won't accept that.

But hey if you are moronic enough to spend $3000 on a PC and upgrade it every 6 months with a $500 graphics card it is no wonder you are happy to pay $600 for three year old out dated technology.

Yeah Major_Tom it really made us squeal with laughter at the lo res textures, low resolution and frame rate drops. The fact you guys still believe a 2 year old console can even touch a PC in terms of graphics shows how little you know about technology.

It is immaterial really Crytek have gone the console route which means any games they produce now will be heavily crippled by out dated console technology.

solar6296d ago (Edited 6296d ago )

bubbles for you charmers.

i payed $600 dollars less for my gaming rig that runs Crysis at Ultra High Settings at 1920x1200 including my 24" monitor than my 46" 1080p Samsung TV for my ps3.

$1200 for my PC setup
$2300 for my ps3 setup

yep, console gaming is way cheaper. /rolleyes.

Edit****
Admit my PC knowledge is vague or worse, but still PC gaming is more expensive than console gaming, and the graphics card do change frequently. The $3000 tag i got it from the Alien ads on magazines, and since Alien is focused on gaming, i though it was general for all.

@foxgod: i challenge you to post a comment of mine that SPINS the news. I do favor the PS3, but i dont spin the articles. Prove me wrong i dare you. 360 is great, i like PS3 more so what. PC gaming i know nothing about, just that console gaming is cheaper. 1300 euros is more expensive in dollars, so your logic does not apply in the US

2nd Edit @charmers

dude, i just made it clear i know sh*t about building rigs so knock it off. The PS3 did came high priced at launch but it did offer Blue Ray and no need to upgrade hardware, so it was a one time buy for everything the PS3 has to offer. You prefer PC, good but in the long run it requires new graphics cards, and for what? one game like crysis and ... what else is there? i have over 10 excellent PS3 games and neither required an update for the hardware, so who is living in a fantasy world?

You can use your "High end" PC for Crysis and also Crysis and maybe Crysis... Oh yeah you can also use all that power to play StarCraft 2.

Charmers6296d ago (Edited 6296d ago )

no-spin when the PS3 launched it was the equivalent of $850 in the UK (it was £425 which at the time came to $850). I built my quadcore with 8800gts around the time the PS3 was launched in the UK it cost me £500 (or $1000) so for an extra $150 I got a machine which has yet to be upgraded that plays all games at 1680 x 1050 and I get my games at least $10 - $15 cheaper than you do.

You can live in your little fantasy world where you think PC's need to cost thousands and console gaming is a wonderful paradise. However I choose to live in reality where PC gaming can be done on a reasonable budget and still get better results than the consoles.

@ Whoooop please do keep going I haven't actually seen you mention a game I care about yet. Uncharted meh crappy, MGS4 erm I didn't think much to 1 and 2 why would I care about 4 ? I don't care about Killzone 2 because I have the superior Crysis and Warhead to keep me entertained. As for motorstorm I don't like racers so I really couldn't care. I don't even know what HS is and I have never played God of War so really couldn't care about the 3rd one but it looks like a typical console crap.

I am not seeking to convert anyone to PC gaming, in fact I would much rather people that have a consoles steer well clear of PC gaming we don't need ill informed console gamers.

I really couldn't give a stuff if the PS3 suits your needs or not (why would I ?) I merely commented that zoneofenders was actually wrong and most PC gamers really couldn't care less if some sliced to pieces version of Crysis ends up on the consoles. You are obviously quite happy with your low resolution graphics, childish control scheme and rip off game prices. However a lot of people still expect better than what the consoles can offer, I happen to be one of them.

PC hardware has never been cheaper.

i got my Q6600 for £120 about 1 year ago and that is 2.4GHz standard now 3.2GHz OC i can also go up high with voltage increase. standard fan sink set up

4GB DDR2 800MHz about £50
GTX 285 OC GPU @ 745MHz VRAM @ 2.8GHz DDR (Double Data Rate) and shaders @ 1.7GHz times 240 cores just short of £300

but you dont have to spend £300 on a good graphics card u can get a 9600GT for £70 and it will run everything max besides GTA IV which look way better than 360/ps3 version also crysis for things like AA and AS with crymod tweaks and mods

I'm going to have to agree with charmers on this one. I'm a pc gamer that's been trying to become more informed on consoles as of late. To be honest I'm completely surprised that kz2 is being touted as a visual masterpiece. I mean I look at it and think "oh...k"

Like I've said before I don't pub online games. So I'm really not interested in Halo or KZ2 or Crysis. competitive gaming is where it's at in this generation of gaming. It's just a shame console gamers can't experience it. and no playing against pub scrubs all day isn't competitive gaming.

Most pc gamers probably won't care at all about this news actually just as long as cryengine 3 isn't gimped because of console limitations.

And If I cared about 3rd person shooters I would have kept up with the metal gear series after solid. I have a ps2 and never bothered to pickup 2 or 3. the only console game I care about is the Resident Evil series but even the newer ones have a pc port.

You seem to think crysis is the pc's best fps...the game sucks dude. Nobody plays it online. CS 1.6 and source both put crysis to shame when your talking online gaming.

what's funny about console gaming is when I go out to a friends and play either halo or cod4 with friends I can usually keep an equal k:d ratio. But when these same friends play cod4 with me over the pc. They're usually dropping 2 kills and 20 deaths. You really shouldn't bring which control scheme is better and requires more skill. Keyboard and Mouse will ALWAYS without a shadow of a doubt be the superior setup. Just about every n4g regular here that considers themselves a gamer would not argue that. only the fanboy blind faithful would.

solar6295d ago

@pwn

the analog stick is an inferior control scheme to the K&M for FPS's. plain and simple. like a console is an inferior gaming platform to the PC.

having crappy clunky controls takes me out of the immersion of the game when i have to chug around looking around at the speed of molasses. oh someone is shooting me in the back! ok ill turn around and see who it is in 2-3 seconds.

It seems the PC gamers here are even bigger and more arrogant fanboys than the console fanboys. Looking at fermcr and chamers comments pc gamers seem to develop a god complex and appear to be graphic whores. But im going to ignore that and try not to judge the rest of the pc gamers here because maybe there are only a few people like charmers who just get a hard on building rigs so they can spout off some non-existent elite status they possess. Anyway good news about the crytek engine, hopefully we will see amazing games on the consoles from them too soon.

My friend is a PC gamer first and foremost, he owns quite a good rig, he also owns a PS3 and has never once been elitist about it, because he plays games and doesn't care where he's playing them.

Charmers6296d ago

Isn't it funny that PS3 fanboys seem to have a contradictory personality. Many times on this site I have seen PS3 fanboys go "oh the game is coming out on the 360 and PC, I will get the SUPERIOR PC version". Yet the minute a PC gamer naturally suggests that the PC is superior to the PS3 then we are elitist lol.

I normally stay away from these topics, I don't particularly seek to convert anyone to PC gaming (why would I care really). I most certainly would not try to convert a console gamer to PC gaming it's such a shame console gamers don't take the same attitude. It seems to me that console gamers are the Elitist ones they are the ones usually going "Consoles are the only way to play games".

I personally say game how you want to game, if you want to game on a 360, PS3 or a PC then get on and do it. I was merely responding to zoneofenders when he asked "wonder what PC elitists will say about this". However naturally the PS3 fanboys couldn't leave it alone could they despite the fact this is a news story where PS3/360 fanboys are chomping at the bit to play a PC game. Yet somehow they tried to turn it into a "PC gamers are chomping at the bit to play KZ2" (I can assure you we aren't we have better taste).

Seems to me someone should take their own advice. You kind of proved crimsonite's point about the arrogance. How do you know what all pc owners are looking forward to? Do you speak for the millions of pc gamers? Are you the official pc gamers spokesman?

I have a top pc rig and a Ps3 and I must say I prefer the ps3 cause I like to lounge around when playing games and not sitting all rigid as it gets a little uncomfortable. Also the Ps3 exclusives are the ones that interest me.

It's funny how you claim to be trying to educated yourself about consoles but all you do is bash. let me ask you an honest question, how many games on Pc completely blows KZ2 away in terms of overall package, not just textures? I only ask because you seem to believe that every PC game is better than it.

Good for you that you like competetive gaming but to be honest I couldn't give a rat's ass about it so to each his own. Just because someone don't play competetively they are scrubs now right? I guess you are too good to play with the majority of gamers.

I play games to have fun, not get all competitive and shiat, cause that is what games are for, fun! If I want to compete, I'll join some paintball tournament or something that requires "real" skills and conditioning, not just thumb conditioning.

I also find it offensive that you think just because people have a console that they don't have a high end pc. Newsflash for you it is possible to have pcs and consoles at the same time.

Get your head out your ass and start enjoying games the way they are mean to be enjoyed.
