Crytek -- probably best known for the FPS Crysis -- have been trying their best to up-sell their proprietary graphics engine, CryEngine 3.
But when your engine looks this good, it doesn't really need a whole lot of selling. It sort of just sells itself.
Anyways we have a new video for you to appraise the CryEngine 3 in action for yourself.
The engine is being positioned as a all-in-one package for game developers, pretty much. With CryEngine 3 you can make any game for any next-gen platform --if you can afford the licensing fees, of course. It looks like Crytek also spent a good amount of time developing their sandbox editing program: tweaking its ease of use, increasing the amount of things you can do with it. The release of CryEngine 3 to the public might lead to some incredible mods.
The texture quality of that funky, alien sculpture is particularly attractive; while the destructible urban (UT3-like) environments look promising as well.
Judging from the footage in the game, it appears possible that for the next game in the Crysis series (if they were to release one), Crytek might be moving things to an urban setting. The alien flying saucers look a little bit different than the style of technology used by the aliens in Crysis. Perhaps it's a new, more dangerous alien race. It is possible that they just made random stuff up to show off the new engine in action -- but for earlier CryEngines, Crytek showed off the engines using art assets from upcoming games.
