CryEngine Three Years Ahead of Unreal Engine 4, Says CrytekWritten Thursday, June 14, 2012 By Lee BradleyView author's profile

Crytek boss Cevat Yerli reckons that Epic?s Unreal Engine 4 is doing things CryEngine was doing three three years ago.

Epic publicly showcased the latest iteration of its tech at E3 last week. Many - including us - were impressed, but Yerli wasn't.

"The only thing I can say is that CryEngine 3 already exists at the quality of Unreal Engine 4," he said. "It already exists for three years now.

?You can go back three years ago to the GDC videos. What we put out there is pretty much what Unreal Engine 4 put out now. And what many others are doing now too."

The Crytek boss believes that CryEngine has a lot more to offer too.

"We haven't really put out our latest stuff yet," he said. "Pretty soon you're going to see the next iteration of CryEngine, and I'm not putting a number behind it, just the next iteration of CryEngine. Very soon.

?But we already said, CryEngine 3 is next-gen ready since three years ago. We stand by that. If I look at what people call next-gen technology now, it's what we were seeing three years ago.

Yerli continued, "We already had massive particle systems, we already had GPU rendering, all these things. Deferred shading. We had tessellation already since we shipped Crysis 2. We already had DX11.

?We didn't just talk it up as tech demos, we have games that are shipped and are doing it.?

Crytek better to show something half as impressive as Unreal Engine 4 demo, fast. No game available today, not even on PC, comes close.

ooooh an engine battle exciting

Crytek are hardly in the market for making impressive graphical benchmarks. Crysis 2 was not impressive in the least, and Crysis 3 is looking to be the same as well.

I haven't seen game as good as the UE4 engine demo.

Crysis 2 DX11 is impressive. One of the best looking games, if not best.

It's hermits. They didnt like that crysis series became multiplatform, so they downplay crysis 2 and 3. I dont know about you but I remember these threads "Crysis 1 looks better than crysis 2 because of consoles".

LOL he said cryengine 3 cough crysis 2 shipped with dx11 that's a bunch of bs.

But yea cryengine 3 still does own the unreal engine 4.

PRTek.

[QUOTE="parkurtommo"][QUOTE="soapandbubbles"] Agreed. I could never understand the praise the unreal engine has been given..SURE, it's much more simplistic and easy to use...but IMO, Cryengine was always superior in everyway from a visual standpoint. Both Crysis look insane and the closest in terms of photorealism, unlike the unreal engine. soapandbubbles

] crysis 2 running on lowest settings possible on everything for pc still looks better than crysis on ps3/360 lol.

Completely backwards, UE4's demo wasn't flash, it was substance. Luminous was the flashy one.

UE4's was just showing what it could do how it handled certain things and showing off its workflow, Samaritan(3.971) looked, due to art, much better and was much flashier than the UE4 demo.

Neither UE/CE, unlike SE, were going for flash.

who cares if your games suck. There are far more great games on the Unreal engine than Cryengine. Crytek still make sh!t games these days

I would say yeah. They have this almighty engine yet the games on it are less than desireable. Crysis 2 was meh and so will Crysis 3

The top comment in one of the links was spot on

"Pointless willy waving. Just shut up and make Timesplitters 4 already."

You need your own line, broski! Evan's wasn't that great when it first made the rounds, hence why it didn't stick :lol:

I wouldn't find that hard to believe after playing Crysis 2 with DX 11 and the hi res texture pack.

From what i saw, id have t agree with them. While UE4 may be more dev-friendly, CE3/4 seems to have more technical capabilities, better effects, better water, better AI, animations, etc. (judging by the presentations anyway)navyguy21

The difference is how the tools work for creating a game. Unreal Engine is much easier to make games for, and chances are the effects in UE4 are more optimized than those from CryEngine.
