CryEngine Three Years Ahead of Unreal Engine 4, Says Crytek

Source engine is better than both

Hopefully with Crysis 3 the DX11 will be optimized well like BF3. Crysis 2 DX11 runs like ass in comparison.Grawse

Might be less an engine issue and more that crytek is just a buch of dipsh!ts when it comes to how they use it.

Ah, yes, more empty hype and PR bullsh!t from Crytek.

It's hilarious when you consider the fact that this is a company that basically scrubbed out of big-budget game development.

Tell me, how'a that plan to go free-to-play working out for you? :lol:

He kinda speaks the truth even though he comes off as a Dbag. Cryengine has been doing everything in real time while UE4 has just started doing stuff in realtime. Epic is kinda playing catchup now.

Star Wars 1313 uses Unreal Engine 3.0 and looks way better than anything Cryengine has come up with

uhhh wut? idtech4 became irrelelvent years ago. u cant compare the two. We aer talking about modern tech. Crytek made the effort to consistenty update their engine as much as possible where as idtech did not. idtech has become a pretty static engine as far as i can tell.

Pretty sure thems are baked shadow maps, not real time. Doom3 used no tricks, all the light/shadow was real time.

oh lol. its all good. :P

[QUOTE="zeeshanhaider"]It's sickening the amount of hate it's getting from my fellow hermits just because they made one crap game(crysis 2) out of 3 games they made in total, and the rest of the two are fantastic games. Crysis 3 is still in development let's give them a chance, it could be that they learnt their lesson after crysis 2. I just can't understand the hate for crytek from my fellow hermits. Crytek switch to multiplatform development from PC Exclusive devlopment while Epic completely ditched the PC platform and I can't understand the hermit's love for Epic games. And yes Cryengine 3 was doing all those things 3 years before and is much easier to use, speaking from my experience of the SDK.Vandalvideo

I agree about the marketing part but that doesn't mean that CryEngine3 is somehow inferior to UE4. What we see of UE4 as of now is only a tech demo and nothing else, and about using the engine to its full potential tell me any game on UE3 that looks better than Crysis 2 DX 11. We have seen the best of UE3 and it still doesn't come anywhere near of what CE3 is capabale of.

seanmcloughlin

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

Hey crytek,your pos engine hasn't produced a game with graphics half as good as those in mirror's edge.

So stop spouting BS.

After being extremely dissapointed with the all the tech videos and demo's of UE4 I can belive this...

[QUOTE="ferret-gamer"][QUOTE="Inconsistancy"] Was just being pedantic :P, since you said UE4 just started to do stuff real time, and idTech4 was the first relatively modern engine to do all real time crap... Kinda funny that id went back to the baking everything as the focus in tech5.Inconsistancy

Mirrors edge had pre-baked and pre-caclulated global illumination, indirect lighting and other things backed into textures and you think that's fair?

Cryengine 2/3 does all that in REAL TIME....

[QUOTE="call_of_duty_10"][QUOTE="zeeshanhaider"] Yeah everything rendered in realtime vs everything pre-baked. What a fair comparison.mrfrosty151986

[QUOTE="call_of_duty_10"] Does it really matter what method was used to achieve the graphics? As someone on SW used to say..."Technology is only a tool.The end product,the result,is what really matters." Mirrors edge does not use very advanced techniques but it looks better than crapsis 2. call_of_duty_10

You don't have a decnt PC do you...

On the other hand you still haven't list a single UE game that is on par with Crysis 2 technically. UE will always play catch-up to the CE. Deal with it.

[QUOTE="parkurtommo"][QUOTE="JangoWuzHere"]

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.

Nohtnym

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".

Crysis 1 did look better than Crysis 2 pre HighRes/DX11 patch. Currently with mods, I'd say it's debatable.

[QUOTE="call_of_duty_10"] *sigh* I fail to see how this is related to the discussion. My PC can run games released in 2012 on high/max settings.So no,that's not true.

Gta 4 with icenhancer beats crysis 2.How exactly is all that crap in cryengine 3 useful when ENB destroys it?parkurtommo

[QUOTE="zeeshanhaider"][QUOTE="parkurtommo"] "Technically", nothing. But as far as aesthetics go, there are a lot of games that look a lot more appealing, like Mirror's Edge.call_of_duty_10

[QUOTE="call_of_duty_10"][QUOTE="zeeshanhaider"] Then we are on same page. CE3 can produce all the games UE can and better and with much ease. Moral of the story, CE > UE.parkurtommo

All the Developers are going to abuse the crap out of Unreal Engine 4 though.
