Woooooooooow. I just realized other games are already using this engine, but that Crysis 3 looks epic.

The US Army has invested $50 some odd million into Cry Engine 3 real war-time simulation training. So noobs can go out can get owned / learn from mistakes w/ unlimited respawns, til they reach Thresh level and can take care of buisness IRL.

wow...that's some intense stuff. At this rate, before long, games will be playing you.

if they remake quake, they need to remake it on this engine!

Like this engine will help with a corridor shooter with pitch black shadows.

So many people have no idea.

some people are always so blah.

I would play Quake running under CryEngine3, but I doubt it would happen.
The next Quake will be either ID Tech 5 or ID Tech 6, the latter of which doesn't exist (yet).

Why does Quake have to be a corridor shooter with pitch black shadows? Alternately, Cry3 can do everything except make a corridor shooter with pitch black shadows?

I understand what you are saying, but I would think that you of all people could see the potential an engine like this has for a remake of any game.

But it wouldn't happen. Id won't buy a license to develop on Cry Engine 3, when they can inhouse with Id Tech 5 or the upcoming 6 for free.

The characters in idtech 5 look good the environment looks like hmm off.
Maybe iD should hire more peoPle? Mega texture for all it's 'unique-ness' just doest translate to the end user

Pretty sick indeed, but will we need an octacore and quad sli to play it.

Not true, same

Crysis 2= CryEngine3
Crysis 3 = CryEngine3

Crysis 3 system requirements for PC hardware will be similar if not the same as Crysis 2, because both games are powered by the CryEngine 3 game engine. Crysis 3 system requirements will still be quite demanding though, as this has been the case with Crysis games since the very beginning. Here are the full PC specs require of the game:
Crysis 3 system requirements (minimum)
CPU: 2.8 GHz dual core processor, Intel Core 2 Duo or AMD Phenom X2 or better
RAM: 2GB
Graphics: DirectX 10 graphics card with 1 GB RAM, Nvidia 400-series or AMD Radeon 5000-series.
Operating system: Windows Vista
DirectX 9c sound card
16 GB free hard drive space
Crysis 3 system requirements (recommended)
CPU: 2.4 GHz quad core processor, Intel Core i5 or better
RAM: 2GB (4 GB for 64-bit operating systems)
Graphics: DirectX 11 compatible video card with 1GB RAM, Nvidia GTX 500-series or AMD 6000-series or better.
Operating system: Windows 7, Win 7 64-bit is preferred
DirectX 9c sound card, dedicated audio card is preferred
16 GB free hard drive space

I'm sorry, I was frustrated and tired when I posted that. Let me explain better: not every engine excels at running every kind of game.

Cryengine has traditionally been aimed at creating realistic outdoor landscapes / nature, down to the simulation of atmospheric particle scattering and physics effects. So when you want to create a temple ruin in a beautiful forest with a river and lots of vegetation and animals, Cryengine is the ticket.

Quake is traditionally a fantasy/medieval-themed indoor shooter. It just makes sense to pick an engine that already is behind similar games when you do a remake. So for Quake, I'd pick an engine that is proven to excel at such a game.
