Im sure everyone that plays games on a PC (specificly fps games) will have heard of crysis.... Well they just released a video showing off all the cool things the new engine can do and it really is amazing!
Video link: IGN: Crysis Trailer, Videos and Movies
Definatly looks impressive :D
Makes the UT3 engine looks kinda lame in comparison o__0
Saw it on gamespot a few days ago, that next gen physics engine looks amazing, can't wait to get my hands on crysis, need dual core to run it smoothly though >.<
Crysis is visual ecstasy. Nothing can touch it's graphics. The CryEngine 2 is just amazing.
Though you can't forget about the Euphoria Engine by LucasArts Industrial Lights & Magic (will be used in SW The Force Unleashed and GTA IV). Now that engine really brings physics to the next level. The CryEngine 2 has amazing physics but the Euphoria just owns it. Though the visuals are far superior with the CryEngine 2 at the moment.
NoPeace - out
Ooooo got any more info on that euphoria engine? sounds interesting... + i have a total lack of ability to google things o_0
Vids are amazing. Can't wait to play Crysis.
ahhh man i wish i had a few grand laying around for when games come out with this engine
just watched the trailer and im in awe, thats amazing
WTF :ohmy:. Oh, boy that sucked.
Look at the thread I made here about Star Wars The Force Unleashed. Had some movies on the Euphoria engine. Pretty amazing stuff. Word actually splinters and breaks like wood. Jelly acts like jelly. Ice slides and shatters like ice would. Rock breaks like rock does. And the AI is aware of the environment and will try to grab on to stuff as they fall and stuff like that.Quote:

Will take a look at that link for the new ILM stuff. Sounds sweet!
wish they would hurry up and release rather then showing all these trailer for over a year now...
That does look really nice, but I hate when games hype forever and don't deliver the goods. (E.g. Awesome graphics, terrible storyline / game play)
Would you rather have a crappy performing game with a crap story now or wait another 6 months and have a master piece?Quote:

most fps games dont have a good story line, i like story lines too. but when the game was still on show case, u can tell they were way more into graphics & gameplay then story line(and they're still working on the gfx -.- i think it's good enough, should stop and do other stuff like marketing so they can release faster >_>). i bet they're will be only around 26 long stages and it might suck since ppl will just play the game for the gfxs (like those younger gamers who mostly only look for gfxs in games) and MP XD.
Most FPS don't have good story lines?
What about Halo? Halo2? Half-Life? Half-Life 2? Half-Life 2 Ep 2? FEAR? Rain Bow 6 Vegas? Golden-Eye? etc...
There are tons of FPS games with good story lines. Sure some games like Doom3 has been just about graphics but a lot aren't. =P
NoPeace - out
thats coz those games work their ass off making their game good rather then spending a whole year doing just graphics...
Valve spent a year doing the Source engine and Epic Games spent a year doing the Unreal 3 engine. =PQuote:

no i think i know what they're trying to do...get more team members and fundings by making a kick ass game with good gfx lol(and make lots of teaser trailers with it). but so far it's taking them like nearly 2 years now...(and mayb they failed making Cryteck 1 and shit lol)
In all honesty... After seeing all the previews of the game etc, i can honestly say this one really isnt all about the graphics. Not only that... but if they were spending all there time doing the graphics side of things then where did all those amazing physics come from? They have put allot of time into the graphics engine obviously (as thats one of there selling points to other developers.... It's like a product within a product) but after looking through all the preview art n stuff. They really have thought this one through with a good story line.
Yeah the first one was absolutly crap when it came down to story line and having a game that was worth playing.... Infact the storyline actually ruined the game to be honest! as soon as they introduced the mutant things i just couldent be bothered to play anymore. They have already stated that they have learned from there mistakes and have hired some seriously good story writers etc (much the same as half-life 2 did... and thats the best story told FPS shooter released!).
That having been said, if the game comes out and its got a dire storyline and bores the hell out of people then ill eat my own hat / arm. Games like these do depend largely on story where as other games such as 'unreal tourny 3' do exactly what they say on the tin.
Either way the engine they have made in stunning and so long as the story keeps up it should be one HELL of a game!
errrr we were talking about story lines...but i guess it will be a simple FPS story line for this game...and then the only fun thing would be Mutiplayer lol.
and yeah i loved the physics when i saw the first trailer long time ago ^^
