The Mega Title Game Engines of 2011, CryEngine 3 vs Frostbite 2.0 vs Unreal Engine 3

Crysis 2 recently awed many people with its depiction of a city in destruction due to the CryEngine 3. Battlefield 3 is said to be Crysis 2's main competitor with the FrostBite 2 engine with the new trailer for Battlefield 3 getting released, but let's not forget about Gears of War 3 bringing the Unreal Engine 3.

I personally think EU3. So far anyways.

MaxXAttaxX5147d ago (Edited 5147d ago )

That video they showed wasn't not representative of the current UE3. They have to show an actual game running on it, just like they did with CryEngine and Frostbite.

Besides, wasn't that a video of a demo of the next generation of the Unreal engine? It can't be compared like that.

ComboBreaker5147d ago

That's Unreal Engine 4, not 3.

Hanuman5146d ago

At the moment I like 'em all but U3 has the advantage. Epic just never fails to not impress. Still, I would like the U3 engine to have better support for open world games.

@Combo; No it's U3.

@Nathan
I agree, only released or soon-to-be-released games should be compared which would be crysis 2, battlefield 3, and gears 3. The reason I say this is because we wont see any game come remotely close to the ue3 tech demo anytime soon.

Bear_Grylls5147d ago

The UE3 will not look like the flashy tech demo when running on the 360, I promise that.

Frostbite 2 FTW!

kaveti66165147d ago

no shit. the frostbite 2 and cryengine 3 don't perform as well on 360 as you saw in those videos, either.

RyuStrife5147d ago

I'm giving it to CE3. Here's a CE3 Tech demo.

MagicGamer5147d ago

Actually let me correct myself. I think it is a toss up between Frostbite and EU3.

SicK_Scope5147d ago

i also belive its a toss up it one of theres to lose.

SMOK3xFFx5147d ago

The Samaritan demo blows them both out of the water. UE easily.

MagicGamer5147d ago

I lean towards it as well but the BF3 demo is strong too. If you read my first comment I went with the EU3, it's close and that's a good thing for us gamers.

SicK_Scope5147d ago

Frostbite suck compared to UE3

Bear_Grylls5147d ago

Fixed "Frostbite suck compared to UE3 on the PC not xbox"

Playing it right now looks amazing! :D
so much fun, i hope they make a vr mod for crysis 2 / 3 too!

DivineHand12597d ago

This is amazing. This is the direction VR should go in to boost adoption. Since I have beaten every Crysis except 1, this is now a good excuse to correct that problem.

Crytek Wanted Crysis To Be "Future-Proof"

According to Crytek CEO Cervat Yerli, "I want[ed] to make sure Crysis does not age, that [it] is future proofed, meaning that if I played it three years from now, it should look better than today." Yerli and the team designed Crysis' highest graphical settings for the PC hardware of 2010 and beyond.

While Crytek has officially announced Crysis 4 is in development, nothing new has surfaced. For now, gamers' only way to scratch that itch is to play the Crysis Remastered Trilogy available on PC and consoles.

OG 2007 Crysis (not the remastered weirdo), is & will forever be a legend amongst the PC community.

PrinceOfAnger102d ago

This video will always be impressive to me, even for years to come. Some things here are better than games we have today, OG crysis is the best version!

RaidenBlack102d ago

OG Crysis physics, man ... amazing! Thanks for the reminder!

PrinceOfAnger101d ago (Edited 101d ago )

Looks really nice with VR mod too

FinalFantasyFanatic101d ago

I'm still shocked that it looks as good as it does today, puts some modern games to shame.

Profchaos100d ago

I thought the remaster was fine tbh some rough edges at launch but after some patches it's decent

I mean the lighting and physics still hold up extremely well. I still revisit it from time to time.

RedDeadLB101d ago

That CPU performance thing is preventing it.

isarai100d ago

Yeah unfortunately Crystek's decision to bet on the linear progression of clock speed in CPUs was derailed by the unforseen shift towards multicore CPUs. It just wasn't built with that in mind because that wasn't even in the conversation at the moment

DivineHand125101d ago

I remember when I tried to play Crysis with my Intel Pentium Dual core E2200 @2.2GHz , 4GB ram and GeForce 9400gt. I was a kid back then and that was the best I could do. I would get about 15 to 20 fps. When I over clocked the CPU to 2.8GHz I would get about 40fps. The experience wasn't good at all and it was the only PC game I could not run back then unless and put the settings on low. At that point the game went from cutting edge graphics to PS2 graphics. To this day I haven't completed the OG Crysis. I was able to complete Crysis 2 and 3 after building a new PC when I got my first job.

HyperMoused101d ago

Never played it, worth a try you think?

Profchaos100d ago (Edited 100d ago )

Worth a try just because it's the only game that lets you pick up a turtle on the beach and throw it at enemy soldiers that should have been a back of the box feature.

But nah seriously unless you're nostalgic for it I'm not sure if it will hold up

Crytek went so overboard on the Crysis tech and sent devs to photograph leaves in Haiti

"The shader work that came out of this was mind-blowing at times."

RaidenBlack114d ago

Amazing, often misunderstood
The dumb AI was deliberate, so that the players can explore and experiment with the world and all the features.

vTuro24113d ago

It really is. Most people only remember it for its graphics but the gameplay was equally amazing.

RaidenBlack114d ago

Hope they try to pour nearly same amount of dedication to the new Crysis 4

DefenderOfDoom2114d ago

Well worth the extra work ! I enjoyed all 3 Crisis games and would also love a new one .

JunonZanon114d ago (Edited 114d ago )

Still wish game development was overall this passionate and minutious about their projects. Obviously, there are still some great studios as exceptions.

LikAChicken113d ago

I’ll never forget Far Cry 2 and the amount of details they packed in.

Yea there were some issues with the gameplay loop and the sickness aspect but you could tell they really tried to nail details.

DivineHand125113d ago

I haven't beaten the first Crysis but I did play Crysis 2 and Crysis 3. I know some PC players were annoyed by the last 2 games being developed with consoles in mind but I believe it was an improvement. I had a great time with Crysis 3 to the point where I believe it was too short.
