[stijnimanbik]

[yaitsbilly]

How do you hook them up like this for the xbox 360 to the pc?

Thumbs up for the only good german pc game/ engine :D

[2884nick]

did the 360 reach its limist on space holding or what?

[2884nick]

ps3 dosent do what the xbox 360 does keeps flashing and the ps3 is more detailed and colorfull can anybody explain me y?

[MrSnaztastic]

Wow.

[Geoxile]

Developers dream indeed. Cross platform development from a streamlined development tool. Obviously SB3 isn't going to be as capable of in-depth stuff compared to scratch and port but the ease and flexibility of this thing? Genius. Even has sketchup porting. Now amateur 3D modelers can make a simply 3D model and port it in right away. Custom maps abound and a powerful platform for professionals.

[rcoelho14]

PC Kicks Ass :D

Im so waiting for this game... :D

[lennartjuhh]

PS3 looks so much nicer, but in crysis 2, do you need the game also for pc to update live on ps3 or xbox?

[MultiIPwnage]

holy fuck I thought that the console version, maps were made in console, but no you make em on PC!!! That is soo motherfucking sweet!

[emmerin]

what the fuck is wrong with PS3 fanboys? what are you defending you dumb children, and if your not children, thats even worse.

[tomtomwolfwolf]

oh just stfu,sure the 360 sucks,but look at the PC,no lagg at all,looks better AND you can do more things with the cryengine 3.

[lennartjuhh]

lol the xbox laggs, ps3 has NO lagg at all :D

[BigdogWitBigdog]

@lennartjuhh None of the versions have "lag". Unless you are online. Lag has to do with latency issues. Frame rate problems is what you are referring to.

[lennartjuhh]

@BigdogWitBigdog Yeah

[somehowsane]

@BigdogWitBigdog

that monitor has a 2ms - 5ms delay.

[xXChinesXx]

CanI get the engine?

[MouthofSaurons]

1:39 Look at the Xbox 360. It can't keep up perfectly.

[karcsikaka]

XDDD i thought Xbox got RROD at 3:17 lol

[liltp404]

look at all these ps3fuks 360 ftw bitch.

[TheAdminjr]

"...And we'll just wait for the Xbox to come back up" lol. As ever.

[AspireToDoItAll]

Maybe it's just me, but I think the PC looks significantly better as far as quality goes. I don't think consoles will ever get to the point of quality as the PC. Then again, I've not done much research on the subject, so that statement might seem ignorant to a more educated person on the topic.

[lagemegnorsk]

@AspireToDoItAll To a more educated person on this topic wich has already looked at both sides componetns and hardware, your statement is correct.

[AspireToDoItAll]

@lagemegnorsk Thought so! =) Thank you for confirming that!

[brokensoul619]

notice how when he's real time updating from ABOUT 1:30 TO 1:50 or whenever hes painting the rock. The frame rate for the 360 drops and while the ps3 is still running smoothly.

[Enkeixpress]

@brokensoul619 Yeah, I noticed that.. It's cool though because Crytek have already mentioned that the PS3 version is the best performing version. They said this in an article

[BigdogWitBigdog]

@Enkeixpress PC is the best performing version. Does the PS3 have up to 32GB's of RAM? Does PS3 have the latest video cards? Does PS3 have an 8 core CPU clocked up to 4GHZ? No, no, and nope. How the hell would it be the best performing version?

[pc4gamers]

aabaabahahahahahahahah 360 crashed LOL

[JeannotvanBerlo123]

Yeah this is a developers dream, but the CryEngine is only for big-shot developers with a lot of money.

[TheMrFunGuy]

This is what the developers dream of.

[killervalonz]

Xbox failed >_>

[Thet3]

@killervalonz how did the xbox fail??

[Thet3]

@killervalonz never mind lol xbox crased! lol!! got thing I have a PC!!

[sandrovilanova]

great engine, the most beautiful and blablabla, but there is no one single miserable game to play out Crysis, I would like to see a horror game using these forests and this type lighting Cryostasis

[freeweed]

haa 360 crashed

[basukua]

@sandrovilanova Hehe part from it had some frame rate issues lol has to load the whole scene again.. but yeh there basically identical

[sandrovilanova]

ok, but easier and repair the frame to add textures, notice that the xbox version of the effects of depth of field and lighting are much more like a PC just above, compare

[BoobaKuba09]

So what does this mean for the Xbox360? Its running Crytek technology very nicely and I've been reading that the console is running out of juice.

[flyweel]

This is an early version, and even the people who love the 360 know it is lacking in power, knowing crytek they will most likely figure this out later, I'm sure all versions will look great, in the end though it'll go PC, PS3, 360, simply because of hardware. Although I wouldn't be surprised if this outdo's all other 360 games in terms of graphics

[cb43569]

To everybody saying the Xbox 360 version is poor and having flicker issues, the flicker issues actually dissipate within thirty seconds or so. Clearly a technical issue with the developer tools, not the hardware.

Coming from an unbiased PC gamer here.

[darkfall2011]

From what I have seen it had flickering throughout the whole video.

[Aerial29]

i find it odd that crysis is like this despite the fact that crysis was developed on the PC.

[Thet3]

@Aerial29  no trees in the draw distance like crysis 1 on highest settings so they limited the engine i guess... usually even on medium settings you would see trees in the mountains from far off not but anymore!!!

[markythestud]

360 version looks poor.

[halo1crysis]

Dang the xbox 360 flickers alot.

[karcsikaka]

1st this is awesome

2nd i tought X360 had an RROD XD ROFL

and 3 rd PS 3 is better

[nintendowiids12]

Why XP and not Windows 7?

[erikouwehand]

xbox 360 has a hard time

[kaneforrester]

@erikouwehand the xbox was actually performing better when I was stood there :/

[theking199012]

but if they keep this up they can do this

[RossHildick3D]

wrong

[1amadeo]

haha MrMj357, console players spend more money on games then you spend on ur plastic hardware ;)

[JurgenDaGunther]

4:06

... half a second ps3 ... *silence* ... and we'll just wait for the xbox to come back up

rofl XDD that's fatal

[master9716]

The developer said that the Ps3 version will look the same as the PC version in that other video.

[nintendowiids12]

Lies.

[theking199012]

yeah its has its on look

[Foellarbear]

oh course the PC version is gonna have better graphics. They use a PC to develop the entire game. PC's are at least 5 to 6 years ahead of console.

[taltigolt]

all those money yet intel don't have enough to record in hd

[Mati03x]

Nose para mi el de PC se ve mejor jaja. no che estoy contento de que en todas las consolas HD se lo pueda correr. Saludos !!!

[Reyloquendo005]

en mi opinion se ve mejor en la ps3 lo corre + nitido y con mejor color.

[thebeastPS3]

AJAJAJA que le den a los barbacuenses de los xboxers jaja mejor en ps3 que en 360, fijate en el arma en el 2:21

[berkut2006]

tas loco, una consola no le gan ala pc jamas ni en el futuro!

es tecnicamente imposible

[45tr05]

Looks similar to the 3ds max UI, very nice stuff!

[Smartkid10101]

I agree! (being a 3D animator in Max myself)

[TheAmefist]

Man the cryengine is so fricken badass.

[JustificationNation]

it'd be nice to own a dev kit with either console

[akelaristera]

get Cry Engine 3 out now

[Mohamedhp]

lol...I never knew its so easy to build video games :)

[tiagom135]

only in cryengine 2 and 3 the other engines are just to stupid to work

[colinfirst002]

building levels can be easy, building the thing that allows you to build levels is hard.

[xxmago]

That's why there are programmers and level designers. Programmers make the software, level designers just have all the fun.

BTW, It's generically called Level Editor.

[cryodynamite]

@colinfirst002

Engine........

[th3d3wd3r]

I love how the ps3 is running one display, the xbox360 is runnin gone, but the pc is running two display's and graphically owning both the consoles. i suppose that is the nail in the coffin as to which platform is better lol

[MrMj357]

everyone knows pcs are better not every one can afford a good one and keep upgrading it for the next generation thats the whole reason the made consoles

[miritkenny]

WOW

[JesperA86]

I am really impressed how Crytek have started there company, making all the awesome tools for creating the game, the cryengine and all other stuff, really impressive

[xboxnissan]

Where's the link with Intel?

[xboxnissan]

Crysis is for people like me that get 4 GHZ processor + HD4890 Graphic Card

[Younowkoed]

LOL

[xboxnissan]

Well, here is my rig:

Antec 1200 Case

EVGA X58 SLI Motherboard

Intel Core i7 CPU 2.66 GHZ OC @ 4 GHZ

Cooler Master V8 CPU Cooler

ATI HD4890 by sapphire (1 GB DDR5)

M-AUDIO Audiophile 192 Audio Card

Thermaltake Toughpower 750W (Modular PSU)

etc.

[bigdima3]

awesome, how did u manage to OC 920 to 4.0GHz, ,i dont like messing with cpu volts so i left it on auto and i get 3.7 GHZ with base clock 175 (i cant remember), , and tems get to 80c (I have a zalman cooler and C0 stepping cpu)

[xboxnissan]

Well I can't response you, there's a guy online helped me... All I can tell is that I get 78-79-80 oC at Full Load.

[bigdima3]

oO , , kk

[tehdaza]

wat

[Mibmu]

I meant Crysis 2

[tehdaza]

Yeah, I'm pissed at this too. But hey, Crytek needs to make money too.

[Mibmu]

It sucks that Crysis 3 is going to be released to consoles, like what were they thinking?

[bassfu]

"Lets make a profit"

[jarik258]

when crysis will be released on the console 80% your console will overheat

[1amadeo]

well, the Cell works stable with twice the temperature a high end pc cpu can take, so one thing that can overheat here is ur jealous mouth ;)
