CryEngine 3 Matches Quality Of Unreal Engine 4

CryEngine 3 Matches Quality Of Unreal Engine 4

None

Crysis developer Crytek has said their CryEngine 3 matches the quality of Epic Games’ next-generation engine, Unreal Engine 4.

In speaking with VentureBeat, founder Cevat Yerli stressed that the studio’s engine has been “next-gen ready since three years ago”, as well as the fact that it can match Epic’s impressive new engine.

“The only thing I can say is that CryEngine 3 already exists at the quality of Unreal Engine 4,” stated Yerli. “It already exists for three years now. You can go back three years ago to the GDC videos. What we put out there is pretty much what Unreal Engine 4 put out now. And what many others are doing now too. We haven’t really put out our latest stuff yet.”



Yerli added: “We already said, CryEngine 3 is next-gen ready since three years ago. We stand by that. If I look at what people call next-gen technology now, it’s what we were seeing three years ago. We already had massive particle systems, we already had GPU rendering, all these things. Deferred shading. We had tessellation already since we shipped Crysis 2. We already had DX11. We didn’t just talk it up as tech demos, we have games that are shipped and are doing it.”

Crysis 3, Crytek’s next title, is currently due for a spring 2013 launch. The studio is also working on THQ’s Homefront sequel.
