Crytek’s Crysis games on PC are without doubt some of the best looking around, and even today push the limits of what PC hardware is capable of, but the independent developer isn’t resting on its laurels. Last night it announced its latest “all-in-one game development sollution”, CryENGINE 3.
The new engine is described as “the first development platform for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, MMO, DX9/DX10 that also is truly Next-Gen-Ready – with scalable computation and graphics for all major upcoming platforms”.
Crytek added that it provides a complete game engine to create triple-A quality next generation games, and includes the CryENGINE 3 Sandbox level editor. The engine also offers significant new features specifically designed for console, online, MMO and next generation development.
“With CryENGINE 3 we are delivering our best game development technology that enables our clients to achieve their vision on current and future platforms to develop games such as MMOs, action games and more,” said Cevat Yerli, CEO & President of Crytek. “Our complete game engine solution enables realtime development, ensures teams are able to maximise their own creativity, saves budget and creates greater gaming experiences. Also with our solution developers can start working on their next generation games today.”
Carl Jones, Director of Business Development CryENGINE commented: “CryENGINE 3 is a revolutionary change from our previous PC-only engines – and we’re applying a similar revolution to the service we provide to developers using the software to create extraordinary games.”
He continued: “CryENGINE 3 will set the benchmark for complete game engine solutions in performance, and services to game engine licensees and their players. We’ve been preparing a long time for CryENGINE on consoles and we’re confident that Crytek will again amaze developers at GDC.”
Crytek will be showcasing the CryENGINE 3 at GDC later this month.
