Cryengine 3 demo

[=sw=warlord]

I would preffer realistic detail to astheticly pleasing any day of the week.
Gears of War was a good game and all but i preffer crysis with its lighting system and style.
The day i see a completely real life looking game with plasma weapons would be the day i die happy, i think Crytek might have seen the Doom film and thought "maybe we can do that...may be can make games look that good.

CE2 still had much more complex face rendering features than UE3; the point is that as of the CE3/UE3 comparison (which this is about as far as I know) it wouldn't be a fair comparison, unless CE3's cut back on some detail.

It demonstrates the lack of research and complete bias of the author.

For one, the screen was a pre-render for CE2; even in the game the faces look nowhere near as detailed.

For two, they took a UE2 screenshot from the medium-quality version of GOW released on the xbox.

But GoW was made on the Unreal Engine 3.

But GoW was made on the Unreal Engine 3.

The first one? I'll look this up.

E: Yep, made in UE3. I still believe it's a bit biased, or at least poorly written-- half of the screenshots aren't even CE3, and the comparisons are uneven.

Yeah, those faces posted here are CE1, not 3. I've been seeing those faces since before DX10 was released to the public. They were showing off what DX10 can do.

What about mods? I don't know about UE3 but I've seen some pretty neat things made for CE2.

[Roostervier]

Well, UE3 has tons of mods, probably more than crysis does. And UT3 didn't lose any of it's user base due to dropped support and in the case of wars and warhead, a promised SDK that took waaay too long to be released.

What settings do you have to play at to make their faces look that nice?
I've put object and texture to very high, played at like 5 fps, and pycho in warhead still looked crappy...though his suit was uber detailed.

Up your Shader quality. Also, nice bump.

Even if it did drop some quality to come to consoles, it's going to be the best console graphics ever. Since my pc is crap for high end gaming, I say YAY! Make it for consoles!

And as for unreal vs cryengine, which has more procedural technology? That's the one I like.
