CryEngine 3 Is On Par With Unreal Engine 4, Says Crytek

Crytek believes that CryEngine 3 is a match for Epic’s Unreal Engine 4, despite being released a few years ago. Crytek boss, Cevat Yerli explained that CryEngine 3 is already next-gen ready.

“The only thing I can say is that CryEngine 3 already exists at the quality of Unreal Engine 4,” he noted.

“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.

“We already said, CryEngine 3 is next-gen ready since three years ago,” he said.

“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.”

Despite all that, it seems as if Epic gets all the attention. However, could that change with Crysis 3 on the way?
