Next-gen CryEngine tech demo and interview
Posted on Monday, 19 September 2005 by Ryuken, source: EvilAvatar
Of course, there are some questions to be answered about this second incarnation of the CryEngine (which was first utilised in Far Cry). Communitysite CryMod gathered a lot of info by translating an interesting hardware interview from Gamestar.de. There, Cevat Yerli of Crytek discusses the porting of the engine to next-gen consoles Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 (once again no word about the Revolution). CryEngine 2 is rumoured to run only on DirectX 10 and thus it wouldn't be ready/useable until Windows Vista is around.
/GameStar/dev: So where's the technical journey leading?
Cevat Yerli: In general it's leading to multi-threading, so multi-core and multi-cpu, a streaming architecture, cross platform, and for each pixel there will be at least one shader.
/GameStar/dev: ... the graphics interfaces are requiring an extra effort?
Cevat Yerli: Yeah, because of OpenGL ES for the PS3 we have to recode our whole rendering. If you look at it closely, CryEngine 2 will have 2 solutions for each system in total. If a developer abstracts that, the technology is optimized very specifically. Otherwise you cannot utilize the whole power. Alternatively you can abstract it in a way that it is not running on all system, then the strongest platform is losing out the most ...

To sum it up; they got a lot more work now they have to prepare this engine for next-gen consoles too. It's a pity that everyone has to jump on the console wagon too, one can wonder what they could have done with that time if they were concentrating on PC only.
