CryEngine must marry with Frostbite. Crybite! And my journey towards absolute nolifewhatsoever will be complete.

Man, you can hate the crysis games all you want, gameplay wise, but CryEngine 3 is looking great. And febuary 2013 sounds good, I'll have mostly upgraded my PC by then, probably get a new video card at that time so I can max out this game for once.

The CryEngine is absolutely one of the best engines I've had the pleasure of experiencing. It's miles better than FrostBite. I'm seriously looking forward to C3MP!

I don't know that it's miles better. Both engines have different goals behind their creation. Graphically they aren't all that far apart, as well.

Is it just me who was not totally impressed by that trailer/tech demo? It just felt like Crysis 1 with new stuff strapped on. Maybe what we see in that video represents a compromise the devs had to make to enable it to run off various platforms and not being PC exclusive.

Anyway, I have pre-ordered it on Origin store for INR1299 ($24) how cool is that? (EA have stopped taking any further pre orders on Origin's Indian store now)

I wouldn't say miles ahead either. I certainly am more imerssed in BF3 than any other game due to the physics and destruction. I have also been wowed by it's gfx much more than I was by Crysis 2 or Warhead.

I was getting flashbacks to the old Predator movies with this trailer. I'm guessing you can play as either hunters or cell or is it sorta like hord mode and you just keep taking on cell soldiers?

Yeah, it definitely had a Predator vibe. It's 2 players (hunters) vs. 14 players (soldiers) so your guess is correct. What I didn't know is that each time a soldier dies, he respawns as a hunter. That explains why you see more than 2 hunters near the end of the trailer.

Oh, that's an interesting spin on it. We'll see how it goes in practice.

There's more: The soldiers have to survive for 2 minutes. And they can use objects, like a car door, as a shield from bullets and arrows. They also have EMP grenades that will interfere with the hunter's nanosuit.

Also, here's some gameplay footage:

I've been playing Crysis 3 MP Alpha, and it's a blast! I can't wait to play single player.

"Dirty screen" overlays and excessive sun glare seems to have been lifted from Frostbite, though. Or it's becoming a trend now, like water splat pixel shaders.

I noticed Black Ops 2 now has grime on the lens and a few more lens flares .
