This means the games are going to cost more and take more time for development.

That this is an engine, not a game. That means that a lot of what is shone here is tec the engine can pull off. To you it might just look like the next crysis game, but to devs it shows exactly what the engine can do. A good engine will actually decrease production time, not increase it. Think, if all you have to to is tell an engine that a model is made if wood, and the model is treated as wood in the game(physics and all), that saves the coders a lot of headache. Which gives us better games faster.

The link to " gearing up for the PS4 with their CryEngine 3" is broken Mabie.....

Crysis is possible on the wii, it just wont look the same.

good engine does not guarantee a good game.



and good/awesome graphics are not an absolute requirement for a great game.

"look at heavenly sword the game was horrible also killzone 2 graphics look great but the game was real easy" - What, opinion is fact now?!... I guess they changed it.



"the computer is stupid even in hard" - Could've sworn it was AI not

"computer."

don't be a douche... AI is just a term they use to make it seem more advanced. it's still the same "if-then" conditions they have been using since EVERYONE just called it "the computer".

It's good that they've optimised it a bit, I think the reason that they're walking away from PC is nothing to do with ease of programming it's to do with piracy.

Are you kidding? This engine was developed for PC as well and I am sure it will always look better on PC than it will on either of the consoles. If anything, it will make it easier for games to port to PC or from PC to console making more people able to play the game.
