Looks so good. I'm more impressed with the smaller details, especially the pixel accurate displacement mapping.

For the win. The 670 ftw uses the 680 pcb/cooling so you'll have great temps (and the one I have has overclocked amazingly

Now use this engine to create a fun game instead of a boring interactive benchmark.

From my reading in the past, ease of use, customisation and performance are the biggest strengths of Unreal Engine.
Sorry you feel that way. Crysis games are actually a lot of fun.

From what I've heard, Epic's documentation and support is superior to Crytek's, or at least was until quite recently. As an engine UE3 is fairly easy to develop for and stable on all current generation platforms. Plus a lot of people have experience with it.
Not sure what the licensing costs are. But it's hard to ask devs to pass on UE3, even of CE3 is superior in technology, if UE3 is the easiest, most supported engine to develop for.

CE2 was PC only and CE3 just shipped its first game a year ago, it's also very late in the generation so most people won't switch at this point. Everything starts fresh next gen though.

Tessellation™. When you are far away then it has only few polygons.

The background looks to fuzzy. To much TXXA...

The tessellation is adaptive. LoD, but less obvious, and much prettier.

Somethings tells me LOD plays a big role

I haven't played the Crysis games... but are those leaves actually polygons? Most games seem to just apply leaf textures with transparencies on a two triangle plane. It might be different when it's closer to the viewer.

Bigger leaves are fully modeled and can be interacted with [wind, contacts with the player and objects]. Smaller bushes are "sprite" based.
Tessellation is actual geometry. Though, I expect things like short grass, leaves on taller trees, etc. to be what you mentioned, and not tessellated.

Tessellated vegetation is part of CryEngine 3 now, and by the looks of it Crysis 3. I have no idea what that means for my GTX 570.

Strange use of resources, but you can't deny it gets results.
Crysis 3 will be playable on Gamescom [probably old E3 build].

To bad Crytek doesn't have a good sense of art direction to go along with that tech.
I hate their lighting choice and overall aesthetic for Crysis 2 and Crysis 3.
They should have gone further in this direction:
Source?

You know this is the first time in a damn while where new graphics impressed me enough to wow out loud. I can't wait for next gen!

The frog looks like in-tears.
Sure, nice toad.
Modders laughs
Yo, i'm game from 2007 and as i look a little worse i'm open world game.
It's funny that this days modders mainly paint the line for best GFX without $$$mln
Sure nice toad thought it won't be in game.

You can't be serious. CE3>>UE4 all day every day.

Yeah, I wouldn't really assume that till we see the games that come out.

Can wait to see Maldo's version of this Frog with 50-100MB textures. LOL

Awesome tech.
Wonder if this can be applied to chars. I guess not, otherwise the frog would be using it...

based on the tech demo!
But next gen UE4 will probably laugh at CE3 on how many games will support UE4 though.
Yeah, Crysis is "open world."

I see where you guys are coming from and you're right we should wait for the games to come out. It's just that the latest UE demo I saw while great did not blow me away like this. But that's me. Both engines are great I just think CE3 takes it to a higher level.

One that is in the business of selling tech.
Differences between UE4 and CE3 might not be visible at first hand just by looking at trailers.
I think that the Global Illumination in UE4 is much more complex (and expensive in terms of processing power required).
I recommend all of you guys read the in-depth article on Digital Foundry about UE4.

If someone has a similar link to share about the ins and outs of CE3, I'd be grateful

Seems like it. By the time UE4 catches up, CE4 will be out and blow everyone away again.
