MyCrysis
announces the release of the CryENGINE 3 for developers, and in conjunction with
the release, Crytek has also launched a new
MyCryENGINE Website. The announcement and the new website each offer a
streaming tech demo trailer showing off the new engine's features, and they
promise the release of a higher quality downloadable version of the tech demo
"soon." Here's a bit on the new engine's capabilities: "CryENGINE 3 also
introduces CryENGINE 3 Live Create™. It allows developers to work with a single
editor, but see and play the results in real-time on PC, PS3 and Xbox360, hooked
up to a single dev PC. The engine takes care of the conversion and optimization
of assets in real-time; enables instant, cross-platform changes to any part of
game creation and as a result materially increases the speed, quality and
significantly reduces the risk of multiplatform development."
