GDC 09: Crytek Talks CryENGINE 3
President and CEO Cevat Yerli on the new engine, the next generation of games, and OnLive.

Yerli addressed doubts expressed by the hardcore PC crowd. "There are some concerns from PC gamers that 'you've sold your soul to the consoles.' That is completely nonsense, because the PC version of CE 3 is still scalable and has more features, thanks to consoles actually…Let's say you want to do a PC-only game with CE 3 over CE 2, CE 3 will enable you to do more. There are features like our real-time lighting system and real-time global animation system that are not in CE2. These are features that are significant in adding visual fidelity that were not available with CE2."
The current schedule is to make the CE 3 fully available by the third quarter of this year. "We just started licensing it out. After GDC we will start selecting a few developers and then as the months pass and as the engine itself becomes fully available by September, October this year…once CE 3 is finished we'll be able to up our licensing program significantly. But I think initially we'll have up to 10 licenses and then increase significantly."
Lest euch bitte den ganzen Artikel durch, der ist durchweg interessant - ich habe nur das hier schon mal als Argument gegen Meckern zitiert.
