Crytek, the creator of the Crysis series, has confirmed that its CryEngine 3 graphics engine will support Sony's PlayStation 4 console.

CryEngine 3 on the PS4 = more pretty-looking shooters oncoming for the system.

According to a post on Crytek's official site, the engine is already used by PlayStation 4 developers. The studio said that it will "empower [engine licensees] to achieve their own ambitions on the console."

Crytek's director of global business development Carl Jones said that "by supporting developers as they build for the future on PlayStation 4, we are cementing our position at the forefront of the industry and helping others to create the best games they can in this exciting period of transition."

Last month, Crytek announced that CryEngine 3 would support Microsoft's Xbox One.

Cry Engine 3 is over rated ( still don't think it can be compared to UE 4 though)

I like those little moments while playing PC or Console when you think "Wow that looks amazing" but they're little moments you soon forget. Gameplay and storyline is what you remember from a game. I am all for better graphic but make sure you get the fundamentals right.

@EL_Bomberdor Cool environments stay with you too. I remember the first time I played tomb raider on the PS1. Or Mario 64.

@EL_Bomberdor sadly many games today rely too much on graphic, i hardly find a good game that take me many hours tirelessly playing. wanna come back to the time when i was so excited enjoy a game, that many years ago.

I like what Crytek does. It's good to have a few game to really focus on showing us what our systems are capable of (pc), and the gameplay is still decent enough. If people don't like the story/gameplay, well then there are plenty of other fps games out there.

I agree with this statement. Because in a game like Heavy Rain or LA Noire graphics were a large part of it. For other games it really comes down to the gameplay and I could care less how pretty it looks. Luckly BF4 looks to be running on all cylinders in terms of graphics, gameplay, and story.

@Navardo95 @EL_Bomberdor Putting a % on it is not right. Each element should compliment each other

@Valkyrslayer Why would you want less graphics? One is not a tradeoff for the other, look at Witcher 3...

@TohouAsura @Valkyrslayer Tbh....they are saying it will achieve CG-quality but the screens that were released looks quite current-gen...in fact it doesn't even look as good as Witcher 2 on High...but that won't stop me from buying the game as gameplay>> graphics.

doesn't a console support the engine, rather than the engine supporting the console?

seems a weird way to phrase it....

@shingui5 It's always that way, a software supports a operating system/hardware.

For example some games support PC Windows and MacOSX, or just Windows Vista, 7 & 8. Or just Playstation 3. Got it? Good.
