For fans of Crytek and their now famous CryENGINE 2, you will all be pleasantly happy to know that Crytek plans on showing off their CryENGINE 2 at this year’s Game Developer’s Conference. The thing that makes this so special is that they’ll be showing it off on multiple platforms, one of which being the PlayStation 3 console.
This demonstration is going to be viewed by a select audience however there will be public presentations at their home booth as well. The presentations at Booth #6611 will show how the engine can be fully optimized on a cost-efficient PC that is built for roughly $600, including the mouse and keyboard. They want to demonstrate to visitors that the extremely high quality content that CryENGINE 2 provides can be obtained by the average PC owner, debunking the belief that you need a top-end PC to utilize it effectively.
Along with that demonstration, you’ll also be able to see the Sandbox 2 game editor in action creating rapid levels for use, adding incredible sound quality, working with the CryENGINE 2 to deliver solid animation quality, and it will all be lead by many of the leading developers and designers for the Crytek engine itself.
This will definitely be a hot ticket event and the demonstrations will occur twice a day. The seating is said to be on a first come, first serve basis, so make sure you show up early.

sorry but no crisis for consoles. crytek said they aren't powerful enough. read about it on ps3.ign.com that's stupid! everyone knows the ps3 is powerful enough. crytek is just lazy

That was my problem with CryEngine2. So many other game engines produced really high quality graphics (Unreal Engine 3) without needing a high end pc to properly play games using the engine. Yet CryEngine2 seemed to suck up more resources then it should be. Its great to see that Crytek have put effort into optimising the engine so that it can run on cheaper pc, like every other engine I know.

I just bought a new PC for £507 (just over $1000) and it won't run Crysis, so I'd like to see them show that.
Still, if they do, then anything that runs on a £300/$600 PC should run easily on a PS3.

wow, how ironic that this article doesnt include the fact that this engine is being made for the 360 as well. look at gamespot.com and look at the right side of the page and read the real article. idiots...

I could care less about the CryENGINE2 but the Sandbox game editor sounds interesting.

I have an xbox 360 which i enjoy the fps, i also have a wii which is fun, and a ps3 which to be honest will blow the socks off the other two consoles you can see the difference in the games i'm not saying the early ports but games like uncharted and R+C , lair for graphics, my 360 is also hdmi with games like mass effect which looks amazing but compaired to the gems i just mentioned for there graphics mass effect doesn't come close, so (crytek), crysis if it is coming to the 360 i wouldn't worry because the ps3 version honestly would be better than the pc and xbox 360 version without doubt.
