3 to push consoles, with PC leading the way"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>With the Crysis series continuing to be the benchmark for graphical prowess, it&#8217;s no\u00a0surprise\u00a0that Crytek intends Crysis 3 to set the bar to beat &#8211; the company recently took to twitter to punt their upcoming shooter&#8217;s technical strength.<\/p>\n<p>According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/#!\/RealtimeCevat\/status\/192680779162202113\">Twitter account<\/a> of <a title=\"Cevat Yerli\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/forum\/showthread.php\/24249-Cevat-Yerli\">Cevat Yerli<\/a>, CEO and president of <a title=\"Crytek\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/forum\/showthread.php\/11881-Crytek\">Crytek<\/a>, Crysis 3 will: &#8220;push the <a title=\"Xbox 360\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/forum\/showthread.php\/19882-Xbox-360\">360<\/a>, <a title=\"Playstation 3 (PS3)\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/forum\/showthread.php\/19888-Playstation-3-(PS3)\">PS3<\/a> to its limits, ahead of Crysis 2, but Crysis 3 PC will be clearly ahead&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The CryEngine is known for pushing the envelope in terms of what graphical processors can do, and with CryEngine 3 constantly evolving, it&#8217;s expected that it&#8217;ll deliver visuals and technical aspects that are unprecedented in the <a title=\"FPS - First Person Shooter\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/forum\/showthread.php\/23882-FPS-First-Person-Shooter\">FPS<\/a> genre.<\/p>\n<p>The tweet is also good news for PC gamers, who threw their toys when Crytek released Crysis 2 without initial <a title=\"Direct X\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/forum\/showthread.php\/24250-Direct-X\">Direct X<\/a> 11 support (which was later patched, and looked gorgeous); but it doesn&#8217;t detract from the fact that PC gamers were delivered a watered-down version of the graphical powerhouse they were expecting.<\/p>\n<p>Check out the video below on what the CryEngine 3 is capable of:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/YFsWNbpQ9j0?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\"
