Crytek has released a new video showcasing the capabilities of its latest engine - CryEngine 3 - which is what their upcoming shooter Crysis 3 is being developed on. The trailer shows the ability of the engine to render some stunning visuals, including gorgeous overgrown vegetation and extremely detailed objects and bodies (just check out that top-secret tessellated toad tech!). Featuring all in-game footage from Crysis 3, CryEngine 3 boasts a whole lot of features like volumetric cloud shadows, pixel accurate displacement mapping, tessellated vegetation, composite 3d lens flares & FX, procedural HDR flares and shapes, dynamic water volume caustics, volumetric fog shadows, and more. The quality of textures and amount of detail rendered in the previous Crysis games has been such that they have been used by most PC gamers as benchmarks. For some gameplay footage, head over here. Crytek has always impressed us with at least the graphic fidelity in their previous games, and Crysis 3 looks to be no exception. Here's hoping it doesn't make my antiquated system crawl.
