CryEngine2 goes Extreme
There is a truly amazing game on the horizon. Crytek's CryEngine 2, powering FPS-game Crysis, brings every blade of grass, every piece of foliage to life in a beautiful, truly immersive game environment. And every round of ammunition bristles with intent.
The increased performance in A.I - enabled by multi-core processors and a partnership between Crytek, Intel, Microsoft and Nvidia - has produced an amazing virtual environment with true player interaction.
Intel® Core™2 Quad and Intel® Core™2 Extreme processors have been used to assimilate the interactivity of the gaming world. To the degree that players see all the damage inflicted on the environment when they return to an area. Each bullet shot leaves a permanent mark.
With the CryEngine 2 "every individual tree has more technology built into it than the entirety of the first CryEngine", according to Cevat Yerli, President and CEO at Crytek. We’re talking Mensa-smart trees! It's a level of technology that is usually only used in cinema CGI productions but by making the most of multi-threading, Crytek has bought the big screen to your monitor screen.
Intel compilers and the Intel® VTune™ Performance Analyzer with Intel® Threading Analysis Tools helped to maximise the possibilities of multi-threading capabilities during the development of Crysis. See the results for yourself with this introduction to the spectacular world of Crysis.
