PC Games Hardware had the chance to ask Cevat Yerli, founder of Crytek questions about the technical side of Cryengine 3. Cryengine 3 is Crytek’s next-gen engine is going to be powering Crysis 2. PC Games Hardware asked Cevat Yerli some really interesting questions, one of which caught our attention. According to Cevat, Cryengine 3 will be using an in-house custom made physics engine and will not be using any middle-ware such as Havok Physics or PhysX for the game physics. According to him this will “allow the destruction of almost any object (trees, vehicles or buildings)”.
We also embedded the CryEngine3 Beauty Trailer below that was recently released showing off the different features that Cevat was talking about, there is also a section of the video showing off “interactivity” and “Procedural Destruction and Physics”, looks pretty awesome check it out below.
In an interview with PC Games Hardware Cevat Yerli talked about the Cryengine 3, which the forthcoming Crysis 2 is based on. Which advantages and improvements have been integrated in the new structure?
Another advantage of the Cryengine 3 is that it is delivered with a physics engine that has been developed by Crytek and doesn’t use middleware like PhysX or Havok. The in-house creation allows the destruction of almost any object (trees, vehicles or buildings).
