Recently Crytek announced their latest game engine, Cryengine 3. This only perked my interest a little as Crytek is notorious for releasing games that set your computer on fire and getting bitchy about piracy (with good reason though I suppose) However they really caught my attention when they decided that they would release their next-gen (Take this literally) engine on PS3 and Xbox 360.
As a developer, this is excellent news. Not only do consoles receive an excellent engine, developers are able to work on PC, Xbox 360 and PS3 all at the same time. I suppose this brings me onto it's performance and I'm sad to say that it's quite obvious (to me) the difference in power between the Xbox 360 and the PS3. Don't get me wrong, it's not because I dislike the PS3 it's just I know that with the release of Crysis 2 (not official) a shit-storm will hit the coast and leave many fanboys injured or dead (and somewhat smelly I guess).
Other than the many fans of their respective consoles who go to war each other most others will on look with a sad tear in their eye as they know that the damned PC fans are sitting and doing nothing with their moon PCs and next-next gen graphics.
Sauce and source.
