The main differences between the two? For starters, the CryEngine 2 ad uses computer graphics. Another thing: CryEngine 2 rendered pots instead of balls in real time. If you don’t remember the Bravia ad or you just haven’t seen it before, watch the clip below:

Now watch the CryEngine 2 video again and wipe that drool off your face (I know I did). Looks like this video blows Valve’s aging Source engine out of the water. I wonder how Unreal Engine 3 stacks up against Crytek’s.

CryEngine 2 “imitates” Sony Bravia ad

Unfortunately, the PC gamers won’t be able to get a taste of Crysis on said date. According to CVG, the demo will be available on October 26 instead. Why the delay?

Crytek and EA reasoned that they’re “taking some extra time to make sure you that you have an amazing experience but also we did not want to risk the release date of Crysis at this stage.”

Let me get this straight: the demo was delayed so that the game’s launch would be in time?

Hooey.

The real reason is the release of Halo 3, and we all know it. Their beloved resource hog shooter won’t get any attention this week if they decide to push the demo on September 25 because everybody is playing Halo 3.

The upside in all this? Crytek has revealed what that “huge surprise” was. Apparently, it’s the CryENGINE 2’s Sandbox 2 game editor. Hey, Far Cry had one, right? Boy, we didn’t see that one coming.
