Crysis developer Crytek have long been known for being on the forefront of gaming tech, and judging from what we’ve seen of Crysis 2 (check out Andrew Pfister’s preview for details), they’ve been hard at work bringing their robust and PC-melting engine to consoles like Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. So given the amount of time and attention the developer has sunk into harnessing the power of Microsoft and Sony’s machines, it’s hardly surprising to hear that they are also working closely with both company’s and their respective motion-control technologies.
Crytek CEO Cevat Yerli couldn’t say what exactly the developer has planned for Project Natal and the PlayStation Move, but Yerli did tell Develop that Crytek’s CryEngine does support both technologies. In addition to motion controls, Crytek said they are also looking at 3D gaming “very seriously.”
“It certainly adds a lot to a number of games,” said CryEngine business head Carl Jones. “Depth perception in an FPS really changes the game and makes it a lot more enjoyable. I think people are starting to wake up and take notice that 3D is on its way, it’s not long before developers are taking advantage of it.”
I’m still not sold on either the PlayStation Move or Natal at this point, because I just haven’t seen them demoed in a way that really signals to me that they are truly the next step in gaming (The PlayStation Move especially since it isn’t nearly as radical as Natal). Hopefully this will change at E3 2010 when we can finally see what both technologies are truly capable of in terms of their serious gaming potential.

A lot of people are acting as if they will be forced to use 3D when its just an option. I doubt 3D will ever be mandatory in our lifetimes, but as an option, it would be great for some of us. People who play flying, driving, or FPShooters, could benefit greatly from depth perception. Don't act like just cause you don't want the option, that it shouldn't be available for those that do. I am an avid sim racer, and I would love to have 3D as an option for Gran Turismo 5, Richard Burns Rally, R Factor, GTR2, etc.. Not too mention flying games, or crysis 2 and other FPS's. Depth is one of the most important aspects of those genres and has been far too expensive for most people to consider trying on the PC (120hz TV/$200 glasses, major computer system, etc.). If it became more mainstream, then its price would fall greatly.
I think the stigma of the past attempts is going to follow 3D gaming for a while thanks to how much of a gimmick it has been for all but the most hardcore Simulation folks. Of course, thanks in part to lacking hardware to properly power stereoscopic images, and partly to bad software support for the most part, it has never really had the right ingredients to mix into a great 3D experience. I don't see 3d mattering much to people who just enjoy more simple games or platformers and such, but flying/racing/shooter sim fans could really use it as an actual gameplay tool. And since when has games ever been about necessity anyways, its all for entertainment, and if the option makes things more entertaining to some people, then let it.

Yeah so get used to it, if I wanted to get hastled by someone who didn't know what they are talking about i would just watch Fox News, anyways why does everything have to be 3d, personal it doesn't make me want to play games anymore than normal, i think it will hurt games because it could raise the cost of them one and two, if you have gone to a 3d movie has anyone else felt like their eyes were on fire. Making a game 3d isn't going to make it better if the game its self isn't already good.

I really think all the people that are hating on 3D and the new motion technologies are going to feel like fools in a couple of years. The fact that both are getting so much support from developers means that in time their will be high quality content for those features. You just need to give a chance and accept change. Technology is only going to continue to evolve faster as time goes on, so get used to it.

Hello All,
I remember the first games, I didn't like it that much. I was able to run it at "30FPS" with my high end graphics card . This is why I am glad that Crytek's second installment of Crysis will be multi-platform. 3D gaming has only been out for a little bit of time. I think once 3D gaming comes to the console and developers had more time working with the technology, amazing things might happen. Just think of all of the interactions and possibilities.

the more options the better

Dude, I don't care for 3D either. I mean, it's an interesting option, but I would never want it as a standard. I can't stand 3D tv as it is.

3D gaming is so overrated. These companies are really trying to shove this down our throats.

I hope it'll look and run well on the 360, I hate shooters on the PS3. If it happens to come multi-disc and/or has inferior graphics on the 360, PS3 it is for me.
