CryEngine 2 vs. CryEngine 3

[millertime]

Here's a decent video showing the original CryEngine 2 for PC and the new CryEngine 3 for console/PC. Crytek says that the new engine will push PC hardware and have better image quality, but as you can see it just looks like they've made it so consoles can run this tech. Look at the textures, water quality, lighting, and draw distance.

*Update 6/17/09 Here's a much better video detailing the differences between the 2 engines. excellent video.

That, is a pretty impressive difference to see... I'll bet that the FPS and resolution on console is lower as well.
