    (Translated to English from German using Google Translate, forgive if there are errors in my interpretation) 
     
    - At comparable graphics to Crysis 1, the frames per second will be roughly double 
    - Will use up to 8 CPU cores 
    - Will utilize DX11 (mainly compute shaders and tesselation) 
    - Will have more advanced effects such as ambient occlusion, motion blur, depth of field etc.   
    - 3D will be enabled by using depth information from the graphics card and cloning the frames; named "Screen Space Reprojection Stereo"
    - Most likely will use morphological antialiasing (MLAA). This allows better antialiasing for games that use deferred shading (which Crysis 2 does). It is also the same type of AA used in God of War 3.   
    - Higher texture resolution is hinted at, but not confirmed for the PC version. 
    - Console version to be 1280x720, 0xAA, 30fps w/ vysnc

    Good god 8 cores. I really can't wait to see what this thing looks like on a beefy PC.

    I'm assuming by 8 cores, this also means it'll take full advantage of hyperthreading? 
    Either way: YAY for tesselation and double the frames. No more "Oh yeah, won't be able to max it out until 3 years of technology goes by"

     So basically my mother's 5 year-old Toshiba laptop will run it better than the consoles.
     
    Sigh. Hurry the fuck up, 8th gen. :/

    Quite impressive if all of it is true, especially double the fps from the first game. Cryengine 3 looks like it'll be the next best thing compared to the unreal engine 3, I do hope a lot of developers jump aboard to this engine as it looks fantastic and is optimised for consoles.
