Crytek is reportedly losing patience with Microsoft and Sony over the next generation of gaming consoles, but while the Xbox 720 and PS4 take time to escape the testing labs, Crytek has been busy with its Cry Engine 3 technology along with Crysis 3. The studio released a stunning tech demo of Crysis 3 running on Cry Engine 3, and the result looks amazing.

Here are some of the things Cry Engine 3 is bringing to Crysis 3 come February of next year:

• Real Time Volumetric Cloud Shadows

• Pixel Accurate Displacement Mapping

• Tessellated Vegetation

• Composite 3D Lens Flares & FX

• Procedural HDR Flares and Shapes

• 3^rd Generation Real-Time Global Illumination

• Dynamic Water Volume Caustics

• Real-Time Volumetric Fog Shadows

• Real-Time Area Lights

• Unlimited Particle FX Lighting

• Integrated Cloth and Vegetation Simulation

• Top Secret Tessellated Toad Tech

That's all, folks. The Top Secret Tessellated Toad Tech sounds especially interesting; toads are going to be awesome in this game.
