Cevat Yerli doesn’t shy away from next-generation hardware talk. For the last year or so, the Crytek CEO has made that his studio is preparing for the next line of consoles to drop in 2012. During a presentation at GDC Europe, Yerli again mentioned the year -- several times -- in conjunction with new hardware. After the presentation, Yerli explained to
Joystiq that the next-generation of the CryEngine would be ready, even if console manufacturers are not.
"We will have our next engine ready by that, independently whether there will be hardware or not,” Yerli said. “We are assuming based on the cycle -- the Moore's Law -- and everything if you predict the computational power and trend. You kinda know how much CPU and GPU will be there and trend. If you take those things into account you can sort of predict where things are going."
2012 sounds like a good year to release something newer and more powerful. That is if we aren’t all dead by then. The Mayans know things.

This gen or next.
I can't even imagine what the next round of games will look like and the new features they will contain. A large part of me can't wait for it though. Sometimes I feel like these are the awkward teen years for video game consoles. I can't wait to see more fleshed out ideas and game worlds, better online services, and lessons that were HOPEFULLY learned this generation, applied to the new consoles.
