Cry masterpiece

[City Ace]

Crysis..... Whenever i think of this game, the thing that come to my mind was that a volumetric light passing through a tree in a vast forest. Crysis was 7 years old but even today for me the graphics were extraordinary. Cry engine 2 was a masterpiece. It was one of the first games to use DX 10 and pixel shader 3.0. Does anyone played I.G.I 3 MARK. It was released in 2006 or early 2007 i think by a small third party company , but this game too use shader 3.0. It was released over a year before Crysis but how does a middleware company released a ps 3.0 based game. There are a lots of top developers such as ea, ubisoft, activision etc but theirs first ps 3.0 games came in late 2007 and 2008. I.G.I 3 THE MARK doesnt have much popularity but it needs pixel shader 3.0. Maybe the first game to use this.
