Would be great if they actually brought CryEngine.
Or Actually pour money into 2 or 3 Big Middleware company to generate support for Larrabee.

My guess is they're going to make Project Offset the poster boy for Larrabee. It would suck for them having such a cool hardware and no software to demonstrate it, but tech-demos.

But with a very cool game, using most of the chip's resources, they will have tons of drool-inducing things to show both consumers and developers.

What makes you think CryEngine won't support Larrabee right at launch, even without Intel buying it?

Where did he say it wouldn't be supported? His next line simply means getting developers to start programming for Larrabee's unique architecture. He's not saying games will have to be re-written to run on Larrabee. Look at it as an optimization practice if you will.
