CryEngine + Arcade = ???

U.S. developer Illfonic has raised some eyebrows today when they announced their upcoming game for PSN and Xbox LIVE Arcade, Nexuiz, will run on CryEngine 3. For people who don't know, CryEngine is a game engine built by Crytek that keep the Farcry series running. CryEngine 3 is the latest edition and is being used to build games such as Crysis 2. Exactly how Illfonic intends to create a game using the engine that is both affordable enough and small enough in size to be released as a digital download is beyond me. Nexuiz tells the story of two waring galactic civilizations who must come to peace but still hold a grudge against each other. To settle the score without causing more damage to the universe they create an arena where the champions of each civilization can fight to the death.
