So ive just heard that Codename: Kingdoms will be Xbox 360 exclusive.
Does that mean that Crytek will do more of these console exclusives in the future?
If thats so.. that would really piss me off. They dont wanna do Pc exclusives anymore (yes that has been announced and confirmed by C.Yerli) because of the so called high Pc (only) piracy. But on Xbox there is of course no piracy... because there are not enough companys and private persons who will flash your xbox DVDdrive. And there are not enough crews that release Xbox isos over the internet. So its all justified that Crytek will bring exclusives to consoles but not to pcs anymore.
Hey Crytek... i bought every pc game from your company.
I even bought a few high end pcs to play your games in the past.
Iam a loyal fan of all your franchises.
And what do i get for it? What is my reward?
Console exclusives!
First Crysis 2 for consoles.. then the no pc exclusives anymore.. and now pro console exclusives... with this strategy you will definitly loose many loyal customers .
So whats better for your future?
A big fanbase that is devoted to you and your games,
or a horde of "mostly" thankless and narrow-minded console gamers who give a **** about your efforts to make more "inventive" games ?

Who cares about what Crytek does, it's their decision at the end of the day if they want to make an exclusive for whichever console.

Remember, they are themselves, they're not fuelled or controlled by you or anyone. They have people who want to develop games for whichever platforms they want, at the end of the day, they make GAMES.

I like the fact that they are also still with the PC community, many other companies perhaps by now would of turned away from their PC community.

Also, I'm a console gamer too, and you're calling me "thankless and narrow-minded"? I'm also a PC gamer, but I like playing on consoles too, not because I'm someone who doesn't care, but because I want enjoy and play my games.

I think this is going to end up in a seriously heated argument...

Oh I dont know about heated.
more likely to get pulled I woulda thought

We'll see what Shinanigans says eh?

I am very disappointed about Codename Kingdoms being a console exclusive, and I simply won't buy the game.

I have bought every single Crytek game, and this will be the first one that I will not buy, let alone even consider.

No i dont call you a thankless and narrowminded person.
I wrote "mostly" thankless and narrowminded.
Because console gamers "mostly" are at a young age.. because unless you have very rich parents, 12- 18 year olds just cant afford high end pcs.
Dont get me wrong i also dont blame gamers for being young. That would be hilariously stupid. But as a fact young folks are very fast in judging and are not patient enough to sit down and think about some things. So when someone a the age of 16 tries to convince me that his Ps3/Xbox 360 is way better than my high end pc...that can lead to a very pointless conversation.And that "forced" conversation makes me look like a arrogant person even if i only tell what the facts are.
The thanklessness is because very few console gamers are actually honoring what Crytek tries to do with crysis 2 for consoles. Instead it has been criticised in advance that if it wont look as good as version Xy Crytek hasnt used the full potential of console Xy. Because all of these people are hardware specialists and work for big companies like intel or amd or nvidia. ( excuse me for being sarcastic again)

Narrowmindet:
Why do console gamers try to compare games like Uncharted 2 and Killzone 3 or Halo reach to Crysis? Why cant they just accept that this would be a comparison between a Ferrari and Gmc pacer? Why fighting a war that is not worth the fighting?
I mean its just pure logic that hardware on oc keeps evolving while one console generation stays the same?

To Kingdoms:
I will buy it... just to see what Crytek is able to deliver on the 360.
But i still hate the fact that they dont push pc gaming anymore.. because the pc is the plattform that keeps evolving and gives u the freedom of creativity in a scale that no console can offer to a games company.

Because console gamers "mostly" are at a young age.. because unless you have very rich parents, 12- 18 year olds just cant afford high end pcs. Actually, statistics show that today's average gamer age is 30. You forget Pong has been around since 1972.

The thanklessness is because very few console gamers are actually honoring what Crytek tries to do with crysis 2 for consoles You speak for the majority/all of the console gamers out there? What will show how thankful gamers are for Crytek's work on Crysis 2 will be how many copies are sold. This goes for all platforms

Why do console gamers try to compare games like Uncharted 2 and Killzone 3 or Halo reach to Crysis? Because it's what they know. People rationalise based off experiences and those games are the next closest thing they have to Crysis to compare with. What makes that [in your words] a "war"?

To be quite honest, the only "war" i see in those sorts of comparison threads are from biased, angry PC gamers who refuse to allow such a heinous event to take place. It's silly and unwarranted. If they want to compare the SCAR with whatever weapon is in Uncharted, where's the harm in that?

Given the nature of this thread i'm going to close it down as it doesn't seem like constructive feedback but rather a general rant against consoles and we've had a fair share of those threads already.

Cheers.
