Actually it would make more sence for C3 to be PC exclusive. Here is the thought about this. When C1 was released it was only known to PC Gamers, console players didnt know a hoop about C1, or Crytek.

Most console players have no idea what they are missing in PC gaming. Now that C2 has become known throughout all the major consoles they now have a taste of a new gaming challenge and to add a graphics environment that exeeds any other game on console.

So now the console players will now become more inclined toward PC gaming. If C3 is PC exclusive there is a higher chance console players will invest into PCs to get the ultimate expereince based on their first experience in C2. Alot of this is promoted by our kicking and screaming about being base raqed not having DX11. many console players dont have a clue what DirectX is. We are not going to go console for a game cause we know it will be taking multiple steps backwards which would be degrading. ****, I have the xBox, PS3, and Wii and they are growing dust.

Like I said in my previous post, dont be too suprised when you go to download the alledged DX11 "PATCH" it turns out to be 6GB. It will be a complete "overwrite"....

I can tell you now this is retarded. No console gamer would spend ridiculous amounts on an up to date gaming PC for the sake of one game.

(Insert.. 'oh but build your own lalala'..) no, most people don't know how so that is not a viable option.

Unless we get next gen. consoles we will be seeing 6 years old graphics.Im sorry.

The 360 accounts for 57% of Crysis 2's sales, with the PS3 taking 29% and the PC raking in a miserable 14%. Maybe they were too busy torrenting it or something. (http://www.destructoid.com/crysis-2-huge-success-xbox-360-dominates-sales-197396.phtml)

gee i wonder which way Crytek is going to go,

gee i wonder which way Crytek is going to go,

And yet, Crytek made more money off a PC exclusive 3 years prior when Digital Distribution wasn't even as big. IF they stayed PC exclusive they would have had more sales and much higher profit margins than they did by going multiplatform. 14% of sales was PC because tons of players aren't going to buy a horrible port - sorry Crytek. That 14% additionally doesn't even take into account digital sales or the profit margins which are exceptionally higher on any PC sale.

Guys, do you know what crytek needs to do?

Do the same as BF3.

Definitely. DICE knows how to develop a multiplatform game correctly.

Well yes. Lets say with Steam sales, sales are overall doubled...so 28%..that also means 42% of the profit share, since profit from Steam sales are twice as high as boxed copies.

I don't care about it being PC Exclusive, I just want the bugs ironed out and a texture pack.

Yep, the advantages of digital distribution are huge for developers and the PC platform, since they bring in such high profit margins.

The reason I ask for PC exclusive is because let's face it, Crytek tried multiplatform for Crysis 2 and failed. They either need to learn how to do it properly or leave Crysis to the PC advantages and develop multiplatform for other IP's. After all Crysis was originally designed for the PC, continue to develop that concept for the PC. Most importantly, leave that incompetent trash known as Crytek UK off of Crysis 3. They are some of the most least innovative poor programmers I have ever seen. Crysis 1 Frankfurt had 1/3rd the amount of staff that Crytek UK had towards Crysis 2, yet Crysis 1 is superior in so many ways. ^-^

Crysis 1 is very much alive. Modding has kept it fresh. It will out live Crysis 2. Crytek has taken a page out of the EA play book. Short sales. They took control away from the gamers, We can't even host our own dedies or even Lan games. We will never see the Sandbox 3 editor. Crysis 2 will have a very short life indeed. I have seen this play out with all the current EA titles. Why would Crysis 2 be any different than MOH and Bad Company 2.

Just fix multiplayer on crysis 2, i wont be buying crysis 3

Jheeeze. You PC guys are such crybabies. Crysis 2 is a GOOD game, and yes, I have played Crysis 1.

..I can see why Crytek aren't going out of their way to please you.

It's not that (I guess no one liked to read my wall), I don't want them to make it exclusive, mainly because most of my friends' PC's would be fried when running Crysis 1, or 2, I want them to polish every Version on it's own. I know, they made a feature to create it simultanously on all three plattforms, but they just have to polish it then. I don't know why, but maybe Crytek did just run out of time. There are so many obvious bugs, porting issues a.s.o, I would tell, that the game is released too soon. Right now, they just have to proof, that they CAN fix it with patches, otherwise Crysis will fall and there won't be any Crysis anymore.

Crytek has never been able to fix anything with patch support. Looking at their history of patch support with Crysis 1, this game will be ditched within 6 months also.

Nobody is saying to make it the ultra PC killer that Crysis 1 was, just that even as a PC-exclusive it is still very possible to have the game scale down to lower hardware. If that was a big focus of Crytek, it would actually be easier to achieve that if the game was exclusively built around the PC architecture. Crytek just stated it would be easier to scale down to low power PC's better if the game was multiplatform to gain the support of the community, but in reality that is not the case. The game has huge optimization problems that could gain more framerates out of just about everybody's computer with enhanced features and texture pipeline improvements and multi-threaded rendering. Crytek's multiplatform optimization excuse was exactly that, an excuse.

The game's "optimization" is mostly smoke and mirrors by lowering the draw distance in a claustrophobic city and reducing the texture resolution in half and poly count down to only a quarter million in many scenes. Crysis 2 could have achieved the same if not better performance and better graphics if they used up-to-date optimizations in DX11 (not talking about performance hampering features like tesselation, im talking about improvements like multi-threaded rendering). The framerate would absolutely skyrocket if it was used properly.

Jheeeze. You PC guys are such crybabies. Crysis 2 is a GOOD game, and yes, I have played Crysis 1.

It's not that PC players are crybabies, it's just that console players accept **** on a silver platter.

Exactly. If you consolers had higher standards you wouldn't be **** on all the time by developers leaving out features the PC side enjoys.

Do the same as BF3.

Definitely. DICE knows how to develop a multiplatform game correctly.


I mean, they can develop a multiplataform game without screwing up with PC.

I say just don't make a Crysis 3 at all.

It's just that console players accept **** on a silver platter.

I think this is a LOSE-LOSE-win situation for Crytek.

If they make C3 PC exclusive, they're losing $$$, which is BAD.

If they make C3 multiplatform... MAXIMUM RAGEFEST ENGAGED.

Anyways, I think it's Electronic Farts who rushed C2. It's THEIR fault.

Of couse is Mama EA's fault. The capitalist speech is louder there.

And yet, Crytek was stupid enough to team up with Electronic Farts. It is Crytek's fault for choosing a publisher that doesn't put out finished games.

Actually if Crysis 3 was PC - exclusive it is very unlikely that they would lose any $. PC has much higher profit shares than console versions and the overall sales would be higher... I mean, Crysis 1 was a PC exclusive and it has Crysis 2 (multiplat) beat in # of sales! That is pathetic, but I am glad this happened because it is a clear message to Crytek that they need to re-evaluate where the heck they are putting their priorities.

Seriously the way Crytek is heading in terms of development, Crysis 3 will be on the iPad and they will lose even more sales because of it. Crytek, get your ass in gear already! The PC platform is still waiting for their sequel to Crysis 1!

-CONSTRUCTIVE ARGUMENT ABOUT PC SALES-

That's a valid point - Crytek should focus on the PC version - that's where I agree, but ... PC exclusive ... that's like going into work and finding money lying on the sidewalk but not taking it because "thats not how you got all your other money".

That is, I think that PC should be the primary platform and consoles should be just an extra $$$ income source.

We should organize a sign petition for making of Crysis 3 only on PC.We are gonna need thousand of pc players to promise that they will buy the game.

The huge problem with this is that Crytek believes that Crysis 2 was PC focused title... Which it was not, at all. Crytek doesn't seem to understand how PC priority multiplatform development works.

In my experience, petitions don't really work well, but we can set one up regardless of that to show support. Crysis may have been pirated to high hell, but I am positive that most of those turned into actual sales. The game went from 1.5 million sales in one month to today having over 3.5 million in physical copies only.

Made a petition here with a lofty goal, sign here!

Sing in support of a PC exclusive title/PC focused title with Crysis 3.

No, it IS that PC gamers are crybabies. The features you enjoy are largely unecessary. Tbh the only thing I'd even want as a console gamer is a server browser.

PC gamers are just self important.
