Hmm... I said a demo. But what I really want is for Crytek to stop paying way more attention to the console version than the PC version. PC is where FPS games are at. And I don't think the poor sales on Crysis 1 were due to piracy, I think it was just lack of awareness.
And it's no wonder that Crysis 2 didn't win gamespot's "best graphics" E3 award, when Crytek makes the friggen' TECH DEMO in 720p with console graphics (Except for 2 of the feature demos).
"Hey I have an idea! Why don't we release the graphics demo with no anti aliasing and 720p resolution! That will show them how awesome the graphics are. It will make those beautiful jagged edges stand out nicely!"
Seriously... Not to mention all the other Crysis 2 videos that lack any sort of PC footage. Yes Crytek, we know that your engine is cross-platform. That's great, but don't create and advertise the engine as if that is the only important feature of it.
Oh, and I think that taking features away from all versions of the CryEngine just because a certain console doesn't support it is a very sad waste of potential.
"Oh, well we were GOING to have Super-sampled AA, but consoles didn't support it, so it's gone now."
[That was a random example, may or may not have actually happened]

Anyway...
