So, I have a few questions about the new videos (These also apply to pretty much every other Crysis 2 video ever officially released).

These questions are mainly for Crytek/EA.

Where is the PC footage?

If there is none (Which I don't think there is), then WHY isn't there any PC footage?

Did it ever occur to you that your marketing plan involves screwing over your largest and oldest Crysis fanbase?

How's about I make a LIST of the various mistakes you have made. Here you go:

- There have been 3 official builds of Crysis 2 released (Demos/pre-alpha). ALL of them run on the Xbox 360. TWO of them were Xbox 360 EXCLUSIVE. One of them runs on the PC (And the Xbox...)

- I don't know if it's intentional or just a coincidence, but have you noticed that EVERYTHING Crytek and EA have ever said about Crysis 2 mentions the Xbox 360 FIRST? It's always like this: "Xbox 360, Playstation 3, and PC".
I may be nit-picking here, but it jumps out seeing as the marketing follows the same way. Xbox 360 got the demos first. Xbox 360 has the most footage, PS3 second, PC third. And it isn't like that with BF3.

- Suit modes were removed, possibly because of the amount of buttons on a gamepad. Not a BIG deal, but I did enjoy having strength and speed mode in Crysis 1.

- Releasing footage in 720p ALWAYS. This may or may not be related to consoles (Probably not because other console games like BF3 have 1080p trailers). It is no surprise that you didn't win an E3 "Best Graphics" award when you make your tech demo on a console in relatively low resolution.

PM me if necessary, Crytek. I would just really love to know what goes on in that twisted office of yours.

MS has very deep pockets, and EA likes money very much.

who cares where the pc footage is at. demo tuesday quit being a little girl

Well actually here has been lots of PC footage. Haven't you ever seen the trailers for Crysis 2? That is all in game PC graphics. Unless you want gameplay, your better off waiting for the demo of PC which is coming March 1st.

Its because the game is a console-port and Crytek thinks that the game will be a definitive hit for the PC platform. Unfortunately for them, we dont take crap like this lightly when it comes to purchasing games.

approved!

yeah and i bet you that the demo thats coming out march first for the pc is going to have locked graphics to match the xbox 360 graphics. i will put money on that

Who says the demo will support higher settings?

Agreed. THey dont want 12 yr old kids throwing tantrums and demand a new pc from their moms, when they come to know what pc graphics are actually capable of.

We dont want console monkeys contaminating glorious pc community. Thats why I dont want BF3 to outsell next generic cod 345. That will bring too many cod dude bros to a good bf community.

M$ also gives devs money to release marketing material using xbawx only

brah just wait till tuesday
gdc starts this weekend
IF WE DONT SEE ANY PC FOOTAGE BY THE TIME DEMO COMES OUT
we can all burn down crytek

They don't want to show such superior footage that it causes a huge backlash when the (dumb) console gamers play it and realize that it looked better in the trailers cause it was pc footage. It's a smart strategy given how stupid people can be and pc gamers are smart enough to know that the pc version will be miles better. If you want pc footage go on youtube. You can find some raw gameplay from the leak. Not condoning the leak, i'm just saying. Or wait til the 1st of march

BTW, not hating on console gamers, i'm playing it on consoles but I know that there are some stupid people on all platforms out there but more so on consoles.

The volumetric lighting is awesome in the leaked version. I dont think Crysis 2 on pc would be any different from consoles but Crytek deserves out money for making Crysis 1.

Last two EA games (dead space 2, bulletstrom) turned out to be console crap.

You're right, Crytek does deserve our money for making the original Crysis. They got more than three million sales out of that one. Crytek does not deserve our money for downgrading the game, focusing completely on the Xbox 360, and on top of that charging $60 for the PC version. Buying this game sends the message to Crytek saying, "Thank you for bending us over as you whore yourself to Microsoft."

pay $60 because it lacks key binding and graphics are no better than consoles and lack AA
pay $60 for MOH because it has less maps and weapons
pay $60 for Bulletstrom because of low fov and fps cap and graphical glitches and memory leaks and GFWL

pay $60 for BF3 because of 64 players on pc
pay $60 for crysis 2 because crytek made crysis 1 which was a dream come true, even though crysis 2 might have marginally better graphics than console version and no pc specific gameplay features

I have an idea, how about we wait till Tuesday, then we can fight about resolution? because i can guarantee you on my PC, its going to show not 720, not 1080, but 1920, so how about we just screw the videos, and criticize the demo.

Not 720p, not 1080p but 1920? I'm confused.

you cant show 1920p on yt . We should make a petition for youtube to get at least to 2000p how else can we show the awesomess of cryengine 3?

I have something to say very important. On March 1st DO NOT download the PC demo until I have


Other than big money involved with Crytek and Microsoft for the Xbox, PC is held as Crytek's trumph card, that why you barely see any trailers related to PC other than the leaked MP

approved!

You both missed the point.

It isn't only about the lack of PC footage. It's about Crytek/EA's attitude towards marketing and developing. It's like this (These figures are not real. They are examples. Do not criticize their accuracy):

So, you want to make a game.

Microsoft hears about it and tells you: "If you do what we tell you, then you get 2 million dollars. You have to do what we say even though it means ruining the game."

Your sales team expects you to only make 1.5 million dollars if you spend money making a good game and selling it.

In this situation, I personally would choose less money, good product. If you think about it, our world is what it is with our high standard of living because of innovation and creation. So when you choose to ruin the product to make more money, you have chosen to screw the customer and therefore inhibit innovation.

Most large companies with their (evil) marketing teams will go for the money. This includes EA, Sony, Microsoft, Canon, and possibly Crytek.

Get it now?

Umm, 1920p doesn't exist. There is the mostly popular 1080 and 1200p on the PC, and in some rarer cases even 1600p.

Consoles run on 720p. ^-^
