I will ask this briefly and I would like a simple answer from Crytek (yes/no is sufficient)... Will we see proper PC footage on this E3? (by proper I mean played with mouse/keyboard and on high level settings)

I doubt we'll see it on E3. E3 was mainly for consoles.

We may see something in near future though.

Ditto to what he said.
Although one thing, they Have to show off the xbox360 and PS3 gameplay also, remember they are having a larger target audience and unlike Rebellion and Sega, they aren't going to screw it up. We all know of the AvP 2010 incident.

Well, PC is just as important to them as PS3, because if you read the forums, about 90% of the people will be getting the PC game (Mainly because they can play it). I would too, if I had the PC

Also, so many people call this a "Marketing Strategy". They show off the 360 and PS3 version first, then they show the PC version, in all it's glory. It makes sense as it builds up.

This so-called "marketing strategy" seems more like spitting to PC gamers faces rather than enything else imo...we made them what they are now, we at least deserve something and not blatant ignoring...

You have a good point, but then it will feel like nothing when you see the PC build now. It could look really different.

But dont get fooled. Is this PC gameplay with a 360-controller?. As IGNs video showed when the game crashed to the Win7 desktop.

I think they were just showing a recorded video, and it was on a PC. The player crashed to desktop.
I can kind of understand that they want to show Console footage at E3, because that's about the only way to show it to people who have only consoles. The day after E3, they can put up PC footage on the internet for everyone with computers to see.
The problem is that they are not telling us anything, and are ignoring our requests for information. Which is making me suspect that the PC game is nowhere near as good as Wars and is probably just a total XBox port.

Yeah there's that video. It looks like another crappy xbox shooter with xbox designed gameplay. They're showing it a PC there and it's on a controller. What a joke.

Kuro6, how can you be so sure. Maybe you haven't read my post about leaving the best till last?

Many of you are constantly forgetting that Crysis on PC was a sparkle, just because it's moved to console doesn't mean that sparkle is gone. The engine (CE3) is just an improved version of CE2, with the fact that it's all optimized. So really, I doubt the quality has changed.

Crysis 2 is designed around the xbox 360 with 256MB of ram. That means the levels are going to have to be at least 1/4 the size and the textures wont be as high resolution. Because developers are all lazy with multiplatform development. PC versions of games never have higher res textures or bigger levels or anything like that because it's considered to much extra work. Let alone reconfigured controls or AI. It's pretty obvious from all of the videos that the levels are a lot smaller and much more linear, it actually looks like a corridor shooter most of the time in all of the gameplay videos.

If you look at the bottom you can see a bar that shows pause and what not. It is definitely a video from the xbox 360 on the PC

This is not a video and not a pre-recorded video. The bar you are talking about is present even when Cevat talks. I've read some amazing things about this crash (some even said that they were emulating the X360... simply lol @ that).

Whether it's maxed out or not, this is PC footage (remember that when they demonstrated Crysis1 at E3, they were using an X360 controller and there were only button indicators on-screen)

free2game, their lead platform will always be PC. They're showing console because it's only fair that they receive the same treatment. We all will at the end of the day.

Also, you're taking this game like it's made for 360, let me rephrase this; The game their making isn't a console port, it uses LiveCreate. If you want more information, check out Crytek's official website.

Since they have more responsibilities now, they have to be fair to all platforms. But even so, the LiveCreate feature allows them to create a game that makes the most of the platforms hardware.

If you look at every multiplatform FPS that's come out over the years, the 360 is always the lead platform. The lowest common denominator determines how far you can push things, that's the xbox 360. It's limited to what it can do. Even if the graphics are better, the controls still look like they're totally designed around console which means they're going to feel like precise than the first game, the hitboxes are going to be bigger, and things that couldn't fit on a controller will be taken out, even if they still work on a keyboard. That's just how every multiplat FPS has been. It's pretty logical to assume that.

Haha. Been watching the GT video?

I think you're forgetting that part about LiveCreate...

[quote]I think you're forgetting that part about LiveCreate...[/quote]LiveCreate doesn't make the controls suddenly better on the PC, Crytek have to do that themselves, and developers NEVER do it with multiplat FPS games. It's always designed around a controller and then ported over.

You know, they could just change the control settings on the PC, I mean, nothing is getting in their way.

But that's beyond me...

livecreate can only be understood as best way of porting... you don't have to make one version and then port it... you make one for all... BUT it must work for all the same and you have to have this in mind while designing ...the desing is as good as the worst console can handle;) so basically it is a port...

DId anyone else notice Lean function back, with kick, detach, and more? The controls will be fine, they are a vast improvement over Crysis IMO.

But yes, that CTD is pretty funny, but i think its just a 360 video being shown on the PC for convenience reasons.

Never knew 'PC Footage" was 360 graphics...with a 360 controller...but hey, at least it's on a PC. LOOPHOLE.

But I won't start critisizing until E3 is over.

Nontheless. The consol Graphics looks in my opinion better than crysis for the pc.

Just hoping they don't simplify the game because of console. Tho they'll probably just ass auto-targeting for them because they can't aim for sheit with controller~
