I know the first one was on PC, but why all the negativity towards consoles? What i mean is that everyone seems to be going mad about witch will have the best graphics. Who cares, i have ps3 and i know PC will have the best graphics and there wont be much difference between the 360 and ps3, but seriously who gives a ****. This game looks incredible to play and the online looks and sounds real fun. Cant we all just enjoy this game?

The problem the original fans have with consoles is the fact that they limit the game for PC users. We don't give a xxxx about which of the consoles is gonna look slightly better/worse. The fact is Crysis was a revolution in PC gaming and is still a benchmark for graphics, physics and open world environments. Sort of like a Concorde moment, a real push to see what could be done in a game.

I still have hopes for Crysis 2 though but the proof will be in the playing.

Because consolization caused Crysis 2 to not become a big graphical advancement. Oh, and why share the experience when consoles will just taint the graphical prowess and the Multiplayer.

These are the reasons why.

Still getting it for my Xbox and still loving Crytek for pumping out its chest and giving the concorde moment the PC gaming had in 2007, to consoles. While fixing the story up.

I think the same thing that Jac, the Crysis 1 was exclusive for PC and many have not liked that also the players of consoles could play to this great game, for reasons that already Jac has said.

It seems to my me likely that have decided that it could play in consoles for those persons who have not a PC.

I it will play in PC after all

^this aswell.

I have something to add though: If Crysis 2 is a success (Many players will like and play it, console and PC players.) then maybe EA will decide to put more efforts on the development of Crysis 3 and hopefully a new console will come out by then so we can get rid of several limitations.

Its going to succeed. All my friends loved it because of the graphics and the setting. COD and Halo fans, like I am, love the look of the MP. Also PC fans who loved the first will play the second mainly to dabble in the MP once or twice but really actually buy for the story, sandbox which will of course EVENTUALLY will come out.

So its a win-win for EA and Crytek. EVEN if this doesnt sell, EA will sell it out since its one of the best PR, then EA will try again. Its doing it with the sale-fail called Mirrors Edge 2.

Got to love EA though (now), even if a game flops (mirror's edge), they are still willing to give the developers a second shot at it if they think it could have a future. Which is much better than the activision route of 'if it isn't already out, we're not making it'.

I can't play it on PC cause i dont have the money for a top end computer so ill be buying it for 360. Its still going to look fantastic and blow other games out of the water so im happy either way

You don't need a top end computer ^^ a ￡350 one when built will look better than the consoles by a fair way, and something around ￡600 will max it out, which will be the difference between two console generation in terms of graphics compared to console

^^^^^ I have a 4 thousand dollar alienware laptop i bought back in 2007... i downloaded the demo for crysis and i had to put everything on the lowest setting and it still lagged really bad

Are u trying to get flamed or something?

There is no real need for such harsh attacks.

flamed for what?

Damn, I tought u were joking or something?
I mean 4000 $ and it couldnt run crysis on low wtf?

ya dude... idk if it was just the demo? but it was so laggy and the game looked like **** on all the lowest settings.. thats why im gona stick to 360 and be happy with that

Good choice my man. They are optimizing Crysis 2 on all platforms separately to ensure that it's a mind-blowing experience no matter which system you play it on. Crytek has ensured that.

yup exactly... currently im playing halo reach until crysis comes out and i thought this game had stellar graphics until i watched the crysis 2 vids.

You spent $4k on a computer? o.O

That warrants a o.O all on it's own. You can run crysis 1 max on something for around $550 or so! Even in 2007 a machine costing around $600 would have hit medium.

Although it WAS alienware.

Its called build it yourself. Alienware takes a bunch of people with money burning in there pocket for granted.

Halo Reach is good looking at times, there is a GREAT job with the textures and scenery at times, but still dont like the kind of art style they injected it with.

Pretty much, the day i recommend alienware is the day i'm actually dead and my corpse is a puppet for dell.

AVOID.

I thought it looks pretty bad quite often to be honest. Apart from the faces, the halo 3 engine was actually better. The reason? I can't stand the terrible blur they put on games to mask the 20fps they have. It's not crysis blur (that's fine), it's horrible blur. It was on Fable 3 as well. *shudder*.

Protip for 360 developers: if your game isn't reaching 30fps, take stuff out, don't mask it with terrible blurring effects.

Thats what I meant. I like the engine but that really made me go.....wow.

It was almost as bad as.....dare I say it?

Killzone 2.

wish i knew that about alienware 4 yrs ago :/... it was a graduation gift from my parents at the time. I wish i could play crysis to hold me over until march 22nd
