Poll: What do you think about Crysis 2 on consoles?

[AnAngryMoose]

Well, the thing about Crysis being a PC exclusive is that not a lot of people have PC's that could run Crysis on high enough settings for the game to be visually impressive.

If the developers can streamline the engine to perform well on consoles without significantly reducing the game's graphical capabilities, I say why the hell not? Personally I would love to play Crysis on the PS3 on my shiny 52 inch 1080p LCD TV.

This. I think it's a great idea that console gamers who have heard about it are able to play it now. Personally, I don't think exclusives are a good idea because it just creates enmity between owners of various councils and developers lose out because no one in their right mind is going to buy a PS3 just to play Little Big Planet, or an Xbox 360 for Halo 3. Making games multi-platform makes everyone happy.

I dont have a computer.
I have a Mac laptop (I'm a student).

So Im pretty happy about its coming to consoles.

PC only. They did dumb down the game for the consoles.

Crysis 1 and Warhead had 4 modes for the armor - Stealth, Armor, Speed and Strength. We accessed them by pressing middle button + moving the mouse and selecting.

Now we have 2, to make sure there is just one button - "Switch Modes", just so the console players don't get confused...

There's actually 4 options still, they've just stacked them differently. There's something like Stealth and Tank modes (Tank is armour + strength + speed or something like that) on which you layer one of the other 2 options (ones a tactical mode to reveal enemy locations and enhance audio so you can hear them speaking I think). They've made the system better, it always felt a little clunky to have to switch so furiously mid-firefight.

So yeah, I think someone owes console players an apology.

EDIT: I just looked at how old that comment is, but still.

Source? And yeah, necro-thread is bad.

There's only been one set of previews too (i.e. all media outlets have been shown the same level) and it's detailed in any number of those.

I see. Still, I think that at the time of writing the post, there were only 2 modes announced.

Also, that's one freaking ugly Wiki page...

Fair enough - and tell me about it, I had to highlight all the writing just to be able to see it.

crysis 2 will be best on pc but it wont be bad on consoles if it has a map editor like far cry 2 i will have to get it

Nah i dont think its such a good idea.
I got nothing against Crysis and havent played the first because my PC probably couldnt run it.
But if its on consoles too they are gonna have to dumb it down because of controller limitations (and cos the majority of console players are tards) and the graphics will have to be worse compared to the first if they wanna have more than two guys on screen.
And from what I heard Crysis is pretty generic without its graphics.
So taking away what makes Crysis good will make the game pretty mediocre i think.

I own a Xbox 360 and mainly play that, but PC is undoubtedly superior.
I would love to be able to play Crysis 2 on the box but I think that it should still be a PC exclusive if its going to rival the first.

PS3 maybe could handle it though, without freezing and destroying reality like the sucky Box would.

you forgot to write "/dumbass fanboy"

And you forgot to state you are the dumbass fanboy who is over obsessive and cant take a damn joke.

You know im not even gonna bother to write a proper response to the likes of you.

Your just ignorant.
