I don't like the idea of exclusive title just because it makes the fans happy, if you can get it to work well on both PC and on Consoles then great do it, though I don't think I am going to be playing this game, never played the first the and the lead writer is being sort of a dick plus I was never to interested in it.
Given that my PC will never be able to run the sequel, I welcome the chance to play it on a console. Not to mention it means my non-PC gaming friends can finally get a fair chance to play the series! We can only hope the original and Warhead are bundled and ported sometime over the summer.
I don't care either way, as long as the PC version doesn't end up as a crappy port of the console version and they don't dial down the Nanosuits flexibility. Seeing alot saying the graphics are going to suffer because of the console but I don't think that's true. I read that rather than improving the graphics even further, crytek have spent their time optimizing the engine to work on more systems, still very few PCs today that can run Crysis 1 on full. Besides, the consoles will have their graphics fixed to what they can handle whilst the PC is gonna have scaleables.
Okay, I only own a PS3 but reading that still pisses me off. The 360 is a great console, and all three versions are essentially gonna be the the same. I hope you're a troll.IBlackKiteI said:
I seem to remember reading the latest toolkit for the cyengine 3 (think thats the latest number), you code for the pc, and the toolkit spits out almost finished versions for the 360 and ps3.
This means that the PC by definition has the best looking version (if you have the hardware to run it), and isnt held back by the console versions, as the engine is capable of automaticaly optimising the game for the other versions.
This approach makes the intial phase of creating the engine bigger, the creation of the gameworld in that engine is much less work.
It also means the game is inheriantly very scaleable to different hardware so means that people with lesser PC's will get a better experience than they would with a less scalable engine.
The article also mentoned that the new engine is not at the top end that much more beautiful than its predesessor, but that mrope people will get closer to its best looking.

I think that it's kind of dumb that Crytek tries to claim that they want it to be cutting edge in graphics, but only the PC version will actually be doing that.
Still, I can see the reason behind making it PC/console, rather than exclusive, so I have no real opinion.

They did a good job with trasfering the battlefeld game onto consoles, so i think it would be a great game on both systems
Ah nothing brings out the elitism in people like the sequel of a game they selfishly hoarded from all other platforms being released multi-platform 
. I'm sort of in the "What the hell is Crysis" crowd since my pc is only good enough to run Starcraft 2 when it's released since that's the highest spec pc game I care about but I'm happy for the opportunity to find out.
On the subject of people here saying that the pc has no exclusives, you have an entire genre that is more or less exclusive to pc. I have never played a good RTS on a console. Also FPS games are sometimes dumbed down for sequels because developers run out of ideas not because "most console players are tards", I know whoever said that was probably just flamebaiting but it seems some people actually think that so it deserves to be addressed. I challenge you to play Counter Strike for 2 hours on the pc and not be convinced an equal percentage of console and pc players are "tards".

Okay, okay, sorry, cutting edge consoles. There, are you happy, or are you one of those PC elitist morons?AlanShore said:

It does raise a valid point though. Where do you draw the line between releasing the game on multiple systems and making concessions to ensure that the game works on lower end systems while neglecting the "cutting edge" hardware? I find it interesting because I guarantee that Xbox360 and PS3 gamers would be quite vocal if their AAA titles were all watered down graphically so that they could be released on the Wii (I'm assuming you're not counting the Wii as "cutting edge"), but if PC gamers dare to complain that their releases have been compromised to accommodate the Xbox and PS3, they're just labelled "elitist".
Man I hate when people try to convince us all that you can't be fast or accurate on a gamepad. It's called increasing the sensitivity, and practice. You've put 5000 hours on PC FPS gaming, and expect to be as good with a gamepad in a couple hours? Yea... no. It takes more skill to be precise on a gamepad but it's not impossible. I know developers tend to add auto aiming to console games which is sad and doesn't really help the situation when PC elitists are involved, but for example I turned the auto aim off in BC2 and beat the entire game on PS3 on Hard (Then again Fallout 3 on PC uses some crazy auto aim). It wasn't that hard, but there's really really no reason to believe that gamepads are oh so much worse than a mouse. There's limitations to be sure, but they're still good.
OT: I think it's a good thing. I doubt Cryotek will lower the graphical requirements for the PC version, and increasing their sales and public image by accessing more gamers is nothing but good, especially if we as gamers want to see more from Cryotek.
PS: I like consoles and PCs. In fact my PC probably puts a lot of other PC Elitist rigs to shame (i5 750 CPU (OCed), MSI P55GD65 mobo, Radeon 5850 GPU (OCed), 4gb RAM (1600mhz/8-8-8-42) - capable of playing Crysis on Ultra settings with 4xAA although I prefer High settings since I can't notice the difference.

Of course they were: consoles are like very weak and outdated PCs. But apparently DA is still fun on a console.ciortas1 said:
You misunderstood my point: all too often a game is made for the lowest common denominator (the console), so the PC gets stuck with a badly coded mess that might have been infinitely better if it had not been crippled from the start.
DA is an example of a game developed for both, with limitations kept in mind, rather than a game that needs to be extremely heavily cut so it plays on a console or the afore mentioned horrible quick port.
Thats all good, but basically Crysis 2 and more specifically the so called cryengine 3 is just a rip off. It is a tuned down cryengine 2 for consoles.Who cares about graphics, the naive console fanboy will say to which I respond: In a game like crysis where gameplay is weak and repetitive, graphics play a very important role.
See this video if you don't believe me
What a shitload of fail... Cryengine 2 is such a cashcow..

Maybe just for Ps3?
It would give me a reason to actually play it, and I doubt my 360 could handle anything near it.
