Crysis 2 announced, coming to consoles

Link

Do you think this is Microsoft's special, last-minute addition to their conference?

I'm not worried about it being on consoles, since CE3 automatically compiles any PC data to console-friendly formats.

But I'm a bit pissed that it's not an exclusive:P

It will suck. Period.

I didn't expect that o_0.

Well I have 0 expectations from it and no desire to see it/get it, so hopefully when they release some footage or they release the game it will be an awesome surprise :). Damn I really wanted that Prophet "expansion" :(.

That sucks.

That was impossible, unless Prophet had a Xen-like aventure. It would've been just a bunch of alien ship levels, and the public doesn't like them.

**** :x new hardware again. Probably the PC version will use DX 11 and SM 5.0.

wheres the wii version I say.

Isn't DX11 compatible with DX10 hardware?

It will suck. Period.

HenriH-42

Hmm, I don't know probably it will suck. The great majority of multiplatform games sucked, there are exceptions though. We shall see what Crytek pulls out of this.

Not fully, besides the new hardware will be out in a few months.

Eh, I'll get myself a Larrabee, not a "regular" DX11 card.

Linear performance increase ftw.

Saw that coming. Crytek can say goodbye to my wallet.

Was one of the best exclusives to PC, as long as the pc version is still there number 1 priority it will be fine.

im happy it's comming to PC, instead of leaving the PC market behind.

i thourght Crytek might since the whole piracy crap.

:) :) YAY, cant wait

Hope it's worth it.

I think it's gonna be dumped down for console.

Their prob. gonna f it up like the last one which wasn't that great anyway. It'll prob. run fine on the consoles and then we'll need a supercomputer to runthe pc version nowhere as good as the console versions, remember their promises of how good it'll run a good dual-core with 8800 series and most people couldn't max. it out except for crytek which was prob. bs as well.

I think it's gonna be dumped down for console.

Mass Effect, Mirror's Edge, even GTA4 are much better on PC.

This is Crytek, they're always obsessed with quality. They even scrapped two games because they were mediocre, and that was before Far Cry.

A while back Crytek announced that they would not longer be doing pc exclusive, Cervat stated that they would have separate teams devoted to each platform though so I wouldn't worry

GAT4 better on PC?

Graphically yes, otherwise, its the opposite I would have to say.

PS. Im getting GTA4 on PC instead of PS3...

Haven't heard of this "compiling" thing, got a link that explains it?

technology is going backward

Crysis looks better then Crysis 2 :?

Here, Cevat Yerli explains they can fill the console versions with the same amount of content as the PC version, explains how they can build on all three platforms at the same time instead of porting some of them, says the PC will benefit even more from CE3's technological breakthroughs and that the PC community shouldn't be concerned.

And that CE3 will look better than CE2.

The EA conference starts in 6 hours and 30 minutes. I hope we'll see it then, if not at the Microsoft conference.

Crytek is a business that is trying to make as much as possible for their games. The encouragement for them is when Halo 3 making $150 million in its first week.Jd1680a

Bah, freaking whores...

Why they couldn't leave this game PC exclusive it just annoys me so much.

great announcement by F**kin El**tronics A*S I will be buying Wii version

Bah, freaking whores...

bangell99

Yeah, it's really stupid they found a way to transfer Crysis' gameplay on consoles. It's stupid they're still giving PC gamers the best product possible and increasing their profit for basically 0 efort, since the engine is designed to eat PC assets and crap console-compatible assets... Whores!

God SM 5.0 No at least by Mercy it will be SM 4.0 or 4.1

C'mon, we all know it's scalable. Cevat said it's better scalable than CE2.

And that one had freakin' Shader 2 support, in an era when most games were SM3 exclusive.

Holy crap, will you guys at least wait until the damned game is released before you start making some of these outrageous statements. We're all PC enthusiasts here, right? We all love PC games, right?

So cut the developers some slack here and wait for them to release their games first. THEN we can jump all over them and call them names.

Wait, Crytek are making Cryengine 3? That's how you know they completely bullsh**ed us when they said 'Cryengine 2 is built for the future' or some other deceiving statement. I just can't believe it.

Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but don't framerates STILL suck in Crysis using today's state-of-the-art hardware?

I'll correct you: the game runs fine (35 fps average) at 1680 x 1050 in "Gamer" with a 8800 GT or better and wonderfull (40 fps average) with a GTX 275/HD 4890 all in "Enthusiast" at the same res. A little example from my own system:

I'm not worried about Crysis 2 going multiplatform. The game will look better than Crysis & Warhead in PC and much worse than both in console vanilla versions, so no reason to bother because the guys are trying to obtain more benefice from console pockets.

I will wait till it comes out to start bashing. Who knows, there might be three versions and the pc version might be the best by far. And the MS and Sony versions might just be watered/dumbed down, who knows.

Just as long as its not beign ported, or brought down because of teh consoles, ill be happy.

Remember how awesome everyone thought Spore would be? Don't jump to conclusions. Wait until the game comes out, I'm sure it'll be superior.

Is not any multiplatform game better looking and faster running in a decent PC than in console? GTA 4, UT III, Gears Of War, Far Cry 2, Assassin's Creed, Quake Wars, Mirror's Edge... Hell, even Devil May Cry 4 and Lost Planet (from a mainly-console-developer) makes in PC run the consoles versions for his money -and cheaper to buy-.

If Crysis 2 fails in PC, it would be because mistakes in the gameplay, story, etc. But in a technical standpoint I can't see how could be worse than the previous titles from the franchise. It will use, for sure, better and more complex shaders, better lightning, new assets and more variety of -probably- bigger resolution textures.

I'm still more interested in Crysis Wars 2.0 itself than in the sp campaign. I'm mainly a mp player today.

Not paying for Crysis 2. I also highly doubt Crysis will penetrate console owners, granted there are better shooters on the platform console owners will much rather play, in addition the elements that made Crysis stand out on PC will be unapparent on consoles(graphics & sound).
