Noooooooooo! :wah:

Et tu, Crytek? :(

[NeonSamurai]

Heh we knew that was coming for a while now after they whined about the sales for the game not being so good (what did they expect with a game that most computers can hardly run, let alone run well).

Of course now they can't use the excuse that our computers suck if it runs like crap on consoles :O:

...Of course now they can't use the excuse that our computers suck if it runs like crap on consoles :O:

Of course the opposite will be true - they will dumb down the graphics for consoles and it will run like crap on our PC, to the tune of only semi-fun gameplay and no wow factor - guaranteed to flop.

Well, maby the PC version of cryengine 3 will be more optimised than CE2.

Now what will crysis2 be about.:hmmm:

[SUBMAN1]

...Now what will crysis2 be about.:hmmm:

Aliens. Duh! :D

Aliens... (where do the all come from, that ship aint that big.) Wonder if the kpa are going against or with us.:hmmm:
And if the island was nuked? how is whats her name gonna live with the raidiation.

Come on, it's EA we're talking about here. They gonna come up with something stupid, hype it to world's end and collect the money. :O:

No the ship isn't, but if you were paying attention to the story from the original Cysis, you would have heard them talk about the ship as being a 'doorway' to the aliens universe.

Something just smacked me up side the head - if there is more than one Universe, would we still call it 'universe' and not multiverse? :06:

And the ship was a giant power sink; all the energy (and presumably radiation) got soaked up and caused that sphere to expand.
Come on, it's EA we're talking about here. They gonna come up with something stupid, hype it to world's end and collect the money. :O:Actually it's Crytek, EA does publishing only. But Crytek has just demonstrated that they are perfectly capable of screwing up what could have been a great trilogy... at least if the PC version is gonna be a port, and it sure looks like that's gonna be the case. :hmmm:

What's the point in faithfully buying games if they just bring the next installment to consoles. I should demand my money back. :S

I heard down the grape vine that MS is trying to push gaming out of the PC altogether & Windows 8 will no longer cater for them,:hmmm: that would suck.:cry:

Well your grape vine is a little twisted and convoluted. I know people that have moved on to the Windows 8 project and there is no such talk. DirectX will continue.

That's a relief!!:yep: I'll be letting them know.:doh::DL

I think we all know how big part of game's developement is affected by a big publisher like EA. ;)

Developers: Look here EA we have a new engine developed.
*shows EA beautifull graphics and effects in a sandbox editor*
EA: Good, now the game is finished tommorow.
Developers: But....story, gameplay..and and..
EA: TOMMOROW!

Haha, exactly. :haha:

EDIT: Ow you forgot one part
EA: And remember the game needs to get E for everyone rating!
Devs: But... you do remember this game's about the Manson family?
EA: Yes yes! Just replace the blood with flowers or something... you're the devs, come up with something.

[danlisa]

What's the big whoop about this anyway?

CryEngine 3 is only the 3 edition of the Crysis engine and it just so happens that it's specifically for the consoles.

Just means that the PC will get engine version 4.

As for scaling down the gfx, physics and effects, that demo doesn't look to shabby.....so in your face you non console owners.:O:

Yeah, you're right. I don't see why more companies don't self-publish. Look at Bethesda; they do, and deliver good quality every time.

Danlisa, I'm not so sure. A while back Crytek was moaning about piracy and how they would move to consoles. Getting stuck with a console port would be less than ideal. :hmmm:

Ok, here's a truth that many won't like. The 'money' is with the consoles at the moment especially on an FPS. I don't know what the Crysis PC sales were but you can expect to easily double them with a release in the console market. Expect RRPs of £39.00 for the Xbox and <sigh> £45.99 for the PS3.

Now, Crytek may or may not have made the move to curb the piracy but my opinion is that PC sales tanked and they need to recoup some costs and the easiest way is on the consoles.

Having a port come to the PC isn't necessarily a bad thing. If Crytek have proved one thing it is that their engine is uniquely scalable. I wouldn't imagine that the PC version would suffer to much. At least not as bad as GTA4.:haha:

I'll hold further opinions on this demo until I see full res ingame footage. Engine demos are always better than the final product. Damn hype.

[Task Force]

hmmm... I wish crytek would get a better publisher than evil arts.:yep:

And also, The pc version of crysis is always gonna be better...

1 It is highly modable. (look at all the mods/levels at crymod.)

2 sandbox editor.

3 more buttons for more options.

4 patches are easyer to get... just go to there download page, download, instal.

I never have liked consoles. Everytime a new one comes out, you have to buy a new one.

No the ship isn't, but if you were paying attention to the story from the original Cysis, you would have heard them talk about the ship as being a 'doorway' to the aliens universe.

Hmmm... Im gona have to pay closer atention this time...
