Crysis 2 comes to PC and Consoles... NO!!!

I can only hope this does not destroy the PC version. What really is the point in releasing a console version anyways, piss poor graphics plus a low framerate... why?

You only just heard? This is old news, it was announced on mycrysis.com ages ago.

Of course it will play better as it will need about a quarter of the power to run it other wise the consoles have no chance, optimised my arse.

Yes they are using a new optimized engine, which in my opinion is a great thing they finally got their heads out of their arses.
You needed a SLI 280 and higher to get a playable frame rate at 1920x1080 with everything maxed.

I think that this new engine should have this game running smooth like baby's butt on my Crossfire hd4870 1GB , that is as long as they dont spend more time optimizing the console version than the PC.....

Optimising is making something run better without losing anything in the process.

It remains to be seen if this is the case or if alot of stuff is being removed.

I don't own a console...

For the above poster. I do own both, and I know that when it comes to Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. I'd kick almost anyones arse if I was playing with the Xbox Controller vs Keyboard and Mouse. I like keyboard and mouse dont get me wrong, I Just get more into the feel of that game with a gamepad (IMO).

The funny thing I find about this topic though, is how at one e3 a couple years ago, people were bashing sony and the ps3 that the xbox got 60 fps on Madden when the ps3 only got 30. Their defense to that was "no one has the ability to unluck the full potential of the ps3's power yet" lol and already crysis is bringing its high horse attitude to its knees. (right next to xbox)

@str8ballistik,

well, sony's proved their point now, some devs try to make games for the 360 nowadays and then have to scrap it for the 360 because it isn't powerful enough to play the game at 1920x1080, although that's kinda confusing since their GPU power is about the same while the PS3 has less Vram.

Gamepads rule for fps?

I predict Cryisis 2 on Very High will look like Crysis on High.

gamepads rule for fps? rofl.

Ok, ultra slow aiming compared to flick of a wrist and press of a button.

I've seen the best players on console games play, its hilairous how innaccurate and slow to aim that crap is even in the hands of the best players. If you ever seen the best players in CS you would laugh at yourself.

Seriously, the only reason why anyone would say gampads are better is because they are part of the target audience for console games. People who are not gamers and the average 14 year old. The only reason they think they are even good at the game is because everyone who plays these console games online on console are mediocre or just plain terrible because they simply just play these games for like 30 minutes then log off. IE. people who wouldn't have played games in the 90s. Especially since most of these games aim for you, they have autoaim built in so the bads perceive themselves to be better. Its because the controller is so terrible that this needs to be a feature in these games or else the majority of players would be frustrated as its lack of ability to control a shooter.

I actually have used keyboard/mouse in PS3 online, CoD 5 with it is so easy its boring. People who play these games online are just simply horrible compared to PC games.
