No Surprises Here, But Crysis 2 Looks Best on PC
Time to make sure that your gaming rig is Crysis 2-ready, because people will be asking you.
It's no secret that Crytek is spending some time to make sure that Crysis 2 will be one of the best looking games on consoles, but make no mistake, it will still look the very best on the PC.
That should have never been in question, but recent technical demonstrations have taken place on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, which potentially worried the PC faithful. Crytek CEO Cervat Yerli says there's nothing to be worried about.
"PC is the best looking version, yeah," he answers, in a CVG story. "But if I had shown it on PC, it would have been like... okay, Crysis 2 is on console, but they're not showing the console version. So we wanted to go with console."
One such video is the one below:
If you're still sceptical about how Crysis 2 will look on the PC, check out the two new screenshots below.
That's not to say that Crysis 2 hasn't been influenced by console gaming – it certainly has – but Crytek insists that it's been for the better, thanks to the competitive, brutal nature of the console market.
And in case you missed it from before, here's the direct feed of the Times Square debut trailer:

That $300 will only give you a video card, if that, to run this game proper on very high settings. I game on both console and PC, so it is sometimes hard to pick which one I am going to buy a game for.
But Crysis, Crysis Warhead and Crysis 2, PC all the way.
Not on a console.
yes it is better coding. else they wouldn't have it running on consoles.
but a 4870 is not a high-end card anymore, so don't expect much.
If the consoles can run it, I'm sure that a 4870 should be able to run it just fine...

For most of what you look at, there will be something better ... for a price. Which one is the best bang for the buck, THAT might be a worthy (but flamable) topic.

Run it, yes. Max it out, no. I have high hopes for my core i7 750 at 4 GHz and 5870.
Oh & a ATI 4870 only has what 80% more horsepower than the 360 GPU so yea it should run it fine. If i am off on how much more horse power the 4870 has over the 360 & PS3 GPU's please stated what the number actually is.
