so you dont think its goin to be that good for console either.
Crysis is what it is because it was originally designed for PC. It was designed so that even 3 years later it would still be giving PCs a run for their money in terms of graphics requirements. When you take that mindset away, when you take a “be the best imaginable regardless of computing power” mindset and dumb it down to “be the best that today’s hardware can play well”, you lose what made the original so stunning and you definately don’t create something that gamers 3, maybe 4, years down the road are bragging that their computer can play.
I’m sure it’ll be “great” in the same way that MW2 was good little while and MoH was good for a little while. Will it be as good as the original and have staying power to last for years? Not if it was designed for XBOX and ported to PC and PS3. The PC version won’t even be shipping with DX11, which means the graphics engine can’t be much different than the original Crysis.
So to answer your question, no, I don’t think it’ll be great for consoles. It’ll be good for a few months but when Modern Warfare 3 and Battlefield 3 are released later this year Crysis 2 will fall to the wayside.
