This sucks
I was really hoping to get my hands on it, it sounds like a brilliant game.

This. Even today it takes a pretty good computer to run Crysis on full settings.
They're concentrating a lot more on gameplay and the story in the second installment. Also, apparently its going to have even better graphics that aren't so resource-hogging. So you don't have to have amazing hardware to run it.
See, that's what I don't understand. How are they going to get better graphics with less CPU strain? That's just magick.
I dunno, better algorithms or something? xD
Code optimization. They're optimizing the engine so it's more efficient, and looks prettier on the same kind of hardware.
Even so, they 360 and PS3 versions are going to be the equivalent of medium or low settings on the computer. Just look at the 360 version of Metro 2033 compared to highest detail screenshots on the PC.
Glad I've got a decent PC to play this on. Is the PC really that much more powerful than the PS3?
yeah it is. a decent computer is much faster
I always though it was the GFX card. The PS3 has a 6 core 3GHz monster inside it but, only the equivalent of two 7900's in GFX. Developers work with this and it gets better - which is why graphics on a console get better over time.
With the PC you have a stupidly fast moving market when it comes to graphics cards and developers don't have the time to squeeze out every last bit of power from every card; so it's up to your beefy graphics card to just number crunch as fast as it can.
Can it play Crysis 2? In 2020 when graphics boards are the size of your motherboard.
