Crysis undoubtedly set a new visual benchmark when it came to delivering breath taking visuals.
When Crytek announced Crysis 2 but also dropped the news that it was getting a release on PS3 and Xbox 360 aswell and would no longer remain a “PC exclusive”, fans were skeptic about whether it would be able to deliver as much as it would have if it remained a PC exclusive.
Crytek president and creative director, Cevat Yerli has an answer to that.
Surprisingly, he feels that the PC version of Crysis 2 will actually benefit from its multi-platform development.
“You have to understand that the budget for Crysis was much lower than for Crysis 2,” he says. “We could spend much more on Crysis 2 because we expected to sell more through multiplatform development.”
The most delightful news is that, PC-only gamers who feels that they may get a “rushed-up” product since the game will also be releasing on PS3 and Xbox 360, need not feel that way any more.
Mr.Yerli assured that PC version will by far be the best version of the game.
“PC gamers will get a better game out of that, it isn’t just take, it’s also give,” says Yerli.
Yerli also stressed that the control scheme won’t be consolized:
“Crysis 2 doesn’t suffer from that, in my opinion,” he says. “It’s superior [to Crysis] from every angle.”
The game is releasing later this year for PS3, Xbox 360 and PC.
