When I saw your post, my initial thought was that the link would tell
me that benchmarks on PC would suck, but they do not seem to too much
different from Crysis 1 benchmarks. Also they seem to be saying the
PC graphics are superior to consoles.

So, can you elaborate on what the consolization comment was about?

Thanks

I'd expect a sequel that comes out 4 years later to have better graphics but
because it has to run on 5 year old consoles it isn't.

Hmm, well I can relate to what you're saying but I thought the first
Crysis was such a framerate disaster that I personally do not want to
see them to up the ante with regard to graphics unless they can do so
and maintain a pretty solid 60fps on reasonable hardware at common
resolutions.

I don't even care that much about the graphics, I'm afraid the bigger
disaster will how much less open the levels will be due to console
constraints.

I know there have been plenty of open world games on the consoles, but
nothing like Crysis.

I'm one of those that appreciates open-world but never seems to fully
take advantage of them. I am predicting they will go a little more
toward Crysis Warhead in this one (more restrictions). It won't
bother me but it will piss off some fans of the original.

that 'preview' of performance with Crysis 2 is utterly pointless.
the beta is clearly far from the finished product so there are optimisations
to come from the finished product
that won't be present - and it only runs in Dx9 mode so Dx10 and Dx11
testing isnt even possible.
Techspot did it purely to generate 'hits'.

As far as consolitis goes - of course its there. Every time a game is
developed for multiple platforms the PC version is dumbed down - don't be
surprised if Crysis 3 is console only.

Done with the retail release if anyone still cares.
