Crysis 2: Lower System Req, Better Graphics
The sequel will require less while providing more. Sounds like a good woman.
During his keynote speech at the India Game Developer Summit 2010 last month, Carl Jones, director of global business development at Crytek, said that Crysis 2 will have lower system requirements and better graphics than the original Crysis PC game. We also learned last week that the game's engine (CryENGINE 3) will support stereoscopic 3D which will be demonstrated at the Game Developers Conference in the next few days.
Jones also revealed that the company will provide a version of CryENGINE 3 for indie developers that will be priced lower than a general license. "At Crytek, we believe in the concept of WYSIWYG — What You See Is What You Game — so when you are developing something with our tools you'll know what it looks like on all three popular platforms, the PC, Xbox 360 and PS3," he said.
Students can download the standard development engine and tools for free. "We're interested to see what you plan to do with the engine and you can download it from our website," he said.
So far Crytek has been secretive about the contents of the upcoming game, refusing to spill the details about the multiplayer aspect and the single-player campaign's story. The game will supposedly take place in New York City and feature a new-and-improved Nanosuit. Crysis 2 is slated to hit the PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3 sometime around Q3 2010, however expect to see more information roll out of E3 2010 this summer.

This thing sounds more and more like a console-port
Lots of companies are doing this... theres more money to be made. And unfortunately the PC end of things is getting the shaft. I just wish that PC's were a little cheaper for the higher end gaming graphics so that this wouldnt be the case
Another dead PC exclusive game.
This thing sounds more and more like a console-port
better graphics and less requirements(...)the PC, Xbox 360 and PS3.
You don't need to be kind.
oh come on!! there are very few rigs out there that even today can run the first crysis on full everything in highest res and come in over 40fps - less requirements is good in my book!
Yeah, tone down the trash reporting please. No need for comments like that.
Rab1d i cant see why you're rated down since free license for students (non commercial) is a good thing and we can discuss whatever but if its fun everything else is secondary.
There are plenty of cheap Core 2 machines out there and as soon as the latest nVidia card arrives, people will also be able to buy a bucket load of cheap high end nVida cards for silly prices.
Take the chance that's given to you and you can have a gaming pc as well (9800 GX2 = £120. Fab card)
I wonder if it will run on an AMD/ATI 785G chipset
I also wonder if it will also run on an Intel GMA..nah, I'll stop right there lol.
Might just have to get the development kit and play around a bit. Also, MechWarrior update for Crysis 2? YES PLEASE!
