Crysis 3: Will Crytek's Multiplatform Approach Work?

gamingbolt.com — As I browsed the frightening nether regions of internet tech forums in search of the best new graphics card for my PC, I was startled by just how many people were using Crysis as the benchmark for what a good GPU was. Can it run Crysis? Can it run Crysis on high? Can it run two instances of Crysis at the same time? Those questions were what people wanted answered, nothing to do with clock speeds or VRAM. I’m not really surprised, seeing as how Crysis blew what computer games were doing out of the water in terms of graphics back in 2007. Fast forward to the present day and we’re all still recovering from the sequel to Crytek’s sci-fi epic. Despite pushing technology barriers even further, it garnered a lot of criticism in its own right. What could Crytek do for a future Crysis title to please everyone? Apr 19, 2011 View in Crawl 4

I love Crysis 2, best shooter of the year on PC so far! Waiting for the 3rd part and still playing multiplayer ;)

Crysis 2 was a pale comparison to the original , crysis 2 was built for consoles and poorly ported to the pc. I have a 260core 16 card and could play at he highest settings with no trouble at all ( it was not until i got that card that i could actually see how good the original was) the game play was poor and controilled vs the original ( you could go any where on the island in crysis 1 but you were lead like a sheep in crysis 2 and the AI in 2 sucked vs the crysis 1

over all I was very dissappointed with crysis 2

I'm pretty sure we played the same Crysis, and while there was certainly some room to get to places the way you wanted I'm pretty sure its incorrect to say you could go anywhere, the game was pretty linear as far as where you needed to be/go. You want a game you can go anywhere, try Just Cause 2 (ok must make it through the first 20 minutes of the game then you can go anywhere).
