Crysis 2 Confirmed For Multiple Platforms 61
EA and Crytek teamed up for an announcement at E3, confirming that Crysis 2 was under development for the PC, PS3, and Xbox 360. Details are scarce (and the trailer is no help), but the game will use CryENGINE 3, which will be able to scale performance such that it will look good on consoles while still pushing the limits of PC graphics. Quoting:
"When asked if that sounded like a contradiction, [Crytek's Cevat Yerli] responded that you have to think of technology as a tool that can scale. He said the game's content scales to the platform it's on. 'The PC version will look better, because of the fact that the PC can do more. It will be scaling up. But on the consoles, you're competing with console games,' he said. 'The goal is to be the best looking game on PS3 [and] the best looking game on 360 in the entire market.' On the PC front, Crysis 2 will compete with the original Crysis, which still sets the bar for PC graphics."

Didn't we have post running several months ago, bitching about how Crytek was going under because of all the piracy? Didn't they claim that because of the "evil pirates" there would be no sequel? Maybe I am confused, my memory isn't as good as it used to be.
Turns out they don't actually lose money every time someone copies their game, and they still get money every time someone buys it.
