I personally would say Crytek let us down the minute they decided to go multiplatform, that was the day they stopped being a PC developer. I personally don't know what studio is making what but the noises Crytek are making are certainly NOT promising. You just need to see the hype they have generated about Crysis 2 on the consoles they have said sod all about Crysis 2 on the PC.
This latest example with the Playstation mag illustrates exactly what is happening, there is already a console bias from Crytek. Yes it is true that PC gamer were the first to show us 2 screenshots from Crysis 2 (that showed next to nothing) and had a short article that said absolutely nothing except the ambigious "verticality" crap. Nope not a peep about the new setting for Crysis 2 in a PC gaming mag. How do PC gamers have to find out about the setting for Crysis 2 ? Oh yeah we have to read it in a bloody console gaming magazine.
I don't doubt for a second that Crytek are not developing all three versions, I imagine they will quite happily off load the PC version to one of their lesser studios to do the port. All the noises that Crytek are making come across as "consoles are our new home screw the PC". It doesn't bode well for the PC version of Crysis 2 and to be honest I find a hard time getting hyped about this port, especially when I have to find information on the game from some console mag.

Well if expanding the Crysis series to consoles will bring more revenue for Crytek to make better looking games in the future, then go ahead and milk the console gamer all the way to the bank. Although theres one condition... the PC version has always gotta be far more superior than console
is it a good idea or bad? lets say you buy a game with it's stock graphic option, but for an extra $5, you can buy a patch that will give you all the tech to boost the game's graphics, like a physx and dx11 patch, so the option is optional.

i must admit thats a poor example. Lets say if the creators of Dead Space were to come out tomorrow and offer a graphical upgrade for $5 that'll spruce up the game to be comparable with games that are out now, then yes id definitely buy it.

i played all call duty games on PC and borrowed world at war on PS3 from a mate. I would have to say that playing through W@W on veteran difficulty would have to be one the hardest fps games ive played in along time. although it was hard, it was great that the game pushed me use smart tactics to get past certain points and actually make me think.
