Crysis 2 announced for Consoles and PC

[vrd]

Today EA and Crytek announced Crysis 2 for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC.

The next instalment of Crysis will be the first game built on Crytek's CryENGINE 3 and will be released for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC. EA will publish the game.

"The development of Crysis 2 marks a major stepping stone for our studio," said Cevat Yerli, CEO and President of Crytek.

"This is not only the next game in the Crysis franchise, it’s the first title we are developing for consoles and the first title being built on CryENGINE 3. We are excited to have the support of EA Partners again as we work together to make the launch of Crysis 2 a huge event."

Following the announcement of CryENGINE 3 for consoles, it was inevitable that Crytek's next game would be for multiple platforms, but it wasn't obvious that it would be Crysis 2.

"Nothing speaks more to the success of the EA Partners program than when a studio the calibre of Crytek continues to work with us," said David DeMartini, Senior Vice President and General Manager of EA Partners.

"Crytek is already one of the elite PC development studios in the world and we are excited to have the opportunity to partner with them in bringing their award-winning technology and gameplay to more platforms and a wider audience with Crysis 2."

Oh Man! Hope it runs on my GTX 275 hyeah: What are the next high-end requirements for Crysis 2, a minimum quad core CPU and a GTX/48xx series graphics card :rofl:

 

[! 0 t A]

I think the new Crytek Engine is optimized to work better on low end config.

Or as they say it is :|

I'm predicting an early 2010 release.

 

[dragon_unleashed]

I guess crysis 2 might require octa core cpu.......... Lol

 

[axeman]

8 core gtx 275 or better may be the bare minimum. knowing crysis, perhaps they would allow cloud computing to perform the gfx rendering at a minor charge.

I think Crysis 2 is gonna be dumbed down, not only in specs but also in gameplay, as its gonna be a cross platform release. The consoles including PS3 were not able to handle Crysis in its full glory, forget the second reincarnation being more power hog.

Crytek has learned its lesson, without console support its not going to earn money.
