Those are some amazing graphics right there.
Good work Crytek!
Yeah its opening week was ok but after 2 weeks it droppede to 30th or around there in the UK, thats the problem.
The game doesnt deserve to be ignored, but it doesn't in my opinion deserve all of the praise it is getting.
Edit: Oh, and based on VGChartz data, the game has sold more or less the same in Europe + Others as it has in Americas, so its no entirely their fault.
How does that make it an old article? 1 or 2 days is hardly old, that's how long it takes some articles to pass through moderation...
Edit: I just realised that chances are your a dumb@ss American who thinks everybody writes the date the wrong way. Sensible countries write the date by DD/MM/YYYY, so 3/11/2010 is 3rd November 2010!
I thought Crysis brought plenty of cool stuff to the table. You could tag and track enemies, change your weapon configuration on the fly (wish call of duty/medal of honour etc had this feature), epic graphics, decent story although one that was poorly fleshed out, cool weapon set, varied gameplay, and power struggle multiplayer was a serious attempt to bring some teamwork into the multiplayer FPS world.
If you think there is nothing special about Crysis, then the game is not...
Not just some of the multiplayer bro, all of it. Crytek Frankfurt (the peeps solely behind the original) are working on campaign (and obviously the game engine) only.
I don't understand, why do I have so many disagrees?
What game sold way better on PS3? If your talking Enslaved then they are within a hairs breadth of each other at the moment.
On current VZgChartz data, 360 version is in front on 76,607, while PS3 is on 75,327
You guys don't get it do you. You seriously think being PS3 exclusive is good for sales, get real. Look at how 360 exclusives sell and then look at PS3 exclusives. anyway, I largely don't care about sales though, so I'll just say this, if you are really a fan of Insomniac and not just a PS3 fan, you will go out and buy their multiplat just as eagerly as you would a new Resistance or R&C, because let's be honest, it's gonna be awesome coming from them!

Apparently they made a loss on Heavenly Sword. But don't let facts get in the way of your fanboy delusions.

The reason it sold poorly is that they put out a boring demo, and after that, a boring game...
@ Below, yes I'm sure you can give a detailed run down of exactly which games I have played over the last 3 weeks, for how long, and how much I enjoyed them. I wrote a preview of the game based on the demo which I released before the game went on sale. Would you seriously try and suggest that by slamming it I am actually making it all up just to lower its sales. You fanboys are ...
Funny for Obama to call someone butt hurt. Mate, your gonan get smashed in the mid term elections, then we'll talk about butt hurt.
Not for gamers, but for developers/publishers, like I said.
Polyphony Digital and Gran Turismo springs to mind...
I don't want Crytek to rush the game. You know why, because I want it to be the best game it can be, where as PS3 fanboys just want it to suck so they can go on singing the praise of Killzone, a game which if they were being honest with themselves had many failures.
So Crytek, take your time, and show the gaming world what you can do when you make a game on your own terms!
In the world of shooters, Killzone barely rates a mention in terms of sales (For a developer/publisher the most important thing).
Gears x2, Halo x5, Call of Duty x6, Far Cry x 2, Army of Two, Battlefield x 3 (2, BC, BC2), Resistance, Resident Evil 5, BioShock x 2, Dead Space, Red Faction, Half Life x2, Medal of Honor, L4D x2, Rainbow 6 x2, Ghost Recon, Borderlands and even Crysis have outsold Killzone 2 in the past 5 or so years. Thats 35 games, and I'm sure there a ple...
Well its hardly going to compete if nobody knows about it is it? Whats wrong with a bit of spruking?
Seriously, why would they use two different game engines? CryEngine 3 has more features and is more refined that CE2. Dev'ing for console at the same time doesn't make a difference, you just turn on or off features and bump up/down texture/shader etc quality.
Had they developed over two engines, that would mean twice as much work in building the game and debugging, leading to a worse experience on all formats.
The first games for PS4/Xbox3 will probably look around about as good as say Uncharted 2 with slightly upgraded textures, better lighting, and in 1080P 3D with atleast 8xAA equivalent. By mid way through the generation I would expect to see games eclipsing Crysis's graphics, although perhaps with smaller play areas> By about the 6th/7th year, we should see games looking like Metro2033 maxed out.
All games next gen must surely be in 1080P with substantial anti-aliasin...
Sure, but consider that a 100% improvement in efficieny is surely attainable over the next 2 years, and that your graphics card is less than half as strong as a 5970, and that in two years there will be a card at least twice as strong as a 5970, and that you could triple sli the bastard, then you will be up to a theoretical frame rate of around 24 frames for 1 object by 2012/13! Yeah actually, that sucks.
They for the most part (except for a handful of PS3 exclusives) already do compared to what I've been playing since 2007!
Actually Hans Zimmer or whatever his name is one some prestigous awards for his musical score.
