Crysis has the worst engine ever. It runs terribly on middle hardware. Bad dev work is bad dev work. Look at GTAIV- its PC requirements are insane.

Crysis has a great engine, it is insane how many things are being calculated. If it doesn't run on middle hardware it doesn't mean it has a bad engine. It's just a little ahead of its time.

The problem with the Crysis engine is that it doesn't scale back very well. But I think it's more of a choice than bad programming. I think it would been a pretty big undertaking to make it scale back more than it already does.

It must scale back quite a lot if it is being used for the console versions in crysis 2

It's not, Crysis runs on CryEngine 2, where as Crysis 2 runs on CryEngine 3. CryEnginge 3 has taken quite some time to develop, so they decided to take that big undertaking in the form of building a new engine

 

 

So rather worryingly for us PC gamers that love extreme graphics this cryengine 3 will not be a jump at all just an easy way to port it to inferior systems. Well crysis 2 will be slated if it is just a crappy ps3 port

Bill Gates had Mac prototypes to work from, and he was known to be obsessed with trying to make Windows as good as SAND (Steve's Amazing New Device), as a Microsoft exec named it. It was the Mac that Microsoft took for its blueprint on how to make a GUI.
