This sets the new bar for all future shooters to aim at. Crisis 2 minimum sales of 5 million copies on consoles is now locked.

Huge success for Crytek and Cevat Yerli.

Hopefully it has great sales. I haven't seen one commercial for it yet though.

That's a good point, neither have I.

All they have to do is show 20 seconds of gameplay and every sane person out there would buy it.

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but is it true that the PS3 version has V-Sync while the 360 version does not?

That alone could explain the frame rate differences could it not?

I'm not sure about that, but it does raise the bar nonetheless (especially for 3rd Party devs).

Well I hope it sells 5 million.

If Homefront is able to sell 850K first week Crysis has a good chance at 1.25 mill (which if decent legs becomes 5 mill lifetime). Not only is hype and reviews better for Crysis but EA is also a much stronger publisher than THQ.

Here's to hoping that word of mouth takes a hold. I suspect that when people start seeing everyone on their friends list  playing the game, it will help some. Not to mention how it's reviewing so far. But man some MS powered advertising would be the best.

Problem here however is that plenty of people say great things about HomeFront's multiplayer.

Most reviews are only fousing on Crysis 2 graphics and I haven't heard much praise for the multi.

 

If Killzone 2 couldn't sell 5 million for being the top dog in 2009 I doubt Crysis 2 will do on graphics alone in 2011.

 

 

Still, it looks fantastic and the graphics whore in me will jizz pants when I finally play it.

Have been and will continue to update the op.

My sig contains all the reviewers who either say best conolse game, or best visuals theyve seen period. The quotes are in the OP of this thread to read through.

Who would have thought a company who has held the crown for best graphics for over 10 years, woiuld have done it again.

What the hell?
