Forums - Gaming Discussion - Crytek announces Crysis 2 for PS3, XBOX360 and PC

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." 

As soon as we hear more about Crysis 2 we'll let you know.

ALthough inevitable but still good to get a confirmation.

Will you have to play the first one to understand the second one? i always liked the looks of crisis but my PC sounds like its gonna die when i try loading up the internet let alone playing high spec game



Can't wait to see a demo of it, maybe it'll be at E3. Best looking console game ever confirmed maybe?



GOTY Contestants this year: Dead Space 2, Dark Souls, Tales of Graces f. Everything else can suck it.

Cant wait to see the miminum requirements, my PC cant even handle the first one LOL.



I predict that the Wii U will sell a total of 18 million units in its lifetime. 

The NX will be a 900p machine

I am curious to see how good console versions will look. I still obviously buy PC version.

as long as they don't pull a farcry 2, it should be alright.


In before debate over which console version will be better.



Check out my game about moles ^

Never played more than 5 mins of the Crysis demo - besides for the graphics, was it a good game gameplay wise?

Anyway, good news!

No, it wasn't. The graphics are the only thing Crysis has going for it

 

Controls - standard PC FPS

Graphics - Good obviously

Plot - lol

Gameplay - generic

Music - bland



Welp, another formerly PC-exclusive developer jumps ship. That leaves Blizzard and...?



"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."
