Expected, but still a good beginning to E3.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
I enjoyed Warhead more than Crysis, but I'm still not overly impressed with the franchise and don't know if I will bite a third time.
Unless it's a seriously big step forward I doubt I'll get it for anything more than a tech demo.

Well boo to the fact that the game may have to be compromised for consoles but still, its Crysis 2 and I'm sure Crytek will make the most of the PC platform. Sure it'll scale incredibly well. I just fear the scale will have to be dialled back too much for the tiny RAM pools available on consoles.

I wonder if this could be the first time a sequel has looked worse than a preceding game?

The Cry Engine 2 demos did not look better than Crysis. So I wouldn't expect that at all
Commercially putting it on consoles too was the obvious option, regardless of what it means for the game's graphics (though I expect on PC it will look >= Crysis, at least)

Sweet.
Hopefully they're pushing the art direction a bit away from sunny beaches. The ice parts of Crysis were incredible and underexposed in the media.
Oh and finally the console-only crowd gets to acknowledge the excellent gameplay on offer.

Fixed.
No way this will look better on consoles than Crysis on PC already does... I just don't think it's possible.
I'm really keen to see how this engine runs on PC, however.

Nice.
I'm curious as to how the console versions will look.

Yeah, that's one of the best things that will come of this. Well, hopefully the don't have to compromise the scale, physics and interactivity too much,a s they were a big part of what made the gameplay so unique and progressive.

Within the top half a dozen console titles in terms of technology I'm sure, the small tech demo was more than enough to convince me of that. It'll be head to head between this and Rage for the crown of most impressive multiplatform engine. Should still give Uncharted 2 a decent run for its money as well, though it'll probably fall behind due to its multiplatform nature, all things told.

Maybe, but 90% of GAF never saw anything else.markot said:
Crysis is a much better game than it's gotten credit for.

well EA's other franchise achieved that.
Madden 08 compared to Madden 07 for the PS3/360 lost:
HDR
3D grass
High Res Player Models
Player Models seemed to have shrunk as well.
and the PS3 version still remained at 30fps. (where as the 360 version moved up to 60fps)

Wasn't it established (in places like B3D) that the CE3 demo was a WIP with the intent of matching Crysis performance on the consoles with necessary optimizations of the overall engine to the point where any future game would surpass CE2 if it was thrown onto consoles? And that the PC versions would benefit from all of this.Poimandres said:
I seem to recall a post from a dev or someone saying that the optimizations made were the most key feature of 3. And that people looking at the demo and going "DOESN'T LOOK ANY BETTER" were missing the point.

This news actually kind of surprised me. I expected Crytek to make a console game but I expected a new IP, not a sequel to Crysis.
I'm one of those anal people that don't really like playing sequels unless I've played the previous games, so I probably won't bite unless they port the first game as well.

Crysis was pretty meh as a game. It wasn't bad or anything but it was you standard FPS game with nice coat of paint. Crysis Warheads on the other hand was really great game.
And what comes to this news I am kinda disappointed. Even with the awesomness of the CryEngine I don't see how they could build big open world game with same or better graphics than orginal Crysis on consoles. Graphics aren't the definition of a game but I have always considered Crytek to be the ones who set new bar on PC gaming (graphics) but if they have to restrain themselves because of consoles then I don't see they will be setting any bars in the future of pc gaming.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not much of a surprise, hopefully they develop it as a PC title and then fit it onto the consoles, Crysis Warhead plays alright with a controller (well as good as any game can). So hopefully it's just the graphics they tone down for the console version.
