Hours before its press event, Electronic Arts announces that German developer Crytek is finally bringing its cutting-edge graphics shooter series to consoles.After years of hints and tech-demo teases, the Crysis series is finally headed to consoles. This morning, Electronic Arts and German developer Crytek announced the development of Crysis 2 for the PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3. The game will be the first console title that the notoriously PC-centric studio will develop directly for consoles, having let Ubisoft develop the console spin-offs for its groundbreaking 2004 first-person shooter Far Cry. Ubisoft bought the Far Cry IP outright in 2006. No release date was given.
All good things come to those who wait, ja?
"The development of Crysis 2 marks a major stepping stone for our studio," said Crytek CEO and President Cevat Yerli in a statement. "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." In March, the CryEngine3 was shown off on the 360 and PS3 to Game Developers Conference attendees.As part of today's announcement, EA and Crytek also announced that they were extending their strategic partnership forged in 2004. The deal came shortly after Far Cry became both a critical and commercial hit on the PC for Ubisoft, which EA still owns one fifth of. The deal is part of the EA Partners program, which lets developers pick and choose marketing, sales, and development-support services from the megapublisher. Current EA Partners and games include Harmonix (Rock Band), Valve (The Orange Box and Left 4 Dead), Grasshopper Manufacture (Unnamed PC/PS3/360/Wii project), and Epic Games (Untitled People Can Fly Project).

Doubt it.
The pattern for most multi-format games is that the GFX suck. -
Hopefully they are porting this game from the PC version and that the PS3 wont get a 360 port.
Crysis 1 holds the record for best looking PC game of all time so far, the gameplay was actully really shit, but hopefully Crysis 2 can push that bar.

I loved this game. Even though the controls might have been a little sketchy, this was a very fun game to play. Visually it was amazing but most computers couldn't run it at high enough settings to appreciate this. I look forward to Crysis 2 and hope it's as good as the original.

I've actually played Crysis on high spec Alienware PC (Dont care if you dont like alienware or not, fact is theyre pretty up there)
Long story short, Crysis looks like when i cum, plays like Halo 2.

Halo 2 plays pretty damn good man. Better than most new games out there. Alienware are very good PC's except you're playing 2x as much as you would to just build it yourself. I played Crysis on Highest graphic settings and…wow. Just wow. It did lag a little here and there (like around water or big explosions) but still looked amazazing.
