Took long enough, but here it is.

A late, watered down port is too good for the game's thread?

It'll be interesting to see how it turns out, but I have no reason to buy this game on console. It'll probably look pretty bad compared to the PC game.

I'll check this out.

If Crysis 2 is any indication, it'll be one of the best looking games on console period, so no non-PC gamer really has any reason to bitch.

But, it will still look like a cut down version of the original game, with low res texture maps for the background scenary and possibly foliage that doesn't animate with wind motion.

Crysis 2 may have started out looking decent on PC, but with the patches the game looked so much better than what we got at launch and alot better than the console.

The next generation just needs to hurry the fuck up. After Uncharted 3 launches, the current consoles can fuck off. When a portable is essentially on par with the consoles, it's time for a new generation, and we're going to be there before the year ends. Hell, tablets are going to catch up next year most likely.

I'm curious to see how the controls get mapped to the controller. Crysis 2 was tailor made for consoles, correct?

Dude, it's been four years. Anyone who was going to play the PC port already has by now. Comparisons are pointless because this game is targetted toward people who simply will not play it on PC.

So compare it to the other games that audience will play (i.e. other console games). Compared to those, it looks amazing. As does Crysis 2 (notice I never made any comparison between C2 on PC and on console, only between C2 and other console games).

From the looks of the trailer, I expect them to just remix the first game with Crysis 2 controls, not a straight port of the original gameplay.
