Well, seeing as the game was developed for consoles...

Hahahahahahahaha... no it was definitely made for PCs. I would even think to say that it's the best looking Xbox 360 game to date... but the PS3 suffers a little bit behind the 360 version (and the PC version is bar none, the best looking PC game to date).

No, it was definitely developed with consoles in mind. PC graphics being better is only better because PC hardware are miles ahead of the outdated console hardware. If it was truly for PC, then we would have gotten a way more different release from the one we got. A much better one.
It doesn't take a genius to see that consoles made Crysis 2's graphics settings...

And I quote Crysis 2 executive producer Nathan Camarillo here...
--- Quote ---Our goal with Crysis 2 was to bring a Crysis experience to consoles. So that means fundamentally we’re starting from our PC roots and then wrangling the console to our will in order to create that kind of gameplay and gameplay experience on consoles

I really want to stomp out this myth of the game being made only for consoles... sooo...
--- Quote ---Consoles have been lacking the kind of gameplay experience that Crysis-style games offer. That’s what caused us to build CryEngine 3. We ripped the guts out of CryEngine 2 that we used for Crysis 1 and rebuilt it from the ground up to run regardless of whether you’re on a PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, or a PC. So it was a fundamental goal for us to create that Crysis experience and bring it to consoles, not the other way around. We’re not making a console game and bringing it to PC

Hell, even to add insult to injury... here is the actual interview of Nathan Camarillo.
http://games.on.net/article/11963/Video_Interview_Crysis_2
Crysis 2, once and FOR ALL, was developed for PCs, then brought to the consoles AFTERWARDS. Not the other way around. Anyone who tries to deny it now, well, you just won't listen to reason. :P
newy:
Then do tell... Why does the PC version not support DX11 from the start ::) Sorry, I don't really believe Crytek anymore... They say that the PC is their most important platform but their actions don't prove that...

Oh, wow, Nathan Camarillo!! Everything he's saying must be true!! His word is shit now that we've seen how the PC release is. Hell, I was one of those people who were waiting until the PC release to comment on the whole console matter.

Eh, I don't know what you're trying to prove here, it only makes it worse that players have to manually go in and set the graphics settings the way they want it. I still don't believe many of them work even though a lot of people are using them. Actually, some of the tweaks were available in the multiplayer demo, but for some reason Crytek decided to remove them.
How about playing the PC version before trying to defend Crytek?

I don't know why DX11 is not supported in the game (yet). What I do know is that neither consoles have DX10 either. You know how I know this? DX10 was released November 20th, 2006. PS3 was released November 11th, 2006 while the Xbox 360 was released a whole year before both of them. So this whole argument about "OMG, since it can't run DX11, it HAS to be a console port." Well, if it was a console port, it wouldn't even run in DX10, now would it? Sadly, for your argument's sake, it does run in DX10 while the consoles run on DX9 (well, I don't know what the PS3 runs, but probably something similar to openGL or something).

Sooo... we're suppose to believe you? Have you run the game yet on your PC and what is your PC specs?

What I'm trying to prove is that PC gaming is dead and/or dying. Yet game developers are trying their damn hardest to make games for the PC and well, make money off of it. So denying the words of an executive producer is fine, but that guy is there to make money off a game that he made. People steal that game very easily on PC to try and "see if it runs well" before they buy it. If it runs well before they buy it, what incentive is there to buy it at all then? I'm not saying that you personally are to blame, but it's ten times easier to steal a PC game than it is to mod a PS3/Xbox 360 and then burn the DVDs/Blu-rays or run the games off an external drive. Making a console game is easier because it's all one or two sets of hardware you have to develop for. PC's is a little harder with the combination of Intel, AMD, ATI, and Nvidia hardware that would be able to run the game. Denying the words of someone who made the game just makes you look like a hater, just for the simple fact of being a hater. The game looks and runs best on PCs, yet you still think that it's a console port. Denial is denial.
Tatsujin:
Core 2 Quad Q9550 2.83Ghz 12 MB Cache
8 Gigs of RAM DDR2 G.Skill DC supported
2x GTX 560 Ti Superclocked
P5N-D Asus Mobo
Razer Naga and Razer ... whatever keyboard.
Will be testing this tonight after this raid. I just downloaded the game so I'll install it later and get back on how good it looks on PC.
Set on Hardcore graphics, 1920x1080 with Vsync enabled at Full Screen, running over 50 and clocking at 60 FPS (with Vsync of course). I don't think they're going to allow you to adjust the game's graphics yet until DX11 comes out. It does look very well on PC and it can look much better with DX11.
