Actually, I believe that, here, for a change, the console versions are ports of the PC version. I could be wrong though.

this is what i had heard also however that doesnt mean the PC version isnt designed with this in mind

I seem to remember the FBI getting involved when Half-Life 2 was leaked.
AceHigh:
FBI?
Ok, people, just to clarify, Crytek is a German company with it's headquarters in Frankfurt, with subsidiaries in UK, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Hungary and S.Korea. There won't be any FBI or US based lobbying, if anything it will be Kriminalpolizei.
Speaking of that, being based in Germany makes the game even more crap, due to German censorship. Many people are familiar with US censor mentality: where violence and gore is ok, but if you get a glimpse of a nipple, then there is a congressional hearing. Well, imagine that German censor mentality is exactly the opposite and thus makes some draconian guidelines for violence and gore censoring. Ever wonder why in Crysis your bullets interacted with everything at such a level, that you could actually chop down the trees, but as soon as enemy was dead, his body became "ethereal" and you could not interact with it in any way? Thanks to the German censorship laws, messing around with a corpse in a computer game is illegal.
So we get a highly detailed graphics engine with realistic physics, but corpses will be less realistic than corpses from FPS made in the nineties.
EDIT:
Ok, nevermind guys, it slipped my mind that Crytek is whoring themselves out to EA. EA being the nazi they are will probably use all their lobby power persecute people in US.

Ace - see that's one nice thing about PC gaming in the US - no government censorship. Valve isn't going to allow pornographic games anytime soon, but games like the witcher and amnesia, which would get AO ratings from the ESRB, can forgo the rating process and still enjoy widespread distribution through Steam.

Not yet. Governator is working on it and other states are waiting for him to win.
