pc gaming will explode when hologram based gaming is introduced and consoles are way to shitty to deal with the processing power required
AceHigh:
You don't think that a new gen consoles can be made?

You assume that hologram technology (which is a very different thing from the 3D glasses, faux 3D of today) is going to advance enough over a few years to be viable. :o
Then you presume that when this happens, (which will be a lot longer than you seem to suggest) the new processors that make it possible cannot be built into newer generations of consoles (which is how the current gen of consoles have have been produced) ::)
IMHO
No form of consumer level affordable, genuine hologram technology will be available for at least 10 years. The technical reality and cost of implementation is just that big. The glasses generated stereoscopics will get better, but thats not a HOLOGRAM.
Consoles will continue to grow closer and closer to ultra high lvl PC performance (at least in terms of graphics, speed and sound) , especially as the 'integrated entertainment suite' concept starts to take off.

It might even affect the possibility of Crysis 3 or even some jobs at Crytek(The leaker's already screwed and I don't feel sorry for him though.)

Leak is awful for Crysis ........ hmmmm well i can guarantee they would have (probably) preferred it not to happen. But lets get real.
This is not so bad for Crytek because:-
1:
The leak will/has massively accelerated the viral hype train around Crysis II, garnering HUGE amounts of free publicity in media areas that Crytek would have had no way of influencing via conventional channels. One of the reasons many observers have speculated that this 'leak' maybe just be a clever publicity stunt.
As this has happened over month prior to release day Crytek have plenty of time to alter the authentication master key for launch.
2:
A leaked early beta ( i have played it, its very un-finished ) is not going to harm sales as the leak is not a even close to a fully featured final game. Look at it more as a freaky expanded alpha demo. Sales of Crysis II will be HUGE no doubt about that.
3:
Don't see how a leak impacts on choice of dev platform, a leak is a leak separate from platform considerations, would you expect Crytek to drop Xbox if a leak of that beta occurred? No of course not as the focus after a leak is internal security, asset management/security, and staff asset access, protocol compliance and staff vetting. Plenty of piracy on consoles too, especially now that PS3 has been cracked wide open.
4:
As yet there is still no news on exactly how the leak occurred, but i'd cool the righteous indignation as it could easily have been an accident....... or deliberate publicity stunt if your in the conspiracy theory camp.
--- Quote ---I strongly urge fans of the game, or people who would want to play it, to buy themselves a copy and do us all a favor in the long run. I myself still need to get Crysis 1, I only recently got a true gaming-capable PC and I lack the time to truly use it these days. But if I like it, I'll buy Crysis 2 for sure.

hmmmmm from what i have seen ( only played leak a little just for a look see ) the game has been cut down a little, suit controls have been streamlined, fewer suit modes, new visor mode, and IIRC going prone is gone now. Many of these differences could be aspects of the leak build not indicative of the final game ....... check the official demo.
EDIT newy: Don't doublepost. Use the Modify button...

your assumptions of holographic tech are just that. With as poorly received as 3d tech is dont be surprised if in the next 10 years you start to see holographic tech on the consumer market. I wouldnt be shocked to see holographic things in functional format for people to use in like 15 years where its either part of the video cards or like the physx cards were when they first came out a couple hundred bucks extra for a holo card
