Crytek’s CEO, Cevat Yerli, is back with a punch. Yerli has been constantly hyping the Crysis franchise, and PC gamers hated that guy for claiming that the first Crysis would be fully playable on max settings with a 8800GTX. Truth be told, Crysis was perfectly playable on an 8800GTX, provided you were running the game at a somehow low resolution and in DX9 mode.
But anyway, that’s the past. Today, most PC gamers are waiting for C3 that is said to stress modern-day PC systems like no other game. Let’s not forget that Crytek’s upcoming title will be DX11-only, something that frustrated a number of PC gamers. And today, Nowgamer revealed that Yerli believes that Crysis 3 PC will rival the graphical capabilities of next-gen consoles.
As Yerli said:
“That’s why we said [two years ago] that Crysis 3 is next-gen ready already. We did that without knowing the specs [of next-generation consoles], but it’s not going to be much more than what we have done so far. And it turns out we were pretty much right.”
Yerli also stated that Crysis 3 will max out consoles and that there is absolutely not even 1% left. Yerli explained that he was not talking from an artistic but rather from a tech point of view. Sure, gamers might not enjoy C3’s art style, however Yerli believes that the game will stress consoles like no other game.
Yerli added:
“No game will ever look technically better than Crysis 3 on these consoles, flat out. Most games are not even anywhere near Crysis 2 technically. I’m not talking about art style – art is subjective – but the pure fact of what we have been cramming in with Crysis 2 on Xbox [360] and PlayStation [3], I’ve yet to see a game do that still today.”
Yerli went even further and stated that he’d accept a ‘challenge’ battle against Gears and Halo.
Crysis 3 is currently planned for a February 22nd release on PC, X360 and PS3!
