"Honestly, we will push the PC to its limit... to its boundaries," Cevat enthused. "The idea is that PCs will be next-gen gaming, consoles will be current-gen maximising it. We can’t deliver next-gen perse on current-gen; we already did that with Crysis 2, you know. So it’s going to be maximising the current generation on consoles, and giving you a glimpse of next-gen -- or what it means in a visual, and a simulation, and a richness of a world -- on a PC.
"We will definitely make sure that Crysis 3 will resurrect the question again “Can it run Crysis 3?” and we will melt PCs down," he said with a laugh.
The rest of our video interview (and transcript) talks about Crysis 3 level-design, dedicated servers for multiplayer and more.

Really appreciate Cervat & Rasmus' responses - they seem to explain everything properly and genuinely seem to be happy to answer them rather than just try to get it out of the way.

You can get what? 16gb of ram, a 2gb gpu and a 4gb quad core something for next to nothing
Crysis would have to be f***** special to max that s*** out

I suppose it all depends on what you are looking for when you judge quality. There is a LOT of foliage and stuff going on, but pure quality of light, global illumination, reflections and refractions is a different matter. I am a 3D artist in arch vis, so light quality and realism is a focus in my industry. I would say the Crysis engine isn't winning when compared to Unreal 4, or the amazing Square Enix luminous engine.

I just finished playing through Crysis 2 on my PC and f*** my tits it was awful. The story and gameplay were absolutely tedious. F*** all this BS that Cevat is spinning, unless Crysis 3 is at least as ENJOYABLE as Crysis 1 then who really gives a s*** if it melts my PC.
The engine with Crysis 2 did look quite good though, and UE4 is looking really truly AMAZING with its voxel based GI lighting that is visually so close to ray-tracing, just forget about it. Here's me hoping they can do something with Crysis 3 to make to be worth all this hype and not just another tired sequel.

I think many of us would rather have had s***tier crysis 2 graphics if the actual game was much better. I dont even try to max the graphics when i boot up new release games. I guess what my system can handle, play for a while and ensure im getting a smooth framerate and then im happy. I honestly CBF taking the time needed to carefully tweak graphic settings and maximise the game's performance cause i find many games get boring quick. I happily played thru rage despite its numerous graphical glitches because i enjoyed the shooter gameplay and happily overlooked the flawed visuals. And then there's minecraft, terraria and many other indie games where visuals dont even matter to me.

Personally I loved the first Crysis and I was ready to hate Crysis 2 but ended up liking it. It's compacted, but it's still so far beyond COD and BF3 in SP level design. Although speaking to friends who played it, I think there's an issue of. If you want, you can just play it straight through like a COD, guns blazing ect. How much more you get out of it, depends purely on your play style.
I don't get the complaints with the story. It's not hard to follow at all, personally I think the game was lots of fun, very polished and one of the better FPS SP games of recent years. I do kind of thing people unfairly hate on it. I've played it through three times, never got bored. I did get a Crysis experience playing it. But then as I said, it's basically if you want to or not. Game doesn't force it. I personally like running around, exploring, on the harder skill levels ect. I was a big Crysis fan. Probably played it through at least once a year since release.
On PC. Aren't PC's already next gen? What's this hint of next gen? Isn't everything we've seen basically suggested high end PCs are currently more powerful than next gen consoles? I know other things go into consoles so there isn't a direct comparison.. Why isn't this truly next gen? Unless it's being limited by console?
Anyway I look forward to this. Hopefully MP is better than C2 and isn't a soft blurred version of SP graphics this time. I like the fact it was asked about dedicated servers in Aus.

@Steve Farrelly yeah it does come down to the team and artists producing the game. But if their business is creating an engine (lets face it Crysis is just their marketing tool for their engine) then it should be created in such a way that it is relatively easy to get great visuals and smooth game-play from a team. Basically, what he is saying is that they can't even get smooth framerates on the current gen of tech. If the creators of the engine can't implement that, how can any outside developer using their engine hope to get smooth gameplay and decent graphics. That is why I am using MechWarrior as an example, because they seem to struggling as outsiders using Crytek's engine.

ChaosDreamer, you're missing the point that not every developer wants to or aims to deliver the best graphics the engine can deliver. The more detailed the meshes, the better the textures, the more effects, shaders and filters used. The more time and the more money it takes.
