Crysis 2
A lot of the dichotomy that exists between PC gaming and console gaming exists because of console hardware’s inability to upgrade as time goes by. Though this may have been solved with the introduction of mid-generation upgrades like the PlayStation 4 Pro and soon to be released Xbox One X, a line still divides each method of enjoying the medium.
According to Crytek boss Cervat Yerli, PC gaming will always be ahead of console gaming by at least one generation and is one of the reasons why Crysis 2 was held back quality-wise on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. What’s more is that the studio believed that it wasn’t the only company who faced this dilemma, stating, “we believe the quality of the games beyond Crysis 2 and other CryEngine developments will be pretty much limited to what their creative expressions is, what the content is.”
Whether or not this statement rings true in this generation of consoles is dubious at best, though fans will often find a lot of belligerents on either side of the fence.
