Crytek promises best AI ever seen in Crysis 2

Unfortunately the graphics won't be a major leap forwards thanks to the console kids so they're using the AI for publicity.
 
I dont think so. There have been some games that looked ok on the consoles and hundreds on the pc. They should not limit the game just because of one half of the market. Games like Fallout 3 lost out to the whole console is better craze

I would rather have a game with mediocre looks and great AI than a game that looks amazing, kills your PC, and the lack of competent AI makes the make dull, dull, dull.

Also the gaming community keep treading water on certain topics, one being that consoles are primarily for kids and PC's are for the cultured gamer. Right now if the gaming scene is going down it has little to do with the platform itself and rather with a publishers / developers producing what people want (even though I find most of it soulless). As long as we (you) keep buying these titles little will change until the next fad arrives.

I still feel the best AI I have encountered in a FPS is from Half-Life 1. Maybe I am viewing it through rose-tinted glasses, but man when I first played that game the AI was fantastic. Let's see what they do with Crysis 2. Fantastic AI means little if there is little synergy with the gameplay / environment.

I thought unreal 1 had the best AI and it was the best looking game out there at the time.
 
Hmmmm, how many times have we heard a claim like this, and the AI has actually turned out to be merely average. I'm hoping it won't be the case in C2, but the skeptic in me says it's the most likely outcome.
