Crysis 3 getting exclusive “visual goodies” on high-end PCs

7 May 2012

After incurring the great wrath of the PC Master Race for failing to include important PC features in Crysis 2, such as bright copper kettles, warm woollen mittens, and brown paper packages tied up with strings, Crytek has promised to make everything okay again with Crysis 3.

“PC players, fundamentally only want Crysis to be on PC, right? And, you know, that’s kind of understandable when you consider how the original game – and even Crytek itself – started out,” Crytek’s Rasmus Højengaard told Spong.

“But, we’re definitely pushing this game a lot from a visual standpoint, and for sure there’s going to be visual goodies in it that you can only get if you have a super-high-end PC.

“At the same time, we want to ensure if you don’t have a super-high-end PC, the game will still look amazing. On top of that, we want to make sure the experience is not different from platform to platform.”

He didn’t actual say what those “visual goodies” would be, but whatever they are, you know some geek with sixty-four video cards stuffed into his custom built orbital computer array isn’t going to be happy.
