Crysis developer Crytek has announced that the game’s boundary pushing sequel Crysis 2 will bring unparalleled visual quality to Sony’s PlayStation 3 upon launch later this year.

Although the console boasts a comprehensive list of graphically impressive titles, Crysis 2’s lead PS3 designer Michael Glück has told Now Gamer that he is confident the title will supersede those which have been released before it.

“With each generation of game titles on PS3, usually every 2 years, the games improve significantly in its quality, mostly showing off in graphics,”  said Glück.

“I think with Crysis 2 you will see the quality bar being set at a very high level that games will struggle to excel. We’re aiming to set a whole new benchmark with that game for all PS3 games.”

The developer also added that he does not see a large extent of further innovation Post Crysis 2.

“Still with an AAA title shipped on PS3, you get the chance to improve further, so the next game developed with CryEngine 3 after Crysis 2 on PS3 will not be worse and rather be more polished and have higher quality in all areas. However, it is unlikely to see a major improvement in graphics as we try to not cut any graphical feature and rather optimize it until it becomes feasible. So I expect more density of game elements, physic effect, more interaction, but the major graphics quality will not be significantly improved.”
