Crytek go multi-platform
Warhead is last PC exclusive
It appears that those rumours about Crysis disappointing as a PC exclusive from a sales perspective could be true, developer Crytek mooting a multi-platform future.
Stand-alone title Crysis Warhead will apparently be the developer's last PC-only title, business manager Harald Seeley explaining the situation to Next-Gen.
"When Cevat (Cevat Yerli, boss of Crytek) said we would not create new PC exclusives, he was referring to any new projects we will start in the future," offered Seeley. "Of course Warhead has been under development for quite some time, and we had no desire or intention to disappoint our loyal PC fans.
"So, after some careful consideration, we decided to continue our support for the PC Crysis franchise with this release. But yes, all new franchises we develop in the future will be created with a cross platform strategy in mind.
"Of course we’re also aware of the danger of making a game that is only designed for one particular audience and platform, and failing to meet the needs of the others. So any game we create will always offer something unique on each platform and will be carefully tuned to both the capabilities and strengths of that platform, as well as the intended audience."
Another nail in the coffin of PC gaming. What say you?

You know, you really should put the corpse INTO the coffin before you start nailing it shut. That's what I say.
No, clearly not another nail in a non-existent coffin.
SAINTS ROW 2 COMING TO PC AS WELL! NAIL IN THE COFFIN OF CONSOLE GAMING?!
*gasps* Mass Effect comes to PC. Must mean the consoles are dying!
*gasps again* GTAIV inevitably comes to PC! Wow, the consoles are completely doomed now!
What will the masses do with all those now defunct boxes sitting next to their HD-Ready tele's?
For the love of god, stop bandwagon jumping and get some perspective.
Oh god. Will you shut up about the Death of PC gaming. It's getting old, boring and tiresome. Yes, some people will yell about consoles, but that is because they have to yell about them otherwise the wouldn't be sold. No one, until a few weeks ago, were yelling about the PC.
Go talk to Valve and see their view on things. Or how about Blizzard, or even Relic. Yes, these guys are PC developers who's games are light years ahead of anything, and I do mean anything, that comes out on consoles. Also, have a look at some of the recent games that have come out for PC and Consoles. When compared, the PC versions are superior in everyway.
When PC gaming dies, console gaming will die along with it. After all, what platform do ALL games work on? That would be the PC since you have to develop on it before it is dumbed down and ported to the consoles.
"PC gaming is dead!!!" - That's "unbiased professional videogaming journalism" for you, I guess.
How about writing an article instead of riddling it with your opinoin?
