Crysis 2 “will have a PC version that’s a PC game”
Crytek CEO Cevat Yerli is keen to keep PC gamers onside with the release of Crysis 2 now imminent, promising a proper PC gaming experience from this particular platform.  That said, the poor guy sounds understandably exasperated by the constant criticism that comes from PC gamers.

A set of unofficial Crysis 2 minimum specs appeared recently, revealing that Crysis 2 won’t need a monster PC to run. Yerli says this is a deliberate move after taking criticism for the high system requirements of the first game. “I’m frustrated about this. We said it was a game that was pushing boundaries, which would stay relevant in the future, and all we got was a backlash: “This game doesn’t run!” Then games came out for the same hardware that weren’t running at all, or were choppy and whatnot despite low-res graphics. Yet we were the bad guys for pushing PC graphics, making it too expensive to play.”

“Now, it’s more like we want to give you the best PC experience with current high-end equipment. So if you bought the last high-end graphics card, you’re going to get a blast out of it. Likewise, the minimum-spec experience will be of a far higher quality than Crysis was.”

PC Gamer has more details of Mr. Yerli's comments.
