What we are hearing is there isn't some new groundbreaking tech coming with these new consoles. It's based on PC tech. Where as in the past when the consoles were released they had unique technology that at least made them the leader for a period of time. This time around, they are going to settle into a mid-range PC power wise. Which I'm ok with, just put a lot of ram in those, that is what has been limiting us.
I know there was some of this, but was there a lot?:
"With Crysis 2 we tried to make the spec available to as many PC gamers as possible. Then we heard back from the loudest group, which was enthusiast PC gamers, 'our PCs are running this game at 200 frames. What the hell? We should be running at 30 frames.'
"Crytek is probably the only company where you read forums and YouTube, people are excited if they can't run the game. I don't think it's like that at any other game company.
"Our graphics programmers said, 'we're going to give them a game they can't run any more."
