On Crysis Warhead/Crysis Performance [Jun 19, 2008, 09:44 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
The
German PC Games Website has a tidbit from an interview with Crytek boss
Cevat Yerli that will appear in an upcoming issue of their print counterpart.
The story is in German, but a translation tells us Yerli is offering
reassurances to gamers that Crysis Warhead should be able to achieve
frame rates of 30-35 FPS in "high" detail mode on a PC that costs around 400
Euros. He also says changes may possibly be retrofitted into Crysis in a
future patch to offer similar performance improvements, but that this will be a
timely process, as the optimizations involved are complex, so if they revisit
Crysis performance, this will be after development of Crysis Warhead is
complete.
Given the weakness of the dollar, is that not equivalent to a $6,000.00 system?!? 
Joking, joking...
It's a nice promise, though a little empty. "We totally promise you can run the game this time so go buy the new one! Hey, if you all go out and buy enough, we may even optimize the first one!"
Also, with it coming out a year later, this could very well be the same exact engine, but using performance stats for current hardware.
Either way, do not just tell people to buy the game, but give them a demo to see the improvements. Also, as already asked, how much of a "game" is this? I actually liked most of Crysis, but I'm not sure if I would want to play a small expansion pack and there are some serious pacing and gameplay issues in Crysis that Crytek still has yet to answer (alien ship, crap snow portion, end segment that threw out all stealth aspects, another terrible ending, etc.)
For a developer that hates PC gaming, how strange this just magically appearing.
Waiting for the demo,
Ray
