Crysis Warhead to be the companies last PC exclusive

Bale Fire | June 09, 2008 | News | PC Company 
Crytek have been a pioneer in the PC gaming industry, from Farcry to Crysis they have always delivered an outstanding gaming experience. But now in what could be a defining moment in the future of PC gaming, Engine business manager Harald Seeley from Crytek has announced that they will not create new PC exclusives and that all new franchises will be created with a cross platform strategy in mind
Next-Gen: Were Cevat's recent comments about "no more PC exclusives" for real, or just out of frustration felt at that moment?

Engine business manager Harald Seeley, Crytek: When Cevat said we would not create new PC exclusives, he was referring to any new projects we will start in the future. 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.

    Unless this game is much better than the last I probably won't pick it up, however I'm really hoping that Far Cry 2 doesn't feel like poorly ported console game on the PC, as many of these "cross-console" games end up.
