Crytek will bring their technical expertise for the first time to consoles and seeks to uphold their reputation of creating some of the most visually impressive games. The PC version will look better on machines able to take advantage of Crytek's new engine and DirectX 11. Crytek looks to surpass the original Crysis, which is still a benchmark of PC graphical performance in 2011.
