Oh what might PCs machinations be on this day? A missile with…something on it.

oh yes, I see, the Y on the warhead is the standout looking Y in the Crysis title. it was the game that made many people go off at how brilliantly a PC can process graphics

@ King Phantom:

Well to be fair, even the most powerful PC can’t play this game on full settings.

Then again, neither can many PCs.

Crysis, might not have much of a storyline but it sure does look purty

I don’t know if this is a stupid question but id like an answer…

If what Ina said is true and the most power full comps can’t run this game at its full settings what did they use to make it?

Loved the comic keep up the good work!

Crysis was probably the wrong item to show, even though the “warhead” connection was nice. It’s an important point, though that consoles are a fixed processing capability platform, whereas PCs are in a state of continuous upgrade. The 5 year cycle for consoles means they start out far advanced of affordable PCs (with the difference made up in licensing costs to 3rd parties) but that’s IT for the next 5 years, as the PC market continues to release new hardware. It’s a lot more complex than just referencing one game, so I can see why this was chosen as a simpler illustration.

Wali: Remember that, once upon a time, Unreal Tournament 2 was hailed as the pinnacle in graphical capabilities for a PC. PC’s have the advantage of constantly evolving hardware. As months pass, The 360 and PS3 will fall steadily behind, and with every new processor, every new graphics card, the PC advances.

It’s too bad Warhead has worse graphics than the original.
LOL optimization.

PC needs more presence.

I have a bad feeling It will be shot down by Digital Rights Management shortly after launch…

MK: Eventually… eventually… everyone will own a PC that can run Crysis. I mean, consider Half Life 2, when it came out, it had system requirements that forced many to go forth and upgrade. Same for Doom III, and many other titles.

Remember: PC’s march slowly forward, with developers always on the path to push the edge. Consoles advance by leaps, but always just behind the PC’s maximum capabilities.
