But no seriously, you should probably upgrade.



Cevat Yerli, founder and CEO of Crytek, is no stranger to humour or the state of his popular franchise Crysis.

When quizzed by AusGamers about what will be done to use Crytek 3 for the benefit of PC gamers, Yerli responded amusingly, “You know the joke right? The ‘Can it run Crysis?’ question. So we will definitely make sure that Crysis 3 will resurrect the question again ‘Can it run Crysis 3?’ and we will melt the PCs down.”

On a more serious note, though, that’s exactly what they intend to do. Yerli continued, saying, “Honestly, we will push the PCs to its limit… to its boundaries. The idea is that PCs will be next-gen gaming, consoles will be current-gen maximising it.

“We can’t deliver next-gen perse on current-gen; we already did that with Crysis 2, you know. So it’s going to be maximising the current generation on consoles, and giving you a glimpse of next-gen – or what it means in a visual, and a simulation, and a richness of a world – on a PC.”

Regardless of whether it’ll warrant an upgrade or not, Crysis 3 should be a treat for PC gamers.
