Crysis 3 PC Focus
- by: MyCrysis.com Crysis Forums

Here is a petition towards Crytek to give an entirety of PC focus during and after development of the game.
We the undersigned, ask you (Crytek) to change the focus of the Crysis franchise back to the PC platform with Crysis 3.
The community of PC gamers has been largely displeased with how Crysis 2 turned out on the PC platform, riddled with bugs, lacking innovation, and a loss of real focus on the franchise's roots of open and innovative environments and gameplay.
Your first title, Far Cry, brought out your reputation as a respectable PC developer. In 2007 with the coming of Crysis and later Crysis Warhead, your company continued to gain the total respect of the PC community and we rewarded you with our hard earned cash. While Crysis did have piracy problems early in its launch, the title turned out to be one of the best selling titles of all time with over 3.5 million physical retail copies sold. The game was innovative, brave, and daring and it brought a refreshing change to the FPS environment.
Crysis 2 has managed to shatter the reputation that Crytek spent the last 7 years building up. No amount of patching or additional content (whether that be graphical content or not) to that title will manage to regain the respect of the PC platform. Therefore, we ask you to "return to your platform roots" with a Crysis 3 title focused back to the PC platform. The release of Crysis 2 has seen much less than stellar sales (especially a measly ~300,000 total sales from the PC) in response to the attitude that you have shown to us. Many things that are in Crysis 2, we would consider as "consolized", which includes DX9 only at launch, no x64 support, a less than innovative multiplayer, and a corridor scripted type Singleplayer with scarcely anything in relation to the original Crysis story. The "big budget" and "PC focus" that your company attempted to portray throughout the development of Crysis 2 has failed to brush off on the PC platform's happiness - the majority of us are happier with the lower budgeted and innovative Crysis 1 and Warhead. We ask you to either make Crysis 3 a PC exclusive title once again, or at the very least, bring the majority of the focus back to this platform where your true fans are waiting for a true sequel.
The PC platform has the huge benefit of something that was not big back when Crysis was released - digital distribution. This revolutionary way of sales has rejuvenated the PC platform and more importantly for you - the sales margin of PC digital distribution sales is astronomically higher than retail sales. It has been calculated that the average PC Digital Distributed sale gives 3 times the amount of money over a single Console retail sale. Both consoler's and PC players want many of the same gameplay designed features and open environment that Crysis 1 had... Designing on the PC first and and porting to the consoles will save lots of development costs. Additionally, don't sacrifice gameplay for graphics, especially when it comes to the consoles. Many of the console players simply do not care for graphical fidelity which is why they play on 5 - 6 year old machines.
All of the benefits of the PC platform are still open to you Crytek - bring back your reputation with Crysis 3 and these benefits will allow your company to reap the rewards once again from the PC platform.
- Thank you for taking the time out of your day to read and consider this proposition, and we wish you luck on future game development!
