Crytek Wants 8GB of RAM in Next-Gen Consoles

Cause they created a game that was a benchmark on the PC and another game that looks f*cking fantastic on everything and they think they should be able to ask for more cause everyone is paying them a bunch of attention and kudos right now. But considering the PS3 & XBox have been out for quite a while now, it probably goes without saying that the next gen consoles will have graphic capabilites and memory that are orders of magnitude above the current stuff.

Just an afterthought... While I haven't played either Cysis or Crysis 2 (yet), it seems that if a company is already thinking, in whatever capacity, of making a sequel to a game waaaaaay down the line, they should be more concerned with making sure the gameplay is awesome enough to keep people coming back. If the game is super duper awesome, people will play whether or not the game is the most cutting edge graphical acheivement ever.

Frankly, with the way memory has gotten so cheap in the past few years, if the next gens DON'T have 8G+ I'm going to be wondering what the f*ck the inevitable $400 price tags are paying for.

Honestly, Crysis 2 looks like crap next to Crysis and Crysis: Warhead. Blame porting Crysis 2 to consoles for the compromised graphics and physics.

Okay now you guys are getting out of hand. Crysis 2 looked amazing period end of story. Then the enhanced graphics update?! come on now. if you're gonna ***** about a game do it on the forums. This is a ****ing reasonable need for a company like crytek with constantly advancing technology why shouldn't they want 8 gigs of ram so just because you broke asses might not be able to afford something good for once doesn't mean anyone else wouldn't. Anyways dont you guys think 10 years for these same shitty consoles right now is enough to want a good enough upgrade to leave it in the dust?

Crysis 2 was generally a downgrade both technically and gameplay-wise. Its may be a great game, but its a Farcry from its former self. Pun Intended.

@danielrbischoff: Don't get me wrong, dude, I'm sure Crysis 2 is wicked, I can't wait to play it, and I'm sure I'm gonna get addicted when I do. Seriously, FPS with some awesome-mondo supersuit? Thats just f*cking awesome.

I'm only saying that Crytek should make sure its gameplay going to be wicked enough to keep people coming back 3 or 4 games into the series. That many reiterations of the same basic premise can get a tad stale, wicked though the idea may be.
