With all the speculation that has been gathering around Sony's PS4 and Microsoft's Xbox 720, many developers are beginning to provide opinions on these next generation systems. In regards to this, Crytek recently commented on their expectations for the Xbox 720 and PS4.

As reported by OXCGN on Feb. 7, Crysis 3 Producer Mike Read states that the studio wants more power first and foremost. Crytek is one studio that has been known to push the boundaries of current hardware in order to take current systems to their limits. “I think that whatever they end up delivering there are a lot of things that we want, and as you said more power is originally at the core of what we want. We want to be able to deliver a similar experience graphically to console gamers as much as we do in pushing the PC.”

“Being a producer, I deal with all different people, so I’m sure talking to the Art guy they’ll be like “Yeah, we want more graphics!” talking to the Level Design team, “We want more processing power!” and the Technical guys they want a little bit of everything.”

...Crytek doesn't get that processing power, while it matters, isn't everything.

The way I see is, if your going to make a super powerful system its gonna cost your consumers $$. But if you want to make your console stand out you need to do something different. Like Nintendo.

There needs to be a balance between power and innovation with consoles. Nintendo has done that with the Wii U.

That's what the people who want a ps4 and 720 want. More power.
