Crysis Sequel Announced, Still PC Only

EA and Crytek have announced a sequel to Crysis , one of the highest rated games of last year. Unfortunately, it seems that still only PC users will be able to celebrate the good news. "In Crysis Warhead, players will don the Nanosuit of Sergeant Sykes, also known as 'Psycho', one of the most memorable characters from Crysis. More brash and aggressive than his Delta Force squadmate Nomad, players will experience Psycho's parallel story during the events of the original game, finding that life on the other side of the island is even more intense and explosive than they ever could have imagined. Luckily, Psycho's Nanosuit is just as capable and he's equipped with an even bigger arsenal of fully customizable weapons and new vehicles, giving players access to the tools they need to dominate any situation. Aside from this new, exciting single player campaign, Crysis Warhead will also feature new multiplayer content."

PC only?

[clarkn0va]

Is this article telling me that this game will only run on personal computers? Because I spend my evenings on the mainframe and PC-only games are of no use to me, unless I can get some kind of emulation working.[/sarcasm]

Okay, seriously, can we drop the "pc" nomenclature? If you're talking about a specific cpu architecture then say "x86 only" or "68k only" or "alpha only". If, on the other hand, you're referring to a software platform, then say "DirectX 10" or "OpenBSD".

To say that a piece of software is "PC only" is to say nothing at all, except maybe "I subscribe to marketeer-perpetuated archaisms".

Or you could just not be a douche and say "PC" like everyone else. I didn't realise that not saying "PC" made me a douche, but thanks for the insight.

Not saying "PC only" is saying I'm so insecure about myself that I need to arbitrarily use my own terminology because whats popular does not make me stand out. Saying "Windows" when I mean Windows is drawing attention to myself?

And if I'm feeling insecure you have my assurance I won't reduce myself to ad hominem attacks in a public forum.
