One can only hope.

The GDC06 Tech demo for the original crysis was much more impressive than this imo.

No.

Look at the first CoD. Infinity Ward made Call of Duty for the PC. It rocked. Treyarch made a spin-off called "Call of Duty:Finest Hour" for the consoles. It sucked (IMHO). Now lets look at CoD4. Infinity Ward made it for both the PC and the Consoles. It looks fantastic on both, it played well on both, and they only needed one team to do it.

I doubt that CryTech will get another game out before the Eighth Generation of Consoles. I'm going to make a prediction that those will be announced this summer, possibly at E3. They will probably be equal to today's high-end PC's. I say developing a game even for those consoles will give us breathtaking graphics that can beat Crysis (possibly). I think having the same team work on both the Console and the PC can give great results.

I wouldn't be suprised if they are already developing for the Xbox 6π or the PS4.

And to say "errrr it looks like cry engine 2" is just fucking stupid. Cry Engine 2 is probably the most amazing looking graphics engine anway, so...

What they were obviosuly showing was the console visuals, which viewed in a comparative basis, those visuals are amazing.

If this is really rendered real-time on consoles, then it is fantastic- my old computer, which had a comparative performance level, suffered trying to play Crysis at the lowest detail setting.

But it's a step down from Cryengine 2 overall and has a fairly misleading name. Many of the shaders have been removed or weakened, and it tends itself to look like an Unreal clone at times.

Everyone's upset by the lack of improvement. CyEngine 2 was simply so powerful that the only thing that Crytek could have done was improve memory handling and decrease the power of the engine.

Also, noting what Dane says, I think that Crytek is going to be working on a more fun game. Crysis and Warhead were only made to show off the visuals CryEngine 3 had. A marketing technique to developers if you will.

Now with Cryengine 3 coming out with more possibilities for consoles, CryTek is using that marketing to sell their new engine to developers- In the near future, look to see what engine companies that develop games like "Gun" and "Halo" are using. (not saying bungie will use CryEngine 2 or 3 or anything but check the box on the next Halo game after Recon comes out)

Now note, that the next installment of Crysis or game made by Crytek will greatly have the Fun factor improved.

after having watched the HD download...im starting to like this tech demo, thats all it is at the moment a demo of what the tech can currently do, it raises more interest than that onlive thing in the thread in tech discussion.
