Ya, I know people don't except it to look like Crysis which is just plain crazy in terms of graphics, and ya this is the part where we hope they optimize it for the PC, :D.
But the thing is, Crysis is one of the games that shows the consoles disadvantages while it shows the PC's advantage. You see, games on consoles are limited by the hardware, right from it's launch games are limited by the hardware, at the start the games won't be, but eventually during the middle to last years, the games will have to start becoming more and more optimized. However, the PC games are only limited by the hardware that runs them.
With consoles games, people have to program in mind for the hardware limitations, while PC games, people have to program in mind for the hardware needed to run it. Such as Halo 3, they developed their engine by the xbox360's hardware. But Crysis on the other hand developed its engine to what they wanted to do with it, such as an entire island being the game area, and with fully destruble enivorments, they were only limited to the hardware capable of running it. So PC game developers can program things not able to be run on today's hardware but on future hardware.
Hope this didn't confuse you.
