Makers of popular first person shooter Crysis 2 now say the more “entry-level” approach they took with the sequel backfired. If you recall, Crytek made headlines when it was revealed Crysis 2 would only use Direct X 9 — a technology that is years old — instead of the much new and graphically impressive DirectX 11. To please hardcore PC gamers, Crysis eventually acknowledged a DirectX 11 patch that would bring the much needed graphics boost to those seeking the latest visuals.

While we can understand Crytek’s attempt to appeal to a broader audience as they dipped their toes in the console scene, alienating their most loyal group of gamers was a poor choice in our opinion. At least Crytek is finally making it right.

Look for the free Crysis 2 1.9 update on July 27th.
