I was watching crysis 2 live at ign and It was the PC version because Cevat Yerli was doing an interview and he was explaining the game while they were showing live footage and it crashed to the Windows 7 desktop....haha and they acted like it was console footage. 

They got caught. Wondering how many other people did that.

The game does have pad support.
 
@bcooper56: Was there a viewable PC tower or 360 in the video?

Did they say "we are playing this on the 360"?  If not, it's just a bit if trickery on their part.  You can't go around demoing a game with a mouse and keyboard.  "

If what they were showing was always the pc version, it's equlivent to the first crysis on the cryengine 2 on low settings for textures. Someone tell yerli to turn that setting back to max, then again, we are downgraded to console level of textures for the first time ever from one of his game.

Maybe it was the Xbox Version running on a PC? Where do you think u develop an XBOX game?

no, i wouldn't want to, but i have a feeling that the PC version is going to get screwed somehow. the game getting screwed up somehow by a bad port, bad optimization, no dedicated servers, no console, no mod support. these are things that newer PC games have been screwed with.   pretty funny that it crashed. they should have made sure that it played.

On the Xbox 360, where else? "

Well, the game could have crashed for a variety of reasons unrelated specifically to the code. Device or system drivers, general issues with the file system or physical disk, etc. But in any case, they should have made sure their shit was pristine and ready to go before revealing it.

Games are developed on PC for Xbox 360? "

Baited and caught!  Maybe should have added a "/sarcasm" at the end of that. "

I always thought that games are typically developed using SDK's running on a PC, ported to a console, and then tested and refined before builds are released. I personally can't see how it would be feasible to develop a game solely using the target platform. Hell, the last two Linux apps I assisted in developing (as a non-content authority or subject matter expert) were actually developed within Windows.

" So does that mean the one they showed at the conference was also PC?  "

It really isn't unusual for a pc game to crash, much less an unreleased one, its rare on almost every game but it still happens, unfortunately for Crytek it happened during a live demo.

"Anyhow, after speaking to a friend of mine, he'd did a little researching after playing back Cevat Yerli's video with the crash to Win 7 desktop.

Here's the snapshot:

http://i597.photobucket.com/albums/tt54/DrR1pper/Crysis2crashtodesktop.jpg 

The second top icon called 'Xbox 360 Neighborhood' is a portal to play 360 games from the PC hard-drive on an xbox 360 developers kit for debugging purposes. Underneath the 'Xbox 360 Neighborhood' icon are 2 levels, 'CentralStation' and 'terminal', the two (live demo'd) levels we've been privy to thus far.


an example of an Xbox 360 developers kit.

So the levels were run on an xbox 360 with the developers kit (as the game is not complete) then streamed back into the PC for display.

So i was wrong and i guess the back-stage interviews were mistaking the developers debugging PC kit for the platformed demo(s) as the game isn't ready yet (most likely still being tweaked, debugged or updated). I guess they don't want people to know the game isn't ready yet by showing off a butt ugly (dev kit) 360 and a PC."
