OK, Before you flame me, hear me out. First, they admit it isn't a sequel. Which is fine, but when you say it's "the same story from a different point of view", I hear "you're pretty much going to be playing the same game you already played". Second, I didn't like psycho from the first game, so why would i want to play as him in this one? I don't! He was a throw away character.  Finally, the only reason I see them puting this game out is so they can A) make more money and B) optimize it so atleast  people with normal computers can play it.  This whole thing just seems lazy... I'm sure it'll be pirated plenty and then crytek will blame that for weak sales and go to the consoles only. 

No one is excited because no one can play it.

well i think it is more like you'll be one of the few that will be able to play it, pc gaming rigs are pretty expensive now a days

I can play it, and no I'm not excited.

It will essentially be the same game Crysis was, and I beat Crysis. Why would I pay for the same game again.

By the time people can actually play Crysis at the settings that make it worth buying there is gonna be something better.

ITT: People without $150 graphics cards.

It's releated to the company EA - what do you expect?
Expect to see expansion packs soon...>.>

Maybe?

I'm not terribly excited either.
I played the demo of the first Crysis and aside from being very, very pretty nothing else really grabbed me about it.
I'm just going to assume this sequel/expansion/add-on/whateverthehecktheyarecallingit is more of the same.
