Crysis Averted: Rumors of a 360 version of the upcoming shooter are dead again

There is no joy in Mudville. EA has officially stated that Crysis is not planned for Xbox 360.

In a recent installment of its weekly podcast, 1Up Yours, gaming website 1Up revealed that an Xbox 360 version of Crysis was currently under development. In the podcast, editors claimed that during CES they had spoken to developers at Crytek who asserted that the Xbox 360 version of the game would be completely different from its PC counterpart due to the 360's lack of Direct X10 support.

However, an Electronics Arts rep disputed the claims. Apparently, there was some sort of miscommunication which led the editors to assume that a 360 version of the upcoming shooter was currently in development. EA's spokesman confirmed that this was nowhere near an official announcement and expected a retraction to be forthcoming.

"Developer Crytek is said to be in the works for a next-gen console game (spoken of so far only as a PS3 project), but depending on what becomes of that project and the denial from EA that Crysis despite this chat with Crytek about 360, it appears to be that the Crytek console project will probably be a different game from Crysis."

Where did this entire load of garbage appear in the article? Oh...I See... you had to throw a little PS3 propaganda in , I mean union rules are union rules , am I right?

On topic... You can look a the original post on the rumor this game is coming to the 360 , I said jack about it.

I have little respect for a company that is essentially a PC fanboy , like Crytek . that to me is pathetic. People that will buy a new $3000 dollar gaming rig or put an extra $600 into thier existing PC to play this game , deserve this game , if you know what I mean.

"EA's spokesman confirmed that this was nowhere near an official announcement and expected a retraction to be forthcoming. "

This statement basically CONFIRMS a 360 port. EA just announced that it was "nowhere near an official announcement." The game exists, is being worked on, but EA has yet to release the information, thus PR is pissed.

Or let me guess, you read the headline but didn't take the time to actually read the article?

Did you by chance click the article link. No! You wouldn't have asked such a stupid question and then act like I added my own thoughts to the post. It is a cut and paste job, nothing else. I had originally only selected the 360 box for the news until I read the last part of the article where crytek has confirmed work on a PS3 game. So, if the article hadn't mentioned the PS3, news would have only been posted under 360. Got it?

I also got from this article that a different game by the company would come out on the 360.

I am just as disappointed as you that the game won't come out on the consoles. I don't and won't have a good enough setup to run the PC version.

Get your facts straight before you start flaming people.
