Crytek talks New IP, Crysis to be a trilogy and Demo coming soon, Consoles and More

In an exclusive interview with Gamespot, the developers give new details on what Crytek is working on. He hints that, there is a pending announcement soon to be made which involves the unveiling of a new IP which might be possibly mutiplatform, Crysis demo....

[ps3FTW]

God i hope for Crysis comes to PS3 or 360.

[DaTrooF]

...

[BloodySinner]

The game will hit consoles eventually. After all, look who's publishing the game to begin with. :-P

[Time Lord]

It says NEW IP. so it cant be Crysis.

[djt23]

same here

[SonyFANBOY]

Crysis to Playstation 3. AWESOME!!

[Ri0tSquad]

He strongly hinted that Ps3 or 360 is not getting crysis because of its out dated low ram. :(

[m9105826]

The last thing the PS3 has is "outdated" RAM. XDR is cutting edge as far as memory goes. And remember... consoles DO NOT need as much RAM as PCs do.

[ofx360]

theres gonna be some major downgrades if it come to the consoles

[m9105826]

Let's be honest... there's going to be massive downgrades from what we've seen so far on most PCs too...

[Why_So_Serious]

nice maybe by the time the 3rd one comes out i'll have a pc powerful enough to play the 1st one

[riqued]

They already said they were doing something for the ps3, I hope it's a port!

[Kenshin_BATT0USAI]

Hopefully they say something about what the other thing they are doing is I really want to know.

[Crazyglues]

he talked about the memory problem and said that he needs 2g's of memory plus the streaming to get the crysis experience.

So I think it's a safe bet that it will not be coming to the console.

Memory is just too big a problem at this point. Like he said they could stream it but the game would have to be designed different.

So maybe we will get Crysis 2 but we are not getting part 1... sorry

[Zor]

The sony can take memory from the other components of the system, the memory of the ps3 is not just the ram, thats the icing on the top of the cake

[Demon1980]

Please....there are ways around RAM. Stop thinking that you know what you're talking about lmao. Though I am not saying that Crysis will be coming to consoles.

[Premonition]

Im pretty sure they can use the 7 SPU's for something, I remember a tech company who made a dev kit to make it so devs can stream textures on the SPU's rather then straight off of blu ray.

[deadeyes99]

*drools* such a cool game.

[Lord Anubis]

so they are working on something, I wonder if its a PS3 project since they have people researching technology for PS3.

[kishan420]

hurray
crysis is gone be trilogy
woooow
new ip from crysis maybe a non-fps
sure will be multi

[AIZEN SOZUKE]

when i look at games like GT5 and killzone along with many other games on ps3, this crytek developer is speaking Giraff sh1t son, i dont think he knows the machine that sony built and i also dont think hes seen the latest ps3 games, and the tech demos of the ps3, cause as of late, pc fans and 180 fans have been so bewildered by ps3 putting out graphics that were originally mistaken as cg, and turned out to be realtime, so this guy, carmack, and mark rein along with pc fans that say ps3 has a limitation, go and study ps3's blueprints, cause you really look dumb when you say stuff isnt realtime on ps3, and say its cg, but it turns out to be realtime, so please, this guy doesn really know a thing of what he says, God bless him

I agree

AIZEN SOZUKE - means SONY PS3 FANBOY!!!

[gEnKiE]

Listening to him talking about the memory issues makes you wish the consoles released with 1 gig of ram instead of 512 megs.....i know it would of been a little hard for the 360 because m$ fealt the need to release their console a year ahead of everybody else but sony should of really stepped up the ram before the ps3 release being that 1 gig of ram was a little cheaper then when the 360 release a year before. sure sony would of been out a little more money but just imagine what the developers would have to say to the memory issues of the ps3. their wouldnt be any. this whole console war would be ended for sure. but ohh well, we'll just have to stick with what we got..

[AIZEN SOZUKE]

as i said though, the memory statement about ps3 is totally 1 side without telling the other 3, if the memory statment was true, then surely ps3 wouldnt have GT5 graphics so fast, and so early in ps3s lifecycle, and killzone 2, the hardware of ps3 really if you look at e3 2005 it really has not a thing to do with the memory, the memory is small, but the ps3 is guaranteed to put out movie level graphics in realtime, and it already has, if you look at every e3 and ps3, and listen to idiots that say ps3 has any sort of limitation, i really dont see how you agree with that, the ps3 will never max out, and graphics will never stop, pc can have 15 gigs of memory on the gpu, but that still wouldnt seperate the ps3 from pc difference, since sony put the supercomputer in the ps3, and the abilities that rsx has that people skip over and just say that its only got 512 mb, and its a modified 7800 nvidia geforce gpu, believe that if you will, but if you watch e3 2005 sony press conference there is more things about the rsx that you dont know, and people overlook those things as i said, so i will let you keep listening to idiots say ps3 has a limitation, but sony will know it has no limit, and games will continue to plunge deeper into NEXT GEN, the only NEXT GEN and you will wonder what happened to that analogy of the 512 mb memory, surely if ps3 was based on memory, even motorstorm wouldnt have been possible, but that game wasnt even using cell for graphics help, but the reason that people dont get why rsx isnt even close to maxed out is because of the memory limitation that pc fans, and guys like this crytek developer, and mark rein, and also Carmack say that ps3 lacks memory, may be true, but they leave out the fact that the rsx was a 10 year development, a partnership to make a gpu that could integrate the Movie cutscene graphics with realtime, and make hollywood level movie graphics in realtime, and it seems as i said that the development worked, looking at GT5 and killzone, that far far exceeds the "memory limitation" and "ps3 limitation" that i heard no pc fan say anything about ps3 having a limitation at that time, and now all of a sudden they believe it does, well until your 2gb gpus beats my 512 mb gpu by the 3/4 margin in graphics defarentiation, the ps3 truly has no limitation at all, so who will be the next to see a limitation that sony and guerilla havent hit, along with GT5 developers, when they tell me theres a limitation, then i will agree with you, but obviously sony, ibm, toshiba, and nvidia, along with me and a few other people that know truely what ps3 is and can do, so you all may just need to keep quiet til then, cause ps3 aint maxin out for a LONG LONG LONG LONG LONG TIME

But use a paragraph before my eyes explode!

[Mario18]

I hate reading large number of sentences without being broken up into paragraphs.

AIZEN SAMA

[kishan420]

@ AIZEN SAMA
i knew u r a crysis lover
thing is u cant digest crysis is not coming ps3
guys like carmack crytek developer are engine developers
they know what they talk
they r not fanboys
by the way i didnt got ur logic
a maxed out 7800gtx will never able compete with 8800 series
7800 series is no where even near 8800 series (fact)

[Bloodmask]

There is no point trying to reason with AIZEN SOZUKE. He used to have another account under the name of Kevin/Huntersville. All he ever posts is that PS3 is a supercomputer and can do CG. Blah Blah.

And in regards to the article. I read a story before that Crytek was working on a 360/PS3 spinoff of Crysis that would be a different game but still in the Crysis Universe.

[AIZEN SOZUKE]

kishan, when rsx maxes out in 2200 the come back to me, but till then i really could care less about crysis comming to ps3, i never wanted that game on ps3, so why are you mad

AIZEN SAMA

[Mario18]

How can you not want a great PC game to come to the consoles??

AIZEN SAMA

[kishan420]

listen up here is the proper reason
7800gtx even maxed 2200
has 24 pipelines(check the ratio of vertical and shaders ratio)
chip is g70 (supports shaders model3.0) and 256 bit of memory bus
8800 128 shaeders(ratio is required)
gives stable framrates because of shaders
chipset is g80(shaders model) and 384 bit of memory bus
and many more like 16x anti aliasing ,etc list goes on
and chill out crysis is not coming ps3 coz it cant handle coz
not just u want it
i belive come back with proper knowledge
and i not mad at u and i am not a fanboy like u

[Chriswsm]

Fingers crossed for something creative and fun that is NOT a FPS as the market is flooded with quality FPS already and IMO FPS just doesnt work well on a console joypad.

Wow really went to town with the FPS's in one sentence....

[Maldread]

I think this whole ram issue can be dealt with. Consoles need less ram than a PC because the games are made specifically for them. They will probably have to downgrade it a bit from what the top spec PC`s will run it, but as he said, the game will be optimized so that it can run on weaker PC`s too, so i think it`s possible.

I just hope they take their time with the console versions if the decide to do one (or two i guess hehe), so that we don`t get the usual EA port. Crytek seems like great developers though and smart in their assessment of potential console difficulties, so i believe a Crysis-console version could turn out great.

Killzone 2 shows that Crysis could run great on consoles if you ask me.

[zonetrooper5]

Wow that flamebait is here, AIZEN SOZUKE is probaly kevin since he can't paragraph or spell properly. PC's have and always will beat the consoles. the PS3 and 360 were outdated the day they came out. Now stop being a fanboy and saying that your console is so powerful and godly.

[kornbeaner]

I'll Agree with you on the fact that a PS3 and 360 will never, ever, ever come close to a 3,000 dollar supercomputer in terms of overall graphics. But by the same token you have to admit that a 400 - 600 dollar computer will never, ever, ever come close to putting out graphics the way a PS3 or 360 can. Being a all around gamer I play my share of everything under the sun regardless of platform, I'll even play on a Cell phone if the game is addictive enough (Zuma anyone). I know game such as Crysis and even older titles such as F.E.A.R, That were develop for the P.C. first looked way better on the PC. When F.E.A.R. came out for the consoles it looked close but it wasn't the same. But the very fact that it looked as close as it did with half the ram that it took to run on a PC is truly amazing in my eyes.

The thing to remember even though the PC might get one or two games that just look Godly in appearance the price of $3,000 + is not something that I can freely afford. Look at games like Gears of War and Heavenly Sword, these game look freaking SWEET! now imagine the rig that will be needed to run these games the way they appear for the 360 and PS3. Later this year you will see that when Gears is released for PC. Don't look at the minimum, but at the recommended Specs to run. I'll bet anything it will take a lot more then what was put into the 360. PC are great and for certain Genre's for FPS, RTS, MMOrpg's they are Godly, but a PC will never match a console for more bang for your buck.

ROCKS!
