Crysis not necessarily coming to the PS3, or 360 for that matter

14
Gamezine: 'Crytek's admission that they are moving to console development excites Crysis fans, but the game isn't necessarily on the way to the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

We reported on comments from Crytek CEO Cevat Yerli that their acquisition of Free Radical would speed up their move to consoles:

"This step will certainly bring us forward a bit faster to achieve our goal to develop high quality games on consoles."

He further commented that they'd of course be utilising their CryENGINE 2:

"[Free Radical] have a proven track record in developing great games on consoles and PC. This combined with our own CryENGINE technology and a very experienced team is more than perfect for us."

A couple of websites took this to mean that Crysis, the CryENGINE 2's show piece, would be coming to the PlayStation 3.'

1.1 - Don't worry, it's coming to PS3
With 1000+ hours extra content and exclusive DLC. It would only cause the 12 XBOX360s out there in North America to RRoD. EVERY 360 RRoDs, right?

Game engine is almost to powerful for this generation of consoles I say. It barely runs well on PC now. Lots of stripping to be done to the game for it to run on PS3 or X360. Unless Crytek learns how to optimize a game engine all of a sudden. Its still possible PS3 and X360 will get the next Crysis game. As far as the new generation around the corner though. That would be more likely to handle it.

What's the obsession over Crysis? I haven't nearly a powerful enough computer to even consider buying it, but from what I get, it is not much more than a graphics and physics benchmark.

It would be fun to see if they could get it to work well on consoles though.

There's a reason it was called the Best shooter of 2007 over Halo 3 by big publications like Gamespot: It has the gameplay to match its stunning visuals.

No,

a lot of websites were only referring to the fact that Games Radar reported a Crysis 1.5 coming to the PS3 but not the 360 because of "technical problems"

This is a classic case of "rewriting history".
