Rumorang: Crysis '1.5' to PS3, not Xbox 360

The glazed look of awe and determination on that last girl reaffirms that gamer chicks are hawt.

Ok. I stretch, but not by much!

First off since it is direct X based and MS has given the development tools (XNA Studio) to port games from PC to 360 and vice-versa I'll take it with a grain of salt. We already know the engine is for both consoles. So technical reasons are bullshit. We shall see what happens.

Hmmmmm. I've been playing the shit out of UT3 on my PS3 and I love it. I think it looks amazing. I know there's a better version of it on the market and working within the gaming industry is begging me to see it but I'm torn whether or not to spend $5000AU on a PC to run it at best frame rates and the platter of equally important visual offerings (or so I hear/read) Now Cryengine will be deving for consoles? Hmmmmmmm, I'd like to say I don't care and that I'm entirely into games for the fun of playing them but I can't. I do like to look at every intricate detail and I do study the animations and environment and physics effects. I've steered clear from playing PC Crysis as I'm.......well, pissed off that my 'future proof, consoles supposedly aren't capable of running games like it as good as other versions. But, with games like Uncharted being a first release for a new engine on a new console, that has to give hope that future Cryengine console adaptations may well keep up with some of the PC's out there. Not at the moment, but if dev's can work around the limitations then we might be playing some fancy shiny jungle FPSers with all the bells and whistles on the PS3 and 360. The financial future in gaming is in consoles, that I know. I live in Shanghai, China. There is a massive gaming community here, literally 100 times the size of Australia (where I am from) and XBOX isn't supported here at all. You still find consoles (chipped of course) on the 'not so black' market and can buy games for $1 on every corner. Hence it not being supported, there's no point as there's way too much piracy. I know you can chip 360’s but your immediately canned from live so that’s a massive deterrent. This is what is killing the PC market world wide. File sharing as well as expensive hardware and the list goes on. So my point here is PC gaming will always be there and PC's will continue to reign in power performance but will dev's bother spending years deving a game like Crysis on PC again if it doesn't sell as well as it would on a console. Or will devs spend that time making beautiful games for consoles that will surely sell millions if it is as good as Crysis in every aspect? People in China (1 example) can't afford to buy original games so shops don't bother selling them. That's billions of dollars PC gaming is losing. People in western countries can mostly afford them but why? When you can download it though file sharing. I don't at all participate or recommend this one bit but for every PC game sold, there would be hundreds copied. Crytek made Crysis with the statement 'PC gaming is not dead', in mind but the worlds most graphically powerful game sold poorly. Apart from the 3-4’000’000 pirated copies in Shanghai that some old dusty woman made a fortune from selling them for $1AU each from a box on the back of her bike. Crytek made $0.

Maybe the Cell processor wasn't all hype?

Seems that if they are having money problems, they'd best stay out of the console game... especially if the only machine they release it for is the PS3, with the lowest user base of the three.

I love my PS3, but unless EA manages to find some superprogramers from the year 2012 to do the port, I doubt it'll look nearly as good. Then again, I've heard that even with the best PC hardware it's tough to run DX10 max settings faster than 15FPS. Anyone who's running max settings on PC care to chime in?

I hope my puny PS3 cell processor can handle this behemoth of a game **rolls eyes**

It makes more sense to do a port to the 360... unless they don't wat to earn the double of money.

This crysis 1.5... it is like 2 cryses duct taped together?

The console version is wii exclusive............Well someone had to say it.

No, that would be Crysis 2

That'd be smart. Considering the game sold how many on PC? Pick the console with the lowest install base. I call bullshit.

I'm so disappointed there isn't more fanboyism being spit at us all right now. I came into this topic expecting a war to break out.

What's going on with the SDF?! Isn't this one of those moments you live for?

it would be good on on the ps3 .and fernandando stop being so you xbox balllickin bug

It wasn't going to be long for rumors like this to pop up.

FarCry 2 is suppose to come out on the consoles too is it not?

Most people think that Crytek is desperate to make more money because their sales were not high which is not always the case. They make lots of money licensing the engine to other developers.

Although Crytek must be bummed out about the sales, they were hoping to get close to the sales of FarCry (which sold a lot btw). I think we will see Crysis coming out on the 360 and the PS3 in the near future, but don't expect to receive the same level of detail, motion blur, or any other fancy effects.

^ Some one above mentioned that its not hard coding over a PC game to a console, well its extremely difficult. The PS3 and X360 development code is entirely different from one another and from the PC. It takes a very long time, and a lot of man hours to do the transition. Poor transitions results in poor performance. I won't expect Crysis on a console until '09.

Actually Curtis, it would cost alot to port to the PS3. The hardware is NOTHING like a PC. 360 is a different story. Why do think all the ports to PS3 get delayed? Cause it's a pain to develop on and it's nothing like a PC or 360.
