Who said Crysis couldn't be done on consoles?

I stated months ago that Crysis COULD be done on consoles and I got "owned" by a bunch of folks claiming that Crysis as we know it, could never run on the Xbox 360 or PS3. Guess some folks don't know as much as they think they do....

"In an in-depth look at CryEngine 3 (the latest iteration of Crytek's incredible tech) in this month's Edge magazine, Mark Atkinson, Crytek's director of technology, has plenty to say about the hugely promising console versions of the engine. "Everyone said we couldn't do this on a console," he said to Edge, "We did it." Claiming the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of CryEngine 3 are "equivalent to medium- to high-spec PC settings" and coming complete with all the dynamic scenery and destructability from its big brother, we have high hopes for the first games to use this beast."

The environments are not as big and CryEngine 3 is a pathetic engine on consoles when compared to CryEngine 2. Of course, they can make a watered-down port run. I don't think anyone denied that.

1. Consoles lack the ram necessary to run Crysis as it currently is on PC.

2. Cry Engine 3 looks good, don't get me wrong. I personally want to see something other than a watered down version of it though. In other words, wait till you see the PC iteration of the engine. Crytek already said it'll blow away the other iterations.

3. Crysis isn't on consoles...get over it. How long does this have to be pointed out?

maybe you missed the video...where it was pretty clear that the console versions werent even close to the PC versions.

or do you not remember this.

Consoles lack a lot of things to run Crysis, just because a form of Cryengine is on consoles doesn't mean Crysis is coming to consoles or that the games that do use it will be very good.

The more I read that quote the more I'm convinced that they flat-out told you that Crysis as it is on PC cannot be done on consoles. I find it hilarious that you don't see this.

crysis can run on cosoles and the "downgrade" wouldnt be all the noticable if crytek did a really good job porting it.

@-snorlax-: Learn technology please. They've demonstrated themselves that it cannot be done. If it could, they would've ported it.

CryEngine 3 tech demo =/= Crysis.

What's sad is we have been explaining the memory issue since 2007 and console users STILL don't get it.

So why would you bother playing a watered-down port when you can buy a PC that maxes Crysis at medium resolution for so cheap now; especially, when the new AMD CPUs come out and the DX11 cards which will make past CPUs and graphics cards that max Crysis a lot cheaper.

Fine. If by "port well" you meant remove half the map and make a lot of the rest uninteractable then sure, it can be done. Easily.

A port can always be done. They could put it on the Wii if they wanted to. Thing is, it wouldn't be Crysis as we know it. ;)

It wouldn't run anywhere near 100% like on the PC. It would be EXTREMELY watered down on PS3/360/or Wii. Anyone who played both FarCry on PC and then Farcry Instincts on the Xbox will know what i'm talking about. Two completely different games.

a console port of Crysis would basically make it a linear shooter with "levels" and no backtracking. SOUNDS AWESOME already heading over to EBgames to preorder mine........

Well as valid as that is, it's pointless in this thread. Crysis as it is can't be done on a console.

I'm still looking foreward to my anual bonus so I can get a proper gaming rig. After that the 360 will be useless, the Wii will be as useless as always and the PS3 will be a glorified Blu-Ray player with a few must-have exclusives.

Although the graphics can be downgraded the big issue is not because of the graphics but because of the scale of the levels. Everything in Crysis can be inerative from 1000 feet away and consoles just don't have enough power to handle all that physics.

PC Play:You confirmed that it's impossible to make Crysis run on an console, but yet there are constant rumors that it's nearly inevitable. Can you finally give us, our readers, and the industry the final answer on that matter? Is Crysis going to be ported to a console?

Cevat Yerli: Crysis as we have seen is impossible. Crysis would have to be largely changed to bring it to Xbox 360 or Playstation 3. Crysis is designed to be PC Exclusive. Our internal focus is not linked to bring Crysis to consoles.

I assume those pics are with mods? That looks amazing,

The CEO of Crytek talking about the Crysis console problem in 2007.

The CEO of Crytek talking about the Crysis console problem in 2009.

How long until this sinks in?

People who would have the game changed to make it work on consoles aren't interested in playing it, they only want something called Crysis on their system to gloat about.

Don't quote pictures guys...

Crysis in it's current form CAN NOT be done on consoles. There is not enough ram for that. It could run on Low-Medium if you get loading screens every few mintues...

No, those pictures are without mods. A modded Crysis looks far, far, far better.

they could do it fine. it would just be missing the shock value you can get on a high end PC. that game truely does look "OMG"

The pics may not be set at the highest graphics, but they are using custom levels. Those aren't actual scenes in the game. Custom levels usually consist of smaller areas, but with either more vegetation and/or better placed vegetation and many custom levels look much better than the actual game levels.

Also, the use of sprites, the TOD and self-shadowed grass makes a big difference in performance/quality.

Well I think it's been proven AGAIN that Crysis in it's current form, cannot be done on consoles.

Good job! :D

Even if Crysis came out on consoles or even on a new consoles i would't care,,meh...

It's funny that even a quote from the CEO himself is just ignored, and fanboys just continue their pointless bantering. Why do these threads still exist almost after 2 years Crysis was released? Don't you think it would've come to consoles by now if it was possible? Of course, let's just not listen to the CEO of Crytek because there's just no way that he can be right about his own engine :roll:Kicker_of_Cans
