Rumor? GamesRadar reports Crysis is coming to the PS3 with extra features

http://gamepro.com/news.cfm?article_id=157388

According to GamesRadar, Crytek personnel have all but confirmed a conversion of Crysis for PS3.

"The game looks to be a port of the PC original plus some extra modes and features, a kind of Crysis 1.5," reports the consumer gaming site. Additionally, GamesRadar says an Xbox 360 version will not be made due to "technical reasons."

Prepare for the flood of obnoxious posts proclaiming how this port will be useless and inferior to the PC version and how you're stupid and noone loves you because you want to buy it :roll: personally I think its pretty sweet the game will reach a larger audience and if I had a PS3 id be really excitedGodModeEnabled

You couldn't be more correct.

Personally, I'm just glad Far Cry 2 is coming to the Xbox 360.

I'm not sure how credible PlayStation World UK is considering the article is written in the mannerisms of a blind Sony fanatic. 'Mighty Killzone 2'...:lol:. I also found it amusing that the 360 version is not going to happen due to 'technical limitations' as if the PS3 is so much more powerful. Honestly, this all seems like a lot of wishful thinking, but time will tell.

I'm with you in thinking that the source is highly suspect... I've never heard of Playstation World UK. The only reason anyone is paying attention to the rumor is that Gamesradar picked it up and ran with it.

I highly doubt that the PS3 or 360 can run Crysis on any respectable level. My suspicion is that there might be a Crysis spinoff in the works, but I don't think the consoles will be seeing a straight port of the game. I'd love to be proven wrong though.

The fact it mentions "extra features" makes it fake. Those features could easily be added to the PC version with a simple update.

And even if it did come to the PS3, it would most likely be a far inferior version. Crysis requires a minimum of 1024 MB of system RAM, without Vista... the PS3 has 256.foxhound_fox

Actually the PS3 has 512mbs of RAM... not that it would make a difference in this case.

Could they be tweaking the engine and graphics to make it less demanding, so perhaps it could play on PS3 (If this rumor is true)? Of course, that might be alot of work, and who would want to play what would be known as the "crappy console port". :/

It is sounding true, surfer girl picked up on it as well (the person who has been nailing prediction after prediction), she says there is a 360 version in the works too.

It was going to happen, its a major PC title that would sell way better on consoles. I am sure they can manage a great port of the game, I dont see why not.

Far Cry 2 all the way. Crysis was a slight disappointment for me. I hope FC2 actually uses the fact the game engine's so open ended unlike Crysis.

Thinking about it, this does sound fake though. I don't think there's any way you could port Crysis as it is to a system with only 256 megs of RAM. That would be a freakin programming miracle.

Half Life 2 requires a minimum of a 1.2 Ghz processor, 256 MB of RAM and a 16 MB videocard yet they still ported the game to the Xbox with its 733 Mhz CPU, 64 MB shared Ram and 233 Mhz videocard.

People have to stop acting like Consoles have to follow PC's requirements when it's a totally different architecture

There's no way consoles would be able to handle Crysis in the form it is now but I can easily see a Crysis Instincts being brought to consoles

Probably because you haven't played the game. For the billionth time (and I'm getting kind of annoyed that people refuse to pay attention) - it's not about the graphics. There is nothing, absolutely nothing on consoles that can match the huge-ass levels found in Crysis. When you take into consideration that those levels are fully destructible/interactive and full of assets, the notion of a direct port becomes laughable. They couldn't do it with Far Cry and there's an extremely low chance that they're going to do it with Crysis. Crytek itself has confirmed that if Crysis comes to consoles it would have to be build for the consoles from the ground up.

Considering that Ubisoft would actually market the game properly, I'd say Crysis on the consoles could sell as well as something like COD4.

Assuming the game was very good of course.

It's entirely possible that it would sell really well, but it's hardly guaranteed. Sometimes I get the vibe that people really believe that all PC games fail commercially, but all console games are raving success stories. Obviously, that's not the case. It's probable that some sort of Crysis (Crysis Instincts, if you will) will come to consoles some day, so I guess we'll see how it does.

By the way, Ubisoft doesn't have to do anything with Crysis - thank goodness. :wink: Crysis is a fully owned Crytek IP.

Sell way better on consoles? You sure the casual shooter crowd would welcome a partially non-linear shooter that lets them actually explore and make their own decisions?
foxhound_fox

Do you really think that console gamers are that much different than you are? Am I not capable of any degree of sophistication or high level thought because I game primarily on consoles? I'll tolerate PC elitists for the most part, but implying that the average console gamer is a simpleton that wouldn't know what to do if they had to make their own decisions is just a little too condescending.

This is like the World of Warcraft to 360 rumor that just won't die.

Its ironic to see this constant rumors on the hopeful console appearance of a PC game that many of these sites and people just 6 months ago wrote off as a "tech demo".....of course that attitude changed once Crysis started getting steller reviews and won some genre awards such as the one here at Gamespot.

Ubisoft isn't the publisher of Crysis.....EA is.

Even then, Crytek owns the rights to the IP.

And in the past, EA has done spinoffs of PC Exclusive FPS titles rather then direct ports, and those spinoffs are usually handled by an completely different internal team at EA rather then the development team who made the original PC version.

If EA follows the pattern they have in bringing previous FPS franchises.......they'll definitely market the spinoff game, and market it well.....it's the actually development they won't put much effort into. But then again, that won't make a difference and be more beneficial for them since with the right marketing it'll sell anyway.

i always love when the PC elitists have to eat their hats after proclaiming "you will never see game xyz on a console". sure the game will be watered down, but as is the case almost every time, the difference will only be really apparent to true videophiles, and the experience will be pretty much the same.OneWingedAngeI

Whether it appears on Console or not doesn't really matter....the game was already excellent on PC.

It's just funny to watch some Console users continue rumors about a hopeful console version of a game 6 months ago they were happy to dismiss as a "tech demo" from a platform some of them are constantly proclaiming as "dead" or "dying".

.....or how they were happily dancing to the supposed "poor" sales of Crysis based solely on the initial NPD numbers (in fact it's been selling pretty well worldwide, remained in the Top 5 best selling PC games since launch in U.S. retail, and had the second highest retail revenue on the platform for December beating out even WoW and Sims games).

In addition, those "PC elitists" are simply giving their opinion of what will happen based on past patterns of what has happened......and more often when you have a PC game that requires high resources far beyond what consoles offers, Consoles get a dedicated spinoff title rather then the actual game.....that or they get a really watered down port where the difference is certainly noticable.

No kidding, I mean look @ Bioschock sales on the 360, but, but ... its won't sell b/c of the console casuals... :roll:

We're in the middle of this console generation, I would really them to use this game for the launch of next-gen consoles, but that's wishful thinking on my part as its a little to early for that.

It's good when developers can keep complete ownership of their IP. That said, Ubisoft really does a good job a marketing so I would think if and when a console version hits, it would sell well if they were the publishers.

I also wasn't implying that PC games sell poorly. PC games typically have longer shelf lives and often sell over the course of years. Obviously, PC games sell otherwise developers would quit making them.

There are plenty of good reasons to get a PS3, but this isn't one of them. It is an unconfirmed rumor, and more likely than not, if there is a Crysis game on the PS3 and/or 360 it won't be a direct port of Crysis.

It's something to be called a casual by the likes of you. Honestly, it borders on comedic irony when a wannabe elitist starts hurling generalized insults like a twelve-year-old fan boy.

"Duh, we console gamers no like freedom, Crysis like reading big book or playing chess, Duh!!!"

That's pretty much what your statement above implied.

You do realize that plenty of intensely hardcore gamers prefer consoles, right? You are aware that some genres don't even register on the PC, along with numerous exclusive games that will never see a PC release? And are you really, after all these years, still trying to push the notion that the FPS genre belongs to PC gaming exclusively?

Take a deep breath and get over yourself.

whoa did you jut turn someone away from a PS3? I thought you said you were a PS3 fanatic... they might take your membership away for this outrageous thinking.

Anyways I dont know of a single system that doesn't have it's jealous fanatics saying things like "oh that ~insert popular exclusive game title here~ looks stupid, I dont care..." I remember the same things being said by PC gamers about Gears of War.

No. It was nothing like that. I am talking about the casual audience who game on consoles. I am a console gamer myself but I don't play games like Halo, Call of Duty 4 or Burnout. I am saying the people who play THOSE games mainly are the ones who couldn't appreciate Crysis for all it is worth because they are used to extremely linear games that offer hardly any degree of choice or variety. They would complain that it didn't "tell them what to do so they got lost and bored" -or- "there was too little action and too much running from place to place."

I'm a console elitist more than I am a PC elitist anyways.foxhound_fox

While I appreciate that you weren't attacking the entirety of console gamers, I think that there are plenty of successful non-linear games on consoles to justify bringing Crysis over to consoles. The feasibility of porting it is a whole different issue though.

I'd love to see a flawless port of Crysis on the PS3 and I'd buy it in a heartbeat, don't get me wrong about that... I'd also like to believe that Santa Claus is real, and that I'm going to go home tonight, turn on the evening news, and see video proof that Loch Ness, UFOs, and Sasquatch are alive and kicking... but it isn't happening.

We are definitely in agreement on that. I prefer games built around the hardware I'm running it on greatly over games that are ported from somewhere else. All I was saying is that there would be a large audience of console gamers that would welcome Crysis with open arms if it were to somehow be miraculously ported over to consoles.

Thats such a ridiculous statement. Crysis is no different than any other "sandbox" game, which are incredibly popular on the consoles. In fact, Crysis is about as open ended as the GTA games which are 3 of the best selling console games of all time.

The truth is that there is little difference between a PC gamer and a console gamer in the modern market. 15years ago there was a big difference, today its not so much. The same types of games tend to be popular across both platforms. Call of Duty 4 is currently the best selling game on both. And when the original Halo was release it was a huge hit in the PC market. I'm willing to bet Halo 2 would have been huge also if MS hadn't made vista a requirement.

foxhound_fox

Speculate and conjecture much?

Oh, and you couldn't be more wrong, given the general success of open-ended games on consoles. You assume people don't want the same choices in their FPS that they clearly enjoy in games like GTA yet you offer no rationale for this supposition. I'm willing to bet that most of these gamers would welcome a more open-ended FPS and the success of the sandbox genre lends far more credibility to my position than yours.

Also, what's wrong with linear progression? Do you have a detailed thesis regarding why gamers who enjoy linear games are unwilling to embrace open-ended constructs? And technically speaking, given the massive focus of the multiplayer component in those games you mention, is it really a reasonable assertion to suggest COD4 or Halo 3 are played and enjoyed primarily because of their linear natures given how non-linear multiplayer actually is?

Sorry, but I'm still reading a lot of baseless, crass generalizations about console gamers tinged with elitism.

if they did get a conosle port they wouldn't understand or apperiate it its far to intelligent for the conosles they won't get why the pc likes it.Poshkidney

In addition to being able to form coherent sentences, most of the console gamers around here can spell correctly. So we might not be as dumb as you think we are.
