Mostly asking this about the PS3, as I recently saw someone claim that, with the Cell, the PS3 has a processor that outstrips that of most PCs, making Crysis on High and Very High easily possible on consoles. As I know next to nothing about the Cell, I thought I would put the question to you. Is the Cell really that powerful?

Like anything, it could be scaled down alot to work on consoles. But it wouldnt be crysis, just a bastardized version of it.

Yes I think the only console that could handle the game would be the PS3. They are releasing a massive game on the system that no other system could run, and the game is not even running all of the systems power. The PS3 has more processing speed than most computers, and the innards of the system are very powerful. I would say the PS3 could easily run the game.

[QUOTE="Vandalvideo"]"...not in its current state" -Crytek.unholymight

give us linke

I can't find the *exact* quote, but I do have something just as good. "next generation consoles like the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3 do not offer the sufficient power" needed for some high-quality Crysis action." http://www.joystiq.com/2006/08/30/crytek-says-360-and-ps3-cant-handle-crysis/ And then theres this "Why Can't Crytek Produce a Great Crysis Port? No one is saying they can't, but consoles do have their limitations. Crysis is a very detailed game with an enormous view distance. All that information has to be stored in a quick to reach place which is either the video ram, or the system ram. The next best thing is then the hard-drive. Unfortunately, consoles don't have much ram nor do they have a hard-drive ( which are much faster to read from than discs ). We've already seen how the simple environments in gears of war require many loading interruptions. This makes it hard to imagine how a game such as Crysis could run on a machine with so little quick access storage." http://www.crysis-online.com/Articles/crysis-on-consoles-the-facts-of-the-matter.php

It's possible. But definately not on high/very high and with large and detailed maps. Unless they do some crazy optimization, discover another Cell and extra Ram in the PS3 or do it with Wii resolutions.

More complicated. The cell is easily the strongest CPU on the market.........for processes that have nothing to do with gaming. CPUs on the PC can easily lap around the cell in gaming proccesses. If you want a super computer for math, sure go for the cell.

1. Crysis is not game that uses heavily processor

Crysis = loves ram and GIGS of it

2. Devs said no - especialy not Crysis we all know of. Some version with less detail,less huge spaces etc - yes,but THE Crysis - no

3. Cell is not that powerfull,especialy not one used in console lol

The guy who said that cell > pc processors is reading old "hype" articles,he should face facts - crysis in current states is NOT possible on console lol

They cant even run maxed out Oblivion for Gods sake

Hmm you dont know a lot do you? Crysis = ram and your ps3 clearly lacks some

+ you are reading some really old "cell is asm" "truth about cell" articles + those "mentioned awesome cells" are not same as one in ps3 afaik

There is difference between CELLS used in supercomputers and ones used in ps3 lol :roll:

Its called lack of RAM. Besides, the Publisher is in charge of PR. Guess who that is? The multiplatform She Devil EA. I'm sure if they could port it, they would.

It cannot run on consoles at it's max settings, although I'm sure they could scale it down turn off all AA, lower the resolution, and put the settings on medium/high and it'd run at a good 30-40FPS.

The Cell isn't so great for gaming, not to mention the CPU has little to do with running Crysis, which is a primarily GPU-based game.

It is most likely not possible as it is right now because even a 280 card can only offer 20-25 FPS on it.

However, you can make it play on NES if you wanted provided you strip it down enough.

Can't believe people voted yes, I'm just hoping they're looking at it differently. "Is Crysis possible on consoles?" is the question, not "Is a stripped down, crappy version of Crysis in sub-hd possible on consoles?"

Yes you are.

The only system that might have a chance is the xbox 360 since Crysis is a GPU heavy game. There is no way in hell that the RSX (a stripped down 7800GTX) can run Crysis at decent settings.

not in its current state because of the data that needs to be saved in ram, graphically the consoles could run the game on medium/high settings, crtek got the engine running on consoles at those settings...well abit better then that, but the game crysis could not run on consoles because of the ram space, the ps3's dirve speed and the 360's install problem.

in the sense that it could be done, yes. but it would probably look like Half-Life 2 when they tried to port it to the original xbox. not a pretty sight.

If you want to play it on low settings for console then yes otherwise impossible. They acheived medium+ graphics in their closed demonstration on a indoor custom non Crysis related level, ran twitchy. A low-end PC does 30fps on indoor scenes at high and even very high on 1280x720p in Crysis. /THREAD
