man so what kind of form then

ha ha, they brought far cry to the xbox and Wii. Crysis can be put on the next gen console if they where willing to work at it.

Crysis are being stupid. Technically Doom 3 and Half Life 2 should naver have been possible on Xbox. Crysis will end up on a console eventually, you mark my words!

Doom 3 and HL2 on xbox suck ass though compared to a the PC version running on a decent PC.

Not enough is know about programmining efficiencies for next gen consoles yet, these are far too sweeping statements when we simply havent seen what these consoles are capable of yet.

Gears of war for example maybe doesnt support the high end physics, but looks just as good.

I expect a full technical breakdown of why it would not be possible, it' s just nonsense at the mo. I suppose it is our fault for taking everything devs say literally and publishing it.

Crytek will look like shit comparing to some console games in 2008/2009.

I read it too... it' s bullsh*t. They just want people to stop bugging them about a console release. They' ve already said the technology is running on next gen consoles and that the game will run on DirectX 9 graphics cards. The next gen consoles have more than enough power to run the game. again, they are just sick of constantly ebing asked about a console port.

My name is Rampage99 and I am a double agent...

I think companies should just come out sometimes and just say it' s coming out.
They don' t have to give specific details, but if they told everyone that a console
release was due, it would settle people' s minds.

They said that there are DX10 specific features that both 360 and PS3 can' t do - while I think both next gen system will eventually surpass crytek , that' s what they say. I think they believe it - their roots are in PC development and they don' t understand how to make it on consoles.They' re not the first and not the last to miss a golden oportunity.

Ps3 isnt even out yet and there are games that are ' too powerfull for it' ?

I am going to bet, we will see this on the Wii.

I just think they dont really know how to program such games for the next-gens yet. It cant be that they already know that the next gens arent powerful enough -.-

Errr.. But isnt the 360 goin to be Dx 10 compliant ...

For god sake people calm down.

What Crytec are saying is...


The way they want this game to run on the cnew ' next wave' PC specs will not happen on these current (and soon to come consoles).

Yeah, you may see cut-down conversions, running at half the framerate.. But when you see a fully kitted Next Gen PC run the same game, the 360 / Ps3 efforts are gonna really show their weakness.


I mean, if the 360 still cant run current-gen titles like ' Prey' as good as my current PC how on earth will it even come close to my next gen PC running a Next gen title..


Makes perfect sense to me.

Most likely a combination of deadlines and lack of skill overall.

I have a Athlon 64 3200+ and a Radieon x850 Pro overclocked via ATI tool, with a gig of ram. I can run prey at 1024x768 with everything on maximum (anti-aliasing 4x, like 360 games), and get 60fps and beyond easily. There' s only split second slowdown when things explode etc.

Both the 360 and PS3 are considerably more powerful than my PC if you look at the specs of the individual components, and their intergration together as a whole in the design of the machines. Plus consoles have a streamlined, reduced bottleneck design. There' s not reason why prey shouldn' t have done 60fps on 360.

The Doom 3 engine wasn' t optimized properly, but in general f3hunter is right. PC' s that can run Crysis on the very highest settings (as it' s meant to be played) will be capable of more than both next gen consoles and a diluted port is the most we will get.

That' s not to say that games built specifically with PS3 and 360 architecture in mind will be any less stunning though.

I would like to know where the are getting their blu-ray specs from. 9mbps is what they are saying but on the blu-ray site a 2x bluray is supposed to be 72mbps. A minimal speed of 54mbps is needed for movies. So what are they talking about?

That' s not to say that games built specifically with PS3 and 360 architecture in mind will be any less stunning though.

Virtua Fighter 5 alone proves that. However if Resi 5 and DMC 4 match the in-game demos shown at E3 then I' d expect a PS3 or 360 version of Crysis to look as good as the build shown at this years E3, running off Direct X9. 60fps is not too much to expect, although the most of the game engine would have to be re-written and fully optimised for the console' s specs, plus changes to how certain effects are done etc, rather than just ported basically to achieve those results. I' d imagine a drop in quality at around the standards seen in Resi 4 from GCN to PS2.

Ultimately, it just takes too much time, effort and money to do that these days. I still think it' s the way to go though, even if it takes a over a year for the game to come out, a truly stunning conversion would be worth it.

...f*ck ' em....

....real console gamers don' t give a flying f*ck about 5 year old, half-a$$ed PC ports anyway... ...i' d rather spend my hard earned cash on a real console game like Halo 3...

...to weak?... ...more like " we don' t know how" ...

...crytec can go and f*ck themselves....

Wow. You make it sound like Crytek smothered your baby or something. People need to get over the fact that PC games will always have the potential to have superior graphics. It' s simply due to the nature of constantly evolving technology and software.

I' m not suprised at all by this. In its fully fledged state, Crysis will not be feasible on the consoles - mainly due to DX10. But there' s no doubt in my mind that we' ll see a slightly stripped down/modified version for consoles in the next year or two.

People need to get over the fact that PC games will always have the potential to have superior graphics.

That' s BS - Console games look more impressive than PC games on PC twice as good in specs - it' s always been like that.

Doom3 on Xbox - tell me what PC you need to have to run it in equally looking settings on PC and then check specs for Xbox.

Consoles need console specific games to show their potential and PC devs aren' t the ones known for high quality optimisation - " if it' s choppy get a new CPU , we did our thing" - that' s their motto.
