Crytek: "Crysis could be on the 360 or PS3"
Tuesday 31-Jul-2007 8:25 AM Crytek's CEO Cevat Yerli throws gallons of fuel on the gossip fires
17 CommentsCrysis heading to PS3 and Xbox 360 - it's the speculation that's refused to lay down and die and now, dangling a carrot in front of the faces of those who wish it would, Crytek has said it could happen.

"Theoretically, anything could run anywhere", Crytek CEO Cevat Yerli told PC Gamer (UK) magazine when asked if he still believed the first-person shooter couldn't run on console.

"Crysis could be on the 360 or PS3", Yerli said.

"It requires optimisation, that's what we've always communicated", he went on. "What you would not do is make Crysis on PS3, 360 and PC for a single shipping date, because we would lose the quality focus.

"So I say, 'First PC version, then we'll see what happens'."

So don't go singing 'Crysis on console' from the rooftops just yet - Yerli added that there aren't any plans for Crysis on PS3 and Xbox 360 currently. "...it's a matter of how far we can take each platform" and Crytek would not go to a platform unless it could make the game "number one there".

But remember: it could happen...

Will they just make up their minds, they first said that it couldn't then they say it can.

Ok.... but... the one redeeming factor Crysis has is its graphics. Nothing else about the game is particularily unique. And graphics is the one thing that will be lost in translation to consoles... so what is the point?

What about the destructible things,free roaming gameplay and the special powers?

But im just gonna get it on the pc though im not gonna wait that long for a poort.

Crysis looks likes it's bringing a lot more to the table than re-hashed shooters like Halo 3. I'll definitely pick it up for the PC even if they confirm it for the 360, as it looks to be a no-compromise, keyboard/mouse game for sure.

Whoa.. there aren't any shooters from what I can see that have done as well as Halo. The story is very good and it's not the same thing over and over again with the Halo games, they make it better everytime. Crysis looks good, but I don't think it will kill Halo.

Not really all that unique these days. Pretty much every game is trying to incorporate these things.

Now I'm not calling Crysis a bad game by any stretch, and I will most certainly be checking this one out when it comes out. I just don't thinks its all that unique, and I can't see a console port being all that great (since it will be dumbing down the most obvious selling point of the game). But hey if they make it more than a port (like they did with Far Cry Instincts) then it may be worth checking out.

Far cry instincts was really bad compared to the original far cry if you ask me they changed it too much.

But those things i mentioned of crysis might not be new but the way its implemented in the gameplay seems really great.
