can 360 or ps3 run crysis at its bare min

Also annoyed, I don't know why you keep saying 256, the consoles each have about 512 or so, and probably about 480 to use for games

There is a reason I say I have 2GB ram and not 2.5GB, Vram has a different use. If you count your vram among your ram when talking about ram dependant tasks; you ignore the tasks reliant on vram.

Besides even if you count the total memory of consoles, it's still not enough for Crysis's memory requirements.

If you knew hardware you would immediately recognise the age of that computer, we're talking pre current consoles here. At the time of purchase that would have been a mid range PC that performed above console settings.

Besides quit being such a hypocrite, console users recognises "you get what you pay for"; but that rule isn't limited to consoles.

[QUOTE="EmperorZeruel"]

well it been discussed that both consoles wont be able to run crysis at high but i never saw anyone shoot for min would the 360 or ps3 be able to run it at its bare min.

They could well run it in medium or high, if the engine was designed from scratch for their architecture and ram limitations

There is no way you can have such a detailed sandbox game with that little ram run on even medium, unless it's ddr9 ram from the future and has an insanely godlike frequency.

It's usually because they are running on an onboard GPU. If the PSU is good enough, you could probably stick in a mid-end card and game away. Usually though the PSU's are garbage and need replacing aswell.

[QUOTE="McdonaIdsGuy"] Max settings at 540 sub HD at 15 fps righ?The_Game21x

I'm confident the trey can run crysis:wh on high at 1080p and at 60 FPS

its also funny because he was being a troll and like 5 people took him seriously

[QUOTE="Senor_Kami"] Geez, meanwhile a $200 console gets you Call of Duty @ 60fps and RE5 quality graphics. I think a better question would have been, "Can your typical Best Buy/Wal-Mart PC play Crysis at low without like $400 in upgrades?" Looks like the answer is no.Senor_Kami

Cald of duty is sub HD ...

Ah, nice little story...

Anway, it looks and runs better on PC.

And i'm sure I could build you a 600$ PC that can run Crysis on medium setting... infact, I think someone aleady posted a $600 PC that can.

Also, your $199 console won't play online for that price.

[QUOTE="HuusAsking"]To help defuse another argument, can someone explain why every part of a Crysis level needs to be in there at once? Explain why you can't, say, remove some of the trees or side assets or simplify the mountains and so on so as to reduce the size of the level itself to within tolerances.

Everything here is an assumption, he only assumes this is the way it works

I can as easilly assume that they load one cell with the near the player stuff and leave some room to load dynamically any distant cell that interation like a rocket exloding happens, eseentially getting exactly the same things Crysis offers, without having everything in ram

Crysis requires 1280 MB of total RAM to boot. Both the 360 and PS3 only have 512MB of total RAM.

Cevat Yerli has stated that "Crysis as we see it on PC is impossible on consoles."

Crysis on low:

Even with it's scale. I'm sure it's possible on the consoles. PCs and consoles don't need the same amounts of RAM.. And even if it still isn't enough, they could tone down some of the physics and other effects. Also they would probably get it running at some sub HD 540 pixels like most other games anyway..Crysis, the way it's meant to be played, isn't possible on consoles. But to say it's not possible at all is pretty bogus

Couth_

I don't argue that it is impossible, I argue the impact of getting it running on consoles would completely change how the game plays. You can always reduce the visuals of a game to make it work on lessor hardware, game play has set requirements.

If people are willing to scrap an important aspect of Crysis just to get it running on consoles; they don't actually want to play Crysis, they just want something that looks like and is called Crysis running on their system.
