we haven't seen what the console versions are going to be like, two different teams are working on each version so i can see the console version being pretty damn gimped to say the least. hopefully the other team do a good job of the pc version if they don't that would be a joke to mankind.
Nevermind, I didn't know 2 devs were making it.Michael324
Not only that, but Crysis and Crysis 2 run on two different engines. Crysis runs on Cryengine 2 and Crysis 2 is on Cryengine 3. Cryengine 3 was made basically because Cryengine 2 was to powerful for consoles and Crytek wants to make games for consoles also. With Cryengine 2, they can't really do that, so they decided to make s watered down version of Cryengine 2 and call it Cryengine 3.

The engine is just as capable as 2, it just scales better to lower hardware.
Yet again people have failed to recognise the argument being put forward.
The argument wasn't Crysis couldn't be done on consoles, the argument was Crysis couldn't be done on consoles "in its current form". There is a big difference, if you rip everything out of a game that was only possible on PC then sure; it will run on consoloes, but that isn't running it in its current form is it?
Have you seen the CryEngine 3 videos? Those scream of streaming to me, distanced objects are none existent.
You cannot fit 1GB+ of information into 256mb ram at any one time, it has to be cut up and streamed into memory as chunks.
Crysis's game play is dependant on a open environment, the whole area readily accessible in memory, therefore a console optimized version is guaranteed to have scaled down game play.
