If you were a PC game which console would you make your way to - The Xbox 360 or the Playstation 3? Let us think about the recent course of events for a moment and examine the facts.
Could Crytek be following in the footsteps of Epic? There has been a job post on Crytek's official site looking for a PS3 developer for a few months now, however when asked about it Crytek declined to comment.
The job opening itself may be all the fuel Playstation 3 fans need, however we would like to add some more. Take into consideration the course of events that took place recently between Sony and Epic.
Sony has just made themselves very attractive to PC game developers by allowing mods and map building on their console, exactly the type of things that Microsoft would not.
If Sony is willing to extend the offer they made Epic to other developers (and we can't see why they wouldn't) then the "woosh" noise you hear in the distance may very well be the sound of developers lining up to sign on Sony's dotted line.
To those who say the PS3 is not capable of handling the requirements for the Crysis game, you may want to rethink your stance on the subject. We recently spoke to two Crytek representatives at this years E3, of which one mentioned that the game is still being worked on and their hopes are to not only continue to improve the overall experience, but to also find ways to lower the minimum spec requirements necessary to play the game.
In closing, while the game is meant for DirectX 10 and will run on DirectX 9, it seems that Crytek is still looking to refine the games requirements. This could prove to be a positive thing for PS3 owners.
