No Crysis For You, Console Gamers! A Look at What Cryengine 3 Means for Gaming

[QUOTE="TechGuru89"][QUOTE="tmacscores91"] if only they were big enough to ctmacscores91

You do know the reason most PC games need that much ram is because all the programs and OS running in the background right. I am not saying RAM is not important but a console runs very little besides the game itself so as much RAM is just not needed in general.wooooode

Meh, I already own too many shooters anyway. Feed me some RPG's!!!!

I can live without Crysis. I'm just glad there's finally an alternative to that friggin' Unreal Engine 3!Timstuff

Dont care for Crysis on the PC. Sucks for anyone who wanted Crysis for consoles :? Crysis is not really all that guys, your not missing much if you didnt get to play it .

Funny how all the console fanboys say, "......oh crysis no longer exclusive"....., "....pc gaming is dead"..., "....the pc has no exclusives"... Yet when it's confirmed that there will be no crysis for consoles they simply try to brush it off like yesterday's newspaper. :roll: I'm excited for the Cry engine to run on consoles and everything like the next guy, but don't be a tool. TechGuru89

Or...... the people brushing it off aren't the same people that made those outrageous claims? Maybe? Just a thought, sorry if I'm not supposed to use logic on SW.

Not the best analogy. A better one is porting Halo 3 to the original XBOX.

Coming from the guy who has all shooters in his gamertag... :roll:

Besides, Crysis is far from generic, the closest thing to it is Far Cry, and it's not even very close without destructible scenery/buildings, physics that actually make a difference in gameplay, and the suit powers. So, I don't know why you consolites love to throw around the term generic, when almost every big FPS released on consoles is more generic in itself.

Also, you do realize that someone created a mod that allows you to use the Gears of War camera angle? There goes that argument.

Yeah,it can be annoying the way people here generalise so much and make false assumptions.

So 2001 console standards = 2007 PC standards? :lol: Halo 3 may have scored the same as Crysis, but Crysis was the one that scored SOTY over all other big-name console shooters. Consolites, they never fail to disappoint.

[QUOTE="delta3074"][QUOTE="jaisimar_chelse"] too bad it got 9.5 and SOTY over halo 3, cod4, bioshock and orange boxsteve17989

I would like to play it....ONLive here I come!!!

So, why can't Crysis work on consoles?

Simple. It isn't the processor (either the 360's tri-core or PS3's cell can handle enough of the physics calculations) or the graphics unit that is holding the two most powerful consoles back: it's the RAM. Memory is a big part of what makes Crysis what it is. When you render enormous levels that are inhabited by hundreds of physics objects and are being patrolled by always-active AI, you need somewhere for all that "stuff" to be easily accessed in real-time. 1 gigabyte is the bare minimum that Crysis needs for most of its levels, and even then the game will be choppy on rigs that have the latest Intel Core i7 processor and NVIDIA GTX 295 graphics cards. 2 GB is the least that you need for the game to run at a smooth clip, almost regardless of the graphics settings that you are using.

He makes some good points, both about the advantages of Cryengine 3 and the difficulty of porting Crysis to consoles, including analogies to GTAIV and Far Cry 2.

I didn't mean all of them, I meant a fair number of them. I worded that badly.

Also, you called the game generic when you haven't even played it. Why would you judge a game before playing it? Not even close? Try again. Well you may be right, Gears 2 has some pretty bad graphics compared to it. So I agree on that part.

OK but why does it matter to you consolites so much whether a game is new or not? lol, its not like shooters have moved beyond Crysis or anything. Is it like clothing and fashion that you dislike something that is "old" ??

HAHA:lol:

who cares realy, cryengine3? boohoo, no1 wants this, GG and Nuaghty Dog can pull off amazing graphics anyway :D

and ofcource at the same time, the games give us great amounts of fun.

If they port Crysis to consoles in any way shape or form, I am quitting gaming and throwing my PC out the window. I don't want to see them rape Crysis of all that made it great! :cry:

This better? It only helps a tiny bit though. It still doesn't look all that hot. lol Actually, this even looks like a bullshot with the lack of Aliasing that the game actually has.

There's so much ignorant Crysis hate in this thread...

"it has good graphix so teh gameplay must suck!"

"the game is old, who cares"

"Crysis is a generic shooter" The irony of this statement just baffles me :roll:

I don't wanna play no old generic shooter! Crysis is just completely outdated by today's standards, y'know?

I have been using this exact explanation for ages, I have said it over and over again; and have even linked to the CEO of Crytek saying just this on YouTube back in 2007.

Why, why of why do people only understand it after they say it a second time at the GDC? It gives me the horrible impression a few weeks from now people will be ignoring the memory problem again and talking about the possibility of a Crysis port.

Which they apparently don't care about, but keep arguing none the less.

I also argued using CryEngine 2 art assets to show off Cryengine 3 was not evidence of a Crysis port.

2. A level playing field for PS3 and 360

Given CE3's ability to automatically scale down and optimize content for the consoles in real-time as it is being designed on the PC, we're unlikely to see the porting issues that developers run into when they use proprietary tech or even some iterations of Unreal Engine 3. Hopefully, as with id Tech 5's easy portability, Cryengine 3 will allow quality games that run without bugs and framerate glitches across PC, PS3 and Xbox 360. No more bad ports from 360 to PS3 or vice versa. The lead platform is the PC, but the engine is smart enough to know how to make that content work on either console platforms. In this case, we gamers are the winners, regardless of our preferred platforms.

snip

Any development method that has the highest quality art assets in the PC version is welcome, too many methods nerf their art assets to console level in the PC version.

Yeah, I am the best at being sarcastic.

[QUOTE="organic_machine"]

Crysis is almost playable with 1.5 gigs of RAM. I need to get more, though.

Marka1700

Oh, and I am sure that you do. I am sure you're able to play through the game and play it. But, no matter what settings I have the game on, even the lowest settings with lowest resolution, I still get these hiccups. When I said "almost playable" I was exaggerating slightly. It's playable. I just need more RAM to remove these hiccups.

GTA IV is as demanding as Crysis if not more.But anyway Crysis was nothing good without its graphics,and they are sort of boring rite now.If a new Crysis is made,that would be fun.

Whats the point? I don't even want crysis on consoles.

Yeah we know, its the RAM, and ithe results were unflattering, still lets give it time, it could end up looking good. I mean the textures and draw/draw-in that suffered, everything else was preserved quite wellFirstDiscovery
