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

Well a it can be done,theres no doubt in that.But it would need to be optimized.And the jungle parts in Cryengine 3 just look as good as Crysis on high.Crysis originally in its form can not be transfered to the consoles,thats obvious because no game can be,unless and until its optimized.That does not mean there will be a massive loss of quality.We would just have to wait and see what type of loss are we talking about,because seriously so far we have seen games close to Crysis on consoles.lancer_87

Optimization isn't some magic word that makes old hardware perform like new, it is a mixture of resource management and quality control to maximize performance and quality.

256mb vram is 256mb vram, it doesn't become 512mb or more because of optimisation.

Meh, played it on my friend's PC, cool graphics but the gameplay isn't anything special. Halo, COD, and Resistance are all better. It would be nice if they could make a genuinely superb game with that fancy graphics engine so I can do something besides stare at the trees for enjoyment.

No kidding TC, Crysis screams out loud PC ONLY. Its not a game for consoles, and it never will. Remember the FarCry port for xbox?LookAnDrolL

Yes all you do is stare trees

Besides crysis has more than 300 single player maps on crymod for free and each map offers a different mission and a couple of total conversion mods

Does resistance halo or console cod have that much support? No you get stuck with whatever microsoft or sony deside to release ( if they ever release something that is) and youy got to paid for a few maps

You couldnt be more wrong. Although crysis focus on single player and multiplayer isnt its strong point there quite a few people playing the game online sure is not TF or L4D but still asround 500-600 isn't that bad for a game released in late 2007 that doesnt focus on multiplayer

Yes comparing the multiplayer part of a multiplayer focus game thats on 3 platforms and sold more than 10million with a single player focus game makes sense

Also way to exxacurate 60000? ( if thats true i'm impressed though)

[QUOTE="PSdual_wielder"]

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

dgsag

Well, the questions reveals that Cry Engine 3 is being built primarily around PC. PC being the lead platform. Very good to hear i must say. Means it'll look vastly superior on PC because, frankly, the console iterations didn't even look as Cry Engine 2.

Varies during the time of day. I was playing last night for a bit that had 3 full lists of servers (not including dedicated) with about half near full. As you know, most servers are 32 players.

And, frankly, i've actually checked Game monitor and realtime and it's rarely accurate. But, hey, believe what you want. You would be foolish to think that one instance during the middle of the day when most PC gamers are working (as most PC gamers are older) is when games are full.

If I honestly cared about first-person shooters a great deal, then I would own a high-end PC anyway.

Thats one thing I don't get, why consoles don't have more ram... Sure it might be a little more expensive, but PC ram is practically given away nowadays, I don't get it.

PC ram prices are just as cheap as always.http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145184

Consoles don't have more RAM due to console manufacturers keeping costs as low as possible. And, frankly, you add GB's of ram to these consoles and they might as well be a PC that can't do anywhere nearall the basic PC functions.

You really have no idea what you're talking about...do you? Do you realize how many people play Battlefield 2 and Battlefield 2142 on a daily basis?

CS 1.6 isn't the most popular shooter. You know what it says that tons still play it? PC games are timeless. Even with old games you can always find dozens and most of the time hundreds of people still playing online (Neverwinter Nights, Diablo, Starcraft, CS 1.6, Quake, etc.). Some people still enjoy these games and like to play them from time to time. Who are you to judge them?

You need a reality check, badly. You really have zero idea what you are talking about when it comes to PC gaming.

BF2 and BF2142 aren't even the same type of shooters as CS 1.6

CS 1.6 is the most competitive FPS on the market, and that's why it's still the second most played online FPS in history. Only beaten by CS: Source.
