Rumor: Crysis shown on Xbox 360 to 'prospective publishers' at GDC

A glib response from a Crytek representative may have revealed that Crysis is coming to the Xbox 360. The rep reportedly told Primotech that the Xbox 360 version was being shown behind close doors to "prospective publishers" at last month's Game Developers Conference.

This is far from a confirmation; the Crytek rep may have misspoken. Furthermore, we'd be surprised if Crysis PC publisher Electronic Arts didn't have the foresight to secure rights to the console game as well. We do know that Crytek planned on showing off a console version of CryEngine 2 (which runs Crysis), and although the assets were likely Crysis, perhaps the prospective publishers were just looking for a game engine.

I'd like to point out the first sentence of the second paragraph though.

Sorry if old.

i find that highly unlikely because there's not enough RAM.shoeman12

And yet PS3 fanboys think it's going to the PS3 using even less then the 360.

wasnt it shown on ps3 and 360 at GDC?

that was the crytek (or maybe farcry, i forgot the name) engine, not crysis.

That doesn't mean Crysis wasn't show on 360, that means that Crysis as we know it on PC wasn't show on 360. Could have been a variant of sorts.

People never learn. They will find a way to make Crysis work on a console. It's where the money is at.heretrix

if "thats where the money is at" why didnt they just make it multiplat in the first place? fact is Crysis in its current form cannot run on consoles....

Yet the PC made more money then any other single platform in 2007 :lol: dont get me wrong, theirs a lot of money to be had in the consoles, but so is there on the PC which is also growing significantly every year.

The difference is though PC Gamers don't shell out for bad ports and the console gamers do which is why the PC is constantly getting great ports of games that started on consoles and the consoles are always getting garbage ports of games that started on PC because....well when 50 Cent bullet Proof / Enter the Matrix etc sells millions on consoles just on the name alone you can understand why... :lol:

PC had the highest earnings in the US last year. 30% was the figure shown. Break that up for all the other consoles/handhelds.

Did they ever show it? I didn't see any vids or any news on it.

I believe it was shown behind closed doors, though I do know there was a demo released showing off CE2, it had balls bouncing down what looked like a street in San Francisco.

lol this is as bad as the rumor of crysis on the ps3......people need to let this rumor die alreadyDante2710

I know right? There is no doubt they will probably be making a console game. Heck it might even be crysis lite. But remember it isn't going to be like the PC version. Games pushing PC hardware cannot directly be ported to consoles without watering down.

There you go. It is definitely not San Fran, and those are definitely not balls.

Was the demonstration shown to the reporter? No. Therefore, this "Crysis on 360" thing is false. It's also very possible that the rep misspoke and that they were just showing off CryEngine2 on consoles.princeofshapeir

I would put money on it being the JOURNALIST misquoting. Many people think that Cryengine 2 and Crysis go together/are the same thing.

Yep, I was right

http://www.primotechnology.com/2008/03/04/gdc-08-crysis-on-xbox-360-shown-behind-closed-doors/

Crytek itself sent out a press release in January announcing that it would be showing Crysis running on 'next-gen' consoles at the show.

I wasn't aware they said that Crysis would be running on 'next-gen' consoles.... I believe they said it was the engine NOT the game.

Rumor shot down AGAIN.

I agree with heretrix on this one... if they figure they can milk Crysis for more cash-ola (aka sell it to the console crowd), they will find a way to do it...

A. There is money in porting your game to the consoles

B. Developers are liars. They will say anything to get you to buy the specific version of the game they are pushing

another thing, are you seriously telling me that PC gamers don't buy crap games/ports? ARE YOU MAD? There is more shovelware on the PC platform than all 3 consoles combined.

Aside from graphics and physics, I think Crysis on the 360 would just get lost within the other FPS games.

repeating myself....

On a different note, heretrix, PC gaming is as big as console gaming, if not bigger.

As for the shovelware comment... The reason they are there is because developers can make a game on budgets smaller than a weekly food budget of a college student and can release them... To make shovelware on consoles you have to pay licensing fees which these crappy developers can't afford. So... naturally they hit the open platform and hope 100 fools buy it.

To be honest Vandal, I think it's rubbish for now. But I truly believe that it's going to happen sooner or later.As for it being stripped down who knows? I'm sure there will be some control issues to handle, but I'm not getting the whole "it's going to be impossible" thing. And as I've said earlier these guys lie all the friggin time. Be it for legal reasons or whatever, I can't count how many times I've heard a developer say "It can't be done" only to have it done later on. I just think it's too much money for them NOT to do it.

He was obviously joking. Anyway, I could care less if Crysis came to consoles or not. I am already on a tight budget as it is.

Let me explain my original comment.

I could care less if Crysis comes to the consoles or not. I have it for the PC already and I have a PC that can run it well right now and I'm building another PC that will run it balls out next month.But if anybody thinks that it won't make any money on the consoles, I'm going to tell you right now, I'm amazed that you can get out of bed without killing yourself in the morning.

You telling me to keep dreaming? You are one of those diluted fanboys that are in that GTA4 thread trying to convice your fellow console sheep that the definitive version would be the PS3 installment...seems like your the one thats dreaming...or drunk whichever one you prefer.
