[QUOTE="Ravensmash"] Well it's now on the ESRB site too - http://www.esrb.org/ratings/search.jsp?title=crysisAnnoyedDragon
What I said in 2007 is still valid now.
A direct port of Crysis is impossible. A console port would have to be converted into a cell streaming memory management model, which would dramaticly shrink the scale of the game play experience; to whatever will fit in consoles memory. Changing the core game from its original experience, despite any efforts made to maintain a similar visual experience.
This point is usually followed with people questioning the value of anything consoles cannot do, usually until consoles can do it; and it suddenly matters. Whether or not you think large scale environments are of any value, it is a intended part of the Crysis 1 experience, as reinforced by the head of Crytek himself.
Consoles cannot duplicate what Crysis 1 did on PC, and I'm not just referring to visuals. Usually the desire to see Crysis 1 on consoles in SW is meant as a jab at the PC crowd; rather than a genuine desire. People want to believe consoles can do anything a modern PC can, and they don't care about the details; so long as they can see a game called Crysis 1 on 360/PS3.
Well I'm happy to wait and see. I don't want the game for no jab at PC gamers - I just want to play it.
