Rumor: Original Crysis Bound for Xbox 360?

You do realise they lower the resolution and graphic settings to make it a fair comparison?

could care less what they do. but they did look at the pc verionon its own, and looked at the console ones and they said this about the games graphics "The crucial thing is that both are phenomenally attractive games" but theyre obviously consolite fanboys right?

So basically they lower the PC version to give the consoles a chance, yet they still say the PC version is better. A bit of a slap in the face to consoles don't you think?

God I hope your just trolling, the alternative is just too funny. I'll try again just in case ;)

In those comparisons, they lower the resolution and the graphics settings on the PC version just to make it a "fair" comparison with the console version. Even then they claim the PC version looks better, imagine the difference with higher resolution and graphic settings. That's what I meant by a slap in the face to consoles.

The big news here is that if Crysis goes to 360 then PC's non-RTS non-World of WArcraft AAA exclusive list will look very short for this gen.

And yet it will still have more high scoring exclusives and variety than all consoles combined, this gen alone!

Nobody minds Crysis going over to consoles, after the disaster of Crysis 2 Crytek need the money. It would be interesting to see how it would come across though, what corners they would need to cut etc.

I see any genres that are popular on PC but not consoles still don't count in SW...

Have you seen how many AAA titles PC has? It would have to lose a lot of games to get anywhere near the number consoles have.

Even then, what's a 2007 port for additional cross platform milking? It's not like most console exclusives mean anything these days. Most of them are paid for by the 1st party, hardly what I would call evidence of their ability to attract such games.

Sounds more like you are inventing a criticism to be quite frank.

Have you seen 360s AAAE selection? Two genres, sport and shooter. PS3 does better, but PC has more variety than 360.

Sounds like you should be directing that criticism more towards 360 than PC. Of the group, it has the least AAA genre diversity.

Personally i think far cry 2 was a very good looking game, definatly not as good as crysis but still good looking.

Crysis 1 on any current console will at best end up like Farcry: Instincts.

The original Crysis cannot be reproduced in it's current form, Cervat Yehrli (or however you spell it) said so himself. Claiming otherwise now, means nothing to me since Crysis 2 has been released and he did happen to mention the issue of levels taking up several times the total amount of RAM that the consoles have. From personal experience, it's not uncommon to get a 1.5 Gb footprint.

So PC loses an exclusive. This port is being created with dollar signs in the eyes of the publisher, not ideas from the developer. Yes, there is a difference.

The fact of how huge this thread is, and that it keeps going shows just how insecure pc gamers are. My god who cares? OHHHH no, crysis, on consoles................. cant happen if it does it will be total trash because the pc is magic and only it can run crysis. This whole forum is getting beyond silly to me.

He has a point. It seems like some PC gamers are grasping at straws at trying to downplay the port. ocstew

Some are saying why they can't port the exact game to consoles, and they do have very valid points. Others, like me, don't want them on this generation consoles because Crysis is truly a great experience especially with maxed out visuals. Why give them a crappy downscaled port? Then there's one or two who still don't believe it can be done at all.

Funny thing is that Pc gamers can give a crap about the 1st Crysis *IF* thats a big IF it is coming onto 360 or PS3. You know why? Maybe because the 1st game was made for Pc and we already have the best version. Any version that *would* come onto ether of the HD twins would be a former shadow of the 1st version in every way. So again why do we care? the only reason this thread is so long is because of misinformed posts and some delusions of grandeur about their console running,looking, playing the same as the PC version.

That's obvious, but PC gamers are making too much fuss over this. 500 posts in a few days. Whaaa?

ocstew

It's not confirmed, half of us have been joking around the whole time, and there was a technical debate between AD and Tef. Then there's another consolite that thinks there's nothing special about Crysis and was trolling the whole time.

Minimum Requirements are 1 gigabytes of ram, which is with the OS. So it's definitely doable, though it'll be a tight fit.

Ignore minimum requirements. In reality that means unplayble.

They can't reproduce Crysis 1 in any state that is'nt either worthy of mocking or an entirely different game.

Edit: To this very day, Crysis can bring my rig to it's knees.... Moreso than Crysis 2 can.

Minimum requirements does not in any way mean unplayable. I've played games below minimum requirements many times before.

And, no. If you really think Crysis can't be ported to the 360 fairly easily you just don't know much about how powerful the 360 is. You can play Crysis on a computer less powerful then a 360 easily, and it will be much more optimized on the 360.

No Crysis can not be easily ported..... you would have to change level design and loading to even make the game to work. Even on low settings Crysis uses more the 512mb of system memory so there is no way Crysis can be directly ported unless it goes through some major changes including cutting quality in many areas

Dude I played Crysis with a computer more powerful than the 360 and it brought it to it's knees during the last few levels. I even had to turn everything down to 800x600 and low-medium settings just to kill the last boss. You clearly don't know what kind of computer it takes. It ran like ass even at the lowest settings.

Specs don't translate like that. Bad Company 2 on PC uses something like 1.5 GB of system ram, and fits on 512 MB of video/System ram on the PS3 and 360. That's true of almost every game anymore. Crysis is one of the most poorly optimized PC games too, so it won't be nearly as bad on the 360.

And what runs a lot better and looks a lot better? The PC version. The single player is also far different than BC2 which much larger levels and more.

No it's not. I can't even play Crysis 2 on our "family" PC when I can play Crysis at med with a 8800GT at 720p. Why would a piss-poor optimized game, as you say, be even better on the 360? Did you not play the sad excuse that was Metro 2033 on the 360?

PC fanboys will say how it's downgraded

Regular, logical people will point out what has changed for the worse and why it won't be the same.

Consolites will claim their 2005 hardware can stand up to our $2000 rigs and not buy the game.

None of the levels fit into the memory of the consoles. And yes, GFX, AI, scale and physics will be significantly downgraded (AI really does'nt need that to begin with). Look to Crysis 2 for what needed to be done to make it run at sub 30 fps. They're going to have to create an entirely new game in CE3.

Had I not vowed to never post Crysis shots again, I'd practically beg for it to happen.

Edit: As I already mentioned, Crysis 1 can easily bring SLI 460s to their knees.

And you don't have to take my word for Crysis's unportability, Crytek themselves stated it.

Furthermore, Crysis was never "unoptimized", it just did a hell of a lot of calculations.

CryEngine 2 doesn't have console support, so it'll have to be ported to CryEngine 3 and have a lot of work done to it. And it'd be completely unfair to PC gamers since it's so "unoptimized" as people claim it is.

They're better optimized because they're built first for consoles. Pretty much every UE3 game runs better on equal hardware than their console counterpart. Optimization must not be that hard if they can get the engine to run that great.
