since crysis 2 can run on the ps3 and the 360 can the 1st one be ported?

well crysis 2 is here and its on both consoles, the graphics looks prety good compred to the pc version. does that mean the first one can be poted?

It's something other than graphics that are the main problem.

It can be ported no prob...the issue is the graphics wont look "maxed out" like if you maxed out the PC version...you would probably get medium graphics in that open world environment....

the question is, would you want to play Crysis 1 on medium??

Nope... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVsT4D2_VTI

I don't think you know just how inferior Crysis 2 is..

It's not all about the shiny looks.

No.

If they attempted render what Crysis 1 does at appealing settings, Germany in it's entirety would explode.

they did'nt squeeze Crysis into consoles, they took out features that would make it impossible to run.

Edit: Oh yeah, there is also the memory issue. Crysis levels tend to be twice as large as what's available on consoles before it's used for anything like running the OS and game engine.

no, the levels are to large, the textures are to good, and if you set of lots of explosions the physics would probably cause slow-down.

They could make a version that looks very similar in graphics if they just reduce textures, physics, and scale though. :D

Absolutely, that's why they are'nt in Crysis 2.

Crysis 2 is nerfed compared to the original. Still great though.

The levels in Crysis 2are very small compared to the first and they also seem to have limited the AI.

They could to a lite version of Crysis 1 but it would be nothing like the original.

Unlike many other games, the original game in this case is more powerful than the sequel.

Only If they make it look like Far cry 2 :Plbjkurono23

Graphics are not the problem, it's the consoles lack of RAM.. They could make it look like Far Cry 1, but the consoles wouldn't be able to process all the physics, AI, scale, ect.

Consoles are built for streaming, they cannot handle loading levels the size as the ones in use in Crysis 1.

TheGuardian03

No, just repaint the guy to look like the nano suit :P, paint the sand green, throw a little water and call it a day xD

they could do it but for it to run properly it will probably look like a ps1 game at best

No chance. Like others have said Crysis 2 has been reduced dramatically to fit on consoles.

On the consoles:

CPU - Not enough to handle all the AI actors.

GPU/CPU - not enough to handle all the physics/destruction

GPU - Not enough to handle the amount of mesh detail + lighting effects + large view distances

RAM - Not enough to load the high rez textures, nto enough to hold a 1080p frame, not enough to handle the large scale areas.

So no.

No, the first one is more open ended and better graphics.

Ever played Crysis TC?

Crysis 2 is running at sub 30FPS on consoles and it was made around them. Crysis 1 can't happen.

Well. No.

taking in mind the amount of ram in previous console gens was 'lowish' compared to the pc standard of the time, i would say 2 gigs for the next gen consoles. Which is plenty when u take in account the fact they dont have to run an OS tha eats up 700mb of ram.Slayerduckie

Anything less than 4 gigs of RAM in a next gen console would be absolutely dumb. Memory is cheap these days.jeffwulf

The memory available today is cheap, but chances are the next consoles won't be using today's memory.

They would have to rejigger the way the levels work. You'd end up with something similar to farcry2.

Yes Crysis can be done on consoles they could make Crysis on Wii if they want.

Yeah. They'd probably have to downgrade a little, maybe something like this:

But it'd totally work.

Pray_to_me

Not enough RAM

No, they would have to make the levels smaller, or make them into individually loaded-cell blocks, which would defeat the purpose. tagyhag

I think the Wii reference meant he was joking.

It can be ported no prob...the issue is the graphics wont look "maxed out" like if you maxed out the PC version...you would probably get medium graphics in that open world environment....

the question is, would you want to play Crysis 1 on medium??

Probably the most sensible answer you'll find in this whole thread amidst "DUH, its so OLD and KZ beats it" coupled with "NO. Crysis 2 was so consolized porting the first would require making a whole new, worse game with NES graphics in comparison. PC 4 LYFE!"

I do remember a report from GamePro in 2007 before release about how they say a glimpse of Crysis on a TV and with a PS3 controller using a PS3, but it was all they got since they were ushered off. I guess this does make it possible, but at this point Crytek could be working on future projects so I doubt it will happen.

Crysis 1 would have to be entirely redisigned to use cell streaming. Crysis 1 had levels about 1 gb in size and this was loaded into the ram all at once, consoles simply do not have that sort of ram capacity. This is why it would be impossible.

Sure but it wouldn't look as good as Crysis 2 does without a TON of work... it's not a good idea and will never happen.

Not without almost completely gutting the game and turning it into something it's not, no.
