Why can't 360 run a game like Crysis?

Because the levels are miles across. RL miles.

Of course the 360 could run Crysis... ALthough it'll look very bland compared to the PC Version. I magine if it looked similar to COD4. OhSnapitz

If they kept the open world it would probably look worse than CoD4. Oblivion chugs on consoles and doesn't have 10% of the stuff going on that Crysis does, especially in terms of physics and post-processing.

Well Obviously they'd have to chop the levels up... But it could be done.. Infact don't be surprised when it is done... ;)

But I must say those Crysis gameplay picks are breathtaking... I can't imagine the 360 doing that (to that level) unless it had some sort of hidden powa..

Honestly, Crytek has given really self-contradictory comments on whether the next-gen consoles would be able to run Crysis.

Sometimes they can't, other times they're considering porting....

it would be dumbed down

360 was developed with 2004-2005 tech

could the best commercially available comp run crysis with 2004 specs?

meaning a 3ghz or so P4, 1gbram with an average 256 card?

It's missing the processing power (the CPU power), the RAM memory (360 only has 512MB), it's missing a GPU powerful enough, and the shared RAM cannot even hold most of the textures. When I checked on low settings, it took up 640MB.AIH_PSP

The cpu in the 360 is not whats holding back the 360, a more powerful gpu would help but the main reason is RAM!!!!

I am actually a firm believer that the 360 would be able to run Crysis.

I remember on the First Xbox games like Doom, Half Life 2, Far Cry, and Chronicles of Riddick pushed the system itself

to new boundarys so why can't Crysis do the same thing for 360 and PS3?

I mean I'm not saying that the game will look nearly as good as it can on my gaming rig or anyone elses for that matter, but

it would be cool to see the tricks developers use to make the game look as visually appealing as possible while pushing both

consoles to their limits.

It's a win win for both gamers and developers in my eyes because developers will be able to optimize their ports better and

console gamers get to experience the awesomeness that is Crysis!

Dude my PC ran the Crysis demo on medium settings and I only have 1gb of Ram. Of course I only got around 15fps but still the 360 is more powerful then my PC using a 7600.

Well the 360 only has 512mb of ram and the 7600 is a budget gpu (no where near high-end).

The Ram in Consoles like the 360 is like 1-1.5gb of Ram on the PC.

Someone sig this.

I think it could run it, lots of tweaking of course, the huge environments wouldn't be a problem(remember Just Cause?) encounters might need to be scaled back. Gameplay would still be intact. Harbadakus

the enviroment in Crysis is much much more detailed and complex than in Just Cause.

this same thing happened to Farcry...when they ported it..they had to make it into a linnear shooter.

what are the highest settings you can run on Crysis with at least 30-40 fps ??

Yes they should. 360's ram does not equal to 1 or 1.5 gb of ram on pc... Wtf is 1.5 gb??? There's no such thing!!! OS3 3DO you dont have enough information about CPU to say a 360 is strong then a pc with 7600. a GPU is only as good as it's CPU. GPUs(Gcard) only relieves stress(Data flow) off the CPU and a bag a chips. a 7600 is stronger then the 360s Graphic card. 360 is a xenon,somewhere from 2004. 7600 is from late 2005(if i am correct). 360 only has 512mb of ram...

thats 800 MB of system ram, thats not including video Ram...

the consoles have 512 MB of system+GPU....

your just not gonna get that to fit right...and just like with farcry...the size of the level will have to be scaled back consistantly...

Crytek has stated this themselves.

someone should photoshop the crysis cover art onto a 360 game case, and make the character look all blurry with jagged edges! :lol:

it should also have an "requires HDD storage" message on the case, saying "what, you don't have one? HA HA HA HA HA HA!"

Does anyone know the lowest amount of ram windows xp can use?michael098

*edit*

sorry was thinking about Vista.

Does anyone know the lowest amount of ram windows xp can use?michael098

128MB. Though 64MB is supported.

Do you know how to get it that low?

Listen all I'm reading about is the RAM the 360/PS3 have access too and to a certain extent that's true, 512 MB is not

a lot considering how much RAM itself Crysis requires to run on minimal settings but if I'm not mistaken your talking about 2

totally different architectures when talking about PC and 360 itself (Exclude PS3 because of development diffucultys)

360 is a machine thats built to run games, PC is built to run programs of different types, not gaming specifically.

360 still wouldn't be able to run Crysis with all the bells and whistles but can it still run it? I believe so.

run "msconfig" and disable as much un-needed crap as possible.

http://www.processlibrary.com/

this website has a program that helps you tell which programs are needed, and which arent.

Windows also has problems managing memory...

this program will clear your Ram every time you run it, and helps performence.

Actually you have a bit more memory than you think, your 7600 gives you an extra 256 mbs of video memory, the X360 has 512 mbs total memory. This is a game that will eat up a gig of ramif allowed toplus whatever video memory you have on hand, it's unlikely that any console would be able to handle Crysis in it's current form.

I think i misunderstood your question. 128 is the lowest RAM amount you can have availiable where Windows can be installed. If you have more, Windows will use more of it. You cant forcibly lower Window's RAM use to those levels - if you do you'll get worse performance out of it instead of better.

There are apps and utilities like those mentioned above that can lower it by a decent amount, yet still give you the same performance using Windows.
