from what i understand, crysis as-is would be impossible on consoles. if you really want crysis, get a good pc.

Don't worry console owners, you aren't missing much. It's the type of game where you get the really good computer and wanna see what a great game looks like on it, so you install Crysis and play it for 10 minutes, say "yaaay, Crysis, good graphics", then put away and never play again. There are much better shooters out there, both for PC and for consoles.death919
Interesting! Naturally, I wonder what you say to all the reviews on many different sites that rated the 'game' AAA?

Crysis = paid exclusive

It'll be on Xbox eventually, it has more than enough power since the resolution would be under 720p.

Maybe you should actually look into what makes crysis a great game. You simply cant just downgrade it. Did you even read any of this thread???

It wouldn't be unplayable, but just have everything go at a smaller resolution.

I already made a post where I talked about how a level such as Assault or Onslaught could not be done on consoles lol. But you consolites seem to love ignorng inconvinient posts like that :lol: I asked some pretty simple questions. Do you understand that levels such as those define what makes Crysis = crysis, right? You cannot scale down a huge battle into a small one because it becomes a different game, in the same way Call of Duty 4 is a different game. You cannot keep the areas large and say scale down the stuff going on because the game then becomes empty or repetitious like Far Cry 2 or GTA4 worlds. Never mind graphics, if you scale anything else down in the game, sure it might still have the name Crysis but it won't be the game everyone knows as Crysis lol.

I concur. A game with "Crysis" in it's name can be done on console.

Crysis and Crysis Warhead however can not. Changing anything or toning them down would mean they're a differet game. End.

Among many other things what that OP didn't get was all the things he wanted to tone down while keeping where crysis shined, well the things being toned down was the things that made crysis shine.

Hmm. I commend you. This is what we have been saying the whole time but people keep ignoring it. If you take away what makes crysis crysis. Then its not crysis at all.

A simple reason would be the fact that crysis needs about 1200mb when playing.

why would anyone buy a game stripped of the pc version physics ,textures and just plain good looks...i think the games on consoles look bad enough as it is( to explain this point i'll just say that it kills immersion for me when i see some terrible texture out of the blue in a game thats trying to look great...)

Same reason why people prefer Consoles over PC, whether its Money or just personal taste...(controller, HDTV, etc) Besides, the consoles version would still look great and for some that's GOOD ENOUGH.
