+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted March 2, 2008 Subscriber² Share Posted March 2, 2008 The latest issue of UK magazine, PSW, features an article stating that "it's no secret Crysis is coming to PS3". They explain the upcoming PlayStation 3 version will have aspects of the sequel, and is not a direct port. Let's take a look at the article. "First up, we have Crysis. Now it's no secret that Crysis is coming to PS3 this year. The excitable, hard-worked coders over at Crytek have said as much in many interviews - they've even produced a new, multi-platform engine in readiness - but the real juice here is that it won't be a straight conversion of the PC game. We understand PS3 Crysis will be an almost 50% new game, with many of the original games staff taken off PC Crysis months before release to begin to work on Crysis 2 and a port to PS3 that will include aspects of the sequel - but a new structure, environments, weapons and enemies will feature on PS3. This should be one of the year's biggest console shooters." So, new enemies, environments, and more? Until we get an official confirmation, we are going to label this baby a rumor.

The Teej Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 So, a Crysis 1.5? It's rather convenient that they didn't port the whole game... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corris Veteran Posted March 2, 2008 Veteran Share Posted March 2, 2008 So, a Crysis 1.5?It's rather convenient that they didn't port the whole game... Maybe they want peoples to buy both? I wouldn't be surprised. So you know, have to get the full story, I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to make Crysis run on consoles, well, obviously downgraded, but still able to get the game/story on there in some form.

The Teej Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 That's exactly my point, Corris. I guess it's good for PS3 to secure "an exclusive", but at the same time, it also means PS3 owners will still have to buy the PC version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see that now, I'm off the ball today a bit. :unsure: :p I don't think it will be exclusive though, it does mention a multi platform engine that they have been apparently developing, but since its a Playstation based magazine I doubt they would mention if it was coming to the Xbox360 too.

WelshBluebird Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Considering one the the bits been shown at GDC was the CryEngine 2 running on PS3 and 360, I'd imagine it would come to both Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That review always makes me laugh. :p I guess mine is some alien super computer then, I can run Crysis fine Are we going to have to start adding sarcasm tags to everything?
