Crysis Confirmed For 360 (Not Any More)

The big news first is the PC game Crysis is coming to the 360. However, that PC game won’t be the same game as what we will see on the home console. Because Crysis will be running at DirectX10, the game would look inferior since the 360 can only do DirectX9 (as mentioned before). So, the developers are using the same universe that the PC game is set in, with some similar story elements, but the gameplay will be entirely different. The developers told the 1UP guys that they weren’t even going to try and replicate Crysis. This would be because the PC version will be running so much more stuff that the 360 couldn’t handle, and would be disappointing. They stated that the game needs to run deeper, with the physics and world needing to be constructed differently. They admitted that the 360 version may not be as “wow” as the PC version in terms of graphics. It’s not a port in any way, so if you bought both versions, you would still get two different experiences with the game. The developers Crytek are the same developers responsible for FarCry, so we could see a game similar (but hopefully better) to that.

There will be a big debate no doubt between the PC fanboys and the 360 fanboys about this one. Everyone knows that the Crysis on the PC will look stunning on a top end PC. But can the console version be just as good, even if it doesn’t look anywhere near as pretty? Only time will tell, but graphics don’t make everything. This confirms earlier rumblings last year of a possible port, although as already mentioned, it’ll be a different game. Skip to the 22:30 mark on the 1UP podcast to hear the chatter about the 360 version.

At least the game is out on the 360 thats the main point, and i imagin the 360 peeps will be playing a better looking version then the average PC gamer on their rig.

I woulder how much the game play will change and why?

LOL I love the guys comment - Graphics are not everything.....

Does a forum rewind to graphics comparisons and the "wow" factor of the 360.

Is this backpeddling because Microsoft shot themselves in the foot with DX10.

I may buy it but call it a gut feeling, I think this could be overhyped just like Black was but we'll have to wait and see.

If this ends up being just a graphical upgrade of FarCry, you still have one hell of a great game.

Nope it not coming out.

We hope we aren't disappointing anyone, but contrary to any rumours that may be in circulation, neither Crytek nor any third parties are currently engaged in developing Crysis for console platforms. Our company's sole focus at this time is to complete Crysis for PC as well and as quickly as possible, so we can release it in a timely fashion to all who have shown such a strong interest in playing our game, while insuring we meet the high quality of game play they have come to expect.

Oh well

It'll probably be overrated anyway. Bring on UT2K7.
