More Crysis Console Rumours

Again the rumour flames are being fanned with speculation of the monster PC title Crysis heading to consoles.

Unless you've recently been born, you'll know that the proprietary tech - CryEngine 2 - is the engine behind Crysis.

A select GDC audience will witness CryEngine 2 running on Xbox 360 and PS3, news which has already set our speculation (and common sense) hats in a twirl.

Surely this is indication that Crysis is definitely console bound? Well, maybe.

Crytek's never said outright that its first-person shooter is heading to console, however it's not been afraid to discuss such hypothetically.

In October last year it revealed that a positive reception of the PC game would urge it to seriously consider delivering console versions.

"In order to make Crysis's gameplay [on console] you would have to make a derivative Crysis and optimise it for the Xbox 360 and PS3. In fact, if we do it, we'll optimise it for each platform", Crytek boss Cevat Yerli said at the time.

Recently, rumour that a 'Crysis 1.5' is in development for PS3 was doing the rounds.

Anyway, while the display of CryEngine 2 on PS3 and Xbox 360 will be restricted at GDC, the public gets to see "how well the fully optimised" engine can run on a PC costing around $600 - and that, folks, is complete with a keyboard and mouse!

The Cryengine is superb and i will be awaiting the demonstration videos of it running on the consoles.

After watching the short video of Far Cry 2 running on consoles i cant wait to see this running on them. Hope Crysis does indeed come to consoles at some point, in all its glory and not watered down.

Yeah man it look so interactive with everything and so like.. PURE!
Hard to explain.. you know?

Yeah its a Beast of a Game it would be totally awesome on 360! and do like Xbox live battles.. i just had an orgasm.. hahaha

It would be awesome if Crysis did get ported to the Xbox 360. It means I wouldn't have to save up for an Alienware PC just to be able to play it...

But could the 360 handle it?

That is the question, we don't want some crappy downgraded version here, like Sony does for the PS2 with next-gen titles.

Id say its capable of running it to a degree, maybe not with the DirectX10 detail like the PC and such but i think we would be happy with its look.

As long as it runs OK I don't care for less detail, I just want it to run fine... Framerate issues and the like is what I am afraid of.

Well Bioshock didnt have a problem with rendering, Crysis is far more open and detailed in areas though. Id say that it shouldnt struggle too much with it, might be a good challenge for the developers.

Nah i reckon the 360 can handle it.. hopefully..
But i mean i can't see it now handling it.. if you know what i mean..

They probably wait a couple of months mostly likely more then release it to 360.
