Console Crysis was 'inevitable'

Console gamers have been waiting years for Crytek's Crysis series to make its long-awaited living room debut. At last week's Electronic Entertainment Expo, Electronic Arts announced that the German developer's signature series would arrive in stores for the PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3 as part of the EA Partners program. Crytek CEO and president Cevat Yerli and EA Partners GM David DeMartini spoke with GameSpot after the announcement, with Yerli explaining the reasons behind the developer's multiplatform move.

i was feeling left behind.
I had to run crysis n warhead on the lowest settings.
I'm glad I wont have to sacrifice much 4 Crysis 2 since my console will do the heavy lifting :D ps3/360 ftw!

PS: please dont kill my bubbles for saying ps3/360 ftw.. i mean really.. i'll change :( dont kill me

Crysis 2 on the consoles will be about the equivelent of running Crysis on medium settings at 1280 x 720.

(Judging by the tech demos)

Pandamobile6176d ago

It doesn't take much to run Crysis on high.

If you can afford a 360 and PS3, you can afford a $140 9800 GTX or Radeon 4850...

WildArmed6176d ago

lol i can't afford a 140$ gfx card.
It just isn't justifiable to me lol

irish-leprecaun6176d ago

rob a really expensive computer!!

glennc6176d ago

i'm happy that us console owners will get to enjoy the crysis franchise

Pandamobile6176d ago (Edited 6176d ago )

You obviously haven't played the game.

When I first played this I had a crap PC. Low-medium settings looked pretty bad but even without the graphics, Crysis was a fantastic game. Why do you think it was critically acclaimed?

@Svk007

Even a $90 GPU will do fine. That's less than the price of two games.

Playing it right now looks amazing! :D
so much fun, i hope they make a vr mod for crysis 2 / 3 too!

DivineHand125468d ago

This is amazing. This is the direction VR should go in to boost adoption. Since I have beaten every Crysis except 1, this is now a good excuse to correct that problem.

Crytek Wanted Crysis To Be "Future-Proof"

According to Crytek CEO Cervat Yerli, "I want[ed] to make sure Crysis does not age, that [it] is future proofed, meaning that if I played it three years from now, it should look better than today." Yerli and the team designed Crysis' highest graphical settings for the PC hardware of 2010 and beyond.

While Crytek has officially announced Crysis 4 is in development, nothing new has surfaced. For now, gamers' only way to scratch that itch is to play the Crysis Remastered Trilogy available on PC and consoles.

OG 2007 Crysis (not the remastered weirdo), is & will forever be a legend amongst the PC community.

PrinceOfAnger473d ago

This video will always be impressive to me, even for years to come. Some things here are better than games we have today, OG crysis is the best version!

RaidenBlack472d ago

OG Crysis physics, man ... amazing! Thanks for the reminder!

PrinceOfAnger472d ago (Edited 472d ago )

Looks really nice with VR mod too

FinalFantasyFanatic472d ago

I'm still shocked that it looks as good as it does today, puts some modern games to shame.

Profchaos471d ago

I thought the remaster was fine tbh some rough edges at launch but after some patches it's decent

I mean the lighting and physics still hold up extremely well. I still revisit it from time to time.

RedDeadLB472d ago

That CPU performance thing is preventing it.

isarai471d ago

Yeah unfortunately Crystek's decision to bet on the linear progression of clock speed in CPUs was derailed by the unforseen shift towards multicore CPUs. It just wasn't built with that in mind because that wasn't even in the conversation at the moment

DivineHand125472d ago

I remember when I tried to play Crysis with my Intel Pentium Dual core E2200 @2.2GHz , 4GB ram and GeForce 9400gt. I was a kid back then and that was the best I could do. I would get about 15 to 20 fps. When I over clocked the CPU to 2.8GHz I would get about 40fps. The experience wasn't good at all and it was the only PC game I could not run back then unless and put the settings on low. At that point the game went from cutting edge graphics to PS2 graphics. To this day I haven't completed the OG Crysis. I was able to complete Crysis 2 and 3 after building a new PC when I got my first job.

HyperMoused472d ago

Never played it, worth a try you think?

Profchaos471d ago (Edited 471d ago )

Worth a try just because it's the only game that lets you pick up a turtle on the beach and throw it at enemy soldiers that should have been a back of the box feature.

But nah seriously unless you're nostalgic for it I'm not sure if it will hold up
