Rumor: Crysis for PS3 adds more
Category: PlayStation 3, Posted: 03/03/2008 at 05:04PM CST by Demetri Kouvalis, Features Editor
Did you know that Crysis is coming to the PS3? I didn't either, but according to the latest issue of UK magazine 'PSW', "it's no secret Crysis is coming to PS3". Right, well until we get further confirmation I am going to label this a nice little rumor. Here is what the article says:
"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."
Ok well, according to the magazine it won't be a feature but not a port either. It will contain the contents of the original with 50% extra content, which if true sounds great. New structures, environments, weapons and enemies all sound really good. I have no doubt that the PS3 can handle a game like Crysis, I'm just waiting for an official announcement that this is in fact true before I get too excited.

50% more game? When the true potential of the PC version won't be realized by systems for another year, or so? I find this to be hard to believe, yeah...
I'm pretty sure that to port Crysis, the engine would need a lot of work doing, and i doubt Crytek would rip apart Cryengine2 just so they can port it.
Hopefully it won't be as buggy as the PC version.
Wasn't FarCry 2 supposed to be on consoles as well? Surely Crytek has been working on CryEngine for PS3/360 for a while. I think it's just a matter of polishing it up, getting performance up, and porting the content. They'd be fools to keep their huge investment PC-exclusive with today's market (consoles vs. pc).
for as powerful as the ps3 is maybe the game could be running at full power
Hopefully they'll give us PC players at least some of that "new game", but somehow I doubt it. :/
Oh well, great game anyways.
