ESRB Rates Crysis for 360, PS3

Consoles could always run crysis, just not 'crysis'.
Expect medium settings - high shaders and very low textures at 30fps 720p, which is still ok. High or Very high is still completely impossible on console, consoles don't evolve over time, they're just as 'powerful' now as they were in 2007.
Important thing though: You guys better buy the game more than you did for crysis 2 (assuming it's a direct PC port) otherwise we'll just end up mediocre turd like crysis 2 instead of awesome sauce that is crysis 1.
P.S. It'll still be a lot easier to just buy a PC to enjoy crysis properly
Hell, the new A8 fusion chips will run it on high at 1680x1050 in a $500 notebook that'll be sold in places like tesco and walmart. But regardless, it is an old game now, so hardly anything to be excited about. The game wasn't graphically ground breaking on medium in 2007, and it's the medium settings console will get.

So consoles are finally going to get a watered-downed version of Crysis after 4 almost 5 years of it's official release.
Not to be mean, but anyone who thinks the console version is going to have the Ultra-High quality as a high-end PC is fooling themselves.

Your avatar fits perfectly for this.Locko96 said:
OT: I plan on getting a new computer in the near future, so I'll probably just it for cheap for that.
The problem is, game itself wasn't very good. Later sections where you fight aliens are simply shit. Thing is they looked gorgeous.imnotparanoid said:
Also think about price you're willing to pay. It's a game released in 2007. It's worth $10. If you're generous and go crazy over any shooter that has open world maps.
I honestly hope Crytek butchers the hell out of it to get it running on consoles. That way we won't be as angry at Cevat douchebag for turning the sequel into console trash.
If not, and it is faithful to the original, then the console fanbase will get to see just how nerfed Crysis 2 was, and how lame Crytek is.

I think prophet may up the games rating a bit. "I'm going to ****ing kill that mother-******" Can't wait to have a go at the original Crysis anyway.
I'm just glad that more people get to play it!imnotparanoid said:
I think it needs to surpass the reputation it has as an outdated benchmarking tool. That said, the graphics will be worse on the consoles so the experience will be utterly ruined
Cannot decide whether to snip or not. Anyway, it is only if you believe the PC elitist stereo-type that a lot of commentators (like bob and yatzee) are trying to push, that you would be surprised by the posts above.imnotparanoid said:
Completely agree with the above comments, the more the merrier. Now if you want an elitist response, you would need to talk about Crysis 2 as now with the DX 11 patch and things like tessellation, you are quite likely to have PC people pleased to tell you how much better looking it is than the DX 9 console version.
PC owners have never been up in arms about titles that first appeared on the PC going to other platforms. It usually happens that a title can only be able to be played on a PC of the time, but than can be played on consoles when the next generation comes out. No-one bats an eyelid. The only response you may get is a bit of pride that the game is only available on the PC due to the console hardware of the time not being capable. It is a completely different setup to the exclusive system with the console market, which is an artificial restriction.
'PC only' for a is always only a temporary state as sooner or later (depending on new hardware etc) it will be available on consoles, that is unless the game is pants and no-one wants to release it on consoles.
What is so interesting about this is that it is rare for a game judged to need more than the consoles of the time can give to sit have the game released for them rather than for the next gen. But then it has been a much longer than normal generation, so the engine technology may have been able to deliver rather than needing new hardware.
Anyway it will be fascinating to see what materialises. And please stop buying into stereo-types.
