Crysis

Anyone getting this?

Granted, it won't be out for a while, but after seeing the videos from E3, is anyone willing to build a super rig to play the game as its meant to be played?

*I'm still praying it hits consoles a couple years down the road*

I'd love to see this on a console, but I believe they said that there was no way either of the new consoles could run it. That's crazy!!

Sounds like a bit of the hype machine at work. All of the sudden this company is advanced beyond everyone else . I don't think so. Its always been small steps with an ocasional jump, never leaps.

Yeah I agree. This nonsense with "next gen consoles cant handle it" is industry political rubbish. Doom III on PC needed 1 gig of ram to run even semi smooth yet the xbox with 64 megs ran it fine. At the time of the game hitting Xbox, the console wasn't even close to the power of a PC, yet it still ran great.

Here we are with next gen consoles that in some respects are better then a modern gaming rig, and they can't run it? Them using Dx10 is a copout. Its a console, its a closed environment for poops sake! take advantage of that!

back to Bryans comment...

Why is there no footage at TGS? Its been almost 5 months since E3 and they couldnt show anything?

I forgot Halflife 2 is on the Xbox and looks and plays good. The latest and greatest running on a console that was started in 1999 and put on shelves in 2001, can run Halflife 2 and Doom 3? And the 360 and ps3 with video cards that are insane cannot run Crysis?

I think someone mentioned that the cpu's couldnt handle the physics. Ummm, learn how to use those cpus and threads and SPEs and youll have a monster of a game running on both consoles!

Forgive me, Im just irritated with this.

I told you guys it was all industry politics!!! Check this out....

Crytek's lead artist, Michael Khaimzon, has revealed that the developer could confidently port highly-anticipated PC title Crysis to PS3 and Xbox 360 - although there are no current plans to do so.

Speaking exclusively to GamesIndustry.biz, Khaimzon said, "I don?t think there would be any problem to convert anything we work on to the next-gen consoles if we decided to.

"We have enough power here, with programmers and artists, to be able to do such a thing. It's just a matter of making the decision."

Khaimzon's comments will only fan the flames of rumour which surround Crysis - a first-person shooter already wowing consumers and critics alike - that publisher Electronic Arts may bring the game to home consoles after release on PC early next year.

Discussing whether the team at Crytek would be interested in working on the next-generation of home consoles, Khaimzon added: "I'm pretty sure it would be interesting for us to do stuff on the PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360.

"We would just have to see how much of a sacrifice to the game we'd have to make. Or whether there would be a sacrifice at all, maybe we could find a way to make the game look exactly the same as it does on PC on the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3."

When asked directly whether there was a possibility that Crysis would appear on home consoles, Khaimzon replied: "There might be, the decision isn't mine to make. I don?t know of any official plans to do so, but I know there are rumours and talk, but I couldn't say anything concrete."

Its good to see they came to their senses. When utilized efficiently, these consoles are more than capable of delivering any game any developer can think up.

I've seen some footage before and it does look amazing, its very slick and pretty to look at but i'd be surprised if they can make there money back on it because it takes half of the NASA computers to run the thing!

It looks like a game I would spend hours in trying to knock down every tree.....Yay!
