Suddenly, Crytek thinks next-gen can handle Crysis
Crytek, the dev team behind the high-def super-realistic drool-worthy graphics PC shooter Crysis, said in August that next-gen consoles Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 didn’t have what it takes to handle those high def super-realistic drool-worthy graphics. Now, they say there’s absolutely no problem porting Crysis to the consoles.
Crytek lead artist Michael Khaimzon says, “I donÂ’t think there would be any problem to convert anything we work on to the next-gen consoles if we decided to.” Except that so far, they haven’t decided yet.
On the other hand, he also mentioned the word “sacrifice.” As in: “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.” (Hmm. Hedging their bets, thinking that what they said in Leipzig was correct after all?)
To recap, it’s a tale of three “no’s”:
- They have NO PROBLEM porting Crysis to the 360 and the PS3,
- They have NO IDEA if Xbox 360 and PS3 graphics will be the same drool-inducing pics from the PC version – or not, and
- They currently have NO PLANS to port Crysis to the 360 and PS3.
Or maybe they’re planning to drop us a surprise present for Christmas or next year. Who knows? At least they could port it if they wanted to. And all it takes is a decision (Now make us some hot tropical island girls to go with the hot tropical island setting of the game, Michael! All it takes is a decision!).
