Crytek: Crysis 2 performs a bit better on PS3 than Xbox 360

Crytek had to overcome some problematic issues to put CryEngine 3 on consoles, but overcome them they did. Now, with development on Crysis 2 commencing, they’ve found that they’re getting a bit more performance from Sony’s PS3 console compared to the Xbox 360.

Crytek had to overcome some problematic issues to put CryEngine 3 on consoles, but overcome them they did. Now, with development on Crysis 2 commencing, they’ve found that they’re getting a bit more performance from Sony’s PS3 console compared to the Xbox 360.

“At the moment, we’re getting slightly more performance from PS3 compared to 360,” Crytek’s business development boss Carl Jones told PSM3.

That’s not to say the Xbox 360 version is lagging far behind, though. Jones added that products using their new engine “are going to come out as the best looking, or at least in the top three, on every platform.”

Jones also noted that despite the problems other studios have encountered when developing for PS3, Crytek’s experience has been all smooth so far.

“We haven’t found it more difficult to develop for PS3,” Jones said. “We’re lucky in the fact that we’ve come to the generation slightly later than other people – the ones who were trying to build the first technology and games were surprised at how different the PS3 was.

“We took our time and worked out the right way to approach it.”
