Crysis coming to PS3, not direct port of PC game?

We’ve heard this one before: Crysis may come to the Sony PlayStation 3. But UK gaming magazine PSW Magazine has something new to add to that rumor, and we can’t help but drool once we read the juicy tidbit the magazine had to offer. Read about it in the full article.

Non-PC gamers who want to take a shot at Crytek‘s Crysis may possibly get their wish. According to an article snippet published in UK’s PSW Magazine, Crysis will be released on Sony‘s PlayStation 3 console. Do read the excerpt of the article below and judge for yourself:

The excitable, hard-worked coders over at Crytek have said as much in many interviews – they even produced a new, multi-platform engine in readiness – but the real juice here is that it wont be a straight conversion of the PC game.

We understand PS3 Crysis will be almost 50% new game with many of the original game staff taken off PC Crysis months before release to begin 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.

Sounds exciting, yes? The rumor of Crysis coming to the Sony PS3 may be old news to some, but hearing about the PS3 version which could possibly be a new game is quite new. Of course, since this is just a rumor you will need to take this tidbit with a grain of salt, and wish that we’re going to have an official confirmation coming straight from the the developers themselves, soon.
