Crytek boss: console Crysis rests on PC version’s success

Crysis - Image 1Even though he thinks console shooters are still “at the level of PC shooters 5-6 years ago”, Crytek boss Cevat Yerli did give those wishing to play Crysis on consoles some hope. Here’s a quote from Yerli during a recent interview with Game Informer:

…first we want to see how the game is received, publicly and critically, ratings wise, et cetera. We believe it will be received at least as strong as Far Cry. I hope personally a 5% average increase… That would give us an argument to, “OK, let’s see how we can bring Crysis to consoles.”

If they ever do get to make a console version of the game, Yerli assured gamers that nothing would change apart from the controls. “If we would bring it to console we would keep the sophistication,” he said. “We would just make it so people could play it with the joypad and that it would be a great time. We would not dumb down the experience.”

“The AI and our gameplay dynamic is our heart,” Yerli added. “We can’t change that. If you change that, you lose Crysis.”
