No Crysis on next-gen consoles

Apparently you can forget what was said before about Crysis and it’s presence on next-gen hardware, because although they considered it, Crytek, developers of Crysis, won’t port the game to consoles, at least for the time being.

ComputerAndVideoGames.com spoke with Cevat Yerli, CEO of Crytek, about the possibility of a PS3 or 360-powered Crysis, to which he replied: “It crossed our minds, but we’re sticking with PC.” Confusing, as the rumors surrounding a console Crysis were circulating heavily just a few weeks ago, so Yerli’s death blow to them comes quite as a surprise.

But remember this is an EA-published title we’re talking about, and they sure as hell won’t let an AAA-title like Crysis miss out on console revenues, just like Ubisoft is currently milking the Far Cry franchise. So, even in a worst case scenario, you should expect something along the lines of Crysis Instincts Predator on PS3 and Xbox 360 at some point.
