CryEngine3 Finally let's Crysis run on consoles!

Crytek, the company that created and makes the Crysis games, has recently achieved technological breakthroughs that will allow NEW Crysis games to run on the Xbox 360 and PS3. Finally the highly acclaimed Crysis series can be brought to consoles.
It should be noted though, that the first two Crysis games Can't be brought to consoles since the game engine they run on doesn't contain the technological breakthroughs that allow such a demanding game to run on hardware as "relatively" low-end as current consoles have. At least not without completely overhauling and reprogramming the older games using the new engine; which I highly doubt will ever happen.

@BuckFastZombie That is a canceled game :(

The games actually does run like that, I have a powerfull PC, and it looks very similar.. You get used to it after a while. It is awesome though. Im wondering where soem of the scenery in that video was from. The forest level looked amazing, is this a new game we can expect!?! Was watching a grraphics demonstration of Halo Reach. It looks very similar too, the graphics look just as good as the videos here.

@Hrel88 yet, the xbox PPC 3x 3ghz compared to the ps3's total of 3.3ghz on all SPE's

i think its funny that still to this day the majority of cross platform titles typically look better on 360 despite all of sonys nonsensical boasting....either way....i hope the finished product looks like this...ive been wanting to play crysis for sooooooo damn long.

Industry. Look up your facts before listing them, and go read that article on anandtech, if you have any interest at all in learning how the PS3 works. Just so were clear, both consoles are awesome, If I didnt' get my 360 for free I wouldn't even have it. The PS3 slim looks really cool, and a 120GB hard drive, with blu ray for that console at 300 bucks is totally fair. Xbox has more games, some say better, sony has some pretty epic games going for it though too. I just dont have much spare time

There was a 1 year difference between consoles. Metal Gear could easily fit on a DVD disk, all you have to do is compress the image files and audio files better/more. They artificially increased the size of that game to make it seem like blu-ray in the PS3 was necessary. (In all likelyhood) Microsoft is a software company, not hardware, their still learning, hopefully they learned from screwing up the reliability of their console, but at least they came through with the best warranty in the...

this isn't a terrible design, and that CPU has LOTS of potential. It's just programmers aren't used to programming that way. The Xbox360 has 3 "Full" cores and each core is multithreaded. So each of the 3 "Full" cores can work on 2 "full" data streams at once. That's how desktop CPU's work too; therefor programmers are used to programming that way. P.S. It's TOTALLY unnecessary to have 50GB or storage on Blue ray, game don't NEED to be over 8.5GB, at least not in DX9; not even fallout 3 was

[Hrel88]

The PS3 being more difficult to program for has NOTHING AT ALL to do with Blu-ray. IT's just a storage format. The reason it's harder to program for is because of the unorthodox, and almost EXCLUSIVELY Sony design of the CPU. (That type of CPU has been tried before and it failed before) The Cell procesor doesn't have 8 cell processors, it has one "main" CPU then either dozens or hundreds of little mini "crippled" CPU's. These little cpu's literally can't handle anything harder than 2+3=5.......

[Hrel88]

the parts are basically the same age, PS3 took longer to get out due to the unorthodox nature of their IBM Cell Processor, and due to the premature state of blue ray at the time. (Xbox has an ATI graphics card in it. Nvidia and Microsoft had issues with the first xbox) There's no question that PS3 is more reliable than Xbox 360, however if you get a new 360, Manufactured after January 2009, it should be just as reliable as any other console, if not more due to the BEST warranty around.

Ps3 Loading that game faster is due to two main reason. 1. ALL PS3's have a built in hard drives. 2. It's a 3.5" hard drive, not a 2.5" like xbox. because every xbox doesn't have a hard drive, game programmers can't cache game data on the hard drive, which increases load times. (That's why Xbox's are so loud, the DVD Drive is ALWAYS spinning MAX speed to help compensate for this.) Also 3.5" HDD's run faster than 2.5" HDD's. (Hard drive disk).
