Rumor: Xbox 360 to get Crytek's Crysis in Nov

It seems like the rumor mill is spinning away at full steam lately, so it should come as no surprise that today's juicy rumor involves Crytek's Crysis coming to the Xbox 360 later this year. And, here we go ...The Crysis headed to the Xbox 360 rumor just started when a member of the inCrysis forums came across Austrian online gaming store Gamesonly.at's pre-order listing for Crysis on the Xbox 360. The listing has Crysis slated for a 360 release later this year on November 20th and even goes as far as to call it the "uncut edition". Does Austrian retail know more than we do about Crysis or is it simply a listing error on their end? And what about Crysis running on the 360. We thought Crytek was so proud that the game's physics and graphics were too advanced to run on consoles? Hmm, we seem to have created more Crysis questions than we actually answered. Oops.

Yea THIS would make me pull my 360 back out for a while. Doubtful, but a dude can dream can't he?

Quite honestly TP, no one could even care any less whether or not you play your 360, or worship your PS3 while swallowing Sony's sausage.
Just play and enjoy what the hell you want and quit trolling.
TORO @ Jan 3rd 2008 12:54PM
Lol, yea don't come back here TP you tool.

I can totally see this game coming to the 360 since it only sold like 250,000 copies or so. It looks like a great game....just have to have a supercomputer to run it.
TUBATYE @ Jan 3rd 2008 10:58AM
scratch that!@!@! 80,000 copies....that's horrible. it definitely needs the 360 user base to make up for the horrible PC sales, and us 360'ers love to spend da money!!
Platinum_Skeet @ Jan 3rd 2008 2:24PM
Hopefully they spend a ton of time to pull out all the power of the 360 to make this game look good. Because if it doesn't it won't be worth the buy...

To run it on the 360, they'll have to optimize the shaders and dumb down some graphical feats, while improving graphics that the 360 is strong in, ala Far Cry for consoles. The graphics in those were a lot worse than the PC version in my opinion, but you had MUCH better looking water so people just assumed the consoles had better.

Watch, as your Xbox 360 emits fireworks!
Doom3killer @ Jan 3rd 2008 11:07AM
A 360 can run Crysis, just at low settings
wickedpheonix @ Jan 3rd 2008 11:07AM
Well it's definitely possible due to poor PC sales and relatively easy portability (after dumbing down the graphics, esp. since its supposedly easy to do PC360 ports), but really why would anyone care? After the graphics are dumbed down it isn't going to be anything special, the graphics will be something like COD4's graphics in terms of quality and there will be a ton of games out there with better gameplay.
Crysis was a tech-demo to show off the possible power of a high-end PC system, nothing more.

good and bad news i think - be great if it was exclusive but might not be since EA is publisher, however i believe farcry was XBOX only (i think).
I agree this game undersold because its catered for people on the bleeding edge of technology who would require a PC in the region of $4g's (off the shelf ignoring DIY PC building). A X360 release would put this game in ALOT of homes which would offset the HIGH dev costs for wat is a fantastic title.
For me however, even though i love my X360 - i cant help but prefer to play FPS on the PC - hang on why do i own sooo many FPS on my X360 then ;-)
Cal @ Jan 3rd 2008 11:20AM
Meh, I didn't like the demo and won't be buying the game.
Larry @ Jan 3rd 2008 11:22AM
It would definitely help the sales of the game but it has to deliver graphically over COD4. If the gameplay isn't as great on the console as it Infinity Ward counterpart, it will flouder in sales like Timeshift. I hope this port does occur.
peeweejd @ Jan 3rd 2008 11:38AM
I played the game at my brothers house for a little while. I thought it sucked.
LuckyEMS @ Jan 3rd 2008 11:43AM
why does everyone rave about CoD4 graphics
am i the only who think they suck
TORO @ Jan 3rd 2008 11:49AM
Yes.
LuckyEMS @ Jan 3rd 2008 11:54AM
i got told they were amazing
No. Crysis is amazing
CoD4 is just average. Apprently Wetwork is really nice because of the water. Ive seen better water on the Xbox 1 actually GTA 3 has better water. The gameplay is good and its a fun game its just not that graphically amazing.
TORO @ Jan 3rd 2008 12:57PM
I answered your question, my answer didn't require a response.
LuckyEMS @ Jan 3rd 2008 2:07PM
niether did mine
enero @ Jan 3rd 2008 2:30PM
I'm a total COD4 fanboy, but I'd have to agree, COD4 graphics are average to poor.
DjDATZ @ Jan 3rd 2008 4:11PM
Are you a n00b at the English language? You asked 2 questions in your original comment.
petersjov @ Jan 3rd 2008 11:45AM
Hmm, where are all TRUE FANBOYS... ??, Yes, I belive Crysis could easy run on the xbox 360 hardware ...EASY!! - we will not go into details, but face it - Crysis was not built to run on a triple-core-xbox-360-awesomeness.. It was built to run on a (P)ersonal(C)rap *S* , so of couse it can run in full texture hd xbox glory !! - just try an use that programming skill *S*
LuckyEMS @ Jan 3rd 2008 11:54AM
i hope your being sarcastic
you know Very High on crysis isnt the top one they have ultra high as well which is what was used on the E3 06 demo
Loban @ Jan 3rd 2008 11:56AM
This is no surprise. It sold terribly on the PC due to the high hardware requirements, so it's no surprise that they're looking to put it on the consoles to make the money it deserves. The 360 will have no problem running Cyrsis as long as they optimize it properly.
saylorsgang @ Jan 3rd 2008 12:06PM
Can you imagine how many 360's this could sell, It would be Halo who? I wish more PC games would be released for consoles, for the retards like myself who can't play games with a keyboard.
dionfyre @ Jan 3rd 2008 12:11PM
Crysis on a 360? Sorry, but I love the 360 but there is not a chance Crysis could run on it anything like how it runs on a high spec machine. The difference in computing and graphical power between pc and 360 is immense. If it were to come on the 360 it would have to be cut down drastically texture wise (it uses 768mb texture memory at higher resolutions way more than the 360 can cope with). also the physics would need to be toned down a hell of an amount due to the raw processing power devoted to it - which is handled by dual and quad cores on the pc.
Yes they can optimise and cutdown but it would be shadow of the pc version - though may well be very impressive in its own right
petersjov @ Jan 3rd 2008 12:33PM
I tried Crysis at my brothers, and i can only say, it looks like fun, but no better that many 360 games... - you have the same textures, the same models, sames maps - it could, and would look the same on 360, and ps3 - ohh with a little tweeeeaaaaking *S*
And i pretty sure not many 3d game engines, run on more that one core, yes maybe your os, tries .....
But next-gen console engine could easy run a "crysis" game, think battlefield bad company
Big Filth @ Jan 3rd 2008 12:50PM
that would be cool. The game looks like fun, plus you can pick people up by their throat.
Picking people up by the throat FTW!!!
xFenixKnightx @ Jan 3rd 2008 12:50PM
Can I pre-order NOW!!!! Huh huh huh?!!! lol! Man I hope this is true =) Squeeze the power from the 360 baby squeeze!!!
Adam @ Jan 3rd 2008 1:11PM
I must admit I've not actually played Crysis but I've watchd my mates dad play it on his Quad-core £stupid system and it looked... alright...
For a game that requires that much guts I expect it to look like I'm watching a damn film not looking at a bog standard next gen FPS, blown away I was not so I'm really not fussed if it comes to 360.
Steve Beeching @ Jan 3rd 2008 1:45PM
It could run fine on the 360, Crysis at its core is really a DX9 game, 360 is running DX9 and a bit. Crysis with decent settings on DX9 runs pretty well, DX10 at the moment is screwing everything up.
Chain @ Jan 3rd 2008 1:58PM
I think allot of you are failing to take note that the high system requirements don't relate exclusively to the aesthetics. The point of Crysis was the advanced physics. Just look at the Youtube videos with 3000 barrels or thousands of crates. I know the 360 couldn't run the DX10 features but I see no reason why they couldn't port this game and make it look decent with DX9 features on the 360. I'm a little disappointed that the released product doesn't match the Uber physics they showcased in some of the tech demo videos, but its progress.
Trekster_Gamer @ Jan 3rd 2008 4:18PM
If there was ever a game to prove the graphics ability of a console it would be this game. Crysis has really raised the bar for the PC gaming arena, if they can even come close to making this look anywhere near the PC's look then that would sell a lot of 360's. I hope they squeeze every bit of power out of the mighty 360, I would love to play it!
john paul @ Jan 3rd 2008 8:04PM
though it wont have as good graphics on the 360 (than the pc)it will obviously have one of the best graphics you've seen in a a console game for a while right?
think optimistically:)
