How can we get EA to release Crysis 1 on the PSN for purchase & download. I have yet to play it and think that it is an interisting idea.

how bout it, what do the rest of you think.

Personally, I dont see that happening.

But would be cool.

I don't know. if they can God of War 1&2&3 available then why not EA just has to step up and make the move. cause from what i've seen from my friends pc crysis 1 looks way better than crysis 2 campaign wise anyway. and that will give us the full game fealing.

plus I preffer battlefield over COD hence I like crysis 1's multiplayer.

Lets hope they don't let us down..

Because they don't want to put the effort into it. It would take alot of work to get that game to run on a console and I am sure EA doesn't see the money in it.

Also, if you want Crysis 1 on your PS3 because you like it's multiplayer then prepare for disappointment. There is no way power struggle will work on a console.

Well, I've tried but hey if they can't then so be it.

Worth the try though. Still would be cool.

Yay, it would be cool and nice if they could do it. I just don't see it happening.

It would be nice to have Crysis on console, but it's imposible. Crysis was thought without a RAM memory limit so it's imposible in consoles. When I play Crysis in Gamer configuration it uses 1GB of RAM memory... PS3 and Xbox360 only have 256 MB...(well it's not exact but similar. the biggest mistake ever made by Sony and Microsoft) imposible...

It's a pitty, because i'd like to play it in my ps3 too...

Hey guys

Even though I understand what u'r sayin, I still think that it's entirely possible.
Lets look at some of the facts... Yes it only has 256MB RAM and Yes crysis does use untold amounts of RAM but look at some of the other games.

1. Crysis 2 has much better graphics than crysis 1 even though the area you play in is so much smaller.
2. Games such as "Just cause, Far cry 2, and countless others all have huge playing fields or maps but the PS3 has no problem running those, with the same and\or even better graphic quality than the PC version.
3. And at the end of the day Ram is used to process the graphics and input commands. therefore I see what you mean that the ps3 does not have enough, and looking at the above examples of games I still feel that it is entirely possible. If the problem has to do with incorporating the ps3 remote, then I will go and buy me a bluetooth keyboard and mouse to play the game.

Thus the only problem I can see is that if EA does not want to do so. otherwise it can be done.

also here's something for everyone to consider

So I guess weather or not the ps3 has the processing power has been solved.... it does

So I guess weather or not the ps3 has the processing power has been solved.... it does

The processing power was never an issue to people who know what they are talking about. It was always about the RAM.

I think it is possible, but they would have to downscale on ALOT of things and probably have to have loading points occur on a frequency equal to or greater than Half-Life 2.

but does RAM + CPU + GPU not = processing? not just the CPU or the RAM but all the components together.
cause that's what I'm getting at.

If I look at some of the Games released on both PS3 & PC the computer uses way more resources to play the exact same game. I get what your saying about downscaling but do you honestly believe it necesary. Just cause 2 has a huge environment and barely ever loads (also has good graphics), and the same with Far Cry 2. and a couple of others as well.

Considering you think I don't know what I'm saying then explain it to me, cause I don't understand.

check here's the PC requirements for farcry 2:

CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo Family, AMD 64 X2 5200+, AMD Phenom or better
RAM: 2 GB
Video card: NVidia 8600 GTS or better, ATI X1900 or better, 512 Mb of graphic memory
Sound: 5.1 sound card recommended
Supported Video cards:
NVidia 6800, NVidia 7000 series, 8000 series, 9000 series, 200 series. 8800M and 8700M supported for laptops. ATI X1650 – 1950 series , HD2000 series , HD3000 series , HD4000 series .

and the same game runs on the PS3 wich only has 256MB

but does RAM + CPU + GPU not = processing? -> That's wrong You can't add up. The CPU and GPU do process, and the RAM stores the objects and data. If you don't have enough RAM, you can's store data so the processing unit doesn't matter. That′s what let you have bigger maps with lots of objects.

Crysis 2 in consoles isn't as powerful as Crysis, by far. The amount of objects in the levels, bigger levels, phisics quality, textures... are much better in the firt Crysis. And the examples you give... the are seen much better in PC, by far.

OK.OK.

I Give. Sorry was just exited at the prospect.
cause it sounds so Good

I've been thinking this too. Playing C2 always kinda makes me feel like I missed out, and I'd really love to play the first one. But I remember seeing an interview with someone from Crytek who basically explained that it isn't possible because of the RAM limitations. The environments in C1 are too large. The GoW ports are a totally different story.

Would simply be awsome though. So guess I'll have to go buy ma an pc to play it. sad sad sad

And witha bit of work and official software.......

I lol'd at "PS3 has no problem running those, with the same and\or even better graphic quality than the PC version".

Your third point is also laughable, Cevat Yerli said they cannot port it consoles because of the terribly small amount of memory.

I also laugh at the fact that, everyone wants the game on their consoles but no-one has the guts to ask. So thats what I've done. I asked and even though the feedback is negative I still think it can be done. So keep on laughing, and when EA finally releases the game for console...remeber this day

Cevat Yerli said it WAS possible BUT you would have to bubble stream data - like KZ3

By the time they'd figured out a way to do it, it wouldn't be the same game anymore. Kinda like BF3 will be on consoles.

It won't happen they simply wouldn't spare the time or resources, and besides that it would be such a downgrade from the PC version you guys would really miss out.

Also, the radial menu could be implemented, but probably wouldn't work as well as it does on the PC.

..Crysis is a PC game through and through, it was never designed to work on consoles, or appeal to their limitations.

If you want to experience it (which I recommend fully) then consider finding acces to a PC.

yeah, dont expect Crysis1 on console. Since Crysis ask a lot more resource than Crysis2 because of texture quality / POM / field view ( yeah just cause2 provide even on console a hugh field view, but the engine isnt the same and dont really allow that ( saddly ) ) Crysis1 post effect ask a lot of frame compare to the crysis2 one

And crysis2 on console is i guess the lowest graphic setting on pc, and only allow it run at 30fps... hardware limitation.

the only solution would be a crysis map rework with the cryengine3 and HUGE sacrifice to allow a "correct" fps on console.

in a way, drop off your console, find a PC and play Crysis xD

i think that crysis on psn would be a great idea seeming that all the craze with crysis 2 then alot of people will want the first to find out from the sequel

By the time they'd figured out a way to do it, it wouldn't be the same game anymore. Kinda like BF3 will be on consoles.

Part from textures and resolution - oh and smaller number of people on same maps = No difference
And the lighting was designed way before frostbite 2 for PS3 and PC.
Just look at bad company 2 = apart from framerate n textures - No gameplay difference

Crysis 1 wouls be easy to do and not that time consuming - probably be done and hacked by end of summer anyway - If cryengine3 was optimised for console and stream data like kz3 then it wouldnt be a problem.
I say its easy cos all the data is there - so the bulk of work would be tweaks and testing - oh i guess thayll leave that up to us to bug and report on.
Maybe its definately a possiblitly that they would release an unfinished version of crysis 1 on cryengine 3 because of this lol
