and theres more reports on the net, plus my mate overseas in the gaming industry confirms it, CRYTEK IS BRINGING CRYSIS "1" OUT ON XBOX 360! -.- WHAT THE F***, so much for crytek and pc exclusitivity, my mate didnt confirm PS3 ,but he did confirm xbox....

what the hell guys....

what do the pc fans think... :\

Ask yourself this question.
Why do you care? The fact that its getting released on consoles DOES NOT affect you, or your ability to play the game on PC at all.
So lets hear your "infinite wisdom" and wonderful reasoning, I'm sure it'll be worth a few chuckles.

Well if it comes out on consoles, what's so bad about that? That way more people can enjoy it. No idea how it can run though

Its not coming to consoles. They dont have enough RAM to load the terrain into memory.

But hey, this will give crytek more money for crysis 3. However, I sincerely hope crytek won't be the one porting it and it will be written everywhere so people know, because no doubt it will not receive good reviews, and major reviewers will call the game "too old for 2011" "if it were to be released in 2008 it could of been a great game", which definitely wont help their reputation and everthing can happen afterwards. :/

Whatever happens in the world of egssbox and PS3.6 is of no concern to me but I will be interested to see how they can scale the game down enough to fit.

I don't see how Crysis 1 being ported to consoles can be considered a bad thing. As ToastPwnU pointed out, a port to consoles for a game has no impact on you.

As for the terrain and all, they'll use Cryengine 3 and restructure it so there are more smaller levels, but will hopefully not trim things too much.

What does it matter? I'm a hardcoe PC gamer but I'm thrilled the console players will get to enjoy Crysis 1. The more the better so long as the PC community doesn't suffer because of it and it doesn't in this case. Crysis 2 however....

Crytek will probably use cryengine 3 to scale it for the consoles. I remember seeing images of the island from crysis 1 in some cryengine 3 tech demos. This is a great thing for the crysis franchise if it is true, because that means console gamers will be able to experience the story and thus crysis 3's story could actually have more connections to crysis 1 because there wont be any new audience.

Let the console kiddies have their version of crysis 1 with crappy textures limited vision distance and lod etc.........
The ps3 could look better then the x360 cause of its better hardware but I think they will use the "least common multiple" way ^^

If you just represent trees with a few thousand less polygons and do away with throwing chickens, fence in the sprawl a bit, cheapen up the assets..... why not? Yes it'll be done in Cryengine 3... thats what its for. The only thing that'll bug me for a moment is if they manage to do a proper C1 nanosuit and its a huge hit. That would seem, somehow, unfair.

More power to 'em, sez I.

sorry guys, i didnt mean to come out as blunt as i did, its just that Crysis 1 was something that i was proud of to be a pc exclusive, most of our exclusives are **** according to my opinion (but that is MY opinion)

and crysis was one that i felt proud to brag about that the console kiddies couldnt have, but they **** get everything, it really bugs me, it never did until i recently looked into all this porting and ****, and how the xboxers get all the optomised ****, then its ported to ps3 and pc, and thats only "sometimes pc"

it just feels to me that crytek has sold us out with crysis 1 now as well, plus they said "crysis 1 could never be done on consoles" and now they are going to put in some effort and put it on consoles for more money...

hmmmm
such a beautiful world lol

I'm pretty confident that console Crysis won't really be Crysis but I'm interested to see how they can achieve this - if this does actually happen.

Why do you care even if it were to be actually coming to consoles?

First off, there's no confirmation that Crysis 1 is actually coming to consoles by Crytek. It's just rumors.

Second off, WHO CARES!! If it goes on consoles then you can bet that the graphics will be way toned down, the game would be much more linear, and a bunch of things that made Crysis 1 fun like the advanced physics and such due to the advanced graphics won't be possible. It'll simply be console gamers experiencing the first game's story and enjoying that. THAT'S IT.

Take Crysis 2 on PC with DX11 as it is RIGHT NOW. Now take a console version of Crysis 2 and compare it to the PC version of Crysis 2. Crysis 2 on PC is obviously VASTLY better.

Thats true, i hadnt thought about it like that, thanks for clearing my mind, and reminding me why we are pc gamers

PC Gamers FTW
Cheers!

if they do manage to pull it off and actually port crysis 1 to console I bet it will have the controls of crysis 2. If crytek is doing that then I would like to a mod or patch that would give you the option of using the suit features of crysis 2 in crysis 1 that would be pretty neat actually

Other than that , its safe to say the console kiddies will be getting low grade textures with no destruction what so ever and it will probably be more linear than sand box. They can call it crysis but we on the pc know that chances are that is not the case. If it really was a great achievement from crytek they would have demonstrated this at E3

You can't take a 4 year old game, and port it in 2011 to consoled... Well, you can but then you are CRAAAAZY!!!!!!

Yeah, it's no big deal at all, let them have their very own and vastly decreased in number of graphical, physical and gameplay-wise enhancements -version of Crysis. It'll just demonstrate how much more powerful system a PC is.

As long as they're not releasing it on Mac... I just love imagining one of their "Get a Mac" ads featuring Psycho as PC. Holding a SCAR, naturally.

E: Oh, if anyone knows such image has been created and is available on this internet thingy, please let me know. If not, someone with epic skills could put the CE sandbox into some good use. Would be neat, right?

Oh, forgot to add. Far Cry had console versions too. And so did Far Cry 2 with its massive open world. And Fallout 3.

Crysis 1 was one of those games, I have been proud that it is a PC exclusive! Crysis 1 was the way we show console guys that PC owns! But now... Crytek sold themselfs for more money.... Ah, stupidity...

This. My problem isn't that they'd be finally getting our 4 year old game, but the fact that Crytek's new multiplat attitude makes the PCgamers suffer in game quality.

It won't look half as good and have half the features, even more scaled down than Crysis 2. I think console owners might find it boring. I'm not sure why they're spending so much time to port it to consoles other than being desperate.

PC gamers are in no position to bragg about platform exclusive games and when it comes to technical sophistication, concrete proof (as in comparing same game on both platforms) only contributes to the superiority of the PC.

For what it's worth, though, I don't think it'll ever happen.

Crysis 1 on Cryengine 3 - simple!

Just a foking remake

To be honest it makes virtually no difference, I cant see what some of you guys are so enraged about, yes we did complain about C2 being on console because the result was a ported game that played like crap on what should have been its native platform. On the other hand C1 was created from its inception for the PC and maxed out the potential of rigs for the next 5 years. Porting it over to console will have no effect on the quality of C1 on PC and therefore 360 and PS3 gamers have my blessings. You guys need to learn to hate console gamers less...
