Download of the Week: They said it couldn't be done but Crysis is finally running on consoles

GamesRadar - They said it couldn't be done - albeit bloody years ago when it first came out on PC - but the original Crysis is finally available to play on consoles. And in downloadable form of all things.

The gorgeous FPS used to make even the most powerful of PC's sweat but thanks to a reworking under the CryEngine 3, Crytek have managed the seemingly impossible. And for bargain price you're getting a shooter that still holds up today.

The only people who said it couldn't be done are the pc elitists. Of course it can be done. Not to the standard that a pc can do it of course but it still looks pretty nice.

Thats funny because the first people that said it couldn't be done were Crytek themselves. Thats the only reason they didn't release it for consoles in the first place right when it came out (and they were very wrong back then).

Don't go around blaming "pc elitists" for something Crytek told the world when the game first came out.

"Thats funny because the first people that said it couldn't be done were Crytek themselves"

Like I said... pc elitists. And at the time they were.

caboose324575d ago (Edited 4575d ago )

Well I wouldn't say that they were pc elitists at the time, but they just didnt take the time to actually try the game on consoles.

They basically did the same thing with the first Farcry game.

Sharingan_no_Kakashi4574d ago

I would. They were always talking about how consoles hold the pc back. Which is ridiculous imo.

TABSF4575d ago

Well its running just about

Of course they could get it running but its not the same Crysis

I said in my early comments on this site 925 days ago=> Crysis will come...Crysis is possible on the consoles. #7 923d ago by pepbizmo | View comment Crysis can run on consoles, They've already shown Crysis running in the CryEngine3 footage what the hell is this guy talking about? #8 925 days ago PLZ bring the original Crysis to the console not a Based on Crysis version...the game is epic in every way and experience worth playing and the gameplay rules/the story is great i love it...at this moment there is no game like it..and the 360 controller and Crysis are a match made in heaven. Same goes for Crysis Warhead! The Original game is perfect for console play, i hope that they will release Crysis for the consoles #38 925d ago by pepbizmo | View comment

No one cares. The whole can it run Crysis is old, dead and stupid. It's also irrelevant, considering only less than one percent of pc owners, own a high-end PC. Second, I believe Crysis wasn't even optimized properly.

TheColbertinator376d ago

Crysis blew my mind back then and still kinda does.

bunt-custardly376d ago

Let's hope the modders can get the other Crysis games working in VR as they use the same Cryengine.

Bioshock still looks fantastic, one of my all time favorites.

Yui_Suzumiya448d ago

Beyond: Two Souls on PS3 can compete with modern day graphics.

SonyStyled448d ago (Edited 448d ago )

Same as Killzone 2 and 3, uncharted 2 and 3, Infamous 2, Heavy Rain, Resistance 3

jasonismoney448d ago

I wish this was entirely true, but you might want to load up Killzone 2 and Resistance 3 again.

SonyStyled448d ago

@jason I watched some gameplay videos of KZ2 and R3 on my full screen. They are on par or succeed graphically to the first person shooters mentioned in the article that also launched on the seventh generation of consoles. Try the same and see what you think

cthulhucultist447d ago

Killzone 3 was super impressive! I could not believe the graphics back then as I was regularly pausing the game to stand in awe looking at the surroundings! Resistance however did not impress me that much. Heavy rain is also another amazing graphically speaking game. It almost felt next gen

Fist4achin448d ago

I always thought the first 3 Gears of War games looked great and still hold up for today.

SonyStyled448d ago

They did for their day. I recently played gears judgement with on the 360 and the draw distance was so blurry. The characters up close look great though

JEECE448d ago

Far Cry 2 was awesome. In addition to having demonstrably better physics and AI than later games in the series, it had a lot of design decisions that, criticized at the time, have since been praised in games like BOTW and Dark Souls.

iNcRiMiNaTi448d ago

It might not be super amazing by today's standard but I thought Mgs3 looked really good

JEECE448d ago

In terms of art style it still holds up.

Can It Run Crysis? The Only Steam Deck Question That Matters

Digital Foundry: "When Alex Battaglia got his hands on a Steam Deck, this was inevitable, right? So can the Steam Deck really run Crysis? And if so, what type of optimised settings produce the best performance? What's the best balance of features and battery life... and what about 60fps?"
