The game looks really good technically as a console game but if this can be done on consoles, so could Crysis which leads to one questions:
Is Cry-tek being lazy about porting Crysis to PS3 and 360 or they are secretly doing it?

Nice smoke and plant effects. Leafs and other stuff behave in a DX10 manner.

Crazyglues5993d ago (Edited 5993d ago )

As far as 360 no word on that happening. The game does look amazing and yes COD4 does look better. -nothing can really compare to how amazing COD4 is, they really knocked the ball out the park on that game.

But this really looks amazing though, and your right if you can do this, then of course they should be able to do Crysis with all spec's turned up on the PS3...

As I understood it, they where waiting to see the sales of the PC version before sitting down and putting a team on getting Crysis on to the PS3. -The Crytek2 engine that was used to make Crysis is already being designed to run on the PS3.

Hopefully it will do very well on PC and they will then sit the team down to get it not just running but performing like a High end PC on the PS3.

Only time will tell.

sticky doja5993d ago

Do you have a link to go along with your knowledge that they are working on a PS3 version?

dantesparda5993d ago

I dont know about a Crysis killer, but more like a Crysis "matcher". But i still think Crysis looks better (but then again, that video was really crappy)

TheSadTruth5993d ago

ANOTHER first person shooter

can't imagine anyone wanting to buy this

FF7numba15993d ago

lol crytek been searching for ps3 devs publicly over a year now.

mark095993d ago

as you can see, they already have a 360 dev team, but require more members for the ps3 dev team (which is why they have the job opening).

Crazyglues5992d ago

I don't have a link, it was just something I read in passing on the net, where the development team was talking about what they hope Crysis will do -As far as sales.

I was not stating anything as fact, And as I said "As I understood it" not actually fact. just from what I thought they where saying in the interview... But if they already have a heavy 360 team, I think it only makes sense to believe they would get a heavy PS3 team. -but like I was saying only time will tell, we should see soon enough.

As their is no doubt that Crysis will do huge numbers in terms of PC sales.

Sorry I can't seem to find the interview.. I did look. But could not find it again.

Ignorant Fanboy5992d ago

The reason you could not find it was because it was a rumor.

Stop acting like your talking facts. Your first post was not "as I understood".

You understood wrong.

Edit: Happy Thanksgiving

LOL PS3 IS JUNK LOL5992d ago

If this was ported to the ps3 it would only get 10 frames per second.

meh.....COD 4 still looks better than this.

sticky doja5993d ago

Mainly because CoD4 doesn't have near the amount of explorable area as this seems to have, and CoD4 doesn't have plants that react like that. I will be the first to admit that CoD4 is the most beautifull game I have been able to play on my 360, but if Warhound improves even in the slightest from what it is now then it will blow CoD out of the water.

mesh15993d ago

COD4 VERY NICE GAME but its scripted and is very restrictivewer eu go and is justa linear game in terms of sp even with that a tru egamer can ee this game is pushing my graphical proccoseeing than cod4 with the leaves swaying about tress being cut down /smoke effect and so on

Ju5992d ago

I am still wondering why people are so impressed with CoD4. The framerate and the lightning is impressive. And that is where it ends. No destructive environment, heck, nothing is even animated (walked thru grass recently ?), you can't shoot the most trivial things: lamps. Tried to blow out a lamp ? Doesn't work. The textures are low res (really, walk up a wall, and tell me the difference). Compare that to e.g. Uncharted (in all that respect).
We haven't seen much in that video. Just environment, and mostly jungle. Now add some more pieces, like AI. We'll see how that goes.
And, if that stays as is, I doubt that game will ever hit the market. "In Game XMB" ? No way! (Sony will sue their a$$ off)

i_like_ff75993d ago

lol menu is the ps3 task media bar rip off. Game doesnt looks as good as cod4.

riqued5993d ago

True, this is a copy of the XMB. And I am sure Sony has copyright for the design as they have even won a award for it.

power of Green 5993d ago

COD4 isn't doing half the sh*t this games is doing and this isn't even finished.

ruibing5993d ago

I can't argue graphics with bad poor cam video, but what made Crysis good was not just the graphics. The different powers your suit has really gave you so many ways to complete every single objective.

I remember during the first few missions when you could cloak on the enemy to line them up and shoot them from behind, cloak and snatch one up as a shield, use strength and throw an object for a kill, shoot a tree for distraction, just so many different ways to accomplish everything.

Not only that you know in that game even at normal difficulty you are not more invulnerable than the enemy, without the suits power you take just as much shots before dying as the enemy soldiers. These elements made the game feel real.

Xi5993d ago

maybe not those super powers, but more along the lines of setting traps, forcing enemies into situations, luring them, or just bringing in a tank and rolling everything, and the online will be a lot better, more like cs.

Dr Pepper5993d ago

When is this game being released?

Warhound on ice

Swiss gaming magazine GBase asked Techland what happened to the military shooter Warhound which was announced a few years ago. They've learned that the project is on ice right now but maybe in the future Techland will continue to work on it.

TheProfessional5107d ago (Edited 5107d ago )

I'm with you Shifty. I've been waiting for Dead Island, Chrome 2 and Warhound for literally years. I enjoyed/was happy to support Juarez Bound in Blood and I remember reading an article that it sold pretty well overall yet Techland still hasn't said or done anything since.

Why would they work on any other game? Dead Island and Warhound are both promising new shooters that have the potential to have sequels. Chrome 2 is already a sequel to an established series, (Chrome was solid for its time, SpecForce was excellent) so if they iced Warhound and Dead Island it better for that. Anything else would be a MISTAKE.

Techland working on stuff, keeping quiet for now

TVGB: "There's been quite a bit of chit, and chat, around the water cooler in the last week or so about Techland's future offerings now that Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood has been tagged and released. Dead Island, the game that mixes palm trees, crystal clear waters and zombies, was the first to get inquired about. Thankfully that one is still being worked on, and has even found a publisher. But there's been no word on their other two titles that were announced many years ago but haven't been talked about in quite a while - Warhound, an open-ended first-person shooter, and Chrome 2, the sequel to 2003's sci-fi shooter. We got in touch with Techland to see what was up with these titles and walked away with both good and not so good news."

I'm quite impressed by techland and their chrome engine. COJ:BiB is a really good looking game at times and I can't wait to see what dead-island and hopefully warhound look like.

Warhound Being Reevaluated, not Officially Canceled

In 19 days, it'll be two years since Joystiq last heard anything about Call of Juarez developer Techland's "open ended FPS," Warhound. So, when they heard last week that the developer was still working on its zombie-infused Dead Island, they shot Techland an email and asked about the game once intended to rival Crysis' graphics.

green5400d ago

I hope they don't cancel it because it looked really promising.

N4PS3G5400d ago

Good to know that Dead Island and this are still kicking

TheColbertinator5400d ago

Looks like vaporware to me(Warhound).It might as well be in the same page as Duke Nukem Forever or Wardevil.

Dead Island is a good concept and they really need to avoid screwing that up

socomnick5400d ago

God I hope not, after playing and loving both Call of juarez games, I really want them to succeed and for these games to come out. They develop some pretty impressive tech and the games have personality something missing on other big name shooters like haze or killzone 2.

free2game3655400d ago

a multiplat game could never rival Crysis visually
