Rumor: Crysis shown on Xbox 360 to 'prospective publishers' at GDC

Joystiq Writes:

A glib response from a Crytek representative may have revealed that Crysis is coming to the Xbox 360. The rep reportedly told Primotech that the Xbox 360 version was being shown behind close doors to "prospective publishers" at last month's Game Developers Conference.

This is far from a confirmation; the Crytek rep may have misspoken. Furthermore, we'd be surprised if Crysis PC publisher Electronic Arts didn't have the foresight to secure rights to the console game as well. We do know that Crytek planned on showing off a console version of CryEngine 2 (which runs Crysis), and although the assets were likely Crysis, perhaps the prospective publishers were just looking for a game engine.

Like the article said, more than likely an engine demo if anything. I very much doubt it was "crysis" the game.

Still if its true its a push in the right direction, Cryteck have had a secret PS3 team for a long time now, so they're obviously starting to show some love towards the consoles.

Charlie26885895d ago

That is probably right cuz if we remember the interviews Crytek has said that they are working on the console version of the CryEngine 2 but when asked if it was for a console version of Crysis they said that it wasn't for that but for "other projects"

which could be any other gamer or licensing the engine like the UE3 (that is why the use of "prospective publishers")

gEnKiE5895d ago

Thats exactly what I was thinking when I seen this post. I'm sure its just a demo of the engine that their using. Not Cysis....

Crazyglues5895d ago (Edited 5895d ago )

I reported this a long time ago, and everyone just about bit my head off for saying Crysis was coming to the console...

I said long ago that they where working on CryEngine 2 for consoles, and that Crysis would indeed find it's way to the PS3 and people just went crazy. I said Cryteck has had a secret PS3 team. And people said yeah right! No they don't. What a difference a day makes.

Just think about this, Do you think Crysis would sell a million copies if it came to consoles. The answer - Of course it would. So now the no-brainier, if that's true don't you think it makes sense to make one for the consoles.

Cwalat5895d ago

Once said that there was a possibilaty for a Crysis Console port and ppl freaked out saying it would never happen, and if it did it would look worse than Just Cause,

Obviously its a possibility cause they want to have a "test" game for consoles and what better than Crysis could they put on consoles ?

zonetrooper55895d ago

Well for the time being, if you want Crysis then get a PC. That is what I will be doing anways.

Citizen Cook5895d ago

And you KNOW we'll get the better version. AS ALWAYS!

Why? Because our system is developer friendly and build with GAMERS in mind, not movie addicts. lol

Why do developers even BOTHER with PS3rd? No one buy s games for it, they look crap, the money is where the 360 is.

HA HA HA HA!

sunnygrg5895d ago

Just play your games, buy multiplatform games that are superior, but donot bash the consoles. Every consoles have their ups and downs.

ASSASSYN 36o5895d ago (Edited 5895d ago )

Hey slow down turbo. Nothing was confirmed. I will be the first to fire my guns a sony kids but at least I wait for the Facts 'N' Proof before I laugh at some peaunt heads. You need to chill 5 seconds and wait for reality to settle in.

Eamon5895d ago

And the graphics are amazing.

I might get it if it comes out on console.

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.

TheColbertinator382d ago

Crysis blew my mind back then and still kinda does.

bunt-custardly382d 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_Suzumiya454d ago

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

SonyStyled454d ago (Edited 454d ago )

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

jasonismoney454d ago

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

SonyStyled454d 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

cthulhucultist453d 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

Fist4achin454d ago

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

SonyStyled454d 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

JEECE454d 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.

iNcRiMiNaTi454d ago

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

JEECE454d 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?"
