- knodi, on 10/12/2007, -4/+20Crytek has confirmed that a 360 version of Crysis is in development. It should be noted, however, that the game will not be a port of the PC version, but rather an entirely new game built from the ground up. The reasoning for this decision, according to the devs, is that the PC game simply couldn't run on an Xbox 360. Given that the title uses many of the advanced features of DirectX 10 (the 360 uses DirectX 9), this isn't too surprising -- although the explanation contradicts earlier statements from the developers. The game will reportedly share many elements with its PC counterpart, but contain entirely different graphics and gameplay.

A wee bit under that. - dolemite5005, on 10/12/2007, -7/+21Personally I'll settle for a "tuned down" version for $60 on the 360 as opposed spending the $2,000 it would take getting my PC up to snuff.
- mrpizza, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11"Unconfirmed by EA/Crytek. Please be aware that this information could be wrong. According to Cevat Yerli there is no plan to work on a xbox360 version right now"
buried as inaccurate.

- notepaddotexe, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Bury it! It's inaccurate!
http://www.crysis-online.com/?id=177 - Paroparo, on 10/12/2007, -4/+12So basically all the same, or even more, content, but less fancy graphics? Sounds good, but does anybody really care about anything related to Crysis other than the graphics? Seriously, all I hear is how "Crysis looks better than real life" and so forth.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9I love being a 360 owner.
- castleking, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7The 360 GPU is neither Direct X 10 or 9. It carries over certain elements from a direct X 10 architecture, and Direct X 9. It is not simply a toned down r600. If that were true, I would think that we would have r600 graphics cards in our hands already.
- Sk8SkaNJ, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7They're from Germany.
- soogy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6First of all, this is just speculation, so it has been buried as inaccurate.
Second, DX10 games can be modified to use DX9c paths, albeit slower than via native DX10. To compensate, some of these additional DX10 features could be disabled, and they'll work perfectly fine on a DX9c system, such as the Xbox 360.
Third, no developer in their right mind would rewrite a game from scratch for a console when they could merely rewrite just the rendering functions while saving tons of money and time.
And fourth, you won't need a $2,000 computer to play Crysis. By turning off advanced features, you should be able to play it decently on a modern computer with a good DirectX 9.0c card, though if you want to play with all the bells and whistles, DX10 cards are already dropping in price. They should be cheaper and more cards will be released by the time Crysis is out. - shrewduser, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6"I have heard from numerous sources that the 360 can semi-handle DX10 games. Aparently all it needs is a firmware update from Live. Can someone clear this up for me, I'm not too sure to be honest."
it wont support anything directX 9 doesn't.... sure there's a lot of overlap but thats a very misleading rumour. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4The reasons to buy a Wii and a 360 are growing and growing.... the PS3 is seeming less and less significant. This saddens me, being a hug PS fan..... Looks like I'll be sticking to PC until I see who wins the war.

:P - Thorlord, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6headband no it is not even close. it uses a Unified Shader Architecture and has a MUCH higher bandwidth from VRAM to RAM, it is higher preforming than an x1900xtx, the only video cards that outclass it are Dual video card setups, and the brand spanking new GeForce 8800gs
you may be thinking its a stock video card from the fact that the PS3's RSX is exactly a 7800GT video card. which would be similar in power to the x1800. - dr00, on 10/12/2007, -4/+8the graphics will still be amazing, and you won't have to spend four thousand dollars to get the most out of the graphics.
- autocrawler, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3No, the ATI spokesman confirmed that no software patch can upgrade the Xenos to DX10.
http://xbox.boomtown.net/en_uk/articles/art.view.php?id=12236 - Scynet, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3What's with that attitude? If everyone thought like that we'd all still have some GeForce 2 MMX cards in our PCs, since spending money to buy a better one is a waste. Duh.
It's not like there are suddenly hundreds of games and applications simultaneously requiring a high-end GPU so that you have more reasons than "one game" to spend you cash on. If you don't like it, then don't buy one. Get a Wii instead or something. We may have just one game now, but when people upgrade because of it, more games will appear that take advantage of high-end cards. - SonicRush, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6I think the gameplay will still matter. I loved Far Cry for PC but didn't really get into FarCry instincts for xbox.
Crysis games are best left to PC in my opinion. - cinnix, on 10/12/2007, -5/+7I have heard from numerous sources that the 360 can semi-handle DX10 games. Aparently all it needs is a firmware update from Live. Can someone clear this up for me, I'm not too sure to be honest.
- vhold, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2"they must be spending billions making this damn thing... and for what? so that the top 0.1% of desktop computers can run it at maybe 40fps?"
Don't discount the possibility that the vested parties may be subsidizing the cost to develop this game.
Microsoft
Intel
AMD / ATI
Nvidia
Asus
and probably many more...
All stand to significantly gain from the adoption of Vista, and this game may very well be the only killer app. - Thorlord, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5Mythos you summarized my point precicely.
even though we are correct. im being dugg down.. for some reason. - daridave, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2@ shrewduser :
They'll still make more money with this project than with some other [stupid huge] projects on the PS3, like Metal Gear Solid 4. (estimating from the previous media declarations, they'll need at least 2 millions of those for a 1$ profit, rofl) - Slyer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Depends on you idea of Max, do you mean on the highest quality settings on 1280 x 1024, or on some insane resolution?
For the 1280 x 1024, it will run it nearly on highest if you play in DX10 mode. - DonRoberto, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2It could, however this would reqiure them to contract out nVidia or ATi to make a new GPU for the 360, which would only increase the price of the machine. Also, you would end up with 360s that have a large difference, and the games would likely be less optimized, or take longer to make to optimize both types of GPU. Also it would bring out the problem of having to soft render things that the DX 10 GPU can do with Hardware on teh older DX 9c GPUs, which could bring a further hit to performance. So, in short, it would be possible, but the cons far outweigh the pros of it.
- foolfromhell, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1My monitor is 1280x1024. Not gonna upgrade that till atleast 2009-2010.
Cant get an upgrade till same time too. - seansshack, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1perhaps mickeysoft should have put directx-10 compatible gpu in the bloody xbox 360 then...... Or is it their divine plan to out date it quicker and make us buy the 360 mark 2 in a few years.
Crytek will port and update it for the console. I would have though the game would have to be redesigned for controller play over mouse and keyboard (as controller is slower). But comparing call of duty two between pc and 360 and the speed is the same. The 360 pips it slightly on visuals.
Crysis will simply look the best on a pc with that will run it full featured and full framed. But how many pc's will this be. This is what really pisses me off about the pc market. If you can afford to put more hardware in (because you simply have more disposable income) you will have a far greater experience that others less fortunate.
Where if you have a console. Everyone will be playing the same game. Just makes more sense to me. Perhaps because I have kids and don;t have deep enough pockets to build ninja pc's (anymore) every two to three years to stay within a marjin of hardware where you don't feel you are wasting money on games because you simply aren't "playing like it was intended". - Slyer, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Inaccurate, don't believe anything you hear unless it comes directly from the mouth of Cevat Yerli.
- p4r4d0x, on 02/28/2008, -0/+1Have you played it? The open-ended gameplay is pretty impressive.
- SSCrow, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Oh Snap PS3!
- autocrawler, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Thorlord, recheck your data, a single X1900XTX, a DX9 videocard, is a bit more powerful than it, and a single 8800 card simply outclasses it in every way possible. Look at all the crossplatform games for the proof-Prey, FEAR, RS: Vegas, et cetera.
The Xenos being more powerful than any other videocards on the market is simply a popular misconception.
Also, the ATI's spokesman confirmed that there is no possibility of software updating the Xenos to DX10 either. - foolfromhell, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Can an Core 2 Duo e6600 and an 8800GTX run Crysis at max?
Thanks. I am concerned. - sharpie05, on 05/06/2008, -0/+1Paid 800 for mine- runs the game maxed out.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I'm a n00b when it comes to this sort of thing, but could the 360 technically speaking, be re-engineered or upgraded to support DirectX 10? I would imagine if it were possible, it would be major surgery and not some firmware update right?
- Slyer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/755/755903p1.html
Pwned. - Wytefang, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Well Shacknews has revealed what we all knew already, whoever posted this article was completely and thoroughly wrong. Like the poster above said, PWNED! Crysis = PC Exclusive. Drool all you want console fans, you ain't getting this game anytime soon. :P
- foolfromhell, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1DX9!= DX10
Always wanted to say that in context! - inactive, on 11/14/2008, -0/+0Okay, it is like knodi says, but it will have the same, or even better graphics than on the PC
Because, of follow 3 examples:
1. Usually, a game for PC use lesser graphics than to a console
2. Far Cry 2 got better graphics than Crysis, and its released for xbox 360
3. its just technically possible to run it on very high/enthusiast settings at a console like that! - aegis9975, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Nope, a couple days ago. . .

Flight Attendant Interview -
http://www.flightattendanttrainingonline.com/mustk ... - kelbear, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1No, buying the high-end card and then waiting for high-end games means you just play one game, and by the time the others come out, you can buy that same card for hundreds less. The graphics treadmill is powered by implanted desire.
Quake had amazing graphics. What kind of graphics does it have today? THE EXACT SAME GRAPHICS IT HAD WHEN IT RELEASED. The need to improve the graphics only occurs when you see and want the cutting edge graphics and then compare it to the preceding games. Just play the preceding games and ignore the new ones and then the preceding games will still have their amazing graphics.
So patience will effectively improve the graphics in the games you have today, while impatience ruins the graphics in the games you have today, while making you yearn for the games of tommorow that you can't play.
Just relax and enjoy gaming rather than technology. - Donarudo, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0@CryEngineRocks
Yeah but that means another random Microsoft marketing strategy like the Xbox Elite and people are gonna have to spend more money for system sellers to come, but have a ***** 360 with plenty of problems like overheating.... scratching game discs, etc. I'll pass and upgrade my PC. If they do make on won't be as good as the PC version anyways. - Wytefang, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1This is a very misleading article/story. You might as well make up a name for this game because it basically won't be Crysis at all. Just some new next-gen game that's doesn't have any of the same physics or graphical or gameplay features of the real Crysis.
Talk about desperate console fans trying to cling to straws. LOL
I'm glad that we as PC gamers will be getting the real deal! Woot! - steven401, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1You're going to need a SLI setup.
- NYC10004, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0I've seen the screens for Crysis just like everybody else, but I have to ask, what makes everyone so sure that this is a great game if nobody has played it? We all certainly hope its great, but who knows for sure?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0"However, that PC game won’t be the same game as what we will see on the home console. Because Crysis will be running at DirectX10, the game would look inferior since the 360 can only do DirectX9 (as mentioned before). So, the developers are using the same universe that the PC game is set in, with some similar story elements, but the gameplay will be entirely different. The developers told the 1UP guys that they weren’t even going to try and replicate Crysis. This would be because the PC version will be running so much more stuff that the 360 couldn’t handle, and would be disappointing. They stated that the game needs to run deeper, with the physics and world needing to be constructed differently. They admitted that the 360 version may not be as “wow” as the PC version in terms of graphics. It’s not a port in any way, so if you bought both versions, you would still get two different experiences with the game. The developers Crytek are the same developers responsible for FarCry, so we could see a game similar (but hopefully better) to that."
Yes, the 360 couldn't even handle DX10 according to Crysis. In fact, it will be an entirely different game due to the 360's inability to handle the PC game. What a massive letdown. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0
I heard a rumor that Xbox 360 V2 will have a DX10 compliant GPU. - CryEngineRocks, on 10/11/2007, -1/+0Crysis will be on 360, because all we need to do is just look at the 360's performance. If it hasn't DX10, than it has Ati Xenon and 3 Cores. Besides, Microsoft can find a way to put an update for 360. 360 is enough powerfull to run it.
