RUMOR: Crysis coming to PS3... maybe not XBOX
HipHop Junkie | 5:43 PM on 01.17.2008 12 comments


I was cruising the internet a few minutes ago and saw that there is a rumor that Crysis may be coming to PS3. I know this rumor has been out there before, but this might be a little more serious. That would be awesome. I have played Crysis on PC and think it is a phenomenal game, but I have not upgraded my computer to buy it myself. For some reason, the site is saying the game isn't going to be made for XBOX for some reason. I don't know if this rumor is true, but I hope so. We will just have to wait and see. So what does the DTOID community think about Crysis coming to PS3? I play UT3 alot on PS3 and there seems to be a lot of continuity starting between the PC community and the PS3 community and this may be just another case. What are your thoughts of why it may not go to XBOX? Thought it is interesting for conversation.

Wow. PSU really sucks the PS3's dick, huh? All this shit about PS3 being superior to the 360 and shit. Then they drop this stinker:

This does nothing but rectify the belief that the PS3 is the better console in the long run. We eagerly await more details on this huge title that could only possibly be rivaled by Killzone 2.

Rivaled by what? You mean that game that keeps showing up with doctored screenshots and shit on the net? Yes? Who the fuck cares about Killzone 2? Or Crysis?

On a side note, I do agree it's the more powerful system. But I'll never visit PSU again after that.

@eternal

lol. Yeah, it is a little biased, so I am not defending PSU.

Wow, a website called Playstation Universe has a PS3 bias.

Mind: Blown

@ shipero: Not all sites have a bias, but I'm just saying that I'm never going there again. Not that I ever did.

You'd think they could at least be a bit fair. Other sites have different sections devoted to each console, ala IGN and at least they aren't really biased. They all play other consoles. It's for the better that way.

Too bad Crysis would have to be ported in DX9 to even be compatible with the PS3 or 360. No current gen consoles support DX10 or Shader Model 4.0

@iDano84:the ps3 doesn't use directX it uses open GL/ES

I didn't know, I don't know a whole heck of a lot about the PS3 hardware. Just made an assumption. I just know it's not capable of crysis. At least not in the sense as it was meant to be ran. Possibly a wrapper could be used like is used with OpenGL and the 360. Calling the needed functions (not sure this has ever truly been done, only heard rumors, seems as if it would cause alot of overhead and inefficiency). I know that OpenGL and DX are just two entirely different beasts. No desire to know anything about OpenGL really, other than 3.0 is seriously late.

I have a deep seeded hatred for OpenGL. I tend to forget it exists. Maybe 3.0 will change my mind.

However, thanks for catching my mistake. Leave it to a *nix guy to catch an error when open source stuff is involved =p.

wrong. There are hacks on the pc to easily give supposed "DX10" features to DX9 running in windows XP. It looks the same and in fact runs better because its not vista.

@BahamutZero

What does a 'hack' for PC and winxp to give DX10 'support' have to do with the price of tea in china? I was talking about consoles. DX9 can look fucking amazing. However, it will only be as good as the developer who uses it. That will take us into a long discussion about the usage of DX coding, and Managed DX.

linuxguy picked up on my error in that PS3 doesn't support DX period.
