Crytek revises claim: Crysis could be ported

[sawyen]

Tbh.. I'd see more chance that it hits PS3 than the Xbox360..

Well.. thats if they can master all 7 SPEs..

Both consoles probably have comparable graphics hardware, both suffer from the usual limits of available memory (graphics or otherwise) and when Crysis ships the PC will have better graphics hardware available (DX10 parts). Even if the cell processor is 'god like' I can't see it making any difference in a game that's almost certainly going to be GPU limited and neither console has a distinct advantage in that respect. In fact, it'd be easier to port it to the 360 simply because it's possibly more analogous to the PC and the development tools are far better (and related).

Id have thought it would port better to the 360 as it used unified shaders (a la DX10) whereas far as I know the PS3 use nvidia G70 hardware?

also surely Crysis on the Wii will be a massive downgrade, as the wii is in standard def?

If Wii Far Cry looks like that, I can only imagine the mess that Crysis will be...

I just travelled back to 1999...

lol, guys dont expect awesome graphics from the Wii... it's the only next gen that is not really next gen :S
Also I am in total agreement about Crysis's claim of power... the x360 and ps3 are merely consoles and are already outdated (the only bit not out of date is the cell cpu which I can't see being that helpful in games anyway)

[altitude2k]

Next-gen doesn't necessarily mean power, it belongs to control, depth of games etc. also. The Wii is 'next gen' for its control system and never claims to have the best graphics...doesn't really need it. And you say that consoles are already outdated (what you mean by that I'm not 100% sure...) But remember that consoles may have a generally lower spec than PCs, but the console doesn't have to run Windows, a firewall, a virus checker and hundreds of other services - the whole lot concentrates on running the game.

exactly..... Hench why consoles dont need so much memory to begin with

[YorkieBen]

I think its is quite hard to quantify the 360's graphics architecture as out of date compared to the pc world as it is quite different to anything on the pc at the moment (unified shaders, on-die RAM)

whereas the ps3 essentially has nvidia 7-series graphics

Sorry to drag this OT but I'm curious - where did this info come from?

Bit of an old article, but it's pretty well known that the PS3's graphics are based on nVidia's G71 / 7900 chip.

OMG, thats shocking. I Know the Wii is not about killer graphics but i have seen better on the PS2/Game Cube. I expected better than that! But i am sure i have seen better screenshots.

That said, i will still get one if the control system really is as good as the fanboys who have not even used it are claiming

[Bluecube]

Be fair to the Wii. Unlike the PS3/ 360, the Wii isn't and never has been about killer graphics. Nintendo's philosophy is about making fun games. Thank God someone remembers that games are about more than moving 2 trillion triangles around a screen, with super duper lighting, bump maps, etc...

Well technically the X360 chip is based on the R580 core.. maybe give or take a few differences..

The RSX chip do resemble the G70/71 specifications but remember optimisations can occur..
