I actually wonder if you would really want Crysis to be released on the PS3 or XBox 360 ... The main thing Crysis has going for it is that it is amazingly pretty which is almost entirely because its minimum system requirements are so far beyond a console (or what most people have as gaming PCs) |
No, from a graphical standpoint you could play it on minimum on a console. Actually, you could play it on medium on a console (though you would be pushing them and framerate drops would be comon). You couldn't play it on high or very high, or even close.
The actual concern isn't the graphics but the open world. Even GTA loads everything as you enter the area. Basically the way GTA works is you have a little "bubble" that moves with you where activity takes place and loads. Crysis has no such bubble. Activity is constnatly happening in the world. The AI behind you doesn't stop interacting and making decisions just because you are no longer in the same "area." The PS3 and 360 probably won't be able to handle that.
The funny thing is that Far Cry 2 makes even Crysis look out of date. Guess we'll need another 5 years to play that when it comes out...
