Releasing a 4year old PC benchmark on consoles. Yes that's what we needed. |
Except that the consoles will still not be able to play the game with as good graphics, and eventhough the gameplay itself was very mediocre it is about on par with console games. Basically, what's your point?
OT:
I have always said Crysis was mediocre, PC exclusive or not, so I am curious how HD console gamers will react to it now.

Crysis is senseless on consoles. The game was all and pretty much only about graphics, trying to exhaust even the best hardware. The whole game was a whole benchmark and it was mostly used for dick comparison hardware wise. Now the game itself is as you stated pretty mediocre which makes the only good thing about it it's technology. Let's just cut straight to the point:
Consoles = Not so good graphics
Crysis = All about graphics
What's left? Gameplay
How's the gameplay? Mediocre
Where's the sense in releasing a 4year old mediocre shooter? Nowhere
That was pretty much my point.

good point, but are you saying its impossible to get the console version to look even close to the PC one?? and was the PC version only able to run on super PC setups?? im not being difficult, im asking because i honestly dont know

Well, my 900 Eur laptop, which has a i7 running at 2.0 ghz and a ATI HD 6770M can run crysis on very high at an average of 25-30 fps, dropping as low as 15 fps during the last stages of the game, due to the massive number of enemies on screen.
The original Crysis was very resource-demanding on PC's, not only because of the graphical intensity but also because it was a piss-poor job in terms of optimization. Crysis 2 Ultra mode (the recent patch) can run on my PC on an average of 30-35 fps, even during intense firefights and lot's of action on the screen, because the CryEngine 3 is much better optimized, not only for consoles but for PC as well.
If they do release Crysis on consoles, then I bet they'll be using the CryEngine 3 for it, not the shoddy CryEngine 2. I just don't see Crysis in it's PC format running on consoles at all (even on Medium settings, Crysis is a RAM monster, as it can go as high as 1.5 GB RAM consumption on Medium, and I've seen it go as high as 3.5 GB on Very High in the final moments of the game).
And yes, I do agree with Vlad and DaColdFlash. Crysis as a game is mediocre at best, since it's gameplay is nothing to be amazed at and it's supposed "Open-World" feeling is pretty empty, as you'll end up doing the same things over and over again and taking the same linear path, even during the opening jungle stages. It's AI is pretty shoddy as well, miles from the likes of good AI such as from Half-Life or F.E.A.R and it's story is meh at best.
So really, Crysis is only worthy as a graphical showpiece.
