Forums - PC - Awful Crysis and UT III Sales

If a console port happens which is seeming more and more likely I doubt it would be PS3 exclusive. First off for the reason FJ-Warez listed in order to appeal to a larger userbase. I mean it's the 360 cynics who love to point out how shooter-friendly the 360 lineup is.

Also leo you have your rumors that say the 360 can't handle it at all and yet ATI has stated in the past* that the 360 even though it clearly can't run DX10 is capable of mimicking certain DX10 features. Obviously it can't run DX10, neither console can as it is a question of hardware not software. But if even certain functionality is present porting to the 360 could not only be possible, the 360 could even take advantage of some of the advanced features Crysis has with DX10 on Vista. It'll have to be toned down extremely from the PC version just like the PS3 if they want it to run smooth but it could be worth considering for Crytek if they want to recoup more money than they can by just selling their engine.

PS3 port is likely now more than ever.

Welcome back ckmlb..

 

Leo, if the PS3 version of UT3 doesn´t sell very good either, what makes you think that Crytek wants to loose more money downgrading Crysis just for the PS3??? If by any chances happens the 360 version will come first (Large User base, DX9, PC-Like arquitecture...)

Epic and Crytek usually are safe selling their engines... but yeah, this time the games sold very bad...


in america


 If you are talking about the user base, well

Japan: dislikes most shooters, loves other genres

America: They loves CONSOLE shooters..

EU: Loves PC games ingeneral including 90% PC shooters

Total: 360 Has the largest user base with shooter lovers...  and is bigger than the PS3 total user base...

@ssj12, brute:
Actually UK PC market is bigger than Germany's. UK software market is at around 1.7 bln pounds from which PC are 17.9%, so PC market is worth around 600 mln $. Germany's PC market is only 267 mln euro (this equals around 400 mln $).

Not sure if UK PC market is bigger than USA' (I doubt it however EU may be bigger).

GFW radio podcast mentions a couple episodes ago (2 weeks) that Crysis has sold around 96,000 copies and UT III had sold 30,000 both of which are dismally bad for these games. I'm especially surprised by Crysis which was outside of the Burning Crusade the biggest PC exclusive of 07 was it not?

 Pretty sure Supreme Commander and Company of Heroes sold well.

And "PC exclusives" aren't as important as PC titles in general...Orange Box may not have been exclusive but it was definitive and designed for the PC, and it's selling FAR above anything Crysis or UT3 can.  And Crysis is too much for many gamer's PCs, and UT3 kinda sucks.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

Thanks, but the point remains the same, the 360 has the bigger user base, making the game a PS3 exclusive is kinda foolish...

@ Ben

just kinda???

 Counter Strike is still more played than Halo, so I don't think this is quite true yet, SSJ :p

 And given that UT III bombed nearly as hard on PS3 as it did on PC (PC games aren't as frontloaded, so 1/2 the sales in the opening month would be normal, but it was 1/3 it appears).

this games runs also on DX9, its not as sharp comparing to DX10, but still looks pretty gorgeuos, so I believe a Xbox 360 version is doable and will sell better than a ps3 version
