Only rumours on both counts.

Essentially Crysis comes to the PS3 in the Northern Hemisphere's winter, to follow on the Xbox 360 sometime after.

Furthermore, Gameguru and PSX claim that Bioshock 2 will remain Xbox 360 exclusive like it's fantastic predecessor, indicating that Microsoft probably shelled out money for said exclusivity.

I thought it was already known that MS lapped up the rights to Bioshock 2?

As long as Bioshock 2 is also out on the PC, I'm OK with that.

 Ahhh i am not alone.

I think it is something of a coup for MS to get Bioshock 2 exclusive. I had thought it would go multiplat in the vein of Saint's Row two and GRAW sequels.

I'm also surprised that Crysis might be PS3 exclusive for a little while, as it doesn't shift shooters like the 360 does.

They left out the biggest part of the original GameGuru rumor:

5. Sony looking out to acquire a real big studio in the future, Philly's departure sets the tone for this industry gig.

@Deviation:  Hell yeah. \m/ 

Did they say anything about how far into the future Makingmusic? It would have to be pretty soon if it was going to have any tangible benefit to Sony in this generation.

OT: How much do you think they'll strip down Crysis to run on PS3 and 360?

I just love this logic.

Crysis a timed exclusive for the PS3? Alright. Sounds possible.
Bioshock 2 a 360 exclusive? Clearly an MS moneyhat!

Or more directly: why do they instantly pull out the moneyhat accusations for the Bioshock 2 rumor, but no similar rumors accompany a timed exclusivity for Crysis? Because MS is such an enormously succesful company, I feel they get the raw end of the stick when it comes to financial accusations. Whenever they secure a major exlusive, there is instantly talk about moneyhatting, while any announced PS3/Wii exclusives are seen as business as usual -- deserved spoils of war.

The 360 is still selling substantially more software on than the PS3, for goodness sakes. 

Crysis would only be on medium settings to run on both PS3 and XBox 360. Crysis is on highest settings would notr work on either XBox 360 or PS3. You basically need a super computer with two 8800GTX cards to run Crysis on highest settings. Bioshock 2 will more than likely appear on PS3 eventually. makes better business sense to release multiple versions of the same game.

I have read somewhere that PC games released 2008 will not be as advanced as Crysis. In 2009 there will be games with graphics to match Crysis.

Oh I agree completely, I was just going with what the article said.
