The PS3 has a modified 7800, designed to work hand in hand with the Cell, please stop commenting on the power of the PS3 since you clearly know nothing about it.

OT The PS3 could easily run Crysis on High settings if optimized, but as said, it would cost more than the game would make.

That is why I said I think.  Even so that isn't too much better. The only way I think it would run even close to high is if they did the thing therealmafoo said. Either way it wouldn't be worth it. Crysis wasn't to good of a game to start with. It was all graphics hype.

sc94597 said: KBG29 said: @sc94597 I disagree with that. Crysis is the most physics intense game I have ever played. Without the Cell there is no way any current gen console could immitate what you get on PC. The physics would run on the 360s cpu fine. The requirements call for the least a pentium 4 2.8ghz. Now the graphics card is what is going to bring the 360 and ps3 down when they try to run crysis. Yes it does have good physics , but people are more wowed by the graphics, and that is what makes it harder to run. I would say the 360 could run crysis low-med and the ps3 without using the cell could run it on low. THe ps3 using the cell could probaly run it on med at most.

That's if you want to run it at 640x480 at all low settings.

You make me laugh, "The ps3 without using the cell could run it on low", let me ask you this, why would anyone try to make a game for the PS3 that doesn't use the Cell? And you seem to have this idea that 360 is more powerful than the PS3, again I will ask you to stop commenting on the power consoles, not just the PS3, but any of them since you obviously know nothing about console workings.

A Crytek dev said that the PS3 could be able to run Crysis in settings between Medium and High, but not more. So PS3 probably couldn't even reach High settings.

I was talking about using it for graphics production the way therealmafoo said. If you knew anything about pc games you would know most of them rely on the gpu to produce graphics rather than the cpu. The cpu is for everything else in the game , and operating system. You also forget that consoles have very little ram. Crysis needs about 2gbs ram in total when you add in the vram. Yes the ps3 and 360 may not be running an operating system in the back round , but even if you take away the ram used in the operating system about 512mb you still don't have enough to produce high quality textures that crysis has at above 1080p resolutions.

I don't think so. It would be lucky to run it at medium, 720p and 30fps... and I'm being very generous there.

You people have to consider that, even on medium-low, Crysis is still the best looking game ever created. 

The Xbox can run Doom 3 and Half life. Why a PS3 can't run crysis?
The diference between computer's and console's nowadays are bigger than before?

Just asking

 Because the ps3s graphics card isn't good enough. That is why. It could run crysis , but not at the settings a pc could , and not as fluid. Crysis on low would be hard on the ps3. Now if the ps3 had a better graphics card then it would be able to run it as good as a pc. Also computers are getting cheaper to make meaning it's cheaper to make a better computer which ups the bar on graphics a developer makes. So in a way yes the difference is larger. 

People! Please stop debating what the game will look and run like based on how the game ran on your computer and how it had hardware similar to a specific console. PC's are heavily unoptimised only about 20-30 % of a videocard generation's power is ever used in games, and generally the fact thta PC's have so many different combinations of hardaware makes it imposible to get the most out of your hardware.

Consoles on the other hand are a completely different beast, the PS2 did with 32mb of ram what PC'c needed at least 256mb, the same with tha graphics cards. The PS3 will be able to run crysis on high becasue everthing in it is built toghether and made to run as optimely as posible. Just beacuse it doesnt run well on similar hardaware configuration , doesnt mean it won't run well on the PS3 itself.

Since when has Crytek been spending time working on PS3 games?
