Forums - Gaming - Rumor: Crysis on Wii.

I agree...but what gets me is that some people are fighting so hard to debunk it. I wouldn't even bother bringing it up IF they wouldn't have talked about it before in an interview. Granted that's not saying that it will happen, but the possibility is there.

Whether its true or not, this quote from the interview (with the guy from Crysis) is relevant:

"GI: It’s assumed that if you do console development it’ll be on the most powerful systems – Xbox 360 and PS3.  What do you think of Wii?

Yerli:   I love the Wii (laughs). When I was at E3 and playtested it, I loved it. I thought about how we could do games for this platform and what kind of games they would be, and what kind of shooters we could do on it, and work it to our own needs here. Yes we’ve had some thoughts, but Crysis is not part of the plan at this stage, but that may change.

We are a company that takes one step at a time, and once we achieve the goal that we want to achieve then we take the next step and see what the next platform we go with next. We did not decide if we’ll do PS3 at all.  We have all of the development kits, and we have research going on.  We have the Wii, Xbox 360, and PS3, we work as researchers and test them, essentially. We have parts of these systems running because there is going to be console development in our company, but if it’s going to be Crysis or not is a step ahead of us.  Because if we go to fast we sacrifice quality on PC, and I want to make sure it’s the best PC shooter we can do. With our company our goal is to make it the best shooter of all time. Once we achieve that, our achievement is we do our best and that’s it. Whether we do it our not is to be determined. Once we are there, then we’ll take the next step."

...

So in other words, they may have parts of Crysis running on a Wii - for R&D purposes (at least). Its important for them to know how much they can actually squeeze out of the device. It should also be noted that the interview is almost 9 months old. I wonder what has happened since then...

I think another, maybe more western saying, is also relevant in this instance: "Where there is a will, there is a way..." People keep assuming none of these technically difficult games will show up on the Wii, when history is full of people taking technically difficult games and changing it enough to work on less powerful hardware. I'm not implying it will happen, but given enough effort, almost anything is possible.

Highly unlikely would be GROSS understatement. Crytek has been saying how the game is "not possible" on PS3 and 360. If they seem unwilling to "scale back" the game for 360 and PS3 then I doubt there will be a Wii version. BTW I have used the parentheses because I really don't buy the fact that Crysis can't be done on PS3 and 360. If they can do a close to perfect port of Doom 3 on aging X-box hardware, Crysis can be done on 360 and PS3.
 
Using your Doom3 example and remembering Crytek's particular technical skills, I would think Crytek would be one of the few companies that would take a system like Wii and push it to do things that were assumed impossible. Fine, so porting to the other two may or may not be possible, and obviously they'd try to achieve the same build on all three high power platforms, but it's not to say that an adapted, yet still technically advanced version (for a Wii game) couldn't or wouldn't be made for Wii. Heck, they proclaim how much they enjoy it.
