Forums - Sony - Crytek to push the PS3 to the maximum!

Its also funny that they said that they are pushing the hardware to the limits on the PS3 and yet the net result they expect is PS3 = Xbox 360. Crytek are some pretty awesome developers who exist on the cutting edge of technology. If this statement is true, as in a big if relating to whether or not its PR influenced I would say that its another nail in the coffin of the performance shouting contests.

Awesome, shmasome, they are DX developers (see previous Crytek engines). Given the usual consensus that "the PS3 is harder to develop for" (see Carmack's initial thoughts on the PS3...on the net somewhere), we should consider them not so awesome on the PS3 on their first try. If they like it, they will push it to the limits for another game in the future too, but that will somehow look better.

Or you're blowing it out of proportion

How many devs claim they're pushing limits? Yet games KEEP looking better and better. People need to stop reading into these things so much. The PS3 has it's strengths and weaknesses, as does the 360. No the systems ARE NOT exactly the same, and even though Crytek are presumably tech masters, it doesn't mean we'll see the best game out of either platform from them. 

As I stated before, until The Last Guardian, HEAVY RAIN, Uncharted 2 and Alan Wake (360) are shown up, I'll continue to believe that my console(s) "limits" can be pushed further.

They released a game in 2007 which is still unmatched today. They are not one of many developers, they are one of the few developers who can honestly claim to live on the bleeding edge of technology. They are known technology masters so their reputation precedes them. If they say something after working on both platforms intensively then their statements add a lot of weight to any debate. They didn't say that PS3 = 360 exactly, they acknowledged each platforms particular strengths and weaknesses.

Theres no doubt that both consoles will continue to be pushed, but I don't see any reason to bring that up because it wasn't mentioned by them in this statement.



Tease.

And how many times are we going to hear about people 'pushing the ps3 to it's limit!'....

Come on... everybody to the Limit!

And the answer to what the PS3 is fed, is at the end of this video.

@ CGI: Doing the kind of open world with the kind of fidelity of Crysis would be so fantastic for both consoles. There isn't a comparable open world on consoles which is close to approaching the 'uncanny valley' for environments.



Tease.

Doesn't make any difference if no one was able to play it. If they need ridiculous hardware to push the limits they talk about, they'd best stick to PC. Seriously, how great was crysis outside the graphics realm? Not looking forward to it's sequel

Not according to Crytek.

Actually that's pretty much what they said.

They confirmed that the 360 does GPU stuff better, and PS3 does CPU stuff better, but in the end it is basically the same.

I think Crysis was great. The attention to detail and the gameplay were both excellent aside from the stupid snow/aliens. But thats a similar complaint I have with a lot of games, e.g. MGS4 was great aside from the later levels and cutscenes.



Tease.

The 360 don't have blu-ray or cell processor

The PS3 has only 1 title from 3 years in the market that is better graphically than the 360 flagship game (maybe 2), enjoy your overpriced purchase and desperately trying to justify those features you paid for.
