*Confirmed* Original Crysis Bound for *PS360

It's perfectly pin sharp on my machine...

 

Was this comparison already posted?

 

Console should actually get '2005' - since that's the year the hardware has been released...

 

It's not our fault it takes them that long to upgrade the hardware
Also, it's just roughly a year after PS3 global availiablity

 

I see that trolling just wont stop and i dont have words for last almighty comment.

BTW new pic

 

You know what's strange? We have that, plus the airplane shot plus the last thing in the trailer which are much below the PC version but then we have other scenes which hold up pretty darn well. That scene above in particular doesn't even seem that complex compared to some other foliage scenes from the trailer.

everyone: we're all going to calm down and stop with the sniping posts. Either point out specific grievances, backed up with ss if possible or don't post at all.

 

I'd like to know if this port will end up being the best looking game on 360. Is Crysis 2 pretty much the peak right now over there?

 

Some comments from Xzero

You know, but some still thinks that lighting is not better.

 

Every bit of grass and foliage has gone in that shot

 

Aesthetically it really is better in the old PC version in a few shots I've seen in this thread. IMHO of course.

 

Technically, CE3 has many advantages over CE2. No-one is going to deny that since it's pure common sense given that it's its successor. But engines can be implemented very differently across games and platforms. Just because one engine sports an improved lighting system over another does not automatically mean a game implemented with that lighting system has an overall more impressive implementation than a less advanced lighting system employed on a system with 5 times the resources.

The dawn scene for example. I'm failing to see where the superior lighting systems advantages are coming into play:

Yes we see an advantage in the plane interior, yet we see a disadvantage on the exterior. Evangalising this whole superior lighting system just seems to be stretching things a bit. It's never going to match the PC version blow for blow. The odd win here and there will always be countered by huge differences in other ways so why not just sit back, accept the consoles have a decent facsimile of the original and enjoy it for the great game it is.

 

nAo was right! - Uninteresting story ahead: you've been warned

Well, this ordeal of having Crysis running on Consoles forces me to remember an argument we had a few years ago. That argument involved two parties, a large group comprised of graphics experts, whose names shall remain unsaid to protect their jobs at NV, AMD, Intel and IMGtec, and a trio of never easily-impressed graphics alpha connoisseurs.

The gist of the theory pushed by the 3 proud graphics warriors

Spoiler

(who do not like to crow when they are right)

was that Crysis wasn't all that impressive and its performances were due to a non-existent optimization work back then (Crysis might still have the "crown" for the most shader work per pixel ratio on PC, in fact. I didn't check). One of those valiant heroes-of-3 went further than simply being disappointed by Crysis technical prowesses on the PC, he went as far as saying that the game could be made on PS360, with maybe more effects!

Much laughs and mockeries were sent toward the man for uttering such "nonsense," they said. But here we are, 4 years later, crow-à-la-napolitaine on the menu! The man who was riled for such a heretic point-of-view was Marco "nAo" Salvi, the second caballero was Arun "Uttar" Demeure and for the third strong willed warrior, well, my memory fails me... But I remember that he can speak French and he's always very, very eager to remind you that "HE WAS RIGHT, ALL ALONG."



PS: Yeah, I've wasted a minute of your time just to crow like an idiot. But it feels good, man!

They can add all they want it still looks below par compared to it running on CryEngine 2.

The fancy new lighting can't hide the fact that it looks like a dog.... By the look of it they've had to strip so much grass and foliage out of the game just to get it to run... decently.

Modded the game looks leagues above anything I've seen on 360, PS3 or any other game for that matter.

 

I think one of them who said Crysis was possible on PS360 was Fran, who unfortunately we don't hear much from anymore.

It is interesting however that the argument from one side went from "not possible - end of story" to "might be possible but it will look like a totally different game" to . . . well . . . whatever the current arguments are.

 

As far as I know Fran's at Crytek and helped programming CE3; the studio may simply have a different policy on forum postings compared to Lionhead and that may be why he isn't active any more.

Or he might have been chased away by the influx of... less than interesting posts. See repi's tweets misinterpreted all the time as another example. I also noticed that assen, DeanoC or nAo doesn't post as much anymore, either, yet most of them haven't changed jobs as far as I know. B3D isn't what it used to be?

 

Obviously it can be done, with more effects too - but at what costs? Foliage, based on trailer and screenshots is for example almost gone - is it worth the extra effects?

Is "more effects" better than foliage?
Is foliage better than "more effects"?

Could it be done with foliage and same/similar effects?

 

It doesn't look like a dog on consoles, at least not in comparison with other shooters, its more complex to. And yea, we all know modded Crysis is best thing since sliced bread, but this is console forum and there is no need to talk about how much better Crysis looks on maxed out PC, we got it.

 

Any game can be ported to console, they did get Zaxxon working on a 2600 after all. What it comes down to is will the compromises be so severe as to change the game. Some stuff in these new Crysis console pics actually do look better than the original game, but I dunno so far it looks like a different game aside from the name. Would have to try the demo I guess, maybe it will play "just like the arcade" and still have the Crysis feel.

 

+1.
