crysis or something else..
at least ,they probably want to make cyrsis engine a middleware cross platform solution.

About as reliable as a guy working in McDonalds telling you he's really a secret agent undercover
In other words: nothing in that article says confirmation about the game coming out on PS3, or X360 for that matter.
Everyone figured a console version would eventually make its way after the PC version ships(were talking about EA here as the publisher after all
), though at this time, any rumors should be expelled because the Crytek guys are really getting tired of answering that one Let's just say that GamesRadar should not be on your gaming news radar...
Here's the official word on the issue: http://incrysis.com/crysis/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=250&Itemid=2

My predictions.
The PC game will sell like hot cakes.
Developer looks at the sales and thinks to himself, "I can make more money on consoles".
Game will shift to PS3/360.
This happens almost ALL the time.
Lol but what would the console gamers say when the future xbox360/PS3 version or next game in their line looks worse than than the years old Crysis for PC? Nay less money but leaders in the graphics department if they keep it for the PC!

Yeah, which is what happened with the Original Far Cry right?
The Original Far Cry never came to consoles, Ubisoft just made some odd ports of the game minus the sandbox world, which made the original so good in the first place

But there is a difference this time, (unlike FC) Crysis is being developed when the current console gen has just begun.
Not at all. The Cry 2 engine from my knowledge has been built with support for the 360 and PS3, but never has a Crysis game been announced for either of those platforms. There's been tons of rumors about it, but they've all been continually shot down.
All this guy said is they are working 100% on finishing the pc version and they don't cmment on future news.
Neither of which is suprising. Neither of which discounts the possibility/probability of the game coming to ps3/xb360. In fact, the knowledge that their engine was developed with consoles in mind suggests to me that they do intend to bring the game (in some form) to consoles.
That has been my speculation. By keeping it "PC only" in all the news and "talking up" how it could not be done on the consoles, when the game does well on the PC they open the gates wide open for the, "As platformA matured we realized we could bring our vision of Crysis to the consoles, but platformB just wouldn't cut it". From their perspective getting cash for an exclusive and getting to have a more focused port makes a lot of sense. And seeing as they are focused on the PC version right now there is no point announcing a console version until they begin serious work. They have been looking for 360 and PS3 devs for a while, so my hunch is they are working a little on the middleware aspect but development is all PC right now with an eye for a BIG console payday, but it exclusive or multiplatform.
All I can say is I don't want to see another Instincts style game...

Agreed, not that instincts was a terrible game, it just wasn't very true to its name and imo PC Far Cry was a much better game anyway.
The hype is from two parts: The bleeding edge technology, and then that its from Crytek developers of Far Cry (the PC game, not the console "ports"). Far Cry is considered a great game in its own right, so there's a lot of hope that Crysis is going to deliver in both technology and a great gameplay experience.
It would highly depend on if its a straight port from the PC version, or a tweaked version. Far Cry on the consoles was not even the same game, the console version was highly changed to the point it was not even the same game besides setting. If it would be possible to deliver a open experience on console without significant reduction in graphics, physics, etc then it would do very well, otherwise the hats off.
We will have to wait and see how Crysis performs on modern GPUs at 1080p and 720p resolutions, but according to Crytek themselves the Crytek 2.0 engine and Crysis itself will scale to run on 3 year old hardware:
3 years would be Q1 2004 which is pre-NV40 (GeForce 6 series) and pre-R420 (Xx00 series) GPUs. This indicates they expect Crysis to "run" on FX5x00 and Radeon 9x00 class hardware. What Yerli is saying makes absolute sense as limiting their market to the last year would be fiscal suicide.
RSX (G70 @ 500MHz) and Xenos are competitive against the flagship GPUs available in Q4 2005 and early in Q1 2006 (X1800 and 7800GTX 512MB). Crysis is likely to run on GPUs with 128MB of memory, much slower GPUs, a single CPU core, and with a bloated OS hogging memory. There will need to be compromises in any port, but compromises compared to G80/R600, which less than 1% of gamers have.
I think Crytek has created a nice little situation to really cash out on an exclusive with Crysis, be it the PS3 or 360. In many ways I think Sony could snag a major win with a Crysis exclusive as the PS3 is weaker in the FPS category and they could definately use the hype Crytek has built in regards to Crysis as an example to validate the PS3 technical superiority.

What technologies and requirements are going to pose the most demands on the hardware? Thinking of things that set Crysis apart, it's the detail in the ground that impresses me, and that's voxels, right? Don't they map well to vector crunches like SPE's or Xenon's VMX? I kinda feel the only real limiting factor is the memory.
