Post subject: Crysis Warhead on Consoles? Posted: 10 06, 2011 /03:30 |

Does anyone else want Crysis Warhead on consoles? I as a PS3 gamer as well as a PC gamer would really like to see it come to consoles. I think it would fit perfectly since original Crysis just came out on consoles with the improved controls and of course running on Cryengine 3. It would make perfect sense IMO for Crysis Warhead to come to consoles also but I haven't heard anything about it (except Cevat saying there were no plans). What do you guys think?

It would make sense to focus on the PC again and get back to the roots of the company by improving the technology instead on focussing to convert old PC games for old consoles.

Not happening Crytek is becoming a console focused company (look at Rysen) Honestly if they become the new Bungie equivalent for Microsoft I'll be completely happy with it

Its like buying a playstation 3 for playing Tetris.

for the same reason why roads are not built with a Ferrari in mind Boulder. Also...again....since there is more money to be made on Console either you adapt or you move to the nect PC centric studio.
If your phylosophy was right Crysis one (being a truly awesome game) would have sold a LOT more than it has and the franchise would have remained on PC.

Crysis 1 was actually a successful Pc game. It was no COD of course but it surely wasnt a disaster. The Yerlis and Crytek in general said it many times since now... Crysis was a financial success.. the Cryengine 2 was the disaster as noone licensed it. The problem is that very few people could play C1 on release. Crytek made the mistake to release a game that even the most expensive hardware at the time coudlnt handle. Also the game was pisspoorly optimized ( Some guys at Crytek even confirmed that). So the game got more popular 1-2 years after the release...as the hardware catched up to it.
Also your advice to focus on a pc centric studio would be a good one if there was any who pushes the grfx like Crytek did. Blizzard? Nah... they dont need new Engines or rendering techniques for roleplaying or strategygames. NEWS: THERE IS NO COMPANY LIKE CRYTEK ANYMORE!
First Epic (Megagames): Pushed the PC with Unreal until Unreal 2 ( at least the engine was from them). Then Crytek with Crysis 2.. and now even the godfathers @ ID. Its just a shame!

dude...it took Crysis 1 three years to reach the 3 million units mark and it took crysis 2 three months.
uhmmm as for your last statement....there's CD Projekt. There's DICE according to MMAMikey, The studio making Hard reset seems to be PC centric
Honestly I am sorry you are getting the short end of the stick like many others but sadly it's just the way it is....I know the feeling

And yet Crysis 2 hasn't outsold it by any significant amount if at all, and it's a multiplatform game. It really is just ignorance talking when console gamers think a PC-lead game wouldn't be better for them.
