Original Crysis Coming to Consoles

That's my point. I don't know why there are so many comparisons in the thread. Consoles aim to be "good enough" by definition.

I mean you weren't going to run it very well at 1920x1080 on an 8800 GT. The game ran reasonably well and looked great but performance was very resolution-sensitive because the game is so fill-rate intensive.

But whatever, I think the only relevant comparison is how the game looks compared to other console games.

Crysis 1 on consoles? What, is it going to be pre-rendered with cues to tap a direction like Dragon's Lair?

They downgraded the shit out of the graphics in Crysis 2 to come up with something that stood a chance at being translated to home consoles. Then the console versions needed to be downgraded further on top of that. There is no chance they can get anything that looks like Crysis 1 running on a Zboz or PS3.

I don't think you're qualified to talk about this.

Remember when Cheebs posted that modded-the-fuck-out Crysis super jungle video and wanted us to be OUTRAGED that Crysis 2 didn't look like that when Crysis 1 didn't even look like that?

I'm kinda torn about this. A Crytek employee recently talked about how wasteful Crysis was when it came to resources, and I'd really really really like to see an optimized version of C1 on PCs running on CryEngine 3, but I don't want the lighting to look like that flavor-blasted goldfish stuff that we're getting in the pictures. Apparently this is being handled by a guy that did graphical mods for C1 or C2 PC (I forget), but that's exactly what it reminds me of. A super-crushed graphics mod.

I'm guessing the levels will probably be downsized and some of the NK soldiers' voice samples get cut out in order to fit into 512MB RAM. Should this happen, they better not remove "Die like a fuckin' dog!" or "I'll kill you for fun!".

Crysis 3 can wait for next-gen, so that Crytek won't have to concede shit to the limits of PS3 & 360. PS4 and Xbox 720 systems need a mouse/keyboard option as well. Nvidia Kepler or Maxwell (or whatever AMD equivalent) GPU in the new systems at least, plz.
