Most of the console gamesrs think “Graphically(as in photo -realistic textures and well designed models) Crysis isn’t really better than most of the next gen games. But why can’t crysis come out for PS3 or xbox 360? There’s MGS4 on PS3 and Halo 3 for 360, if those consoles can run those high quality games, crysis should be a snap!”

It is quite true, however there’s a critical hardware problem in consoles that prevents them from running Crysis.

Let’s talk about the RAM for a while. RAM is the main memory that stores frequently used data and flashes those datas to the CPU because the CPU drawing data directly from the hard disk or the Optical Drive would take too much time

Xbox 360 has 512 mb of RAM and PS3 has 256. That’s not a lot compared to most of the computers these days. BUT, console games data files are actually divided into small enough segments so the RAMs can flash those datas to their CPUs.

For Crysis, it’s not in small enough segments. Not to mention that it can’t be divided. It at least requires 2 GB or RAM to handle all the datas in a single map. There are so many trees and every single leaf falls in different animations.

And toning Crysis down to Console levels with 256~512 MB RAM would mean giving up all those massive datas in one map which is the greatest part and the part that seperates Crysis from other shooter games.

As for the “powerful” RSX and Xenos, and Cell and the Tri-core processors yes, they are decent graphic cards and CPUs, and they will be able to handle Crysis if they had enough RAM. But it’s a sad fact that those two machines just don’t have enough.

So please, instead of suggesting impossible hopes to praise your beloved consoles, try playing your awesome console exclusive games.

They are not trying to pass the story off as fact, it is obviously a speculative piece.

When you add that up with the fact that they have developed a game similar to Crysis in Farcry for the consoles less powerful then the PS3 then why couldn’t they make Crysis work on Sony’s next gen console.

People seem to be focusing on the job board aspect of the post and missing the rest of the story. Let it go people, there is some good info here.

Now that I got that off my chest, crysis is perfectly capable of coming out on a ps3.
