A state of Crysis
So, I guess Crysis on the 360 isn’t going to be. Not if what Electronic Arts says is true, anyways. According to a statement from a representative of Electronic Arts, the original story about Crysis coming to the Xbox 360 was a result of a miscommunication between an EA representative and a representative of 1UP.com.
While I cannot say I am not saddened by this news, it doesn’t completely surprise me. Crysis, once released on the PC, will run on DirectX 10, whereas the Xbox 360 runs on DirectX 9. So basically, the development house behind Crysis would have to develop a completely new game, replacing everything except the essential bare skeleton of the game.
Hopefully EA will sit back and reconsider Crysis on the consoles, though. But, only time can tell.

Meah! I saw this coming Crysis is supposed to be ridiculous and the sys reqs for it on pc are astronomical. 360 still has FarCry though but that franchise hasn’t been the same since Ubisoft took it over. I don’t even think that Crytek has any experience developing for consoles. They pretty much stick to their PC roots.
