"Crysis 1.5" for the PS3?
Techtree News Staff, Mar 05, 2008 1316 hrs ISTA couple of sites such as Joystiq have hinted that there'll be a PS3 version of the game that will be Crysis plus 50 percent new game; essentially a "Crysis 1.5" of sorts.
For quite a while now, there've been rumors floating across the Web about a "Crysis 1.5" from Crytek.
A couple of sites such as Joystiq have hinted that there'll be a PS3 version of the game that will be Crysis plus 50 percent new game; essentially a "Crysis 1.5" of sorts.
The news (if indeed true) is very likely to put off PC gamers who might have invested quite a bit into getting new rigs to play Crysis Next. Now, they'll have to contend with watching PS3 gamers play Crysis and a half ("Crysis 1.5") before they can actually get their hands on 'Crysis 2' for the PC.
Crytek's 'Crysis' has been quite the money spinner for PC graphics cards manufacturers, with several gamers having upgraded simply to be able to play the game on their PCs. Crytek's 'FarCry' too is said to have created a similar rush to upgrade graphics capabilities, and was subsequently transported to gaming consoles with a lot of "new" game play.
In February this year, Crytek unveiled a cross-platform version of its 'CryEngine 2' at the Game Developers Conference (GDC), and showed "how well the fully optimized" engine could run on a PC costing about $600. It's not known whether Crytek ran 'Crysis' or some other game on their platform.
Coming back to: is it going to be a "Crysis 1.5" for the PS3? For now, it's just a rumor we thought we should keep you updated about. Any further development, and we'll let you know... Meanwhile, both PC gamers and PS3 gamers, keep your fingers crossed for the best possible outcome!
