Why?

Why?
Money. The number of people that own consoles is greater than the number of people that own Crysis capable PCs. Plus its digital distro so pretty much free money.

Nope, some of cryteks games have been though. They always went on and on that they couldn't release crysis 1 on console. I guess the money finally talked. Looking at the trailer I hope they patch in the ability to grab people for stealth kills into the PC game, that would be great.

I dont see how they are going to do a direct port over to counsel. Crysis 1 was was far more complex game play than Crysis II. They're going to need more buttons on that game pad.
could it be crysis1 on cryengine3 ?Most probable (easiest) method.

This is apparently a screenshot from the console version.

Here's the corresponding pc version one.

The game seems very lacking on the console, looks like low-medium graphics as well.

Considering how the PS3 and Xbox 360 couldn't run Crysis 1 back when it was released.... what makes them think those consoles can somehow run it now?
After seeing the screenshots, it's definitely crippled beyond recognition.

This is simply lol.
Now the question is, if they knew this was going to happen, why did they ignored the story so far?
Crysis 1 aliens needed cold and had freezing weapons, and they could fly too.

They did say back in 2007 (When they were still a PC developer company and lacked the BS we've seen in the past year) that to get Crysis running on consoles it would have to be rendered with the equivalent of medium settings or similar, and of course running at no more than 1280x720 @30fps. Guess they totally went with it now.
Since they already have optimized Cryengine 2 for consoles in the form of Cryengine 3, this port must have been relatively easy to make, or at least not too expensive.
RaZz!

everything else would be stupid as they just needed to port the content.
i'm eagerly awaiting the day this gets released and gaming sites all over the net will compare pc crysis to console crysis and once more come to the conclusion that the pc version, even though it's 4 years old, still looks way better than the console version!

This is so pathetic, I can't even begin to explain...I was going to buy Crysis 2 but I think I'll just live without it now...

The mocking videos and images are going to be hard to swallow for console fans...
This is going to clear any doubt from those that were still not convinced that Crytek developed and designed Crysis 2 with console limitations in mind.
Crysis 2 didn't have that much of a noticeable difference between versions because of that, but with Crysis the difference is going to be massive. The jungle parts are going to be laughing material, and I don't know what they are going to do with the boss battle in the ship...
With Crysis they are doing what they should have done with Crysis 2: Developing the game for PC (Most powerful platform available) then adapt it for other platforms by making it run with the highest setting possible for said hardware (In this game apparently that means medium).

XS downscales the images posted so it does not look bad as it really is until you see them at their real size, so best view the direct links to really see the difference.
Also noticed the vales on the oxygen cylinders are the wrong way around & not connected to the pipes with the shadows wrong.

Think about this more, won't the storyline and aliens completely confuse many console players?
The aliens, their habitats, tactics, looks, abilities and terrain are all vastly different in Crysis 1 compared to 2.
So much so that they're a completely different game with the only thing connecting them being Nomad, the nanosuit and the name Crysis.

That's exactly what I tried to say in my preivous post :)
Besides, Crysis 2 multiplayer is much better than the first one ever was.
How are they going to adapt the controls?
Ammo switch, peek right/left, four nanosuit modes... That's too many buttons.

Wow, the console version looks like crap if you asked me, no surprise really because the 360 and PS3 is horribly outdated.
This game today even brings down the highest end PC on its knees on the highest resolution at over 1080p, considering this game was released back in 2007.

Eh just more console slurpage from Crytek. Nothing new here.
I take comfort in seeing how bad the graphics are compared to my maxed out PC version of the games. :) Absolutely zero comparison.

Because we definitely need more CoD MP impersonations in the FPS world. :rolleyes:

Who cares consoles suck
The millions of people that have consoles and haven't played it on PC? The hoards of people who still only have a gaming PC for a few exclusive titles and would like to get rid of it and move to consoles? All the people that have heard about it but still can't run it off the computing platform they have (IGP, low end mobile graphics).
There are lots of people that might want this.

True, but... most people couldn't max it out on a PC when it hit. It looked like that, or worse, for most people when it came out. It was just a mess. So that kinda shows that had they released it when it hit on PC as well, if you weren't sporting an 8800, you could have been better off consoling it. Furthermore tons of people still can't run it and have it look better than that.
Would I buy it, no. Because I already have the game and can max it on a PC. But there are lots of people for whom this would be a way to play crysis. It kinda defeats the point though, as it wasn't that good of a game.

I take it this is sarcasm? It must be.
You could run the game grand with any 8800 card at 1280x1024 at high as long as you didn't put AA on.
Hell you could play it alright'ish at 1600x1200 or 1920x1200 at high if you had a quad-core and at least a 8800GTX/Ultra.
