Crysis for PS3: New Evidence Or Gamestop Screw-up?

PS3 News from N4G | Crysis

PS3 - Crysis - Crysis for PS3: New Evidence Or Gamestop Screw-up?

More evidence or another semi-HMV case? PS3Fanboy reports:
"An intriguing story, with interesting photos attached. We're still not convinced, however. Shops do crazy stuff all the time (HMV, anyone?). We love the idea that Crysis might be coming in the future, but until official word comes from Crytek then we're going to remain skeptical."

Crytek: "Crysis could be on the 360 or PS3"

PS3 News | Crysis

Crysis heading to PS3 and Xbox 360 - it's the speculation that's refused to lay down and die. And now, dangling a carrot in front of the faces of those who wish it would, Crytek says it could happen. "Theoretically, anything could run anywhere," Crytek CEO Cevat Yerli told UK PC Gamer magazine when asked if he still believed the first-person shooter couldn't run on console. "Crysis could be on the 360 or PS3," Yerli said. "It requires optimization, that's what we've always communicated," he ... » Read More

GameTrailers: E3 Game Awards (Part-02)

PS3 News from N4G | Crysis

PS3 - Crysis - GameTrailers: E3 Game Awards (Part-02)

Yesterday's openly salvo of GameTrailers.com's "E3 Business & Media Summit Awards" offered up nominations and winners across various categories, such as Best Racer, Best Action Adventure, Best PSP Game, and Best DS Game. And, to be honest, the winners and loses didn't really throw up many surprises.

However, today's second round of E3 Awards coverage may well stoke the fires of fervent fanboy fanaticism. And why?

Oh, because the Best First-Person Shooter category does not include nominations for Halo 3 and Killzone 2, because Sony comes under fire on various fronts in terms of Most Disappointing, and neither Mass Effect nor Assassin's Creed is given a nomination nod for Best Graphics Â¿ while a revamped PC port of Gears of War certainly is.

Could Crytek be following in the footsteps of Epic? There has been a job post on Crytek's official site looking for a PS3 developer for a few months now, however when asked about it Crytek declined to comment.

PS3 - Crysis - PS3 Programmers Wanted For CryEngine2: News Recirculation!

Remember last year when Crytek posted the job offer for a PS3 Programmer and all the gaming sites went crazy in presuming it was for a PS3 port of Crysis. Also remember how it was made rather clear that Crytek has plans to port CryEngine2 (not Crysis) and hence the reason why they want a PS3 Programmer?

PS3 News | Crysis

Crysis not coming to consoles... yet

PS3 News | Crysis

Much like a soap opera, it's getting pretty confusing following the twisted saga of Crysis' fate on consoles. We just want to know whether it's coming or not. Some of us pour all our money into consoles, not massive computer updates including new graphics cards or operating systems. What do we know so far? First, thats not how you spell “Crisis.” It is if youre Crytek, creators of the rather beautiful, original PC version of Far Cry. It is, in fact, a rather clever spelling in ... » Read More

Crysis PS3 first look

PS3 News | Crysis

The guy who looks like Spider-Man dipped in tar, packing a handheld tank is the special-ops type you play in Crysis. You are tasked with saving the world from aggressive extra-terrestrials, who've ploughed a pretty big asteroid into a Pacific island's countryside. Your character is dispatched to infiltrate the area, now sealed off by fast-arriving North Korean forces, to find out what exactly put a dent in the Earth's surface, and the first part of the game sees you traipsing through dense ... » Read More
