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.

"Crysis could be on the 360 or PS3," Yerli said. "It requires optimization, that's what we've always communicated," he ... » Read More

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 ¿ while a revamped PC port of Gears of War certainly is.

Thursday 26 October 2006 This amazing gameplay footage from PC super-shooter Crysis shouldn't show you anything new - unless you've been living in a box under the sea for the past two years - but it'll still blow your mind from here to next Tuesday with some truly gobsmacking jungle-based blasting and a teasing glimpse of the brittle ice-world at the centre of Crysis' pacific island locale. Hit the movies tab and enjoy. With you fighting both a trigger-happy Korean army and a horde of ... » Read More

Monday 9 October 2006 Crysis, the spiritual successor to Far Cry and one of the most visually impressive games shown at this year's E3, could make the shift from PC to next-gen consoles, according to developer Crytek. "I don't think there would be any problem," reckons lead artist Michael Khaimzon, contrary to the response given to GamesRadar by Crytek's president, Cevat Yerli, who stated, "It's PC only". "We have enough power here to be able to do such a thing. It's just a matter of making ... » Read More
