Crysis 3 'maxes out consoles', says Crytek CEO, 'not even 1% left'

"Crysis 3 is absolutely maxing out the consoles," Yerli told VideoGamer.com during a recent press tour of the game. "There is absolutely not even 1% left.

"No game will ever look technically better than Crysis 3 on these consoles, flat out. Most games are not even anywhere near Crysis 2 technically. I'm not talking about art style – art is subjective – but the pure fact of what we have been cramming in with Crysis 2 on Xbox [360] and PlayStation [3], I've yet to see a game do that still today.

He continued: "Any day I will take a battle against Gears and Halo, whatever, the amount of data we put in and the detail level is far superior. With Crysis 3 we're pushing that to another level, but the PC is just two levels beyond."

No surprise really, I don't think my computer will even be able to handle it with all settings maxed out.

im not surprised, Crysis is famous for being a bitch to run

"but the Vita is just two levels beyond."

Interesting.

I really had a lot of fun with Crysis 2's multiplayer. Even though it had a world of problems it was still very fun so I'm looking forward to this one.

I'm scared of Crysis 3. I think it'll probably kill my PC.

Thats because it will be optimized like shit like all Crytek games

Did they just decide "fuck it, we'll make games that are too good for all you fuckers."

They just suck ass at optimization

Crysis 1 was really only game they have made that was ahead of its time.

Crysis 2 was a step back from 1 in technicality IMO

Crysis 1 > 2

Crysis 2 has just optimized 1 engine better (ever so SLIGHTLY) and made the art style more "console like" to reduce the amount of processing power required.

They were forced to optimize since consoles have even less power than PC, and unoptimized CryEngine will simply not run at all on consoles.

Now, with new CryEngine, they are releasing a beta version of it as a full title once again... Crysis 4 (well, they said they will name it something else) will be optimized Crysis 3...

still need to get C2,multiplayer looked cool but I imagine it's kinda dead by now. I heard many articles saying all you had to do was camp being invisible

If this is true I hope there arent any performance issues.I dont want to play at 15 fps.The game does look amazing though.

I dont think it will be a constant 30.

Crysis 2 has pretty big frame drops on consoles.

They are pretty much tapped right now, which is why I find this comment redundant.

True,new consoles are needed.These things are too old,I was hoping it would happen this year but it didnt.

Same here. A generation shouldn't last any more than 5 years tops. This "longest ass generation ever" bullshit sucks.

eh, its saved me from buying new hardware for how ever many years I've had my Xbox, and tbh I don't care if graphics get a whole lot better from here on out.

Its not so much graphics, but processing power to create, bigger, more detailed worlds.

This gen is totally tapped and needs to die

Sad thing is the next gen will not be as big of a leap as people are hoping for.

To keep the consoles priced well, the jump in hardware is going to be small.

I'd prefer for the next gen to be stupidly overpowered and overpriced. Yet sold with a 5 year monthly contract to subsidize the price.

I really don't know if i'll buy next gen consoles since i am building a PC. Unless there's some exclusives that i just must have..

by that logic....just get a $2000 comp and an xbox controller?

thar you go

*insert Metal's PC ragehate here*

yea I wonder what the new consoles will even have to offer....native 1080p on all games?I know 1080p and 60fps wouldn't be possible even on the new consoles.

The games now days aren't even 720p,they're sub hd and just upscaled.

Although this gen looks good enough for me,I grew up on the SNES playing on RF adapter on a black and white small tv.

Been trying to talk my friends into maybe pc,they said they want to go PS4 if it has party chat for free,they said they get tired of paying for XBL when there's no exlusives they want.

the exclusives for xbox just don't do it for me.Burned out on Halo,it was just a cool thing when I was younger I guess.....roid rage Gears is old, Forza is decent but doesn't offer anything over Gran Turismo to me honestly (I'm happy still playing Gran Turismo 3 or 4 on the PS2 tbh)

on the other side of the coin,none of the damn exclusives for playstation look that great to me either >__>. Guess I just wound up on xbox because so many friends had it (being cheaper than playstation has been the answer they told me)

mouse and keyboard have yet to click with me and hurt my wrist,etc...probably just going to use a controller for most games on pc unless it's like RTS

im guessing that the next gen will either go for 60 FPS at 720, for the majority of games, or 30 FPS at 1080, for the majority of games.

considering that tons of console games have 30 FPS, with a few exceptions, i think they will go for 1080 as 30 FPS since people will see a large increase in graphical fidelity but the same framerate. console gamers will be used to 30 FPS and so probably wont care that its still 30 FPS
