Crysis 2 To Take Full Advantage Of The PS3
Editor-In-Chief of the Official PlayStation Magazine UK, Gary Steinman, has revealed some interesting thoughts on the PlayStation 3 running Crysis 2.
Talking about the the main feature of the March 2010 issue of the PTOM, Stein talks about how the visuals for Crysis 2 for PS3 is “stunning”.
Yes, it’s a PC franchise. But when it’s widely regarded as one of the greatest shooters to ever grace the big gray box, it matters.
But that’s not the only reason I put Crysis 2 on the cover. A few months back, an old friend at EA snuck in to PTOM towers and showed me top-secret footage of the game in action. It was stunning – better looking than almost anything I’ve ever seen on PS3. and here’s the best part: All the glorious wreckage, the metropolitan carnage, the dynamic lighting and the realtime destruction, was generated not on a PC, nor an Xbox, but PS3.
He continues to say how Crysis will take full advantage of the PS3′s power:
Yep this baby is being built to take advantage of the massive power the PS3 offers – which is nothing to scoff at, considering Crytek’s original Crysis was almost unplayable on anything but the highest-end PCs when it was released.
Five minutes after my pal left, I began the push to be the first magazine to reveal Crysis 2’s true glory. And here we are.
The shooter will be looking to raise the bar in terms of visuals this fall.

I read this article the other day. I’m looking forward to some live shots of this.
I enjoyed the first game….until about the 50% mark and then it went to crap.
I do look forward to seeing this run on the PS3 though.
I heard alot about these games when they were on PC and heard good things. I was always interested but have never been a huge PC gamer. This will be my chance I suppose.
this should be awesome. I have Crysis on my computer right now and even with the settings just on medium it looks better than a lot of things we see released now. I only expect great things from the people at Crytek and the CRYEngine, especially since I’m sure this is being built on the newest version of that engine.
hello …
i’m sure it can MAX out the PS3 if they put the effort, yet i need to see the finished product first.
don’t forget that this game is really impressive on the most powerful (yet expensive) gaming machine ever (the PC!) … LOL
hope they do a release of Crysis 1 & Warhead too on the same bluray on in the same pack or as a collection ..
cheers!
So is Crysis 2 an exclusive or what?
I have a feeling some of the older PS3′s might die trying to running this game for longer then 2 hours
hmmm finally though they start using it for games on ps3. they do have videos of crysis2 running on ps3 on youtube i believe
Crytek games usually start very strong and usually end very poorly. The final part of Far Cry was a testament of bad game design, and Crysis turned mediocre about half way through the game. Didn’t play the add-on though, so I can’t generalize
so is this for pc and ps3 only??
Widely regarded as one of the greatest shooters ever?? This is the first time I’m hearing that. Graphically, yes, but one of the GREATEST shooters ever?
first off… i dont think they’ll be “maxing” out the ps3.. more like using a lot more potential then seen so far ..and as far as older ps3s dying… i highly doubt it since theyre built like the new ones…cept mines got bwards compat.
@WestSide – I believe this going to be on the PC, PS3, and XBox 360, based on the facts that they showed off CRYEngine development tools for both consoles. It’s actually quite cool, they show how you can simultaneously develop a level(world) on the PC, PS3 and 360 using their sandbox editor tool.

This means the lead platform is the PS3 right? This should be good, we don’t have to worry about receiving bad ports. Porting from a PS3 to a 360 is easy as far as I know.
