In a 180 degree turnaround from statements made in August, developer Crytek has confirmed that a PS3 or Xbox 360 port of next-gen PC shooter Crysis shouldn't be a problem.
Crysis boasts phenominal detail, but it's a PC-only title for now
Crytek lead artist Michael Khaimzon told GamesIndustry.biz that "I don't think there would be any problem to convert" the company's high-end PC shooter Crysis to the Xbox 360 or PS3. "It's just a matter of making the decision...[and] the decision isn't mine to make," Khaimzon said.
"We would just have to see how much of a sacrifice to the game we'd have to make...maybe we could find a way to make the game look exactly the same as it does on PC on the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3," he said.
The statements stand in direct contradiction to ones recently made by Bernd Diemer, Crytek's senior game designer.
"Next-generation consoles like the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3 do not offer the sufficient power" to handle Crysis, Diemer said at the Games Convention at Leipzig, according to German publication Heise.
