Crysis Coming to 360, Sort Of

 

Crysisonline_2

Crysis director Cevat Yerli, to me, at CES, in answer to my question of when will we hear about console versions of the game: "We see [Crysis] as a painting. We have not finished the painting yet. As an artist, you paint one thing at a time. So when we're finished, we will re-evaluate what we should do next. What's important to us is to make the best PC game we can."

Okay, they're not talking yet. I get it. But apparently, that same day, somebody on the dev team actually went and told 1up exactly what their plans were. As paraphrased on this week's 1up Yours podcast (check the 22-minute mark): "With Crysis, the 360 game's not gonna be the same game, in the same universe [...] the 360 version is not gonna be the same thing. We're not even gonna try and replicate Crysis. [...] Same universe, some of the same story elements, but not a port of the game. Because it'd be disappointing..."

I lose this round!
