You're probably dead tired of this dragged out rumor by now but it's still spreading like wildfire. Animal control would have been called a dozen times by now over this dead horse being beaten, but alas, the horse continues to take punishment.

PSW, a United Kingdom based magazine, has announced within its pages that Crysis will indeed see the light of day on the PlayStation 3. We've included below not only an image of this page, but the quote from it as well.

"First up, we have Crysis. Now it's no secret that Crysis is coming to PS3 this year. The excitable, hard-worked coders over at Crytek have said as much in many interviews - they've even produced a new, multi-platform engine in readiness - but the real juice here is that it won't be a straight conversion of the PC game. We understand PS3 Crysis will be an almost 50% new game, with many of the original games staff taken off PC Crysis months before release to begin to work on Crysis 2 and a port to PS3 that will include aspects of the sequel - but a new structure, environments, weapons and enemies will feature on PS3. This should be one of the year's biggest console shooters."



We've contacted Crytek in order to find out further information in regards to this rumor and we'll be updating this article once they get back to us. We're hopeful that they'll shed some light on yet another Crysis to PS3 rumor.

    If games on PC's are to be ported to PS3...this is how it should be done, not just a straight port....but with added changes (for the better of course!). Especially when they'll be about a year old by the time they're released! Hope we get to play this this year!

    I am ambivalent about this, since it seems a tad unlikely. However, I would love to see it on the PS3.

    I thought this was the best game on the PC when I played it, (with the exception of lagging), but I think this would be better on the PS#. I prefer controllers than keyboards for FPS.

    i saw crysis running on a high settings on a pc and it has the best graphics that any game has ever had i would get it on day one

    Hey, YoBoyRob9041226:  High settings aren't max.  Try hunting down this game maxed out with full AntiAliasing and Anisotropic Filtering.  PS.  Prepared to have your face melted!

    hope this is true.

    Please let this be real. I have been dying to try this game out.

    psn id: gingo.... hmmm yet again i see only rumour material for this story i'm starting to think it may be true but i really want to hear it from the horses mouth, hopefully we will hear something this week

    hope its true, but if crytek says its not then thats just typical

    From what I read, I'm pretty excited, but I wont be convinced 100% that Crysis is coming to the PS3 unless Crytek confirms it. I don't want to get hyped up and excited about Crysis if it's not really going to come to the PS3.

    I don't know anything about Crysis and I've never seen any screen shots of the game, but I know that Crysis was a really hyped game. I read that Crysis really turned out to be a pretty average shooter with ultra-realistic graphics and many PC owners had to upgrade their computers just to play the game...But I will definantly pick up Crysis if it comes to the PS3. If Crysis is really coming to the PS3, it sure will give us PS3 owners just another reason to laugh at the Xbox 360 because Crysis couldn't be released on the 360 because it wasn't powerful enough, Ha ha.

    This would be SWEET if it is true. It definitely make PS3 year of the PS3. P.S. Gingo, you may as well stop writing your PSN: ID because your friends list is maxed out. I tried adding you, but it wouldn't let me

    finnaly if crysis goes to ps3...i wont have to upgrade my computer haha...well hope the gameplay and everythin will be similar to the pc..

    though i might still upgrade pc for crysis but later...way later in the future.

  19. Akalakabaka

    • 9:53pm GMT - March 2nd, 2008

    sweet, but it scares me that it won't be a direct port

    • 10:53pm GMT - March 2nd, 2008

    lets hope if this is true that it doesnt come out this year, because theres enough damn games! i wouldnt even mind if a few fall 2008 games were pushed to 2009.

    Same here - Crysis is the best game Ive ever seen. If this comes to PS3 then I'll take a month off work.

    www.YourPS34free.com/index.php?ref=4755645 This link will guide you through the EASY process of getting a brand new retail Playstation 3! Here is how it works! First and foremost this is NOT like those other offers you see all over the web, where you are required to sign up for a million "free" offers that end up taking forever and costing you a bunch of money and a headache. You click this link and sign up for their referral program. With this program you are required to participate in only ONE of their sponsor's offers, the one I chose was the yahoo success kit, which only cost $1.95. That’s all I have paid so far! Once you sign up for your ONE required offer you use the link they provide you and post it on forums, or send it to friends, and if someone uses that link to sign up and complete one offer of their own, you get a referral. Here is the cost breakdown of the referral system. 8 Referrals = New retail 40gb PS3 10 Referrals = New retail 60gb PS3 12 Referrals = New retail 80gb PS3 and ONE game of your choice 14 Referrals = New retail 80gb Ps3 and two games YOU CHOSE (includes new releases like Uncharted: Drake's Fortune or Ratchet and Clank Future etc…) Plus many more PS3 offers and others including up to $475 in CASH I have been a member for 3 days and have 10 completed referrals on my account, well on my way to my chosen 14 (Already enough for a 60gb or 40gb PS3). I also have 250 people, who have signed up; if any 4 of them complete an offer I have my Ps3 and two games. It can take up to 3 days for a completed offer to process, so I may have already reached my goal. The company even covers shipping and handling so there is no hidden costs of ANY KIND. This website even has you create an account so you can track your progress the entire way through, and once your package ships, they supply a UPS tracking link. It is extremely user friendly I recommend you research this company online, as they are proven legitimate and not in any way a scam. EGM magazine actually did a story on them 2 years ago to see if they were legit and did in fact get a free system, so they proved it worked! The way it is possible is these sponsor's pay this company money for referring people to them, and using a portion of that money, buy you a PS3 as an incentive for helping them advertise. It is a pretty nice scheme, but it results in me getting something for free so I don't care. This will be my third free thing to get from this company; I have a 360 elite and iPhone for the cost of about 5 dollars. Enjoy your free system, free isn't a bad deal for a great console and a Blu-Ray player! www.YourPS34free.com/index.php?ref=4755645

    If this turns out true...major burn on all the 360 fans that are always dissing the PS3. Also, we get a damn good game exclusive. Hope it happens

    • 3:47am GMT - March 3rd, 2008

    Really hope this is true. Sounds true, about how they took off some of the team months before to start work on it. Sounds like a prettty fleshed out rumor. Hope it's true. It would be awesome if it was only for the PS3. For some reason I get MORE excited for exclusive games then multi-platform ones, guess I'm too much of a Sony fan.

    I would love to see this game come to PS3, I do not have a a good enough PC to run the gam.  By making this game for PS3; Im sure Crytek would make alot more money off this great looking game.
