Crysis May Hit Next Gen Consoles: Part Deux

We’ve been through this whole "Could Crysis come to consoles?" discussion multiple times now but today, we’ve got a confirmed answer of sorts for you and that is YES!, Crysis could come to the Xbox 360 and the PS3... as long as it sells well on the PC.

Here’s the lowdown straight from Crytek CEO, Cevat Yerli in a recent interview with Game Informer:

"What happens next we haven't decided yet, because first we want to see how the game is received, publicly and critically, ratings wise, et cetera. We believe it will be received at least as strong as Far Cry. I hope personally a 5% average increase. That would give us an argument to, 'OK, let's see how we can bring Crysis to consoles.' The engine right now is running on consoles so there's no reason why we couldn't."

All said and done I’m sure the game will sell well and I’m even more sure of the fact that EA will want to milk the franchise as hard as humanly possible so I really wouldn’t be surprised to see a Nintendo DS version of Crysis floating around in the near future.
