Developer Crytek's upcoming jungle based shooter (not Far Cry 2) Crysis, is one pretty game and will push the limits of the PC, but according to lead artist, Michael Khaimzon, this game could very well see the light of day on next gen consoles namely the Xbox 360 and the PS3 (don't worry, the Wii is getting its very own Far Cry).
I have no clue as to what brought about this change of heart as Crytek were adamant that consoles wouldn't be able to handle Crysis sometime ago, but I guess that's been sorted out now and here's what Michael Khaimzon had to say in an interview with gamesindustry.biz. "I don't think there would be any problem to convert anything we work on to the next-gen consoles if we decided to. We have enough power here, with programmers and artists, to be able to do such a thing. It's just a matter of making the decision. We would just have to see how much of a sacrifice to the game we'd have to make. Or whether there would be a sacrifice at all, 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".
When asked for some sort of a confirmation, he played it safe by saying that there weren't any 'official plans' as of now, so we’ll just have to wait and watch.
