Next Gen Consoles Can't Run Crysis

Team Xbox has word from Bernd Diemer, the senior game designer of Crysis, that the fancy new 360 you have or the pricey PS3 you crave isn't even powerful enough to run Crysis. Team Xbox has the official word from Diemer.

Diemer explained that “next generation consoles like the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3 do not offer the sufficient power” to assure the quality of gameplay Crytek demand for Crysis.

Crysis has been hailed by most as the best looking game ever. It will run in Windows on DirectX 9, but Crytek has stated that only DirectX 10 on Vista will run the game as intended. Still, if Half Life 2 and Far Cry could make it to the Xbox, I'm sure we'll be seeing next gen Crysis in some capacity.
