Crytek seeks PlayStation 3 programmer

NewsPosted 01/08/2006 - 2:20pm GMT+1

Far Cry and Crysis developer Crytek has posted a job ad seeking a PlayStation 3 programmer.

When Crysis was unveiled it wowed onlookers with its real-world environments that pushed the envelope of video game graphics. The game was announced for PC only, but rumours emerged of the game's development on next-gen consoles.

A job ad placed by Crytek seeking a PlayStation 3 programmer with cross-platform code development experience has once again given life to said rumours. One of the listed responsibilities for the successful applicant is to "work on various aspects of porting to PS3 and creating solutions to get the utmost out of the PS3," hinting strongly at an existing game being moved to the PS3.

Crytek has recently gone on record as saying Crysis remains a PC exclusive, at least in its current form, but the advertisement does at least confirm some kind of next generation console development. Crytek is also known to be working on several different titles, so jumping to the conclusion that Crysis is coming to the PlayStation 3 is a little too zealous at this time.

As the xbox resembles more a pc, i think it would be easir to achieve this level in the xbox. The xbox has 512 MB the memory that can be splitted as the programmers like between gpu/cpu. The PS3 has 256 MB for cpu e 256 MB for GPU, fixed.

I have seen this game mentioned all over the place but until today I never checked to see what the hype was about.

The high credits look to be well deserved. The graphics are excellent. These are PC graphics that I saw but I am pretty sure a PS3 version would look the same. (This is were 512 mb of GPU ram on the PS3 would have come in handy) . Once again the 360 is a nice machine but I seriously doubt that the graphics could look like this ([PC version/only version as of today] - http://www.gamespot.com/pc/action/cr...reenindex.html).
