Cry Engine on the Nintendo 3DS? Maybe says Crytek
Crysis developers like what they see with 3DS, but will anything come of it?
Boss of Crytek, Cevat Yerli has spoken to CVG about the upcoming PC and console shooter Crysis 2. So what does that have to do with Nintendo you ask? Well in the same interview, Yerli has spoken up about 3D gaming and the Nintendo 3DS. According to Yerli, the developers have had the system demoed to them by a unnamed ’senior person at Nintendo.’ They came away from the demonstration saying "That demo showed me a very powerful piece of graphics hardware, as well as a very interesting user experience."
He added that "I think they have a very interesting platform on their hands. They have some problems here and there but they are aware and it’s nothing that cannot be ironed out. I think the price point they’re targeting is very interesting. Everything looks like a winner on that platform. I actually wouldn’t be surprised if there is some high-end gaming happening on that platform because of the raw power of the hardware.
This on the Nintendo 3DS? Yeah… no.
Nintendo showing off the 3DS to engine developers such as Crytek is very exciting, just don’t expect to see Crysis on the 3DS anytime soon, if ever.
