Crysis Arrives for Consoles on October 4

I like how most people in here have like 4-8 posts. Troll account influx?

Well, I loved the first Crysis when it was new. Couldn´t play it maxed out, but pretty close to it. Crysis 2 is a great game too, just different. Don´t lose your shit about it. I´m curious about this version.. a demo would be nice. Really hate all these Games on Demand things that keep popping up without any demo. So, maybe a QL to help us out?

i was expecting 40 dollar, but 20 is even better. Crysis had no online multiplayer right?

It did have MP and it was actually pretty cool for a while. So is this a Games on Demand thing, or is 20 dollars the new 15? Bets on if GB loads up the original Crysis for comparison to the new one? I think they're all afraid of that game.

I think its a fair price . Its not really a run of the mill xbla game

Console gamers finally get the GOOD Crysis, assuming they don't change much. They'll finally see just how bad Crysis 2 is :/ ugh

Bad date. By the time I finish Dead Island, Gears and Dark Souls I'll be getting into Arkham Asylum, Saint's Row, Uncharted and Skyrim (to name a few). By the time I'm done with those I'm pretty sure my desire to finally see Crysis will be long forgotten.

Man, I had no idea that console gamers were so insecure. Not 2 min go by and I have people misunderstanding and taking offense to my comments. Oh well, long live opinions and peoples' right to express them.

I didn't say they were stupid. Why are you putting words in my mouth? I was driving at the fact that most console shooters are linear and explain everything that you have to do to complete an objective. Rarely do you get to tackle objectives from dozens of different angles in console shooters like you can in Crysis.

Crysis has so much freedom that you, the gamer, decides how much fun it is and I'm worried that console gamers won't "get" this concept.

The fact they don't use their PC for gaming does not make them stupid, where does this comment even come from?

I'm glad that console gamers will get to play Crysis. (Even though Crytek completely destroyed the story and game play in the sequel.) But I have serious doubts as to whether console gamers will understand/enjoy the game. Crysis has so much freedom that you, the gamer, decides how much fun it is and I'm worried that console gamers won't "get" this concept. Basically what I'm driving at is: Crysis is as fun as you make it with all the tools that are given to you. This game won't spoon feed you, you actually have to use your imagination a little. Crazy concept for a shooter game, I know. Lol.

I absolutely love Crysis because of all the different options that are available to you. Every time I play the game it is a very different experience, but seeing that screenshot where they took out all the foliage would completely ruin the game for me. I personally find the game most enjoyable on the hardest difficulty because it is very very realistic. Pretty much 2 or 3 shots will kill you, even if you are in armor mode and this forces me to think about tactics and plan out my assaults on the enemies. When I play the game I am constantly running behind bushes and diving prone position into foliage to avoid detection. At times I use hit and run or diversionary tactics which may be difficult to mimic on a controller.

I just hope that Crytek can make the game fun for console but I don't see how without all the plants and the precision of mouse and keyboard. Oh well, maybe they will get it right and I'm worried for nothing.

So is it XBLA or GOD afterall?

I like how people bitch about pricing saying "Since when do we have to pay 20$ for a downloadable game?!" and I paid 20$ for WipEout HD when it first came out.

The times, they are a-changin'.

I'm glad I only have to pay $20 for the console version. As opposed to it becoming a boxed game for twice or three times more cash.

I agree.

@SeriouslyNow: I say we ditch the car metaphor, because it's missing the point. Console gamers get a well done, if not parred down visually, port of a fairly fun hardcore pc game. Not only that, they get it at a stellar price.

Also, I wasn't referring to your statements towards me in when I talked about your negativity. I was directing it at your attitude (or rather, the perceived attitude) you've presented in this thread. Your posts have conveyed a message that this is an inferior game, on an inferior platform, and it looks crappy.

While the first two statements are technically true* (and the last one is a fair opinion), it's the presentation of those arguments that seems harsh. In layman's terms, your posts fell into the "pc elitist" catagory, and I don't say that trying to insult you, either.

*to qualify that statement, the console versions lack the ability to mod, and directx 10 features. To name a few.*

I said it looks like shit. I then explained why it looked like shit. You got up in arms and took my statements personally when there was nothing personal about them. I gave critique and you decided to label me. Get over yourself.

I never actually took it all that personally. I have no affinity for the console version of these games, so it's nothing to do with my personal feelings on this game.

I had just interpreted your comments as pc elitist, but after reading your later comments it just seems like you just decided to take a shit on the visuals. The part where I come in is just my general frustration with the subset of PC users who go out of their way to insult console games and gamers. Not that you necessarily fall into this group, but I certainly felt that way.

@CommanderZx2: why you hating

Bullshit. The PC version is still $20 after 4 years. Time for a price drop?

Crysis never really grabbed me.

For all the PC faithful who touted this game for so many years as being the benchmark for graphics and sandbox gameplay shouldnt they be pleased that all of us without monster PCs can enjoy the game they loved so much? I am just excited that I get to play a game I never thought I would and so quickly after Crysis 2! I agree that PC games will always look and run better on a PC but for the rest of us ham and eggers let us enjoy our economy edition Crysis.

Never had a pc good enough to run it. I'm excited.

Considering I only payed $10 for Crysis and Crysis Warhead on the PC, I think I'll pass.

This post was ambitious, but one has to ask; did it live up to the hype? Frankly, I found the post to be rough around the edges without much in the way of polish. It was mildly entertaining at first, but I don't see myself reading it again - which is a deal breaker for people looking for replay value. I have a hard time seeing how it is supposed to appeal to the casual audience, and all in all, this post can be summed up as a shallow experience that will leave you wanting for deeper immersion.

I give this review of a review 21 out of 72 maple leaves. (Inverted syrup scale of course)

Great to see Crysis running on a console. I still rank it was one of my favourites FPS's.

And its always funny to see this game (*still*) bringing out the inner PC neckbeard in some folk.

I love when people who barely know how to drink and fuck call others neckbeards.

I'd wager I'm older than you. Just relying on my instinct and endless wisdom.

Don't bet on it, unless you're almost 40.

Damn, you have indeed got a few years on me (I'm 31). I've squandered most of my adult privileges since having earned them (especially drinking, ugh) but women are fine by me.

I'd rather buy a patch for the PC version than buy this.

Im just gonna keep playing crysis on pc.

Minus the striking visuals, is this worth playing? Crysis 2 was meh-tastic.

Crysis is definitely the better game on PC so if they stick to the gameplay of the original then yes, definitely worth playing.

Even though I own it on PC and Crysis 2 also and a good PC, aswell as owning C2 on 360. I still want to pick this release up again. It should be fun going back trough it and get some achievements.

I know it will never look as good on the 360 as it does on the PC (witch still blows my mind today looking at it) but I'm fine with it. I can agree with the letdown that Crysis 2 didn't look as good on the PC as it should have.

@Cubical said:

God fucking Damn It looks like Ass it looks even worse than the PC on LOWiest Detail setting on a cheep walmart special PC and I thought Crysis 2 looked bad on consoles and they totaly ruined the Crysis engine to run and look like ass for console noobs on crysis 2 already.

And they can play it with crap slow ass unresponsive jittery analog stick aiming to top of the ensemble of suckage.

in other words nobody gives a fuck except console noobs since they Don't know any better because they have never been with in 700 feet of a real PC or PC first person shooter in there life and have only seen there ass dumb down first person shooters in person.

that is why this Console noob on the news loves Crysis 2 on XBox360 and thinks the obvious stuff like the 3ds don't look as good as the ps3 and is dumb enough to buy overpirced crap apple Products like the iphone.

Nice way to Butcher your game and Game Engine for the quick petty cash Crytek this is like porting a SNES game to the NES in fact they used to do that and it sucked back then Hell they ruined tons PC games over the years like quake and unreal UT99 with crap console ports too nice job jumping in on that crytek since you have no shame.

It's a solid single player fps with functional multiplayer if that's included in the console release. $20 seems like an amazing price for a game of that length.

@Cubical: Thank you so much for reminding me what it's like to be twelve and talk about something with no clue of the business side of things.

Sorry I made that post, that was a twelve year old comment to make. You have every right to have your opinion and I am sorry I made a very belittling comment.

jesus christ that screencap looks BAD!

Looks like Crytek did a pretty good job optimizing the game for consoles. Doesn't hold a candle to the PC version on maximum video settings, but at least you don't have to spend megabucks to play it like a lot of us did. $20 is pretty competitive.
 
I found the game very fun for about 2/3 of the campaign (after which it becomes a corridor shooter). It really has that Far Cry-esque non-linear island feeling in that you're free to get to the objective however you wish. When this came out, the suit abilities were a neat innovation (and still are, compared to Crysis 2's simplified version). Hope you new players enjoy it!

@SeriouslyNow: No it isn't. It's like saying a Porsche-styled VW is a good sports car for a thrifty shopper. As it stands right now, a 360 is $200, a pc that runs crysis (not that it's some kind of benchmark anymore) will still run, at the absolute cheapest, about $450.

My big point is, why are you being so negative and hateful in the first place? It just comes off as rude and disrespectful towards console gamers. (and just for clarification, remember that I'm both a pc gamer and console gamer)

A Porsche styled VW will never be a sports car. I'm neither being negative, nor hateful, I am stating my opinion. I'm a gamer. I also game on console.

@SeriouslyNow: Having played crysis on my pc, it looks really good on consoles! Granted, there's a fairly large amount of pop-in, and, like you said, no filtering on the textures. Those things just don't detract from the visuals that much when you consider how good it still looks in translation. On top of that, the framerate is silky smooth in the video.

Does it look like it's running on a pc? Heck no. Does it look great? sure

That's like saying that a Porsche styled VW Beetle is as good as a real 911 to someone who'll never own a real 911. While it may be true it will never make that Beetle feel like, look like or handle like a real Porsche 911 to someone who has driven one. The framerate isn't silky smooth either, when he turns there's noticeable frame drop. That's also one of the lowest impact areas of the game; it's a bridge with two checkpoints, with one animated gun and one AI trooper (in the vid) so it's hardly going to be indicative of the game's performance in high impact scenes with many enemies. Expect much lower framerates in proper combat.

...And to someone who doesn't, i.e. anyone who would even consider buying this because they don't have PCs, it looks really, really good.

Nah, that actually looks pretty great. Did you set the video to 720p?

Can't wait for this now. Just don't know when I'm going to have time to play it with the flood of other stuff.

It really doesn't and yes, of course I did. The complete lack of ground detail in terms of foilage, anisotropic filtering and depth of field makes it look arse to someone who knows how good Crysis is meant to look.

For those of you unaware and writing this off based on that comparison screenshot posted earlier: The devs have come out and said that all the trailer footage was from an old build. THIS is how it actually looks: http://www.abload.de/img/h5ecw44k1.jpeg

Yes, and they're also taking out the ascension level. Boooo. I'm still going to get it, because I think it'll (and hope it will) be great. Since it's going to be a bit different, I'm going to have to play differently, don't know if I like that or not yet.
