At least console only gamers get to play the better Crysis game.

@Sneakybadger: Come on. Nice comparison? They're not even the same environment or contrast levels. I'm all for legitimate comparisons, but that is not one of them.

One of the biggest things about this game was how graphically advanced it was. The gameplay was certainly good but because it was so insanely gorgeous and required such mammoth system specs, that was almost part of the appeal.  The challenge of having a computer good enough to run Crysis. Tuning it down so it will run smoothly on a console means you essentially strip one of the biggest selling points away immediately.

Anyway, I'll probably get this. Hey, it's only supposed to be $20 and it still looks good. Not as good as the PC version, but I really liked Far Cry on PC and this is pretty much that on consoles. And I played that without all the fancy graphics.

That looks absolutely fantastic.

Crysis is STILL difficult to run full max with steady framerates - stunning that they could get this to run on current gen hardware. What is essentially a 512mb card pushing those visuals is awesome.

that said, I'm still not going to buy it. My pc and I are close, I met her when this came out in '07 lol.

"Console noobs" and "dumbing down" aside, Crysis is still a great game that everyone should play.

@wafflez: Console fans of Crysis 2 that haven't played Crysis.

You mean console players who thought Crysis 2 was an abomination, and want the actual and only Crysis game that matters.

Wow, GB is running ads for video games before actual videos now? Not cool, IMO.

While the graphics may have been a selling point, it's not what brought me back. It's certainly not what made me play the expansion and the sequel. I love Crysis as a game before a tech demo. As long as the game itself survives this port, I'll be picking it up (as in, not nerfing the size of the environments etc...)

@Napalm: No, that's not what I meant but it could be that too if you want. I liked Crysis more than 2 as well but I wouldn't go as far as calling it an "abomination". I had some great moments in 2. A little underwhelming though for sure. I'm still a Crysis fan.

I play games on a ps3, can't afford a gaming PC because my ps3 was a gift, and I am fully aware that this is going to look bad...so I can only assume it's a cash grab then. Also I don't see what makes this game special if you don't have to build a pc for it.

FYI, game trailers have only been on GB since FOREVER.

I wasn't talking about trailers. I was talking about the 30 second video ad that played for Dead Island before the actual video. For me, at least.

Ah, my mistake then. Yeah, sorry to hear that, ads do suck. At least it's a game-related ad and not some Volkswagen thing?

It's a temp marketing deal, there was a similar promotion for Halo Reach last year I believe.

Beat it earlier this year on PC. I'll probably get this one too even though it'll be inferior.

What made them decide to do this now? Timing wise there were a couple of better opportunities to do something like this.
