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

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

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

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.

i'm yet to see an Ad in this site.

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.

@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.

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...)

@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.

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

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.

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.

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.

@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.

Well I'm glad its going to the consoles so other people, who couldn't afford a ridiculous PC when it came out, can enjoy a fantastic shooter (my favorite thing to do was destroy all of the buildings by throwing boxes at them). I was able to run crysis on its max settings when it came out and enjoyed the shit out of it.

There's much more "flat ground" visible then when I played it on PC.

well thats fine, as long as it IS CRYSIS and not a dumbed down version like the original deus ex, you know deus ex: the conspiracy for ps2 the large levels split into smaller sections with loading in between...it was still a great game though.

I've always wanted to see this game for myself without having to buy a new PC. 
Now I can. If I actually get around to it is a totally different story. 
 
...oh, and I want to see it for the for the openworlish gameplay, not the crazy graphics, so hopefully that will still be intact.

I'm glad they're porting this, because I always wanted to play it without any trouble. I had a pretty good PC that was able to play it on High @ 55-60 fps, but there was always some bug that kept it from being enjoyable (such as the sky turning green/etc). I have had so many problems with my PC and spent so much money on trying to improve it that I just gave up eventually and switched to consoles. Now I'll get to play this game without having to worry about problems anymore, even if it does look worse.

I'm guessing they implemented crysis 2's controls for the gamepad. I'd like that sorta controls for the PC version cause I honestly can't stand the controls(Crysis 1) on mouse and keyboard.

You can play the PC version just fine with a 360 controller. The game even detects it as a 360 controller and everything is pretty well mapped to it.

Sure you can play it with a gamepad but the controls also suck for it. The whole 4 powers and only 2 bumpers sorta screws the whole control scheme. I'd like to have the streamlined 2 power system and sprint or strength enabled whenever you click in the right stick or jump like in Crysis 2.

Except for the ADS controls. They mapped it to a bumper instead of the left trigger. Makes no sense.
