Crysis Arrives for Consoles on October 4

by on

$20 gives you the opportunity to see where Crysis began.

When Crysis was released, if you didn't have a massive PC rig, you were simply out of luck.
When Crysis was released, if you didn't have a massive PC rig, you were simply out of luck.

Crytek's Crysis was once the game to show off your PC rig, years before the studio added consoles into its playbook. As a result, console owners never had a chance to see what all the fuss was about, relegated to watching YouTube videos.

That changes next week, with an updated version of the original Crysis coming on October 4 to both Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network next week for $20 (1600 Microsoft Points). This version includes tweaked lighting, support for 3D and other enhancements meant to keep the game looking current.

It'll be interesting to see how Crysis holds up. Maybe some PC owners can drop in some thoughts?

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.

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.

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

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

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?
