The original Crysis is back, and on consoles.

Crysis: console edition is the pc-exclusive wide open shooter coming to consoles. There will be some new features, such as remastered lighting.

Not much is known at the time, so have a trailer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHlPvwLOE8k

"All new lighting" and "all new effects" are just marketing code for "vastly inferior to what you got on PC, but still the best your stuffty console can hope to render."

God it looks like they just ported Crysis to the CryEngine 3.

forget that's awful. Crytek really went downhill with this "console" bullstuff.

I don't see how you guys see it as bad. It looks pretty good to me.

The gameplay looks amazing and the detail is fantastic. Not to mention the destruction.

And it's not extremely linear like most shooters out there. You have a wide variety of choices of what to do. You can be stealthy and sneak past them, or start a huge firefight.

And if you weren't, watch the trailer in 720p It looks much better that way.

I never said that the game was stuff.

But porting Crysis to a console is literally an atrocity.

I also don't see how much of a difference it makes that it's a port. It's still the same game, except that you can't see your super important HD reflection in the water, etc.

Rate the game, not the platform.

Crysis is fun, I don't care about graphics so I might buy it.

"Oh look people are having fun. YOU AREN'T HAVING AS MUCH FUN AS WE ARE!"

I just think its real heresy that Crytek is moving towards consoles instead of being the developer that pushes PC machines beyond their limits.

I can't call them a "PC developer" anymore.

Okay?

So long as millions of people play consoles, developers will make console games for more money as well instead of just restricting it to PC.

This may be a bit off topic, but I don't care if companies port their games to PC, as long as it's a good port.

Also, what font is this video using?
