Crysis Coming to Consoles

[JeanLuc761]

Critically acclaimed?

I thought people considered it a slightly above average FPS? That's always the consensus I see anyway.

The only thing people were impressed by were the graphics.

Not at all, the game is fantastic. Strong and varied gameplay, exceptional level design...really, the graphics were just icing on the cake.

As far as the differences between the two versions go...well, here we are.

Obviously, the PC version is on the bottom and kicks the living crap out of its console brother. That said, the visuals in the trailer weren't all that bad for the Xbox 360.

Crysis simply sucks....want a good PC title on the consoles try Cryostaisis sleep of reason!

Good thing console players are blind. Cuz if they aren't that bloom lighting in the background blurring out everything beyond 15 meters should make them go blind.

 

[SageRuffin]

Have a wild guess why that was.

Spoiler

The game was made before porting it to consoles even crossed Crytek's mind. Because you are in a sense correct, despite being sarcastic. Consoles have not been heralded as the doom of gaming so far.

Keep it real, though. This is a game company wasting their time making an inferior version of the game, and you expect people not to flame them for it.

I figured that was obvious, hence me not saying anything about it.

As for the flaming... hey, better them than us console players being called a bunch of slack-jawed yokels if only because using a keyboard feels awkward. I can certainly roll with that.

As one who suffers from myopia and thus needs corrective lenses, I find your comment as quite offensive, joking or otherwise.

I'll be damned... this may be the first thread I'll see that won't have PC enthusiasts demonizing consoles (since they already their game with all their fancy little hotkeys).

I may not be fond of FPSs but I'm not abhorrent to them. I'll give this a spin when it drops.

Fucking yes. Crysis 2 with big open jungle levels. I'll get it. Shove your PC up your nose.

Oh the irony.

OT: Looks like Crysis 1 with Crysis 2's inferior nano-suit so I'll pass. I'm just mad that if they are able to fit Crysis enormous levels on console hardware then why the fuck couldn't we get a proper sequel as well? Sure Crysis 2 is pretty open compared to Call of Duty but when compared to Far Cry and Crysis 1, then Crysis 2 is played in a fucking matchbox.

 

[Jonathan Bradford]

I really wish this was a disc release, getting tired of having to download full length games.

 

[SageRuffin]

Oh the irony.

You misunderstand. I'm not blasting PC gamers at all. Like I said to another, I'm just tired of it being implied that I'm an idiot because I much prefer to play games on my 360 than on the PC (especially since I hate playing anything with a keyboard), usually from PC elitists of which I'll assume you are not one of them.

Though I admit, I probably could've worded my comment better. All I'm saying is that since Crysis already came out on PC several yonks ago, PC elitists have no grounds about tripping how their game was "dumbed down for console retards" because they already have their version and have had it for quite a while.

But now we have to go all the way back to 2005 to find a big budget PC exclusive FPS. Me sad!! :'(

I was not blasting you. I just find it funny that suddenly it's the other way around with the mudslinging (See above post, that is, not you but the guy that ordered us to force our expensive comps up our cranes)

 

[Fenra]

Even though I played both on PC I'm certainly not against multi-format releases and if it gets more people playing the original I'm all for it, remains one of my favorite games to this day and now everyone has a chance to play it, altered graphics don't really bother me so long as the gameplay remains the same.

Are you saying you're bothered by this, then? Because the all new controls part of it is pretty clear.

Huh, mind must have blanked that bit, even now knowing that, I'm not bothered by it going multiformat

 

[Sizzle Montyjing]

And out come the PC purist nazi master-race overlord ancient gods....
Seriously, get over that one piece of machinery that doesn't love you in the same way that a human can.

Anyway this looks good, and i'll be getting it.
Yes that's right, i said it looked good.

 

[Shirokurou]

And I am totally unexcited...
Seriously, an FPS has to really try to get me interested nowadays... and Crysis doesn't do it for me...

 

[ResonanceGames]

I see lots of people have bought into the silly hype that Crysis is just a generic FPS with shiny graphics. Wrong.

Crysis is one of the smartest, most freefrom shooters ever made. In some ways it reminds me of Deus Ex -- not in terms of gameplay, but because it let's you approach situations any way you want to, and gives you the tools to play in whatever style suits you. Until the shitty, linear 3rd act, Crysis is one of the best FPSes ever made. Console players who can wrap their heads around the amount of freedom in the game are in for a treat.

Oh, and to the guy who was asking above, they DID change the nanosuit to be more similar to the one in Crysis 2. I think that's fine, it's a more console-appropriate design choice and it won't really affect the gameplay that much. Wouldn't want it on PC though.

 

[braincore02]

Ah, that sounds good then.

I just very rarely hear anyone singing the game's praises beyond graphics.

Aside from the other positive points people mentioned, I really enjoyed how destructible the environments were. My best memory was a huge firefight in a small military base, and I'm holed up in a small one story, 2 room building using it for cover, getting blasted from every direction. The fight felt like it lasted for five minutes of nonstop assault, and I managed to hang on to my life, but by the end of it, the building I was using for cover had collapsed around me, and I don't even think any grenades were thrown, just lots of heavy duty ammunition from mounted guns and such. That was awesome. I kinda wanna reinstall it now.

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

And the PC master race is offended again. Meh, I've yet to play Crysis.

Where are all these magical enraged PC gamers that you and the 4-odd similar comments are talking about? Certainly not in this thread.

If a hypothetical person were mad that a game they liked was ported to a console they don't like over 4 years after its initial release then yes, they would be an idiot.

 

[TheComfyChair]

Crysis: medium graphics edition, coming soon!

Seriously, this is a good thing, if this game sells well on consoles, we'll see a real crysis 3.

But, console fanboys, seriously don't think these graphics are even close to the majesty of very high at 1920x1080. They're a long way off. It looks like the game i played back on my laptop in 2008 (medium, 1366x768), which is an awesome game nonetheless.

P.S. PC gamers wont be enraged because they've got the awesome version of the game The console versions looks like it's running on a 2005 PC because it is! It's hardly enviable Plus, Crysis was 4 years ago.

The redesigned nanosuit looks like a good idea, the first one is not streamlined at all.

It didn't really need to be.

 

[JeanLuc761]

The redesigned nanosuit looks like a good idea, the first one is not streamlined at all.

The streamlined nanosuit in Crysis 2 is arguably the second worst change they made from the original, second only to the removal of ultra-massive environments that you can explore.

The nanosuit in Crysis 1 (PC) was simple, effective, and allowed for a huge range of gameplay abilities. Crysis 2 is similar, but by streamlining it so much (where is my fucking strength mode and speed mode?) a lot of the magic was lost.
