      On PC Crysis is used purely for the engine, the majority of its population is made up in mods like MWLL.

   The game being “4 years old” is almost irrelevant. The hardware on consoles is 6 years old. This almost proves that consoles could have done Crysis all along except no one could be bothered. (I say almost because there has been some progress through developers learning how to use the hardware properly.)

      Well technically no, because this uses their new Crytek engine 3, which has been specifically designed for consoles.

      Not true, the original build that was released in 2007 had no hope of running on consoles. Its taken until the release of Cryengine 3 with all of its console optimising techniques to port the game with decent appearance – even then it is still unlikely to show its full graphics.

   I bought this game for $3.74 USD from Steam, but this announcement still excites me. Even though it’s going to be 40 or 50 bucks, still very happy to hear about this.

   No doubt it was made to Xbox’s potential then ported to PS3 with no improvements, as with every game.

      As with 99% of games. Does Sony occasionally pay studios to put extra effort in for the 1% games that are PS3 enhanced? Why would studios bother if Sony doesn’t pay to either boast or sway the multisystem users?

      Funny thing with Xbox development. Microsoft reserves the right to cockblock your game if you give a competitor console more stuff or better anything.

      Some of us just can’t play fairly. ’tis sad.

    According to xbox360achievements, its going to be an XBLA/PSN title for 1600ms points or whatever that converts to in real money (20 bucks I think)

    Definitely value for money for people who’ve not played it

    I… might actually pick it up, even though I’ve already got it on PC. I imagine swapping suit powers will be easier than on a keyboard (I could never get comfortable doing that…).

       Use your mouse like everyone else? Seriously though, boring game. The engine was impressive four years ago but the campaign was nothing special and the art style sucked.

          Yeah, I wouldn’t exactly recommend this hasn’t to people, though I actually loved warhead.

          Do we know if this is an identical port?

    I’m going to be positive on this topic because at least now console players can see how much better the original Crysis was compared to it’s underwhelming Sequel

       problem is they have to make this even more underwhelming just to make it work on console..
       i-e terrible console controls (fps should be thrown away on console, seriously) without extra buttons for things like crouching/prone/nanosuit

       then ofcourse the main point of crysis was graphics, and from comparisons i’ve seen, it looks like crysis on low/med with a few newer effects, still, i could run it on my 8800gt years ago and it looked way better.

       i honastly wonder if this is a bit of a joke within crytek, they must know the game is going to play terribly on console.

    To those console fanboys calling out that the “4 years are irrelevant if the console hardware hasn’t changed”. Take a look at this comparison between the pc and console versions http://i.imgur.com/PCPLZ.jpg (source: reddit).
