What once was achievable only on the most high end PCs is coming to lowly consoles on October 4. Crytek's Crysis has been given a firm release date, available to download for the humble sum of $20.
This new iteration will be "modified and enhanced" from the original computer version, which I can only hope means that they've removed all helicopters from the game entirely, because screw every single helicopter that was in that game. Helicopters are douchebags.
So weird to think that Crysis will be out next week on home consoles. Technology's evolution is terrifying.

Coolio.
Sad that Twisted Metal got delayed but hell I'll get this and Rage. XD
Since it doesn't I'll wait for a PSN sale.
How come that makes it weird?
also as tigervomit stated, Dark Souls day bitches.
Can't keep up with all these exciting new trends of stuff we're suddenly suppose to take shits on.
*rolls eyes*
o.O
Whoa there cowboy. Where are you getting that we're supposed to hate consoles from this article? There some kind of hidden subtext here that I'm missing? Do I need my Little Orphan Annie decoder ring?
Seriously though, Crysis is terribly overrated.
http://www.destructoid.com/final-fantasy-vii-is-not-overrated-205170.phtml <- required reading for all Dtoid commenters. Here's an excerpt.
"To say something is overrated is to say that it does not deserve its critical success and that those who remember it fondly are injecting their memories with a little too much fondness. Oftentimes, I find the term "overrated" an arrogant one, as you're implying somebody else should tone down their appreciation of something because you don't care for it. Much of the time, I think the term betrays intellectual cowardice, as some people just want to say that they dislike a game but use "overrated" to dress it up and artificially make their personal opinion look like part of an objective, factual statement."
Also, what tigervomit said x1,000. :)
My bad, I wasnt really trying to start an argument or offend anyone.
My personal opinion is that Crysis is rather boring, it was really hyped when it came out and all I found was a pretty game were you do nothing most of the time, then get into a really cool looking alien ship level, and then spend the rest of the game fighting incredibly overpowered flying enemies.
But if it sold the way it did, I guess the general concensus is that it must be good.
Yup I said it ;P
Games, dude, I fill my hard drive with games!!!
Well downloadable Arcade games and Games on Demand titles. Also about 15gigs of Rock Band songs.
I download a lot, I need more space....and money.
That's older than my nephew. In terms of time, it could actually be considered a last gen pc title.
I will be playing Shogun 2: Rise Of The Samurai on my pc, a title that cannot be made possible on consoles. A proper game, for the thinking gamer. The pc gamer. Console gaming is for simple folk.
(my bd is Oct 4)
