Lemme have this with the multiplayer Untouhed. More funding for Crytek. It's an excuse for them to make Timesplitters 4.

I think a download for a title that prides itself as a graphical powerhouse would limit itself to 2 gigs of the download limit on XBox Live. Even if it was a games on demand, it would still see a full retail release.
@Epic: Who are we kidding? Crytek's never gonna let Free Radical make TS4! They just keep dangling that carrot. I swear I hope I'm wrong, but I'm super doubtful.
Croteam should have bought Free Radical, not Crytek. Imagine Serious Sam as a guest in TS4. Or TS4 running on the engine used for the current Serious Sam games. Yeah... I would have been dripping in anticipation.

the only way i would be interested if this was basically the Maximum Edition of Crysis with both expansions.
I only want the level editor so I can force my ps3 to do barrel stacking explosions while they're at it far crys bring those too ! I never can have too many ridiculous maps.
American McGee's Alice is actually considered DLC, not a downloadable title. You need the Madness Returns disc and such.
I guess this is cool. I have it on pc though so I'll pass.

amtalx, are you joking? Crysis 1 was an engaging sandbox shooter where the enemy AI makes the game challenging and fun, and scope of the missions allows you a true freeform approach to tackling them. Crysis 2 is a textbook consolified sequel, with a campaign which is literally POINT A - POINT B. Any mission choice is literally JUMP OVER THIS, RUN THROUGH HERE, or BLOW UP THESE GUYS FIRST. Doesn't help the game can literally be completed in MAXIMUM STROLL mode by walking past the enemies and not firing your weapon, with only the occassional use of the armour ability.
You know, I want this to happen. Then, when it turns out shit I can finally watch all the console fan boys who are adamant that the consoles can pull of this game with no loss of quality eat humble pie.
@ stemtot "all the console fan boys who are adamant that the consoles can pull of this game with no loss of quality"
Did anyone really say that?

This appeals to me more than Crysis 2 because of its sandbox style gameplay.
I missed out on the sequel, just because I wasn't sure about the way they sacrificed the free roaming element.

Nope, I'm not joking. Crysis, wasn't a BAD game by any measure. However, it lacked direction, the storytelling wasn't particularly robust, and the suit powers were poorly implemented. Crysis 2 did what every good sequel should do: shed the unnecessary portions of its predecessor and polish the strengths.
The narrative in Crysis 2 is much tighter, and gives a better feeling of direction and progress. The improvements to the suit powers are particularly welcome as well. Instead of the unary mode suit powers of Crysis, Crysis 2 allowed you to use multiple powers at the same time. It wasn't as clunky, and combining powers felt more natural. After all, the suit is really the only thing that makes Crysis unique. We've see open world shooters before (and done better). If the nanosuit is going to be Crysis' claim to fame, it should be as refined as possible.

I don't think anyone here has seriously claimed that Crysis on consoles would be the equal to it running on a gaming rig on maximum settings. Care to name names?

Great, that means that Crysis 3 won't come to PCs, so while those idiots at Crytek wonder why Crysis 2 has been deemed as "linear" and "less than the first game", we can all enjoy Battlefield 3 on all 4 platforms with all of it's PC trends
I'll agree that "streamlining" the game meant the suit powers felt more natural. But they also felt so overpowered as to almost make the others completely unnecessary. Instead of the gameplay of Crysis, where at the higher difficulties you needed to use the suits various powers sparingly and intelligently, Crysis 2 was either "keep using stealth and press RS to stealth kill", or "max armour and don't worry about dying".
Also, the only thing that Crysis 2 did well in a narrative sense was the sections where suit control was taken away. The contrast they provided was the most interesting way Crytek put narrative into gameplay. Crysis 2 didn't "shed" anything in the plot department - Crysis 1 was very unpretentious, the plot was "kill Koreans, aliens appear, kill aliens". Crysis 2 added in a badly written plot to string together a game consisting of set-pieces, unlike Crysis 1, where the most impressive stuff in the game came about through player interaction with the environment.

@StarPlatinum: Agreed. I loved Crysis 2, as an FPS. But as a sequel to Crysis, it sucks ass for the reasons you portreyed. And it doesn't have a lot to do with the consoles, really. It was the fact that only the first two levels felt like you could truly exploit your suit, or the fact that so much freedom (Prone, Vehicle Driving, Double Wielding, Swimming) was taken away from the game.
I've still got the PC version untouched in my house -- Isn't it a little late for this to finally come to consoles?
I used the PS3 other OS with linux to play the first crysis until the Other OS ability for the PS3's was removed. I've been unable to play the game due to lack of benchmarks on my pc since and this announcement makes me so happy. I really hope It's true. I can't wait to throw dumpsters at NPCs again ^0^

Oh god this will be horrible on a console. When my PC can still barely churn out ultra settings, there isn't high hopes for it on something that's less than a quarter of the power.
Plus, they'll probably pull some retarded reason to remove almost all of the suit complexity and have the game pretty much force you to play a certain way.
