Crysis 1 coming to consoles

I think Crysis is just a poor story altogether, the first game left me cold, they are Tech Demos.

Tempted to get this. Worth it?

Oh yeah. If you've played Crysis 2, this first game is easier to compare to... say... the original Far Cry.

Haven't played Crysis 2.

Graphically speaking and in terms of performance, how does this hold up?

[MoBiUGeArSkIn]

Very well. It's been rebuilt with Cryengine 3, same one that powered the sequel, but it's running far better than Crysis 2 did.

You've convinced me Mobi, downloading it at the moment

I think it's worth it, I've only played the first little bit, but the awesome Far Cry style sandbox island with super-solider powers is great fun.

Loving this, looks great and the gameplay just reminds me of the first Far Cry. Worth buying.

Cleared it. Main complaint is how short it is, and also the alien crap and story are dreadful.

They did remove a level, but that level wasn't very good, tbh. Now on with Crysis 2. Just don't expect the same kind of experience.

I take it the level removed was the flying one?

Also, is Crysis 2 not worth bothering with?

[MoBiUGeArSkIn]

Yeah, you were the pilot. Wasn't fun, tbh.

I liked Crysis 2, but the console version felt a bit messed up to me. I didn't have as big a problem with the change of pace as some people. The second still has the nano suit, but it forces you into encounters whereas you could avoid some in Crysis. Or at least approach them from more angles.

Crysis 1 is like Far Cry with cooler tech, which is cool. To me Crysis 2 felt like Call of Duty with sci-fi upgrades. As Mobi said, the engine is quite a mess and for me (and a lot of people) the story is awful.

I wouldn't recommend Crysis 2 unless you found it cheap to give it a try.

Quite enjoyed the first Crysis on 360. Graphically it was pretty stunning and I didn't see any major texture pop up like I was expecting with such a vast game.

Think i'll forget about the second game then. Bit of a shame that it isn't as good as this port of the first game.

The Crytek UK (TimeSplitters guys) team did a great job of bring Crysis 1 from Cry Engine 2 to Cry Engine 3. However the comparison is still quite amazing to how well Crysis 1 stands up.



All credit though, Crysis 360 looks fantastic and seems to be technically better than Crysis 2.
