We set out to create a next-generation FPS and delivered a PC experience that became a benchmark for quality – and still is for many gamers even four years later,” said Cevat Yerli, CEO of Crytek. “By bringing the single-player campaign to console, we believe we are again setting a new standard for quality in downloadable gaming.”

Crysis is heading to PSN in October 2011, with optimised Nanosuit controls, fine-tuned combat and support for full stereoscopic 3D, meaning that tropical jungle island in the South China Sea circa 2019 will look better than ever. And you can have all of this when Crysis launches on the PlayStation Store next month for a mere £15.99/$19.99. Get in.

Well... surprisingly that makes sense.

Well that sounds reasonable.

Crytek posted some pics from the sections of the games the PC nerds are criticizing.

Replace the third pic Narayan posted with this:

And the first with this:

Looks awesome IMO. Crysis is better than just about every other FPS that is coming out now (including Crysis 2) so this will be a good buy.

Who cares about pics? Will all the environments be destructable? Will it be 1080p (540p pics seem to say no)? Will it run at a good framerate?

It will probably be at the same framerate and res as Crysis 2 since it's the same engine.

Agreed. So we can stop talking comparisons, because it's not close.

What comparisons? Crytek was pointing out that it looks better than the trailer indicates.

Only dumb dipshits compare it to how it looks on a high end PC in 2011. I realize there are lots of dumb dipshits out there, but it's still useless.

The only thing I'll say on that end is that it looks way better on 360 than on my very-good PC did when it came out.

I guess you can define "looks way better" lots of ways, but I don't think the 360 version is going to run at the same resolution and frame rate with the same level of detail as a very good 2007 PC with an 8800GT could run it. It's not a fair comparison whether it's 2007 or 2011.

I don't care. I am sure you can find some cool dudes at HardOCP or Anandtech or whatever who do, though. Go talk to them about it.
