Crysis Is “Not” An Xbox Live Arcade Title

RipTen - Late last week, we reported that the single player portion of the original Crysis would make its way onto consoles sometime next month. However, it seems media outlets were confused by EA’s press release for some unknown reason and reported that Crysis would hit Xbox Live Arcade.

Not sure why some sites assumed it was an XBLA title. The press release didn't even mention it. Oh well.

CrzyFooL4608d ago (Edited 4608d ago )

IGN said it was coming to XBLA and everyone else just sorta assumed they were right. As if Crysis could ever be under 2gb. SSDD.

call it what you want but does it really matter? Either way it's still coming. This article making it seem like some kind of catastrophe over gamerscore limits differences.

SilentNegotiator4608d ago

*Re-reads article*
......ummm, no it doesn't. It just explains that it's a Games of Demand game and that it's not an XBLA game because Crysis is outside the limits set for XBLA games.

I'm disappointed that Crysis won't be available on disc. I was hoping that RE4 HD would be on disc, too. Oh well.

mugoldeneagle034608d ago

Stated that it was coming to "PSN & XBL". If people are wondering where all of this confusion came from.

Ayepecks4608d ago

EA's official site right now: http://www.ea.com/
"CRYSIS COMING TO XBLA AND PSN IN OCTOBER"

SilentNegotiator4608d ago (Edited 4608d ago )

Interesting. I guess they screwed up, or else they just think "XBLA" is more recognized than "Games on Demand" in regards to marketing....and it probably is.

correcting bad reporting for the win

VictoriousB134608d ago

Don't you need a credit card to download something from Games On Demand? Or will you be able to use standard points?

STK0264608d ago

You can use standard MS points for Games on demand, I think you need to press "Y" or "X" to convert the price from dollars to MS points.

B1663r4608d ago

If you don't have a credit card all you have to do is start calling credit card companies until someone gives you one.

If you can't get a credit card that way, then all you have to do is go to a bank, and ask for a debit card, which works exactly like a credit card but there is a balance behind it.

If you still can't get a credit card after that, you can go to the supermarket, drug store, or any convenience store and buy a credit card. Failing that...

RyuDrinksTheDew4608d ago

doesnt that mean i wont get to use MSP to purchase it?

i dont put my credit information on my accounts anymore, so this kinda sucks.

TheMyst4608d ago

NEVER give MS any credit card information, never! They will charge for XBL even if auto renewal is off, it's just a hassle. I had to call, wait for god knows how long to turn off auto renewal. They did it, a month goes by and somehow MS charges for a month of XBL. I get charged 10 bucks plus 35 cause I didn't have money on the card, WTF! Somehow, auto renewal just magically turned back on. So NEVER ever put any credit cards on XBL never, MS is absolutely greedy and it's a hassle to get them deleted

/end rant.

KMCROC4608d ago (Edited 4608d ago )

The 35.00 sounds like your bank nailed you w/ an overdraft fee. THOSE SUCK.

TheMyst4608d ago

Yep, indeed they do suck. Had I now MS would for whatever reason turn auto renewal back on I would have had money there. I really don't get why they turn it back on even after I called.

RyuDrinksTheDew4608d ago

exactly what i was saying, why didnt i get disagrees? haha

it sucks that i might not get to used microsoft points.

Kurt Russell4607d ago (Edited 4607d ago )

I gave you an agree to cheer you up :)

No one cares. The whole can it run Crysis is old, dead and stupid. It's also irrelevant, considering only less than one percent of pc owners, own a high-end PC. Second, I believe Crysis wasn't even optimized properly.

TheColbertinator381d ago

Crysis blew my mind back then and still kinda does.

bunt-custardly381d ago

Let's hope the modders can get the other Crysis games working in VR as they use the same Cryengine.

Bioshock still looks fantastic, one of my all time favorites.

Yui_Suzumiya453d ago

Beyond: Two Souls on PS3 can compete with modern day graphics.

SonyStyled453d ago (Edited 453d ago )

Same as Killzone 2 and 3, uncharted 2 and 3, Infamous 2, Heavy Rain, Resistance 3

jasonismoney453d ago

I wish this was entirely true, but you might want to load up Killzone 2 and Resistance 3 again.

SonyStyled453d ago

@jason I watched some gameplay videos of KZ2 and R3 on my full screen. They are on par or succeed graphically to the first person shooters mentioned in the article that also launched on the seventh generation of consoles. Try the same and see what you think

cthulhucultist452d ago

Killzone 3 was super impressive! I could not believe the graphics back then as I was regularly pausing the game to stand in awe looking at the surroundings! Resistance however did not impress me that much. Heavy rain is also another amazing graphically speaking game. It almost felt next gen

Fist4achin453d ago

I always thought the first 3 Gears of War games looked great and still hold up for today.

SonyStyled453d ago

They did for their day. I recently played gears judgement with on the 360 and the draw distance was so blurry. The characters up close look great though

JEECE453d ago

Far Cry 2 was awesome. In addition to having demonstrably better physics and AI than later games in the series, it had a lot of design decisions that, criticized at the time, have since been praised in games like BOTW and Dark Souls.

iNcRiMiNaTi453d ago

It might not be super amazing by today's standard but I thought Mgs3 looked really good

JEECE453d ago

In terms of art style it still holds up.

Can It Run Crysis? The Only Steam Deck Question That Matters

Digital Foundry: "When Alex Battaglia got his hands on a Steam Deck, this was inevitable, right? So can the Steam Deck really run Crysis? And if so, what type of optimised settings produce the best performance? What's the best balance of features and battery life... and what about 60fps?"
