Crytek launches info on Warhead

Can't wait. Even though I want to continue the plot, I'm just happy to see more action in that setting.

well take in mind it's not "crysis 2" it's crysis warhead so it doesn't have to continue the plot...anyway i'm excited!!!

im glad

seems like crytek is doing to crysis what ubi did with far cry

Thats stupid, I wan't to know what happens next, not what happens somewhere else at the time...:(

omg.....crysis warhead,,....wow....amazing...

quinnd6 fails at life.

Taking the Blue Shift approach, eh? Well, sounds interesting enough, let's just see if the Budapest studio has the talent to pull it off.

why not on consoles ?

This could be good, but frankly I'd much rather they finish the story with Nomad. But I guess all in good time.

I want prophet. There was so much things that were never explained about him. Like how he escaped and got that gun

quinnd6 Are you stupid witch part you don't understand on my comment but nevermind that I will paste you what crytek said. Shipping exclusively for the PC this fall, Crysis Warhead is the first title to be developed at Crytek´s Budapest studio, and is built on a new, enhanced and optimized version of Crytek’s CryENGINE® 2 technology. You only have to focus on these words "optimized version of Crytek’s CryENGINE® 2 "

quinnd6@ Pc hardly get's any fps exclusives, so, more console user bs....

This just made my day, I figured it was a console port remake.. Awesome!!

oh.. i want to play original crysis on my console...

Nice.

lendrahcir Well for now be happy with this and then I hope that they won't abandon crysis just because they couldn't port it to consoles (and I mean the real crysis 2). But I will get this game when it comes because I didn't got the original crysis (I had one low end pc then). But I am worried about one thing and that the game would simply be not so god as the first one, just because the new IP is working one this one.

Psycho was a cool character, very gruff face.

Prophet would have been more intresting probably,

Gotta get this.

Not sure why its necessary to play as Psycho, maybe to find out whats cause him to spoke out abort the carrier and left on a one-man mission to rid the aliens. Come ON!!! Give us a REAL sequel!!!

Awesome! I think this is a really cool idea. Psycho disappears quite often, and I always wondered what he was doing. It should be interesting to see what happened with him. I wonder how far into the story they will allow you to play as Psycho? If it takes it all the way to the carrier, it'll certainly put a whole new perspective on things.

svitas: yeah i thought as much. Still I'm not sure what I would prefer, the actual sequel or this. It's great to see the entire picture now, but still... the sequel would be nice as well. Either way I'm getting this. :D

I'll have to see if my PC can play the demo of this game..although I'll need to reduce the game to a bare minimum state. What is weird is I thought this game was coming out for the Xbox, but I guess they just decided against it. Pity.

another one? anyway they don't need to rebuild the CryEngine 2 because it's too much!! maybe an upgrade will be more effective

lendrahcir No this is not considered like crysis 2 think like this, like an expansion pack with the new story in singleplayer and more maps for multiplayer. And yes it is based on crysis but with another person Psycho so we will finally know how he build that gun and other things. Ow and it will run better and look better but in my opinion it will be just some better texture and nothing ells new in graphical sens. skullbird11 No this will run even better that crysis original did.

WillI need to Upgrade my PC again?

3, 000, 000 copies. ow.. i didn't know this. Guys.. Is that 3 Million copies of Crysis ? on 1 platform.. I think that's pretty much enough. atleast for a game which is not even playable on most mid-range PCs. so the sales number very nice. Why Crytek has been blaming Piracy then ? Im a big fan of them.. but this shocks the hell out of me :o I thought Crysis didn't even sell 1 million lol.

Oh yeah! Well this is a definite buy for me! Though is this gonna be considered Crysis2 does any one know? I seriously doubt it myself since it's based on what happened during the first one?

"As the nickname might suggest, he is described as "more brash and aggressive" than his Delta Force squadmate Nomad." Dear lord, this has got to be the worst trend in recent years. Developers think they're being cool by making these brash characters, like in Kane & Lynch, Army of Two and Bad Company, but the results are often just embarrassing.

PC exclusive w00t!!! I'm selfish :P

lol

Crytek: Pc gaming suck, piracy, not enought sale, we would sale 6x more on console. wah wah wah --Ea announce 3 million copies sold. Crytek: WE love you pc gamer, here a new game! hypocrisy ftl

Well i would have hoped it would be a continuation to crysis i.e. going back to the island but this still looks pretty cool

yes!

Cool! I hope the Cryengine 2 isn't improved too much, or my PC is f*cked!

I'll play.

I don't get it, what was the fuss about Crytek and piracy? The original Crysis sold out over 3,000,000 copies, in comparision, CoD4 sold out 10,000,000 over all 3 platforms. It's not that bad. Guess Crytek realised how stupid all that talk was, and will continue to release Crysis games exclusively to the PCs.

Im looking forward to this...but...the upgrades will cost me a fortune...well...not really but still. Crysis was a big succes, i still play it and i always find different ways to deal with things...i hope that crysis warhead offers the same pleasure of open-world sci-fi shooter action!

technowiz999@ "“We were very pleased with the reception of Crysis from both gamers and media after our launch last year,” said Cevat Yerli, CEO and President of Crytek. “That being said, one of the key principles of our studio is to always raise the bar. With Warhead, we are focusing on refining our storytelling and game performance, while also delivering more of the visually stunning graphics and immersive, free-roaming gameplay everyone loved in Crysis.” They are working on the story. Oddly, instead of actully posting this direct article with clear info, gamespots has posted a much vaguer version, odd that...

YES! Keep it coming crytek! I was worried that they would (like many other devolpers) abandon the PC or give us crappy ports. I can't wait....

Game runs fine for me and looks magnificent. Running all settings om high with a lower resolution, my machine is mid-end, not high end.

too bad, I wanted another tech pusher and a more original story. But it will still be a badass game that looks great!

The cryengine 2 kills my pc :( and my PC can play everything from gears to bioshock and mass effect with no problem at all XD

Excellent. Looking forward to it. It's good to see they have taken note of the story, hopefully they will expand on it and make it all the better.

Cool..;)
