Suit up and Survive as the PC Hit Explodes onto PlayStation Network
and Xbox LIVE
REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ:ERTS) and award-winning developer Crytek
GmbH, announced today that the critically-acclaimed, single-player
campaign from the PC hit Crysis® is now available for purchase on
PlayStation®Network and Xbox LIVE® Games on Demand for $19.99 or 1600
Microsoft Points. Gamers can now play with improved Nanosuit gamepad
controls and fine-tuned combat as they take full advantage of CryENGINE
3®'s visual optimizations in this thrilling downloadable version of Crysis
for consoles, which also has full stereoscopic 3D support.
"We're really excited to bring the legendary Crysis to gamers who
weren't able to experience it the first time around," said Cevat Yerli,
Chief Executive Officer of Crytek. "The CryENGINE 3 has allowed us to
remaster the single-player campaign and make significant advancements to
the gameplay. We've added a new lighting system, some advanced rendering
techniques and most importantly, we've optimized the Nanosuit controls
to utilize its full potential on a gamepad. We really hope that gamers
will enjoy playing the game as much as we've enjoyed developing it."
In 2007, critics around the world hailed Crysis as the PC game
that ushered in the next-generation of gaming with jaw-dropping visuals,
industry leading technology and groundbreaking sandbox gameplay,
featuring the super-powerful Nanosuit. Today, gamers will have the
chance to utilize the Nanosuit as they fast forward to 2019 where a team
of US scientists make a frightening discovery on an island in the South
China Sea. All contact with the team is lost when the North Korean
Government quickly seals off the area. The United States responds by
dispatching an elite team of Delta Force Operators to recon the
situation. As tension rises between the two nations, a massive alien
ship reveals itself in the middle of the island. Now with hope rapidly
fading, the US and North Koreans must join forces to battle the alien
menace, fighting epic battles through stunning, photorealistic tropical
jungles and frozen landscapes.
