Crysis Sequel Announced, Still PC Only

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the go-upgrade-your-pc-now dept.

EA and Crytek have announced a sequel to Crysis , one of the highest rated games of last year. Unfortunately, it seems that still only PC users will be able to celebrate the good news. "In Crysis Warhead, players will don the Nanosuit of Sergeant Sykes, also known as 'Psycho', one of the most memorable characters from Crysis. More brash and aggressive than his Delta Force squadmate Nomad, players will experience Psycho's parallel story during the events of the original game, finding that life on the other side of the island is even more intense and explosive than they ever could have imagined. Luckily, Psycho's Nanosuit is just as capable and he's equipped with an even bigger arsenal of fully customizable weapons and new vehicles, giving players access to the tools they need to dominate any situation. Aside from this new, exciting single player campaign, Crysis Warhead will also feature new multiplayer content."

    does this one require dual, dual-gpu video cards and a dual, quad core system just to get 30fps at full settings?

      Of course not. That was just the *first* crysis.

      This one requires quad, quad-gpu video cards and a quad, 8 core system just to get 30fps at full settings.

    I would be interested in this, but I just heard about that video showing gameplay for Duke Nukem Forever, so I think I'm going to wait and get that instead.
