Crysis Warhead Available for PC Starting September 18, 2008

malware · Sep 16, 2008

There's one more good news that will make gamers happier. Electronic Arts and Crytek GmbH announced today that Crysis Warhead, the next installment in the award-winning Crysis franchise, has shipped to retailers in North America and Europe and will hit store shelves and participating digital download services starting September 18, 2008 exclusively for the PC. Crysis Warhead takes place alongside the events of last year's original Crysis, with players taking control of Sergeant "Psycho" Sykes. Crysis Warhead won't require the first Crysis to be installed, it's a standalone game. Electronic Arts will charge $29.99 for it. "The launch of Crysis Warhead marks a significant milestone for the entire Crytek family," said Cevat Yerli, CEO and President of Crytek. "The team at Crytek Hungary has delivered a dynamic and intense single player experience more than worthy of the Crysis franchise, while the multiplayer team in Frankfurt has revisited and extended multiplayer in the Crysis universe with Crysis Wars. They are both great representations of our studio's core values of technical excellence, craftsmanship and quality."

Thats fine for me, plenty time to get a system that can run it!

Octavean · Sep 16, 2008

What type of DRM is this game going to use?

crow1001 · Sep 16, 2008

Got to give it to EA, they know how to milk a franchise big time, this is just a mod of the original, this time more vehicle orientated, it could have been released as a mod pack. :laugh:

CDdude55 · Sep 16, 2008

I don't have any cash so i cant get it even if i wanted. Hopefully it runs well, so when i get some cash later on it will run on my system.

TRIPTEX_CAN · Sep 16, 2008

I cant decide if I should just get a retail copy or download it from D2D. Either way I'll be playing it tomorrow :rockout:

PVTCaboose1337 · Sep 16, 2008

I'm not too excited... I have it pre-ordered and all... it will come tomoro hopefully, but I will wait till the weekend to play it.

Nah, it is EXACTLY what the original should have been. A beautiful, OPTIMIZED, $29.99 first person shooter that makes you love PC gaming.

I feel the exactly same way. This game is gonna rock.

timta2 · Sep 17, 2008

Supposedly it uses the same DRM that Spore uses which allows you to install 3 times. People are very unhappy about it as I am sure many of you will be. A lot of us change our systems often and it will suck to have to call in all of the time and possibly lose our purchase if EA lets us down.

Jeno · Sep 17, 2008

sw33t! this is gonna be great

i wonder how much more it is gonna cost down here in au :shadedshu

CDdude55 · Sep 17, 2008

I am mostly waiting for F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin.

I finished the first one and this one is looking good.

a bit of hyperbole maybe.
I think it will be a good game. Not great, but will be fun. I enjoyed the first one, so i will certainly enjoy this one.

R_1 · Sep 17, 2008

Will it use more then 512 local video RAM on 1920*1200 and Vista x64?

Apsolutely i have no idea have we can have a 20 buck markup for exactly the same game even though ive said that with every game released here *sigh*.

Your tempting me erocker,i have only just added stalker clear sky to my steam collection(oh its a big one) i will have no nuts left if i do and my missus finds out :nutkick:

Megasty · Sep 17, 2008

Great news. I'll have clear sky finished just in time for this. But I haven't played Crysis in nearly 2 months so I think I will brush up my skills with it b4 I tackle warhead.

maudio3 · Sep 17, 2008

I am waiting for this !!

So, any confirmation on the DRM scheme being used. $30 is actually very reasonable, so if it doesn't have some ridiculous DRM scheme ala spore, I'm gonna pick this up.
