When Crysis was originally released back in November 2007, the PCs capable of running it perfectly had not been invented yet. Even so, journalists and gamers alike were blown away by its realistic visuals, which can easily be understood when you see the game today. Indeed, even 7 years later, Crytek's title in its vanilla state (meaning its original version without mods) is still impressive, and it's a lot smoother too (though framerate isn't capable of holiding a steady 60 fps yet when fully maxed out). Check out our two videos inside, the first ever 1080p/60fps Crysis footage on Gamersyde.

As you all know, Crytek decided to finally release Crysis on consoles and the game is now available to all 360 and PS3 owners for $19.99/€19.99. A friend of mine did not resist the temptation and bought the 360 version, so I asked him to come over so I could capture the first 20 minutes of the game. Beware though, the first video is rather small (because it takes place at night) but you'll need extra bandwidth for the second one for sure. As a bonus, I also captured a few extracts from the good old PC version so you can have a 1080p video in 30 fps. If you compare all versions, you will have to admit that, even though the PC version is the best, Crytek did a very good job with the console port.

EA and Crytek announce that Crysis is now available to download on Xbox 360 and PS3. Launch trailer inside.

Finally, we've got the trailer of Crysis for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Check it out below.

As you know the original Crysis has been re-mastered for the Xbox 360 and PS3 and will be available to download in October. Meanwhile, here are five screenshots of the console version of Crytek's FPS.
