1600 Microsoft Points on Xbox 360 and £15.99 on PlayStation 3.

Crytek and EA, by the way of a Gametrailers exclusive, have announced the original Crysis for the Xbox 360 and PS3. The console versions will also arrive much sooner than you might expect, with the publisher having slapped an October release date on the pair.

According to the debut trailer for the game, the remastered console edition will include all new lighting, all new effects and all new Nanosuit controls.

Back in 2007 the PC version blew us away with its action-packed gameplay and gorgeous visuals, earning a 9/10 in our Crysis review.

Update: EA has confirmed that the game will cost 1600 Microsoft Points on Xbox 360 and £15.99 on PlayStation 3. It's a port of the single-player portion of Crysis and also includes full stereoscopic 3D.

While it's strictly a four-year-old game, it could still go toe to toe with many new releases. Does £15.99 seem reasonable?

So what is the point of porting over a 4 year old game? I doubt they'll make tons of sales but oh whatever guys have fun playing a four year old game they'll look not as good on your system ^_^

Crysis is one of those games that I keep going back to and try to make progress with, but it just doesn't happen. Then, before I know it, I've reformatted my PC and couldn't be bothered to back up the save files. I wish Steam Cloud just worked for everything.

I wasn't considering this but for the price it could be worth a purchase :)

Wow, that's quite a surprise!
I missed out on the original Crysis, so this is great.
I'm not sure I'd pay full-price for it, but if it turns out to be a half-decent port, I'll definitely pick it up at some point :)
