Oldmike, a user on the
PlayStation 3 official forum, has posted a couple of photographs which, he believes, indicates that a PS3 version of
Crysis is on its way. There's a fun wee story that goes along with the photos, too. Whilst in a local Gamestop oldmike spotted a PS3 box with some
Crysis promo art on it. When he asked about it the manager overheard and, after getting flustered, yelled at the shop assistant that they shouldn't be on the shop floor yet. Alledgedly.
An intriguing story, with interesting photos attached. We're still not convinced, however. Shops do crazy stuff all the time (HMV, anyone?). We love the idea that
Crysis might be coming in the future, but until official word comes from Crytek then we're going to remain skeptical.

Well maybe announcement at Leipzig? Anyway, it would be cool if it is true but dont those covers usually have the "coming soon" on the top corner? or is it the bottom?

Looks like someone cut out a Crysis cover and put it in a Blu-ray case...
I'm not buying it... yet...

Haha yeah this is a pretty horrible attempt and a pretty horrible story to boot.
I'd love for Crysis to be on PS3 as much as the next guy, but somehow I know more than 100% that it's not going to happen. Then again my >100% predictions have been wrong =P.
At least my MGS4 exclusivity one was right lol.

Wow, this must be true. Only someone with a color printer and a ps3 game could've come up with this story!

of course it's just some random cover (not official), ebgames/gamestop do it all the time but the interesting part is that they done one for the PS3.

I like how they don't even try to include "PLAYSTATION 3" along the side or put the ESRB rating.
If this person made fake money...they would be caught very quickly.

TheSh0wstopper, it is common practice for a games shop to put up their own made cases promoting a game that is up for preorder.
However, it would take an impossible amount of stupidity to believe this story as a confirmation of Crysis on PS3. So even though you made yourself sound like a pompous arse by attacking the reporter, you're correct that it is blatantly fake.
Like anything else, I'm going to take this as a ball of fluff until it's officially confirmed.

Of course! Gamestop owner tells Mike that he shouldn't have seen those boxes, then lets Mike take pictures of said boxes! Crysis for PS3 confirmed!

When was the last time any retail employee knew more about a release than bloggers. Not likely says I.

Yeah... keep on hoping. Even if it does come to the ps3, it's going to be chopped down from what we've seen quite a bit graphically.

@ NascarNut_8
That's pretty impressive! Reminds me of when I made my own PS2 game cover for a school project back in the day...
Definitely put the other guy to shame with that.
