Crysis Warhead Coming To Steam

Latest from Legendary Studio Coming to Leading Online Platform

September 12, 2008 – Crytek and Valve today announced an agreement to bring Crysis Warhead? and Crysis? to Steam, a leading platform for the delivery and management of PC games and digital content with over 15 million accounts around the world.

“The millions of gamers logging into Steam every week to play today’s best PC games are going to love Crysis Warhead,” said Avni Yerli, Managing Director at Crytek. “Crytek Hungary has done a terrific job creating this new experience while optimizing CryEngine 2, and we’re looking forward to delivering it and the original Crysis as our first offerings on Steam.”

“Crytek is one of the industry’s great success stories, emerging new technology and talent,” said Gabe Newell, president and co-founder of Valve. “Crysis is one of today’s leading PC franchises and delivering the original and Crysis Warhead via Steam is landmark for the platform.”

The follow up to Crysis, one of the highest rated PC games of last year, Crysis Warhead will take players through the parallel story of Sergeant Michael ‘Psycho’ Sykes as he embarks on an intense, explosive adventure on the other side of the island. With waves of more challenging human and alien enemies to navigate through, players will once again be outfitted with the revolutionary Nanosuit and an arsenal of new weapons and vehicles to help Psycho complete his critical mission. Crysis Warhead will also come with Crysis Wars?, a tailor-made experience for multiplayer gamers, featuring three diverse match types and 21 maps.

Crysis Warhead and Crysis will be available for pre-purchase via Steam this weekend, and expected to be released in mid September. Both games are published by EA Partners. For more details, please visit Welcome to Steam (http://www.steamgames.com) and Crysis Warhead (http://www.crysiswarhead.com).

I will have to buy the discs, apparently that is the only way to get the Server Version, so I'll need to drive to Columbia and manually load the server....

:pissed:

It sounds like they decided that server owners must prove their dedication.

I wonder if that limited install DRM is voided when you buy through steam? then I might consider buying it!

Don't think it was no. But Bioshock with DRM was.

Same here.

First time playing was: OMG, this is really cool! I?m so going to buy this game when it comes out.

The customisation, the fun, the freedom! The gameplay started out pretty interesting as well.

You go through the Creature stage, get your spore to walk on land (although I wanted an aquatic one, but apparently, you can?t do that), and then hit the tribal stage and learn how to co-exist or destroy other tribes.

Its all fun, interesting, great graphics.

Then you hit the Civilisation stage and 30 mins, you are like ?Uh, this is an RTS game, just simple?.

So you breeze through that and then hit the space stage. Wow? it?s a space RTS where you rinse repeat over and over again.
Find a new species, interact, do some missions for them, friend them, add one of their ships to your fleet, go back home to defend your home world, pick up some colony making stuff, make a new colony, find another species, oh, head back home to defend planet, kill this species and take over their colony, head back home and defend?.

I?m done this back and forth for a while. Destroyed 3 other species, have WAY more money than I need, allied 2 other species, have a huge empire, keep doing the same thing, and I?m only half way done the space part.

So I quit.

Ok, back to Crysis :)
