Crytek trademarks 'Crysis Warhead'

The good folks over at Trademork have noticed a March 3 USPTO posting by Crytek for "Crysis Warhead," which could either refer to a sequel to the best-selling PC game, one of those rumored console ports or a scary new experimental explosive (or possibly a long-overdue remake of an Amiga classic. Or a strange new candy. Or ...)The recent filing isn't Crytek's first hint at extension of the brand -- the company has also filed for trademark protection of "Crysis Wars" and "World in Crysis." Whatever the inevitable sequel/spin-off/port/expansion ends up being called, we just hope they cap the system requirements now. That way, we may actually have a computer that can actually run the game in its most beautiful detail when it eventually comes out.

They are all probably just prospective marks for sequels/expansions/ports.

Better be an expansion or sequel, cliffhanger endings are the most horrible, despicable, disgusting thing to ever consider doing. Finish the damned story.

Plus the last few levels of Crysis were terrible anyway.
But they found a way to make the end worse.

'Crysis Wars' and 'World in Crysis'?
Sounds like two RTS games I know.
I recently played Crysis on Very High detail on my cousin's computer. Needless to say, the graphics were jawdroppingly gorgeous. And the performance wasn't as bad as everybody said. With his 8800GT, Crysis
ran at framerates comparable to most console games.

Joystiq, you suck. Honestly.
The making fun of Crysis' system requirements got old when the game came out and realized that at medium, it ran and looked better than any other PC game on the market.
Ihavepants @ Mar 11th 2008 8:20PM
Plus the game runs just fine with an 8800.

@Ihavepants
heh... well, that depends on what resolution and what detail. I had it one very high with an 8800 GT and it played pretty good most of the way at 16x10, but it became a near slideshow in the final battle.
Ihavepants @ Mar 12th 2008 3:55AM
Yeh my 8600 ran fine all the way through with most settings on high.
Bits that killed it though were the snow and the first alien machine on the ship.

I really love shooting trees and then shooting the some more and making teny tiny pieces just because I can..............Oh and I love throwing turtles(Not the ninja variety).

rowdyone @ Mar 11th 2008 11:46PM
Hells yeah! Used to love em when I was a kid.

Why the hell do all these console fan boy websites still hang on the Crysis requirements, my 3 year old pc played it on low, but 3 years old! My new rig that cost a total of a huge and oh my god $600 NO NOT 6000, can play it on medium and some settings on high. i just laugh when consoles fans try to make fun of pc games. But it pisses me off cause the expense issue is the biggest reason people dont get into pc games. The very pc they write these comments on can play alot of new games, just by adding a $150 gfx card. You dont need those absolutely retarted $8000 computers. Do you drive a $200,000 car?

its actually a video card they are making...
the secret details are this...
it will be the only video card capable of running crysis on...... medium!
you heard it here first folks.

Hey Kyle, instead of linking to the dumb ass story about Crysis's sytem reqs, why don't you link to a post about how Crytek proved you could run Crysis on an $800 dollar machine? It's doesn't take much to run the goddman game, jc.
WTF is wrong with Joystiq??
Kyle Orland @ Mar 12th 2008 10:13AM
Guys, you all need to chill out re: the system requirements joke. It was just a throwaway line about the _fact_ that Crysis is near the high end of processor and graphic-card intensive games. It was an issue in many many reviews of the game, and just because _you_ can run it just fine with your $150 graphics card doesn't mean everyone else can or wants to.
Chill out.

"Watch man, I'm about to put 5 Lemon Warheads in my mouth at once!"
"NO WAY!!!111"
Nevermind growing up in the 90's. Seems like an odd name for a console port.
mezzanine @ Mar 11th 2008 10:25PM
I miss the 90s : (
Marty @ Mar 11th 2008 10:40PM
Well shucks... Now what am I going to call my doomsday device?
JMD @ Mar 12th 2008 12:28AM
"So sour you'll have to update your video card. Try new CRYSIS brand Warhead candies today!"
Phillip @ Mar 12th 2008 12:56AM
Wow. Warheads and Amiga in one post. Happiness in a can indeed.
Au @ Mar 12th 2008 1:40AM
That candy made my tongue hurt once.
Kevin @ Mar 12th 2008 7:51AM
I can't play Crysis on the highest quality because they disabled the very high setting in Windows XP. Crysis is such a poser front for M$.
Ihavepants @ Mar 12th 2008 9:18AM
DX 10 is the only reason to use Vista, and it aint a good reason.
thewalrusking @ Mar 12th 2008 7:25PM
did u know u can hack Crysis to run dx10 like effects I do and on XP
Kevin @ Mar 13th 2008 8:00AM
Yeah, but I think that it is rotten that they would nerf a game in an attempt to force an upgrade to Windows Mexican. uh..... I mean Vista.
refinedsugar @ Mar 12th 2008 5:54PM
Wow, there's a blast from candy past.
