Limited Run Reveals Its Physical Version Of Crysis 2 Remastered For Switch

That's neat.

I need Switch footage first. Then maybe I will bite.

What about the 3rd game?? And that is messed up everyone can the first one in stores but not the second and third game physical in stores?

@SSGodLink Idk about the 2nd game but I think the 3rd game does have Switch footage

Oh GoD....what now....

@tonyp1987 you wanna try that again?

@SSGodLink digital foundry did previews for both the 2nd and 3rd game on their YouTube channels. Look like good ports so far.

@Timptation what do you mean?

Ummm...what? Why only Crysis 2??
So weird...

@pepsilover2008 I see the Crysis 2 Switch preview, but there's no video for the 3rd one?

I thought these were getting releases at retail, not LRG? Hm. I’m still waiting on two orders from them. They are painfully slow, as of late.

@Bizzyb @tonyp1987 LRG also announced a slipcase that comes with a steelbook for the first game, and holds all three titles so it seems like a 99.9% chance they’ll have Crysis 3 for sale at a later date.

Why? Didn’t Crytek say that all three Crysis games will appear physically on Switch separately at some point in the future?

Is LRG the only planned physical distributor for Crysis 2 and 3?

We can get crysis but can't get kingdom hearts 1.5 & 2.5 physical or digital

@BloodNinja I have contacted them and they emailed me back saying "At this time our shipping team has experienced a higher shipment volume and are working on getting orders pulled and shipped out as soon as possible, so I do apologize for the delays."

@tonyp1987 Ah, I have been blessed by your icon and your good news

It sure would be nice to be able to beat the first game. I’ve been hit with a crash that won’t let me advance any further.

See, I have no objection collections being released individually if it means they fit on physical media. This could have easily been 1 game and a code in the box scenario. It's nice to see publishers take pride in their products.

This is confusing me, which to be fair isnt really hard. I thought each game was being released in seperate physical form to retail stores. So weve got the 1st available to us physically but 2 and 3 are locked behind LRG. Thats me out if im reading that right. I will forfeit portable and get them on ps4. This would have been a nice trilogy to have owned physically without having to wait until im 90 to receive.

Oh great, another 25 eur shipping bullcrap. Pass.

@SSGodLink Digital Foundry covered the pre-release footage of both games (2 & 3) a month back. Game will hold on to 720p even in handheld mode, unlike Crysis 1, while 900p in docked. Dock play is available on a YT channel called Crysis.

@dojmin : Indeed LRG's shipping is absurdly overpriced, even more so considering that they aren't launching Crysis 2 and 3 together so that customers can save money on shipping.

Why do other consoles get all three games packaged in one physical retail release at standard RRP for one game, yet Switch owners have to shell out for them individually at £35ish a piece? (excluding additional fees for those who import the LRG releases)

What an utter rip off.

LRG = hard pass. Comments here surprise me. There is no reason for LRG to get this release. It’s shameful. LRG was meant to be for indie games from studios that couldn’t get their games launch physically….

Games by lucasarts/Disney… and likes of this and doom have zero need or place on a LRG release schedule.

Pure greed simples

More than likely limited run has first dibs on these and the European release will be staggered until the LRG preorder has finished so they can make their sales first. Kinda like what they did with recent Star wars games and street fighter 4 last year. Shoddy business practice but wouldn't expect anything less from them.

I'd say LRG have a timed-exclusive, like they did with the likes of Streets of Rage 4.

@SSGodLink It runs and looks pretty well based on the DF videos. They said the final build will even be better since it was an older version they got to test early. Definitely getting this one since I haven't played any of it. This looks to satisfy my Halo craving in a portable setup. Don't care much about getting physical so I'll take the savings and get the digital package instead.

What!? I was under the impression that all three games were going to get retail editions on switch, and now we find out its LRG? Thats too expensive with shipping/customs included, I think I'll just skip this series.

I'm surprised Crytek isn't releasing the physical versions themselves. Anyways, I'm on board with this if there's no other way. I mean I already have 4 pre-orders with LRG so what's another? Plus this is dirt cheap in comparison to what people will be charging down the line on eBay.

I hope this gets an actual European release by Crytek buying 2&3 through LRG with shipping/customs is to expensive.

@BloodNinja yea limited run is plagued by worker shortages just like the rest of the United States. Say thank you big government.

@Stocksy companies are going to limited run because it’s a supply and demand company. Other companies estimate and usually over supply. These companies are just trying to save having extra copies laying around in stores.

@Gwynbleidd I'm just going by patterns LRG have done before to maximize their cash flow. That's why I tend not to waste time or money on them unless I'm certain I'm not gonna get screwed over a few months down the line.

Where the gun replica keychain????

@Dirty0814 How is that a “big government” issue? In the industry I work in, people are simply not applying very often. Could be the same for LRG.

@BloodNinja yes and that is big government. People have literally sat on their buttes for a year and a half getting unemployment plus an extra 300 a week. Until just recently. Now people are quitting in groves because of the vaccine mandates and the ones coming. Add this with the mandates for masks, social distancing, shutting down etc. they have caused thousands of businesses to close and with all the surging inflation and government spending companies are halting hiring now and some even letting people go because of the uncertainty.
That is all big government and it has been plaguing us since last year. Don’t expect it to let up and like they have been saying supply shortages will only get worse. I am sure LRG is having labor issues and probably components issues as well.
Do t get me wrong I have orders from them from last year I just received last month and at least 5 or more orders this year I haven’t received yet going all the way back to January. I want my crap but I also want it make right too.

@Dirty0814 That's ridiculous. Pay more = less worker shortages. In the case of LRG, it's a small company that rarely hires to begin with.

@EVIL-C actually that’s completely wrong. Pay more =‘s higher inflation and in the end you make less. Pay is not the issue with worker shortages.’ In fact limited run pays around 47k a year for customer service reps( you can look that up through Glassdoor and indeed).That’s over 22 an hour, if the customer reps are making that then the manufacturing workers are making more as customer service pays less than manufacturing typically. They pay plenty.
Hell even where I work we put out over 50 jobs starting at 20+ an hour and they pulled them down and never filled them because of the uncertainty of the economy. We have even put new lines of products on hold that would employ over 100 people per line alone. If my company is putting a hold on things then there are big issues happening. The last and only time they ever had any slow down or layoff was in 08. Needless to say everyone there is getting pretty antcy.

Limited Run to the rescue

I know I'll be buying it. Should be getting the first one in the mail tomorrow, and also have The Falconeer coming in from LRG today!

In the case of this game:
One Step From Eden
They screwed over buyers whom bought the universal game with world language MINUS english. Of all things they could screw buyers over.

@Dirty0814 Ok, now I see what you’re talking about. While I agree that government funded the laziness, I still think the people who choose not to work need to claim some personal responsibility in the affair. Many of us returned to work as soon as possible, instead of waiting for the funding to run out, as it did in the US.

@BloodNinja totally agree with you, sadly it effects all of us when they do not and I want my games darn it lmao.

@Dirty0814 lmfao yeah, me too! And I want new employees at work, we are short staffed and working some gnarly hours as a result! Easy money for us, but it would be nice to have some more free time, eventually!

All three games would fit on a 32GB cart, and the trilogy on other platforms cost about as much as The Witcher 3 did at launch, so this is really, really contemptible, charging what will amount to nearly three times the amount for Switch owners to have all three games in physical form (and without the added convenience of having all three on a single cart). The first game alone is only $10 less than the trilogy on other platforms, mirroring EA’s stupid treatment of Mass Effect 3 on Wii U back in the day.

Why not charge AU$100/US$70 in the first place and offer the trilogy to consumers? Some games cost $10 more on newer platforms and this can easily be justified for the Switch versions as the platform offers the unique value proposition of portability and no installation requirements, but instead they pull crap like this that only disadvantages the consumer in terms of both cost and convenience.

@kalosn They rescued nothing. Crytek is a multibillion dollar corporation, not an indie studio. They released Crysis 1 through regular retail for Switch, and the trilogy for everything else. There is absolutely zero reason for Crytek & LRG to release 2 (and I assume 3) through this one time print BS. Crytek was too cheap to compile all 3 games onto a larger game card. It's disgusting.

@Gwynbleidd I did not see one for the trilogy but I did for the first game. https://www.amazon.com/Crysis-Remastered-Nintendo-Switch/dp/B097FQJM3R/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=crysis&qid=1634664649&sr=8-4

@Gwynbleidd I agree or the seller does not know the game differences between the first, the second, the third, or the trilogy.

@EVIL-C The trilogy weights 28.1 GB on Switch. I suspect Crytek thought the only way to release it phsyically would be on a 32GB cartridge with a higher cost included. So it's still possible, but with a cost... maybe you're right.

Look at the silver lining, Limited Run at least cares, even if it's limited (that's probably the ugly part), there was no need to reply to that comment anyway, I'm not digging too deep into this right now.
