This press release is from Electronic Arts US's website.

Electronic Arts (NASDAQ: ERTS) and award-winning developer,
Crytek GmbH, announced today that the critically-acclaimed
Crysis® franchise will debut a new experience on Xbox LIVE® and
PlayStation® Network. In October 2011, shooter fans will be able
to download a modified and enhanced version of the award-winning
single-player campaign from the original Crysis, remastered for
console players using Crytek’s state-of-the-art CryENGINE®3 with
all new lighting, effects and other visual optimizations. For
just $19.99 SRP or 1600 Microsoft Points, gamers will download
the most robust and exciting Xbox LIVE® and PlayStation® Network
game to date.
In 2007 and again in 2011, critics around the world hailed
Crysis and Crysis 2 as titles that ushered in the
next-generation of gaming with jaw-dropping visuals, industry
leading technology and groundbreaking sandbox gameplay,
featuring the super-powerful Nanosuit. Today, the original,
award-winning 2007 single-player campaign has been remastered
for Xbox LIVE® and PlayStation® Network with optimized Nanosuit
controls, fine-tuned combat and full stereoscopic 3D support.
“We are extremely proud of what we were able to accomplish with
Crysis. We set out to create a next-generation FPS and delivered
a PC experience that became a benchmark for quality – and still
is for many gamers even four years later,” said Cevat Yerli, CEO
of Crytek. “By bringing the single-player campaign to console,
we believe we are again setting a new standard for quality in
downloadable gaming.”
In Crysis, gamers will travel to 2019 where a team of US
scientists makes a frightening discovery on an island in the
South China Sea. All contact with the team is lost when the
North Korean Government quickly seals off the area. The United
States responds by dispatching an elite team of Delta Force
Operators to recon the situation. As tension rises between the
two nations, a massive alien ship reveals itself in the middle
of the island. Now with hope rapidly fading, the US and North
Koreans must join forces to battle the alien menace, fighting
epic battles through stunning, photorealistic tropical jungles
and frozen landscapes.

Around £12??
Never played it so would be nice to pick it up if it's close to
the price I've mentioned above.

I'm loving that more and more devs are getting into doing this
now. I've already got God of War 1 & 2, The PoP trilogy, The
Splinter Cells, Beyond Good and Evil and Medal of Honour:
Frontline. And can't wait to play the re-mastered Resident Evil
4 and Codename Veronica when they're released.
Not so interested in the Tomb Raiders as they chose the wrong
titles. Wouldn't mind seeing Angel of Darkness brought up to
date.
It seems odd considering how much I rail against the lack of
imagination in games these days that I should be in favour of
this new move but the more the merrier for me. At least they're
not trying to pass off something old as new and fresh.
Might be a good idea for a thread on it's own. Considering how
many games are currently being given the HD make-over, which
last-gen titles would you like to see re-released? For me the
answer is without doubt, PSI-OPS: THE MINDGATE CONSPIRACY and
THE SUFFERING 1 & 2

Psi-Ops is a great choice.
Also I would love to see Jet force Gemini, Timesplitters and
XIII get a HD makeover, oh maybe Kingdom Hearts as well.
And Tony Hawk's pro skater 1 & 2 :)

This is indeed excellent news and I cant wait. The first game is
far better than the second although im a little worried that
they may "dumb it down" a little for consoles.
