Crysis 2 To Invade New York City?

"Crytek's sequel to the tropical island set first-person shooter Crysis has a new Nanosuit, new platforms on which to play it and an all new urban setting, New York City, according to the latest issue of PlayStation: The Official Magazine.

Crysis 2 takes players to a new urban jungle in the sequel, bound for the PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, where aliens are apparently invading and faces need blasting. You'll have to pick up the newest issue of the print publication to learn more, but you can gawk at its cover as of right now."

lol...

Please be Roland Emmerich: The Game...

Meh, the first one was boring enough. Pass.

Crysis on the cover of a console MAG. It almost makes me want to cry. Anyways NYC could be cool.millerlight89

Well at least that means my current computer will run the game just fine.

It does leave a bitter taste in the mouth that's for sure, I am not getting hyped for Crysis 2 since I am not overly convinced it will come to the PC. I can see them delaying the PC version by 6 - 8 months to concentrate on getting the game out for the console. I faithfully supported Crytek with Farcry, Crysis and Warhead and my reward is "a console port from now on". I am afraid gamespot does not allow me to use the appropriate language to express how much I despise Crytek right now.

Will the new crytek engine for crysis 2 be using DX11?

Lol, yeah where are you getting this info? Since when has crysis been on a console?

Where are you coming up with this crap? AAllxxjjnn

How about you put a bit of effort into telling me exactly what you disagree with eh ? which do you consider crap ? The idea that the PC might take a back seat to the console version ? (there is a history of that you know) or is it the fact that this is nothing but a dumbed down console port and Crytek are sellouts.

I guess it is a question of whether you believe Crytek or not personally I think they are full of bull I certainly would not trust any screen shots from Crytek. The PC will be taking a back seat with Crysis 2 that is inevitable but you want to keep thinking "the glass is half full" then be my guest.

I personally would say Crytek let us down the minute they decided to go multiplatform, that was the day they stopped being a PC developer. I personally don't know what studio is making what but the noises Crytek are making are certainly NOT promising. You just need to see the hype they have generated about Crysis 2 on the consoles they have said sod all about Crysis 2 on the PC.

This latest example with the Playstation mag illustrates exactly what is happening, there is already a console bias from Crytek. Yes it is true that PC gamer were the first to show us 2 screenshots from Crysis 2 (that showed next to nothing) and had a short article that said absolutely nothing except the ambigious "verticality" crap. Nope not a peep about the new setting for Crysis 2 in a PC gaming mag. How do PC gamers have to find out about the setting for Crysis 2 ? Oh yeah we have to read it in a bloody console gaming magazine.

I don't doubt for a second that Crytek are not developing all three versions, I imagine they will quite happily off load the PC version to one of their lesser studios to do the port. All the noises that Crytek are making come across as "consoles are our new home screw the PC". It doesn't bode well for the PC version of Crysis 2 and to be honest I find a hard time getting hyped about this port, especially when I have to find information on the game from some console mag.

Crytek should show some PC gameplay already. Everyone is crying right now because they think it's going to become some corridor crawler because of consoles.AAllxxjjnn

Amen to that!!

Well if you come to think about it...crytek aint any diffirent. They will focus on console version and they will let us down at some parts. Now if the pc version comes after the console verions...well thats a possibility i guess!!

hopefully a good part of it will take part in central park where theres lots of trees and vegetation which is what the cryengine does best and its would make it possible to have some very large open levels.DJ_Headshot

Crytek has never dabbled in urban warfare before... let's see how it'll pull this off.

Thats it if they release a console port before they release on PC im done with gaming.

They probably chose a city environment so they could make a corridor crawler that the consoles will be able to handle.

So this game is going to be focused on the worst part of Crysis? Fighting aliens... siiiiiiiiiiiigh.

- They reveal these details in PSM because they want to take over Resistance's market; the third game is rumored to come out at the end of the year or early 2011 and it's set in NYC

- There is nothing wrong with hyping the game more on the console market. They alreay have an established fanbase on the PC, now they must throw some bones over to the consolites.

- CryEngine 3 ports the PC assets to the console in real-time making all the adjustments needed. The game is developed exculsively on PC. The Frankfurt studio, the one that made the original Crysis, is developing all three versions. Crytek UK, which has a lot of console experience, may lend a hand in tweaking the console version to be perfectly playable. It all boils down to the control method and the tweaks needed to make it fun on all platforms.

Whilst my respect for Crytek has fallen since they decided to port the PC exclusive to consoles, and that I am very sure the PC will take a back seat in terms of PC publicity and Crytek's own development and content, I am glad that it still is coming to the PC, and I'm glad us PC gamers will get an overall better experience than the console gamers.

Better graphics (obviously only if you have the hardware) Better gameplay (mouse and k/b) and also, probably one of the best things about these types of games (when the developers are willing to include it - im pointing the finger at you here Infinity Ward) the ability to mod out the game to your hearts content, providing a constant stream of new user created content!

But... in the long run, if Crytek does take a back seat for the PC.. i will be utterly dissapointed, just as I was by Infinity ward, and many other developers.

I don't see how it can be a sequel set inNew York due to the ending of the first game which made it pretty clear where it would be set.

Sounds good!! Who knos maybe the NY setting turns out to work well!!dakan45

Is it so hard to figure out it either begins on the island or the island is featured in flashbacks?:P

Nanosuit 2 teaser provides info about the game, that happens in 2024 (4 years after Crysis) and has Nomad again as the main character. The first teaser -with phrases as "Quarantine" "Still alive... But how?" provides some room for speculation-:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbs65hmlmNI

Seems obvious that the plot is going like HL-2, leaping from the cliffhanger ending of the first game to a totally new environment.

Now the question is, how much did they water down to abide by the consoles standards? This can't be good for console owners..we all know what happened to FEAR 2 when it graced consoles. Good game, but it was lacking on many levels.gamer082009

Im just excited that there IS a crysis 2 so as long as it is as good as the first or better then im all for it

Gah, all I can see where I heard this news is Prototype with less fighting. Crysis2 is going to be dull if the whole game is city based.

Only way I can see it interesting is if buildings and objects are totally destructable and enterable. Being able to 'run through' or topple buildings would be hella cool.

I hope we find out what happened to Prophet.

So this game is going to be focused on the worst part of Crysis? Fighting aliens... siiiiiiiiiiiigh.
