Crysis 3 is actually back to its roots

Everybody agrees that the trailer for Crysis 3 for E3 was absolute sh*te and made the game look like a linear COD style snorefest. I have no idea why they went down that route when the actual gameplay looks so stunning and open ended, much like the original Crysis was.

...and what's with the rose-tinted glasses? Do people forget that Crysis 1 started becoming linear two-thirds of the way in, until the final level looked like a COD set piece?

Some things that I noticed were:

Frogs and other wildlife are back to shoot up

The breakable trees are back

Way better destruction than Crysis 2 and 1. Big chunks of rock can be blown from boulders. Thick trunks have large pieces blown off them.

The levels look pretty damn large (no pun intended)

Things like multiple routes are pretty common with vents and spaced out alternate paths everywhere

Though the HUD is the same as Crysis 2, it seems to play much more differently.

I remember them saying that this will be a lot more linear than the first Crysis.KHAndAnime

no, its not, is still crap, crysis 2 also had these "different routes" is just a "wide" area with 2 or 3 routes with small differences, its not open map. Looked a lot like crysis 2, more than crysis 1.

to be fair it's hard for me to like crysis 3 after the "story" of crysis 2 which was just plain horrible.

I dont care for open ended games. Would Crysis 2 have been better if it was about as open as Gta 4? I dont think so.

Was Crysis 2 even that good, when you kill someone in Crysis there is no sense of accomplishment. It feels like a second tier Halo or COD. I mean it looks pretty, I love playing it for the looks, because I'm a whore. The gameplay though, the nanosuit, isn't very fun. I hope they can fix that in this game, but adding a bow and arrow doesn't look like fun. Mulitple paths, they always claim this, one is gonna be the "right way" every other way will be meh.

I noticed it, and the destruction looks a lot better than both 1 and 2, which was a seller for me cause I was such a rampager, with luring Koreans into shacks and than detonating C4 and watch the shack collapse on them or stick C4 to barrels and throwing them into large crowds or heavy vehicles.

The gameplay they showed for E3 was crap it pretty much sci fi themed CoD, but I guess that's one of the areas that will have a "Michael Bay" moment

Consolised crap, the Crysis franchise is dead, face it. The video in OPs post looked like abit more open than Crysis 2, but it's still nowhere near the awsome freedom of Crysis.

From what I saw the game is still far too similar to Crysis 2. The environments are better but the movement of the player, the HUD, sound effects, enemy call outs are all identical to C2. It feels more like Crysis 2.5 rather than Crysis 3. Not impressed at all by it and it will take a lot more for me to part with my money to get it

Crysis 2 all over again.

i was really hoping for a different setting

crysis 1/warhead = jungles, beaches, icy wasteland

crysis 2 = a wartorn city

i was hoping for desert mountains type deal or, hell, take the fight to the squids and bein in their mothership or something

it looks like its the exact same game, they should have changed things up

It still looks like Crysis 2 so I'm not excited.

I was hoping they would have an actual sequel to crysis 1. I see that's not ever going to happen :(gunmaster55555

i duno how they became so uncreative after crysis 1

it's like their only goal was to just copy mw

and do it badly

[QUOTE="JigglyWiggly_"] crysis 2 is a carbon copy of mwStarshine_M2A2

reskinned

same OMFGNESS SAVE TEH WORLD RAMIREZ poopy

which was fine in MW2, because that's what they do, but when people copy it, they just do it badly.

I for one liked Crysis 2. Sure it was different than Crysis 1 but to me in a refreshing kind of way. I love beautiful islands, jungles etc. but I enjoyed a Crytek game set in NYC and I think if Crysis 2 had a better (simpler, clearer...) story, more interesting and developed characters and less alien parts it could have been a superb game. Other than that I enjoyed the gameplay style which I think follows the same formula Crytek has been using ever since Far Cry. For Crysis 3 I think it should have been set someplace else. In African deserts, Syberia maybe...

I hear they were going to re-implement speed mode from Crysis 1. If that is true then the levels must be bigger.

I really must be THE ONLY PERSON that liked Crysis 2.... :(FelipeInside

wow! that alembic soft body physics, floating particles and volumetric fog, can't wait to get my hands on this game and the latest built CE3. this and watch dogs are the only 2 titles stepped into next gen graphic. BTW TC, crysis3 had the same interface because that's how HUD in CE3 is programmed, you can changed the size or simply disable it.

crysis1 was a linear shooter with some sandbox elements, above mediocre graphic when it released, a game built for future hardware(4 years) and now a no more than a sub-par looking game by 2011 standard.

I don't know why so many internet virgins(mostly with a low-mid end PC who never had full experience of this game)tried to exaggerate crysis1 make it sound like something it never was, that "open world crysis1" was only a game built in virgins' imagination from ground up, while the real crysis1 released by crytek is a different game.

[QUOTE="JigglyWiggly_"][QUOTE="FelipeInside"] People compare MW to Crysis 2 cause they are both close quarter combat. Also, people are butt hurt cause Crysis 2 didn't bring the open world big map style of Crysis 1. I still think both are awesome games.Brean24
