[QUOTE="Alwaysrun"][QUOTE="SentientGames"] Oh, and whoever said Crysis is just a copy of Deus Ex...what the fluck are you smoking?That would be me. And I meant what I said dispite not smoking anything whatsoever. Don't get me wrong here I love Crysis and find it engrossing and challenging but when I see so many people say a game is innovative I just have to let the devils advocate in me out. Deus Ex has a super human enabled protagonsit with a varied array of weapons to choose from all of which can be modified to suit the players style. How is this any different from Crysis? Super Strength, Super Speed, Cloak, Super Armor..Been there done that ala Deus-Ex. Imo Crysis could do far worse than being compared to one of the all time greatest FPS and also a GOTY recipient itself. I must say I dont really see much of a similarity between Crysis and Deus Ex. Actually I'd say Bioshock and Deus Ex have a lot more in common. While all three have some kind of 'super human ability'. Bioshock and Deus Ex both have a strong RP undercurrent, a great foucs on story, dialog and NPC interaction to one extent or another. In my oppinion Crysis plays very diffrent from Deus Ex. :)Mazoch
Okay, I see your point about having super-human abilities, yet there are a ton of gamesout there where your character has abilities like super strength and super armor. To compareCrysis to Deus Ex is like comparing Deus Ex to Superman because he has super strength and (more or less) super armor. And Cloak? Deus Ex ripped that off of Predator. Super Speed? I can't tell you howmany times I've seen characters with super-human speed. So, by your own logic, Deus Ex is just a copy off of a dozen games, movies, comics, TV shows, and novels that came before it.
Anyway, I wouldn't say Crysis is a copy off of Deus Ex. Other then the fact that your character has super-human abilities (just like thousands of other games, including Deus Ex), the two games can't really be compared to each other, save perhaps, the first-person-perspective.
Now, I agree, Crysis is far from revolutionary. But, it's is very evolutionary. I know most people don't care about graphics anymore, but Crytek did an amazing job raising the standard for visual quality and cutting edge graphical effects. But like I said, my heart is with The Witcher.
