didnt look that great to me graphically. not bad but not OMGSSS. looks like another decent looking console game.

downside though is how it seems you lose control of your character again like in crysis 2 and that was annoying as hell (hit a point in the game and you're essentially moved to a cutscene).

crysis was still the best re: gameplay IMO

right...

Look at some of the PC screen shots.. not compressed youtube footage. It's insanely detailed.



People who say shit like that are either trolling or fucking dumber than a box of rocks. Hopefully he's the former.

looks amazing...but if its just another console shooter...could care less.

all these consolized FPS games that play themselves have gotten boring.
I don't want to sit and watch videos and scripts play the game for me.
If thats what lazy console kiddies need, thats fine, keep it in the consoles. I want to control my character..not have a script play my character.

All the good PC FPS games are now history..

I want a raw arena style FPS like Quake 2 and Quake 3 multiplayer brought to the world.. Sick of the team/realism/world war/modern warfare blah blah BS. Ok /rant.


If nothing else, this will be an amazing engine to build a real game off of by the looks of it.

I couldn't agree more on these points. Are the majority of gamers really creating the demand for this stuff, or is it just the developers that think we want it?

Have you ever seen a forum post: "Please recommend an FPS with tons of cutscenes and scripted events!!"

No.

With STALKER2 having been cancelled, I can't really think of an FPS on the horizon (aside from Metro Last Light) that I am really looking forward to. I was pretty stoked about FarCry3 until I saw the same kind of incessant "Game Movie" kind of stuff that's in these Crysis trailers.

This game looks gorgeous. I saw it in person at E3 running on an SLI rig. It's extremely detailed and combines the best of both 1 and 2. Considering that this is not even the finished product, it's quite incredible.

that looks badass, and the bow might provide some interesting gameplay opportunities. Looking forward to this.

So no sandbox again...*sigh*

It makes me chuckle when people whine that Crysis 2 or Crysis 3 is not a sandbox game as if Crysis 1 was. Crysis 1 was NOT a sandbox game, if it was, it's a poorly designed one. The game was just a bunch of missions set in a huge map with 90% of the map having nothing going on. The game still boils down to either going stealth through the 10% that matters and once you're detected, all hells break loose in explosive firefights.

Yeah, sure, I like running around exploring the scenic views as much as anyone else, but that doesn't make it a sandbox game. Fallout, STALKER, and GTA are sandbox games.

Man I think people have this false memory of Crysis.

This.. It was an FPS with insanely huge maps and you could take a lot of different paths. But you still had to go 1 specific direction.

Openness neq Sandbox.

Crytek has said numerous times that Crysis 3 is going back to it's roots. Most levels will be wide open, minus a few parts where you have to get through tight quarters.

They also said it's going to be PC priority and then scaled back to work on consoles. Crysis 2 was console priority. Console gamers will get a consolized version of a PC game. PC gamers get the PC game.

Yep.. the whole idea was to have a weapon that has range, but is silent. You could snipe with the rifle in Crysis 1, but it made sound. You can play with true stealth with the bow, which apparently makes the experience pretty damn fun, and something Crytek said should have been in the game from the beginning. It totally brings out the 'hunting in the jungle' experience.

I find it funny that people post about "sandbox" and games...when they cleary don't understand the definetion of "sandbox":

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandbox_game

An open world is a type of video game level design where a player can roam freely through a virtual world and is given considerable freedom in choosing how or when to approach objectives.[1] Video games that include such level design often are referred to as "free roam" games.
The term is sometimes used interchangeably with "sandbox" and "free-roaming";[2][3] however, the terms open world and free-roaming describe the game environment itself and allude more to the absence of artificial barriers,[4] in contrast to the invisible walls and loading screens that are common in linear level designs. The term sandbox refers more to the mechanics of a game and how, as in a physical sandbox, the user is entertained by his ability to play creatively and with there being "no right way"[5] of playing the game.
Despite their name, many open world games still enforce restrictions at some points in the game environment, either due to absolute game design limitations or temporary in-game limitations (such as locked areas) imposed by a game's linearity.

Apparently linking a wikipedia article make you a winner and negates all the fallacies in your argument. You win brah!

No I win if no valid counter is presented.
That you have issues whit facts and the real world is your problem...not mine.

What facts? you posted a wikipedia definition of sandbox games and whether Crysis is a proper sandbox game that people seem to be screaming about is the topic of the debate. Your wikipedia article didn't answer anything. Derp?

My point is, whether Crysis is a sandbox game is debatable, and even if it is one, the game is NOT a posterchild for a good sandbox game, so it's quite humorous when dumbasses cry about how Crysis sequels should be more sandbox like the original. No, it shouldn't. Sticking feathers up your ass does not make you a chicken.

To me.. SkyRim is Sandbox.. I'm a crysis fanboy and I don't consider Crysis a sandbox game. It has sandbox elements, but it's not entirely sandbox.

I keep watching the footage. Holy shit this game is going to own. Crytek clearly learned some lessons in game design and is pouncing on their tech. Their turnaround on Crysis 3 really makes Valve's HL EP3 attempt look pathetic. Crytek would be on EP8 by now.
