[metallicorphan]

Seems Crysis 3 artwork has been leaked and details of the Limited Edition went up(and then took down)on Origin

VG247 say there will be an possible (official)announcement next week






I really liked the first two games on the 360(weren't overly keen on MP on Crysis 2 though),so defo be in for this

EDIT:Better picture of that cool looking Bow and Arrow

[metallicorphan]

ugh,for the love of...

The new instalment, is said to take place in a heavily destroyed New York which has become "almost a jungle", thus combining the settings of the first and second games.

New York....again

[TiLT]

You know a game is off on the wrong foot when one of the first pieces of information we're provided reveals that they're cutting corners (ie. reusing assets from both the previous games instead of making new ones).

I don't know:

Crytek's apparently promised to deliver "the best sandbox FPS in the market" - strong words backed up by its earlier comments to CVG that the game looks "stunning".

the bolded bit has my attention.

[metallicorphan]

I have no doubt that i will love the game,that's not what i am moaning about

I don't live in New York City and i have never been there,but i am sick to the tits of it...2 things that have been done to death in video games and that's Zombies and New York City,especially when the second game was set there,and i remember thinking the same thing when we saw that footage of the Metlife Building coming down...plenty of other places in the U.S.


anyway the official announcement will be on April 16th

add a zombie expansion to this

[Caine]

well then I guess I can go and recommend you avoid both prototype and the sequel.  nothing but zombies in NYC there.

officially announced for 2013
http://www.computerandvideogames.com/343887/crysis-3-first-screens-and-details-released/



and what is a new release without a special edition
http://www.computerandvideogames.com/343892/crysis-3-special-edition-detailed/

Having just officially announced the worst kept secret in FPS games, EA has detailed a Crysis 3 special edition.

Crysis 3 Screenshot Dubbed the Crysis 3 Hunter Edition and available to pre-order now for $59.99, it grants players "the tools to become the ultimate hunter in multiplayer" with early access to the game's new signature bow weapon and its attachments, plus the Hunter Nanosuit module which adds additional power and functionality to the super-suit.

Those who place their pre-order now will also get a bonus online XP boost to level five, a unique bow skin and three exclusive dog tags. Additionally, select retailers are offering the following early multiplayer unlocks for pre-orders:

    * Stalker Pack: Includes the base game, all Hunter Edition content and the following early multiplayer unlocks: for players who like to stalk their prey from the shadows the Stalker Pack provides early multiplayer access to the deadly semi-auto Jackal shotgun. This powerful, close-range shotgun comes with a unique silencer attachment, custom weapon skin and two exclusive themed in-game dog tags.
    * Overkill Pack: Includes the base game, all Hunter Edition content and the following early multiplayer unlocks: the Overkill Pack features early multiplayer access to the Typhoon assault weapon and skin. Spewing 500 rounds a second, the Typhoon gives players the ability to go guns blazing to take back the Liberty Dome. Also included are two exclusive Overkill themed in-game dog tags.
    * Predator Pack: Includes the base game, all the Hunter Edition content and the following early multiplayer unlocks: the Predator Pack delivers early multiplayer access to the Feline submachine gun and exclusive camo. With an extremely fast rate of fire and a 60 round magazine the Feline is highly effective and deadly, at short range.

I bet the signature weapon for 4 will be a club.

[kronovan]

I still haven`t played Crisis 1 or 2. Should I get them and which one 1st?

Crysis 1 is on Xbox Marketplace Games On Demand 1600 points(1840 in UK,£14.99),Crysis 2 is on Games On demand as well for 2400 points(£19.99)but you can easily find that cheaper in stores or on Amazon

I played the second one first because that was first to Xbox,and i enjoyed it but a lot of other people weren't as happy with it,then i played Crysis 1 and they give you so much more freedom with the first one,a great big tropical island,and you can take out bad guys however you wish(you could in the second one as well,but your choices seem more natural in the first)

both great games IMO though

Crysis 2 had multiplayer,but it wasn't really my thing,so i wont really comment on that apart from they had the COD4 thing with the killstreaks(3,5 and 7 kills)


I went to look at the prices for PSN,forgot it was down due to maintenance  (the one time i needed it.....blah blah..)

Lol, I didn't even know the 1st game got ported to the 360. Thanks for the feedback Metallic, I'll start with 1.

[metallicorphan]

Sorry Kronovan,i forgot,that Crysis 1 for Consoles did not include the multiplayer or expansions that the PC versions got

Trailer for Crysis 3

I was hoping they would release in March with both Bioshock Infinite and Aliens Colonial Marines due in February already(and Dead Space 3 and i think Metal Gear Rising Revengeance as well)

Multiplayer Beta-29th Jan 360/PS3/PC

CVG gave it 8.5,but they also mentioned that the game is only 5-6 hrs long(yes you are in Crysis 3's thread not the Metal Gear Rising Revengeance thread)



There is also this

What was, in Crysis 2's time, a minor rift between PC and console has now deepened into a titanic gulf. On a high-end PC, it's five-to-six hours of constant gawping awe; on consoles, inevitable graphical compromises means Crysis 3 loses that spark and spectacle.

A note of caution for PC owners, however. We were told you'd need to crossfire four of the latest graphics cards to max out the experience. One Nvidia GTX 680, for instance, costs £400. That's upwards of £1500. For Crytek, this is the ultimate benchmarking tool, the theory being you'll return to the game in four or five years with an updated machine and play Crysis 3 all over again. It's a fine theory - but we'd rather play it now.

my 360 cost £150 

[Caine]

ouch, 5-6 hours is way too short for full price for me.  especially considering how long Crysis 2 was.  btw, Kotaku gave this a "no buy" recommendation.  too many bugs, inconsistent gameplay, and a step down from #2.

A step down from 2?  What does it do, make your character reenact the Beevis and Butthead laugh every time you kill something?

I have never been more bored by fighting aliens with a nano-enhanced supersuit than when I was in Crysis 2.

Eurogamer gave it a 7? You don't say.

yeah, if I wasn't get $20 back from Amazon I'd return it, but that 20 will go towards Tomb Raider (making it $24.99), which comes out March 5th with a $5 credit alongside SimCity which also has a $20 credit, and that $25 will go towards Bioshock Infinite.  it's like a series of dominos...

That's not saying much because Crysis 2 was horrible.  AI was incredibly stupid I just gave up.

[Roman]

I'll pass on this. While I enjoyed Crysis 2 the lack of an actual boos fight at the end left me befuddled and betwixt as the end simply caught me off guard.
Add to that th 5-6 hr estimated and its simply not worth my 70$ what with Tomb Raider and God of War on the horizon.

[msduncan]

I was excited about this one.

5 to 6 hours of gameplay for $65?   No thanks.    I'll wait two years and buy it for $20

[Kurt Stevens]

5 hour game play makes this an easy decision.  I'll wait for it to ship from gamefly and save my money for gears of war and Bioshock next month.

[CeeKay]

played the PC version for a bit, started out with everything maxed out and it gives me 20-30 FPS according to FRAPS.  damn this game is pretty, and the opening scene during a rainstorm on the docks really looks nice.  the bow feels overpowered so far, I go9t a feeling that will change though.

I may give MP a shot later; I didn't touch it for C2 so I'm not sure what to expect.

[Turtle]

I got this free as part of a video card purchase. Which is nice since I didn't pickup the video card for Crysis, but it makes a nice demonstration game.

I dropped down to medium graphics settings after trying out Very High, I've really started to like playing games at 60FPS, and at medium settings, the game still looks very good.

As for the gameplay, I'd recommend playing on Veteran difficulty unless you're not good at shooters at all. Mainly because the suit abilities can make things incredibly easy.

Overall, I'm enjoying the game, but only because I didn't pay $60 for it. I actually prefer my shooters more like Halo, more interesting enemy AI, more interesting encounter setups, and less active use of the power armor.

Honestly, can't wait for the next generation of games where the developers don't have to limit themselves to 512mb so much.

I'm playing the "Waiting for EA support to unlock my copy".  Oh Origin...you so awesome.  :/

[CeeKay]

here's a couple of screens from the PC version.  they're from the beginning during the storm.

new DLC is apparently due out next week:  The Lost Island MP pack.
