News

published Just don't go into the subway. Oh wait, you have a nanosuit. It's all good, then.
Crysis 2, the new game by which to measure your gaming rig up against. But it'll also be coming to consoles, which is good news for those who don't have beefy computer systems.
The guys at Crytek promise that regardless of system, it'll be one of the best looking games available to the platform.
While we know how impressive the CryEngine is when dealing with lush, outdoor, brightly lit environments, let's take a look at how Crysis 2 will look when showing off the Big Apple at night.

cobot Hmm.... I gotta say that the little enjoyment I got from playing crysis came from the fact that the setting was the in Jungle...Dunno how this will be.. Guess we will find out soon enough...Reply -
baracubra I have to agree with Cobot. There are so many games that take place in urban areas, and crysis was unique in the sense that it was set on an island in a jungle that actually looked good, unlike some COD games' jungle scenery *cough cough*.Reply
Regardless, I will be getting this on its first day release and will cherish the opportunity to play another crytek/CryEngine game! -
psycho sykes This makes me cry!!Reply
I'm afraid that even my new system might die trying to run it..
I hope that developing it for consoles means better graphics AND performance on the PC platform.. -
joytech22 Finally a semi-freeroam first person shooter with massively destructive environments, amazing visuals, awesome performance (to be tested!), amazing physics and firefights!Reply
This is going to be the killer game i reckon! one that console users may very well appreciate for a VERY long time! -
halls Think I'm gonna wait on reviews for this one. Crysis was great for a few hours before I hit the aliens, whose main weapon was boredom/making all of my suit powers feel irrelevant.Reply -

You're still fighting in a jungle here, it's just concrete... ;) -

marraco Looks like another flavor of FEAR 2.Reply
Without the nature environment, how will be possible to stalk enemies hiding in the forest?
