I hope you're right, but they didn't seem to care for that stuff going from C1 to C2. Considering that stealth is such a huge part of the game, we really need some damn variation.

Okay debunk time...
1. How the hell!!! did they build a truman show like dome around all of NYC while it was invested with insanely strong aliens!?!?!
2. Also why retake a city that is nothing but ruin???
3. Why not nuke it if it's its imperative to save man kinda to kill them all.
Most importantly, I usually get hyped about a ton of games only to find out how the big bad publishers got their claws in the devs. I don't trust this will be good, Day 365+

This game is getting a lot of hate.

Yeah, somehow I missed that the first time I watched the video. At least it's cool that using it doesn't drain suit energy.
I love watching his videos! The way he plays these games is an art. I've watched his playthroughs of both Crysis 1 and 2. Picked up a couple little tips also.
Sometimes I try to pull off some of the stuff he does when I play but on console it's hard. For one, when things get hectic and the framerate dips and second trying to do some stuff with a controller is not easy.
I have this gut feeling that we haven't see the worst of it yet...
IF it turns out to be a cash-in then shit will hit the fan. I'm still waiting on more gameplay/walk-throughs though.

Nice to see some jungle like elements, but I would have preferred not to go back to NY.

Different strokes for different folks I guess because I agree 100%. Crysis 2 has both the excellent technical graphics and NYC never looked better. Not sure I understand why people are complaining about the art. The game looks fanatastic technically AND artistically and Crysis 3 is actually, in my opinion, going to have even better art because now you're adding more greenery and foliage on top of a city, urban landscape. What more could you ask for? It's the perfect mix!
It's the same people that decided that Crysis 2 was terrible before playing it. The turnaround of positivity in that thread was crazy. Kind of the opposite of what happens in most OTs actually. Crytek did a bad job showing the more open bits of 2 before release and it looks like that's going to be the same case here. We need to wait for the game to really speak for itself.
There are a few vocal people.
I remember the unfinished version leaking and it ended up getting positive word of mouth as a result.
Don't do this. I just watched The Fifth Element, and while I love that movie, it has such a stupid nonsensical backstory to it that my nose would bleed if I tried to dissect it. Just roll with some things.

All I need is a more tuned Crysis 2 with much better enemy AI and I'm in for whatever they Crytek has in mind.

It is terrible compared to Crysis 1. Did I miss the thread where everybody took back that opinion?
The levels are small and cramped compared to C1, the story that was barely there in C1 is in your face all the time in C2, as in your face as the story is most people still wouldn't be able to tell you wtf was going or name more than 2 characters, GIANT GUNS ALL UP IN YOUR FACE, worst A.I. in a modern game.
Doesn't mean it's still not a AAA shooter. And the best looking one out there. I still enjoy it. But that doesn't mean anything that people were complaining about didnt turn out to be true.
Again, the writing in Crysis 2 reminded me of this video from The Onion.

That's pretty deep. (And true.)
I agree. I think because most people played it on console (where it looked and ran like shit) their experience was tainted.
Oh well, their loss.
(trailer is a bit fail though)

Also:
1. What's the matter with being set in NY again? Considering it's now all rubble filled with vegetation and what not the levels will be completely different than those in C2.
2. About recycling content, was Majora's Mask considered just an expansion of OoT? And even if it was, was it a bad game?
Some people are just crazy.

The opposite for me. My first time with the franchise was on console and I fell in love with it. At a time where more scripted shooters are the norm, the more open approach to taking on enemies was pretty refreshing to me. The suit powers, verticality, on the fly gun modding was all great to me.
The res was low and the hud was weirdly stretched on PS3, and the framerate wasn't always the greatest. But the core gameplay was there for me.
5 pages deep for a trailer of a game that won't be out until 2013.
people are talking about it, good or bad. and when it launches dudes will still put parts in their machines to try and max this game out on PC. even though it got toned down for consoles crysis is a hardware mover on the pc side.

Yeah, that part's going to need a little splaining.
Don't think about it too hard..just an excuse to play around in a jungle again with CE3
1. NFC
2. I don't know, tech?
3. Seems like Crynet sold humanity on the idea that this shit is good for them and Prophet is acting as a rogue agent. I don't think the nanosuit has nukes installed :l
I meant that you think they cut it so fast on purpose so you can't see the aliasing.
They can't win anway. Hiqh quality PC footage: "yeah right that's not how it looks". Realtime footage: "man they should have used the PC version".
1. 50 years went by, so who knows. Aslso scifi plot/game/movie/excuse
2. It's not ruins.
3. Kinda hard with Cell on the trigger.

I'm not excited for this game at all, but that is some really good boxart.
Okay I'll be a little excited if it doesn't resemble the second game much.

No, no it's not.
I could slap together a better box art with those assets in my sleep, starting with not putting the main focus of the image into the top right while using up half of the space with the face of the liberty statue which is almost impossible to tell.
The lead character artist on Uncharted 3 just moved on to Crytek. Maybe things will get better now?
DAT BOXART
Now that's how it's fucking done.
Artwork is really elegant this time IMO. Layout and the urban jungle thingie give a pretty unique style to the imagery atm.
We just launched our latest iPad mag. I'm loving the double-cover already:
I think it's less violent & generic, like more natural.

I think those are video compression artifacts being blown up in size rather than regular aliasing. I say that because streaming "1080p" video isn't actually 1080p. If you watch it at in the window those artifacts aren't as noticeable and it looks a good deal sharper than 360 footage of Cry 2. The aliasing isn't uniform either. The plants in the foreground, which are usually the worst for aliasing, look sharp and defined. The motion blur and particle effects also look quite a bit better than console Cry 2, and the framerate is better.
So either the console port had massive improvements or that's PC footage.

Disagree, stuff in the background tends to have more aliasing because the objects are rendered with far less pixels.
The screen I took from the Gamersyde MP4 quite clearly shows aliasing on the barriers in the background. It's absolutely regular aliasing, and absolutely not compression artifacts. I would estimate that the majority of the gameplay footage is 720p. It could still be PC, running console res to simulate what they hope to achieve on 360/PS3 by launch.

Anything thin and angular is a good candidate for tons of aliasing.
It almost looks like banded metal with specular highlights. Note that the metal posts in the background have no aliasing whatsoever, despite being just as far away.

The barriers are near horizontal, that's why the stepping shows up more. Look at the fallen platform just above the weapon sight. That wouldn't have specular highlights... same aliasing.
That's a step in the right direction. The jungles of Crysis 1/Warhead made the game. (Also amazingly beautiful beaches!"

Not that excited that the game is set in New York again... Sure it is an iconic city, but so are many, many other cities...

why on earth did you take that from my post? I said C2 was not as good a game as C1 and Warhead. Of course the graphics were better. The gameplay was not.

Oh, my bad. When you said "vanilla crysis" i automatically thought you were talking about non-modded Crysis, therefore graphics. I even wondered if you meant gameplay after I responded.
edit: plus the fact that you mentioned dx11 crysis 2 looking just as good as this trailer right before the sentence in question.
No.
Looks like a Crysis 2 mod to me.
No new music (or music at all), no dialog, overly tropical environment, etc. That being said, I would like to FIND this mod for Crysis 2 if it is indeed that as it looks fantastic.
I fairly certain that's the Crysis Revival mod for C2.

No Nano Dome unless it simulate or the dome projects the atmosphere.
