Looks like they are using an engine designed for fps for third person action game. They should just delay the game a bit and make this into a first person action game.

They delayed (working) on it for 5 years and still looks horrible.

 

[RubenCordeiro]

The gameplay appears to be broken. It has been getting better in the last few months, but it still looks sub par.

 

[Sturm]

This is looking very terrible honestly.

I'm going to roll a PS4.

 

[Scrooged]

All I see is jank.

 

[Spongebob]

Animations are really wonky...

 

[hey_it's_that_dog]

WTF happened to Crytek? These guys made Crysis and Crysis Warhead for crying out loud!!!!

Just because you can make a technically impressive FPS doesn't mean you can animate characters or design a melee combat system. Although the aliens in Crysis 2 were pretty well animated weren't they? Melee animations require a higher level of skill, I guess.

 

[~Devil Trigger~]

Oh Crytek.

Cloud Powered Physics!!!!!!!!!

 

[GhaleonEB]

"Looks rough" is about as charitable as I can be. Very clunky, confusing and buggy.

 

[unholyrevenger72]

When ten stabs to the torso doesn't cut it, a kick to the shin will.

At a second glance, the sword's not even touching the enemy; he's stabbing air.

They're play fighting. Like when you were a kid and tucking the sword under your armpit was analogous to being run through

 

[Cidd]

ULTRA COMBOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Ya all the crysis games had good animation

 

[Chamber]

Crytek done fucked up. They know that, don't they? They know they done fucked up.

 

[Prince Vultan]

Wow... this reminds a lot of Gladiator Begins on PSP.

 

[ethomaz]

WOW Crytek is not good in gameplay :-(.

 

[kriskrosbbk]

is it me or the movement is 2003ish

 

[Chance Hale]

ULTRA COMBOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Oh shit, he just dick punched that guy. In any case this certainly seems very buggy but such things can happen I suppose. Hopefully by launch they get things worked out. This is just the coop mode after all, the single player could be getting focus.

 

[matrix-cat]

It's like Crytek saw that 'Press A to Awesome' Dragon Age 2 gif and decided to turn it into a game.

 

[SniperHunter]

Oh Crytek.

Absolutely hilarious!

[fluffydelusions]

I can't decide if this or the original kinect game looked worse

 

[NullPointer]

ULTRA COMBOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

slice, slice, slice, twirl, slice, poke, poke, twirl, poke, kick-poke(?), super underhanded testicle skewer, and hold, breathe, and release, back to center, then wind up for the shin kick, *bwooooooossSSSHHH*

If this was a Kinect game I'd have lost ten pounds already with the Roman Gladiator workout.

 

[Deadbeat]

Chivalry has better animations. What is wrong with you Crytek?

 

[DrM]

ULTRA COMBOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

This gif should be speed up till 11th blow and then ultra slowed down for final kick

 

[BadWolf]

Looks pretty bad.

Animation is very janky and the gameplay is very basic and run of the mill.

 

[timlot]

What happen to this game. The E3 footage was some of the best graphic I'd seen besides the whole QTE thing. Now this just look bad. I need to find a good co op game but it seemed they don't make em no more.

 

[Impeccable]

I figured the game would look better as we neared launch.

My bad.

Edit: That epic "300" kick looks more like he is dry humping him.

 

[Chance Hale]

The giant neverleaving A button seems to hint something could have gone wrong with the whole demo. If nothing else the last few Crytek games have been very polished so I don't know why that would end here. Then again it is a launch title so there could be a rush. Still think it'll turn out fine.

Animation bugs aside, what looks particularly worse? Mostly great textures, reflections are still there although in lesser form due to different armor, etc. I mean it's arenas as compared to the polished single player stuff after all. God of War Ascension's multiplayer looked great but couldn't possibly compare to the single player's set pieces.

 

[Mulgrok]

The perfect launch title for the perfect console. Microsoft is set for the next generation!

You forgot about the asstastic "AI" in Crysis 2 or how hackers managed to crack the multiplayer in a single day....

 

[Raist]

Jeebus Crytek, hire a couple of dozens animators stat. You've got 2 months left.

 

[Chance Hale]

AI isn't really polish(how many games have good AI after all?) and wouldn't the multiplayer breach be a security issue rather than being particularly damning of their development teams?

 

[ToyBroker]

Man, it makes me sad that when this game bombs that we probably won't see another Roman combat game like this for a longgg time. I'm a huge history buff for this era.

 

[Kuro]

This looks hilariously bad, what's with the animation?

 

[Lunchbox]

that's was so dull

wonder which one will be shittier, this or knack. ms and sony going head to head on who can provide the most buyers remorse at launch

 

[KingSunIsFree]

Wrong thread but this game does what ryse is trying to do better as it seems

[Bedameister]

The combat system just looks crappy. I wonder if they can fix the animations untill release

 

[SniperHunter]

The AI was completely broken in Crysis 2 at launch. This is well documented on gaf and around the web.

Hacking the multiplayer was also very easy iirc crytek forgot to implement cd checks in the mp portion, enabling pirates to join games.

I am not going to mention anything about cheating or how ropes lead to a 20 fps drop in crysis 3 (they haven't fixed it yet)

 

[Broder Salsa]

The combination of fucked up AI and bad animations is just fantastic. Dude floats around and just stands with his back to the action

 

[RadarScope1]

Looks cruddy. I'm so fucking over all the violence porn, anyway. I don't need fuck tons of gore to enjoy a game. I just need cool gameplay systems.

Hmmm...

I don't remember the AI being broken but fair enough, I didn't play Crysis 2 until later on. And multiplayer security hacks are still a completely different thing, especially the act of implementing CD checks isn't the role of the people are are actually making the game.

And using the "not going to mention anything" line and then naming specifics is really awful In any case, rope glitch aside Crysis 3 as a whole was very nicely polished and I didn't experience any other bugs or crashing issues. Not sure why they haven't fixed it if that's the case(haven't replayed the first level since launch) but it's one thing.

its the ancient Roman Electric slide technique.

 

[WAR recon zero]

And the hype for this game was rising everywhere, it's ass, don't fall on the hype, don't support this kind of practice

sshhh, you'll anger him

What kind of practice is that?

 

[KoopaTheCasual]

Someone explained it to me earlier...the characters go into slow motion for a zoomed in close up for a cinematic kill. But the fighting around the two characters continue at normal speed. So you'll see some bodies hovering above you in slow motion while you walk at a normal speed.

That sounds horrible... Is there a way to turn off slowdowns completely?

 

[bob page]

Looks bad. No other way to put it.

 

[fluffydelusions]

I read that in Major Nelsons voice

 

[Corky]

Hahaha I'm sorry... I'm sorry I feel bad for laughing at this game. Looks hilarious.

 

[Sub_Level]

Literally press A to awesome. Wow haha
