Crysis 2 New York

Sandbox in New York. I hope they actually make good use of the new urban environment.

Aw. No more Koreans.

Also more aliens-- the one thing I hoped wouldn't be in Crysis 2. :/

So basically they're taking the most powerful game engine out there, capable of rendering nature's beauty in gorgeous detail...and they've moved the game into New York City.

What. the. Fuck. :smith:

Makes it easier for consoles to run it, even though they've already taken a massive step back by dumbing down the engine.

Money wins.

ugh im so sick of new york, fuck them.

Yeah I guess, but why New York City of all places? I never understood what was so fascinating about designing a game in NYC when there are so many BETTER cities to fuck around in.

Vancouver, BC would be amazing for Crysis 2 :saddowns:

The aliens made crysis what it was, from the beginning you realised something was going to happen like with Halo when the flood arrived.

If you watched the CryEngine 3 presentation, the urban environment feels like a city however it looks different. The game takes near 2020 I believe, and in the video they showed thats most likely going to be what it looks like. It looked pretty damn awesome to me. It's futuristic looking as well, so it could be intresting. I also bet your still going to go to the island as well, becuase Prophets still there. And besides, why would you go away from basically the mark of the 1st game, which in this case, IS the island?

Lol. They better make this one actually fun enough to play. Crysis was just a glorified bench marking software.

Good idea, poor execution.

Gameplay involving the aliens, and the design of the aliens themselves, was very lackluster and frustrating-- the aliens tend to jump randomly, and Crysis tends not to be the most responsive and framerate-friendly game out there. The sections with the aliens were crap, too-- all linear and open areas-- and the AI for the aliens was boring to deal with. They don't scout or use cover, they just charge at you.
