[spindoctor]

as expected, it looks like an expansion pack for crysis 2 in which they found a way to shoehorn in the jungle setting. but whatever, crysis 2 was fun so i'll be getting this.

[Megaman]

Except it looks absolutely ****ing sick! Sigh. *looks at calendar*

[Meteor_of_War]

Definitely doesn't give any sense of open world gameplay.

[bittermann]

Nice...shiny green/blue and dark. Add more brown/red and turn the brightness down so you almost can't see anything and you have Doom 3.5

[Arioch]

I hope they can make the gun models a lot bigger before the game is released. I am disappointed that I can still see some scenery on the outer edges of the screen.

[Ne0Griever]

I'm anticipating all the boredom that I will feel when I play this game.

Fighting in swamps. Yipee.

Did they even bother making the series aesthetically pleasing anymore?

all about the dolla.. not aesthetically focused...

I was very much looking forward to what they had up their sleeves when Crysis 3 was first announced, but I'm seeing the same enemies, weapons, and everything.

It looks like a Crysis 2 DLC or Mission Pack rather than a brand spanking new Crysis game. Still gonna give it a shot, because the gameplay in Crysis is unlike almost anything else these days. The freedom in attacks is a breath of fresh air to say the least. It sure beats the hell out of the boring cover-based combat in so many other games.

This. Though it does look exactly like 2. Thing it's a bit lame thats it's in N.Y again. Hope we still have the cool large buildings from 2, i loved some of those early to middle levels.

Looks like ****, way too much cinematic effects going on. I hate all that blur, bloom, sparks and blood filling your screen.

[KAC]

Why did the gay went back from guns to a bow? Stupid nub. Otherwise, looks bad ass.

[Destroy]

Game looks dark, as in very little outdoor sunshine like FarCry or Crysis had.

[icecold1983]

looks identical to crysis 2 night levels

[nutcrackr]

I agree the trailer doesn't show much open gameplay. Then again a trailer like that needs to be compressed action. Visually looks decent, I just hope it's not too dark.

[Hapatingjaky]

Ah Yerli and his lackies at it again.... Let's go over the history shall we:

Crysis - hyped as best looking game ever period. All the pre-rendered videos, touched up picks and Yerlin interviews claiming it runs very smooth and optimized for PC. What actually happened? Demo release hit, game is an unoptmized mess, requires a PC that will exist 5 years after release of the title. Support is cut in 3 months.

Crysis Warhead - Game announced, everyone thinking that it is going to be DLC or expansion get the rude awakening that it is standalone and will cost as much as the original. Graphics are slightly toned down to increase performance claiming better optimizations. Support cut 2 months after release. Hackers rule multiplayer.

Cryengine 3 - Crytek unveils Cryengine 3 but turns out its for consoles. PC community knows what's coming next.

Crysis 2 - Game announced, Crytek claims PC first console second priority. What we got? Console port, promised high res texture pack etc etc but in reality the game shipped without, even ships without dx 11 support... 4 months later high res texture patch release with dx11 support. Support is then cut for the title lol...

Crysis 3 - leaked announced, add a bow you got yourself a sequel which again should be dlc. No improvement to tech as its a console port....

History repeating itself.

[Sasquach]

I keep seeing all these "next gen" graphics thats supposed to WOW us from the DX9 era and honestly....I dont see this "PS2 > PS3" like graphical difference thats supposed to happen......

It just looks like current gen, with more realistic lighting......

And im starting to think that tweaking the lighting ends up making the most dramatic differences between generations.

8bit > 16bit
16bit > 32bit
2D > 3D
3D Shapes > 3D Objects
Low Poly 3D > High poly 3D
From here on its just increasing resolution, polygon count, shader effects, and tweaking the lighting.
I think we've reached the point where we cannot increase the graphics in dramatic fashion outside of the natural progression of things.

[Chubz]

Nice summary Hapat.

[MNB4800]

Nice summary Hapat.

I agree with Hapat. Crysis 3 will be pretty much the use of existing Crysis 2 assets. Some have been modified, others have been outright reused. There is your sequel. Bargain bin for sure.

Also, lets not kid ourselves, we all know that this is coming mainly to achieve sales on PS3/Xbox360. Meaning, small areas, limited graphics,...etc.

Multiplayer ofcourse will be a grindfist. If you want to play Crysis 3, go play/replay Crysis 2. Sorry for being like this but yearly releases of games with small changes isn't interesting anymore. We all know they are releasing it in 2013 just to avoid having the game come out with other EA games.

I thought i was the only one bothered by this

[Megaman]

Youse blokes are real picky. Nothing can escape the tastes of fellow rage users. It's a game designers worst nightmare.

[badboy]

crysis is a console game

[crunchysuperman]

Hey, they gotta cash in somehow to try & make back the money that all us PC gamers stole from them by being nothing more than pirates.

[Apocalypsee]

Crysis 1 = Jungle
Crysis 2 = Concrete jungle
Crysis 3 = Jungle in concrete jungle? Jungleception?

Stop doing crap EA, use the original CryEngine and make a true sequel to Crysis, on what really happen to Prophet when it gets back to the sphere

Not really, there are still a number of effects that don't have a proper "real time" emulation, like SSS. We still don't have proper displacement maps either, we have tessellation which is an approximation but nowhere near cinematic quality.

The upgrade in lighting is because the industry has realized it is an area which was severely lacking before, same with animation. It's the only areas in which they can differentiate themselves from the competition at the moment, seeing as there is no new hardware.

[Jaws of Life]

I don't know about you guys but the whole blur/bloom is perfectly realistic. In the morning when I step outside I am always shielding my eyes with both hands from the shiny grass.

The evolution of Crysis is just such a farce that the only thing left is to take humorous stabs at it.

[zebra 204]

I don't know any of the games we play that have out heroes sleeping indoors for 8 hours. They have been outside the whole time and their eyes should be fully adapted to the light.



Realism is also garbage. If realism equals unrealistic blury, bright, annoying crap on my screen, I do not want.

Crysis 3' leaked screenshots

Crysis 3' leaked screenshots
July 24, 2012

Four new screenshots of Crysis 3, showing off the "Canyon" environment seen in the E3 demo, leaked today.

The gorgeous images were posted on the blog of Pierre-Yves Donzallaz, a senior lighting artist at Crytek, who has since taken them down.

According to Donzallaz, the lighting and post-processing effects exhibited in the screenshots are running in real time. They make the game world look particularly alive, which it is — Crysis 3 takes place in a New York City that has been terraformed after the events of Crysis 2, turning it into a literal urban jungle. It also brings back some of the wide-open spaces that were characteristic of the original Crysis' tropical setting, while retaining the verticality of its sequel.

Crytek, the German studio making Crysis 3, has stated a desire to maintain parity across all three platforms, both in terms of visuals — as much as possible — and gameplay. "If something would radically change the experience on one platform, and we can't translate across all of them, then the feature will not be there," director of creative development Rasmus Hoejengaard told Polygon in April.

Crysis 3 is set to launch on PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3 in February 2013.

those shots look heavily touched up

and at "leaked". They are trying to remind people that Crysis 3 is on the way .

As per usual with Crytek, they're editor shots. In-game assets, but taken at an obscene resolution with maxed out AA and then downscaled.

[Redeemed]

I honestly think Crysis 2, with High-res textures and tessellation, looks very good. And I enjoyed both Crysis games. Looking forward to this one as well.

[KingRoLo]

I Wish i bothered to complete Crysis 2 in order to even begin giving a sh1t about Crysis 3.

+1.

[theshadowcult]

It doesn't actually look any better than Crysis 2, just higher resolution...

Also, after playing Crysis 2, i am not interested anymore anyway, it's now just another console shooter...

Exactly. I loved the open world, multi entry points in Crysis 1. I remember playing some scenes over and over trying different tactics.

actually, there were areas like that in Crysis 2 as well, just harder to see because of the environment, but there was actually a decent amount of freedom in it. It's the rest of it that follows your console fps cookie cutter...

[TrixteH]

Loved Crysis 1, didn't bother with Crysis 2 and wont bother with Crysis 3. Just another generic console FPS in my eyes.

One that looks really good, however.
