“Become The Hunter!” EA’s promotional tagline for Crysis 3 and Hunter Mode says it plainly and clearly. In this mode, you get the chance to become the hunter, and your prey will not even see you coming (almost literally).
Hunter Mode was set up across 10 system-linked Xbox 360s, and so I felt right at home with a controller in my hands (Razer ones in fact). The “Infection” type mode may seem unbalanced to those who've seen the gameplay videos and read the description, but I'm happy to say that it is most definitely fun to play.
Battlefield Bad Company 2, Dead Space 2, Crysis 3, and a handful other EA games have finally had their online services shut down.
I had no idea that Bad Company 2 was still running, and only now that I know, I want to jump on! 😥
BF1943 is the only online MP game that I was genuinely interested in. Been playing since launch 14 years ago. Hate that I couldn't put in as much time to play as I'd hoped for during the final week.
Dead Space 2...... I wasn't even aware that had multiplayer. Nevermind that it was apparently one of their best multiplayers!
Dead Space 2 multiplayer had been hanging on for years - I'd boot my PS3 up to see some familiar names in lobbies. This will definitely be missed!
Electronic Arts has released a new update for the PC version of Crysis 3 that removes its SecuROM protection system.
Bang4BuckPC Gamer tested Crysis 3, The Witcher 3, Horizon Zero Dawn and Final Fantasy XV, with all of them running with 30fps in 8K.
That headline is a tad misleading.
The rig stated in that YouTube video is extremely high-end (ryzen 3950x oc, 32gb etc) and utilizing special water-cooling solutions, loops with pumps etc.
This rig easily costs 5k+ and a normal pc with a RTX 3090 wouldn't get close to these framerates or sustainable temperatures.
Mega powerful video card but the games you can play on that card are all available elsewhere. I want to see compelling pc only goty material titles ASAP
DLSS 2.0 no doubt has a big part in this too, The Witcher 3, Horizon Zero Dawn and Death Stranding run like a dream on my 3080, 4k ultra set to 60fps no drops or stutters and the system runs very quiet. Playing Borderlands 3 on badass settings, Red Dead or Division 2 on 4k ultra all run great (Red Dead has a few drops below 60fps) but my PC is working a lot harder on games that don't utilise DLSS, my room warms up nicely when playing those games.
Crysis 3 is shaping up to being a must buy. The hunter mode is looking pretty interesting.
At least this Hunter mode seems pretty interesting and sees them trying to step outside the box with their multiplayer options. Crysis 2's multiplayer was terribly boring for me.
Reminds me of Halo's Infection game type, which is what was alluded to in the article.
Far Cry Instinct's Predator Mode.
Good to hear that Hunter mode will be more balanced than it seemed in other Demos/Videos.
Crysis 3 is really starting to look amazing.
