cover of the magazine included and this time it's not fake!

r214083d ago (Edited 4083d ago )

Referring to your MP comment, its probably is. If I were to buy this game, hunter mode would be my top reason to buy it.

Blastoise4083d ago

Hunter mode is great. I can't help but shake the feeling this is gonna be a rather mediocre game though.

I mean look at Crysis 2 reviews, look how high THEY were. And once you've taken away the graphics what are you really left with?

starchild4083d ago

Umm...the reviews were pretty good for Crysis 2 and...low and behold it was a good game in many people's opinion. Imagine that.

I don't understand you silly people who think that the world revolves around your opinion.

I really enjoyed Crysis 2. A lot more than most shooters, that's for sure.

I'm excited for Crysis 3. The amazing graphics are only the icing on the cake.

bentarrant4083d ago

Hi five starchild. The graphics just make it better, the Crysis series adds a nice and much needed variety to the point and shoot monotony of other FPS games. It's also an interesting story line. Hunter mode is also brilliant fun, I can see this game doing really well..

Drumsmasher4083d ago

Lol, Starchild. I think you're trolling, but idk in reality. Defending Crysis 2, and saying that someone's opinion doesn't matter? Do you work for EA? I mean, your name is starchild! I hated ME3!

Gaming1014082d ago

Seriously, if this is a measly 5 hour game on normal difficulty I'm not buying it. Hunter mode is a cheap distraction. If they can't create a single player that last's more than 10 hours, considering it's more open world than Crysis 2, you would've thought they could include more.

This is starting to look like a stupid tech demo. Multiplayer was garbage. Hunter mode was a distraction; something that loses all its novelty after not very long. Plus with cloak suit it's practically a camper's dream. Now you have people sitting and waiting while being invisible so you have no chance of not getting killed by them. If you have a PC this game's only redeeming factor is that it's really good looking provided you were nerdy enough to spend 2 grand on your PC to make Crysis 3 run on ultra high settings.

InMyOpinion4082d ago (Edited 4082d ago )

No one seems to have noticed that this is a polish magazine reviewing a polish game.

Not saying they are biased. But not saying they aren't either. :) I'd probably wait for more reviews to come in before being too happy.

Judging by the MP beta I wasn't impressed at all. Imo the graphics on the console version looked worse than Crysis 2, which is very weird. Gameplay was a very standard affair.

8-page review?

It might take me longer to read the review than to beat the campaign.

And overall it got 9 out 10 O_o Short but really really fun is what im getting from this review.

hosseincode4083d ago

looks like multiplayer is good enough

DizzyDino4083d ago

I will rent it from Redbox. I rent all the short games from them.

DigitalAnalog4083d ago (Edited 4083d ago )

Nowadays, even the legendary Halo can be finished within the same time period. Let's face it. It has become a gen concerned about putting tech first then work with content later, or simply they will use multiplayer as an excuse to promote some false "value", no matter how generic into the game.

Drumsmasher4083d ago

At least it has better multiplayer, and at least the story makes sense.

Hooby4083d ago

Methinks you havent played the legendary halo. Well, maybe with 3 other friends, but def not alone.

Bathyj4083d ago

im not believing 5 hours. i never finish games as quick as they say. and crysis is a game i will sneak my whole way through.

Murad4083d ago

Well you got to remember that games normally take the best score from the overall time completion, rather than the overall time it took to complete the chapter/ level. Or that's what I've known so far for most titles, like Vanquish for example.

IAmLee4083d ago

it's not about quantity, it's about quality :')

andibandit4082d ago

What matters is the product of both.
If either of them is zero, the other wont matter

Yodagamer4083d ago

Well the article did mention something about something cool afterwards, so maybe it's something that will elongate the single player experience.

masa20094083d ago

Disappointing especially since C2 was longer than your average contemporary shooter.
Oh well, I guess the lerger environments explain this. And probably the 2-year tops dev cycle.

LapDance19744082d ago (Edited 4082d ago )

Agree totally, was pretty shocked it came out so quick.Not to mention the no DX10 support annoys me, and I was a huge fan of the first game, but I have serious reservations about this game.

tronjohn4083d ago

The game length and enjoyment sky-rocket on higher difficulties. Crysis games are best played on the hardest difficulties! The AI is more cunning, the HUD is less littered with bullshit and you actually have to plan your attack instead of using your bullet-sponge armour. I encourage everyone to try it this way. The game becomes a tactical puzzle of sorts (I am assuming the levels are more similar to Crysis 1's more open layout)

-Gespenst-4083d ago

That's ridiculous. The visual quality and design are really alluring, but if that's actually true, I'm not getting this game.

pr0digyZA4083d ago

5 hours seems short. But if you take a step back and think about this then
A ) the magazine had a deadline as it needed to go to print and was the first review, meaning the reviewer was most likely pressed for time.

B) when crysis 2 was released some reviewers claimed it was 6 hours long, which turned out to be not true for the majority of players (although some finished in 4 hours, but others finished In 15), this seems to show that there is quite a lot of variation in play styles that can affect time.

The only way we will really know for sure is when more reviews are up.

A7XEric4083d ago (Edited 4083d ago )

Honestly it always takes me longer to beat these games than what these early reviews always say. And game length also in no way reflects the quality of the experience.

I beat Journey in almost one sitting and it was probably the best game I played all year.

But nevertheless it is a little disappointing to hear it is that length, especially given how lengthy Crysis 2's campaign was compared to other modern shooters

SlyFamous024083d ago

Sorry but Crysis2 did not have a long campaign by any standards.

Tyre4083d ago

That the problems see u guys have unimaginative standards, with Crysis the gameplay open, they leave it to the player how he gets to the next area. It is not like holding ur hand all the time and just straight to the next area by brute force 'u can' but it is by far the baddest way to play Crysis. If they say 5 hours, they mean put difficulty on very easy and go straight to every checkpoint by brute force, that my friend is the way to beat every game in 5 hours & the least fun...very boring & unimaginative way to play a game, especially Crysis.

BlindGuardian4083d ago (Edited 4083d ago )

Crysis 2 along with the first Resistance have the longest single player campaign for FPS this generation

and this is from someone who finishes the COD games in less than four hours in hardened

A7XEric4083d ago

Maybe not compared to Skyrim or something, but it took me around 10 hours to beat which is way longer than all of these 4 hour Military Shooters on the market right now.

Imalwaysright4083d ago

@ BlindGuardian FC3 campaign is much longer than RFoM campaign.

For me it's the opposite >.< . I always take less time to complete the games then the official or even players time..

Not trusting early reviews as they tend to be overly generous. Hope it holds true.

cmon crysis dont let me down.
im supposed to be playing aliens this week but thats not happening.
if this falls through i have to wait til god of war to play something.

I had no idea that Bad Company 2 was still running, and only now that I know, I want to jump on! 😥

SonyStyled129d ago

I was able to find games in the Vietnam dlc on ps3 the last week. There were articles on here about the server closure when it was announced in April

DaReapa130d ago

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.

Inverno129d ago

I got really into 43 when I bought Bf3, and preferred it. Everything that I disliked or found annoying about Bf3, wasn't an issue in 43. Too bad they never bothered releasing it on PS4 or PC.

1nsomniac129d ago (Edited 129d ago )

Dead Space 2...... I wasn't even aware that had multiplayer. Nevermind that it was apparently one of their best multiplayers!

anast129d ago

Once people stop buying micros, these companies close the doors.

Xenial129d ago

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!

Yep. Wait a couple of years and get this level of performance on a RTX 4070 or 4080 at a much lower price.

Killer73nova1277d ago

And wait a couple more years for rtx 5070 or 5080 at a much much lower price

Yung-T1277d ago (Edited 1277d ago )

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.

Aggesan1277d ago

Who has a "normal" pc with a RTX 3090?

Yung-T1277d ago (Edited 1277d ago )

There's still a difference between a high-end GPU+CPU and a custom-made water cooling system including a Waterloop&pumps etc though, it allows for much higher performance due to the better temperature management that would fry the GPU&CPU with normal builds.

lonewolf101277d ago

That's why people need to read the articles, most headlines are just to get you to click.

Rainbowcookie1277d ago

You would think yes, but honestly does it happen often 🤣 enough

I_am_Batman1277d ago (Edited 1277d ago )

Most of the threads of the 3950x were barely utilized and none of the games that were tested allocated more than ~12.5GB of system memory. Gaming at 8k is pretty much as GPU bound as you can get so you won't need a water cooled high-end CPU or 32GB of memory.

Psychotica1277d ago (Edited 1277d ago )

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

Psychotica1277d ago

And where else can you run them in 8K or even in 4K with the same level of performance?

averagejoe261277d ago

Who cares? Nobody has 8k screens and the majority don't even have 4k screens.

This push for pointless high resolution is ruining progress. Give us better framerates, lighting, physics, etc. Stop wasting power on needles 8k.

lonewolf101277d ago

@averagejoe26

There are people with 8k monitors though.

Bender65021277d ago

And still we can't escape 30fps.

JCOLE131951277d ago

I mean given the fact the games are running at 8K it doesn’t surprise me...

MrDead1277d ago

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.
