Crysis 3, Winning The Red Dot Award, Here's Why

Crysis 3 has been awarded the Red Dot Design Award 2013, but why is it that Crysis 3 is the winner? The Red Dot Design Award has three distinct categories a game needs to excel in before it can be judged, product design, concept design, and communication design. This year the judges clearly thought that Crysis 3 did each of these well, and it's not that surprising when you look at the evidence.

Give Crysis 3 as much crap as you'd like, but it was leagues better than 2 and definitely had its moments. Story was mediocre though.

Baka-akaB3930d ago

Being better than Crysis 2 isnt saying much , and that's one of the issues with the game . it's pretty , but that's it

Red Dot what? another meaningless award from some random site? We need a definitive awards approach for games, The Problem is everyone has bias now days.

Might as well give the award to Killzone,COD,HALO as they are all pretty much the same thing.

dcj05243930d ago

Errrr. No. How the hell is halo like cod other than it has guns and you shoot stuff. Same with killzone. Check your eyes. Because those three are pretty different from each other.

_QQ_3930d ago

Other than how high you jump and how long it takes to kill people its the same boring first person perspective.None of them deviate much as far as weapon variety other than the energy sword or G hammer, i will admit halo is the most different but not by much.

They also don't have good enough stories to set them apart in that category either.They all share that same gun turret sequence in every FPS. They all have that one section where you have to do silent takedowns. The level design in those games are all equally bad.

SilentNegotiator3930d ago

Why are you trying to stir up console war crap in an article about Crysis 3 winning a meaningless award?

dreamoner3930d ago

Crysis is a pure crap story/story-telling wise and after first game's sandbox play, it became pretty bad, boring at gameplay also. But nano-suit is/was something else; after playing crysis 1 at the time, for a while I felt the lack of nano-suit at other shooters. I was thinking what would it be like if I was wearing a nano-suit in this(random) game? :P

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

SonyStyled135d 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

DaReapa135d 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.

Inverno135d 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.

1nsomniac134d ago (Edited 134d ago )

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

anast134d ago

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

Xenial134d 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.

Killer73nova1282d ago

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

Yung-T1282d ago (Edited 1282d 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.

Aggesan1282d ago

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

Yung-T1282d ago (Edited 1282d 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.

lonewolf101282d ago

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

Rainbowcookie1282d ago

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

I_am_Batman1282d ago (Edited 1282d 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.

Psychotica1282d ago (Edited 1282d ago )

How does the cost of the PC make the headline misleading?

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

Psychotica1282d ago

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

averagejoe261282d 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.

lonewolf101282d ago

@averagejoe26

There are people with 8k monitors though.

Bender65021282d ago

And still we can't escape 30fps.

JCOLE131951282d ago

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

MrDead1282d 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.
