At the recent EA summer showcase, using the aid of his nanosuit’s cloaking mode, games.on.net snuck into the dressing room of Michael Elliot Read, Producer on Crysis 3. Unfortunately the cloak energy ran out just as Michael was taking his pants off, so to defuse this awkward moment we quick-fired off a list of things we've been wondering about EA’s upcoming sci-fi stealth blaster. The result was this interesting insight into Crysis 3’s approach to linearity, local matchmaking, hardware requirements and more, with not a peeping tom violation in sight.

I have a feeling that MS will end up purching either Crytek or EPIC games next gen.
I too wouldn't want Microsoft to own them, but only because that would mean less availability.
I would imagine lots of games were and still are being held back by consoles that otherwise could really benefit from being on the PC.
It didn't fail. Some people didn't like it.
If that's the logic you use, then Call of Duty has failed for years now, since I didn't like them. And they're butt ugly.
Apart from that, none of the gameplay mechanics make a lick of sense. So, if you activate cloak mode, and don't move, it doesn't drain the battery, but as soon as you move, it does? WTF?? Also, where is all this energy coming from that you use to charge back up your suit (which only takes a few seconds anyway).
So the game is just a rinse and repeat of sneak around, find cover, charge your suit again, sneak around, find cover.......
There's absolutely no reason you'd go in for a straight up fight as the gunplay is sluggish and unenjoyable, and if you go up against more than about 2 enemies at once you are almost guaranteed to die (and armour mode only deflects about 3 bullets before discharging, which is pretty ******* useless when enemies are firing machine guns at you with amazing accuracy.
Meh, it was on sale, so....
Looks quite pretty though!
People can drool over the CryEngine 3 all they want, and I myself certainly don't deny its technical prowess...which is why it's so unfortunate that Crytek hasn't done anything interesting with it. To me the CryEngine 3 is hopelessly boring.
nice contradiction bro.
CryTek and Nvidia has developed a new kind of Anti-Aliasing specially for consoles in order to make games look better by reducing the jaggies, something that nobody has ever done, all other devs keep using old Anti Aliasing techniques like FXAA and others....
Their games may look great, too bad they play like sh*t.
lol @ AA talk... as if that's where gaming most needs to be improved. smh
Meanwhile, almost everyone else will be playing better games.
That said, if you want 60+ fps always and activate all nonsense settings to max, like ubersampling or such, I agree you need more power. If I had the money I'd buy dual 680 too. My point is it's not necessary for 1440p to be enjoyable ;)
did you heard about the Direct X 11 patch and the High Resolution Textures Patch? if not you should try to install it sometime.
The reason why Crysis 2 on the PC was better was because of the mods the community had provided.
Besides it wasn't about graphics, the gameplay felt dumbed down for a Crysis game and it didn't feel as open as the first game.
They had their hand too far up Microsofts backside to worry about anyone else.
Oh by the way
"somebody lives inside the earth"
What does that even mean...
If your going to try and insult someone do it properly. I'll help...
"Somebody has his head in the sand"
yeah i know
i just moved to Mars ...will i see you there or did you move to Neptune ?!
It will be held back by generic shooting galleries and a lack of imagination.
Battlefield 3 and its Frostbite engine have probably been one of the best examples of great optimization in the pc space. My GPU actually gets utilized properly and helps me maintain consistently high fps above 60fps with my single oc'ed gtx 680 as it should be at 1080p.
Cryengine 3 is nice and all, but crisis needs to die. it's a cold game, no life.
Games are bought to be played on release, not 2 years later.
Anyhow give me a great Valve game over Crytek's anyday.
Gimme a good game.
Crysis 3 will be just another console port that will not play like the original Crysis that we all loved!
I'm more excited about the U.S. Release of Warface than i am Crysis 3!
>DX11 version (as advertised) is only available MONTHS later. Way after game completion. Way after realisation of how crap game is, and how there is little reason to replay.
See these pennies? Heee. U won't be having them. KEEEHEEE.
CRYSIS GAMEs SUCK? ok i respect the opinion but CRYSIS and CRYSIS 2 are a lot better than some games that fanboys from XBOX and PS3 keep dreaming about!
the series have very good reviews!
ya but i do understand FANBOYS they hate CRYSIS beacause the first one for six years now, keep showing how CONSOLES are very, very, poor in grafics and fisics departmant... and more!
