Kotaku: When a great-looking video game imitates a real life place, how close do the two get?
Compare the downtown Manhattan of Crysis 2 to the real thing and you'll see what happens when just one real intersection, where State St. meets Bridge St. down in the financial district, becomes a video game battlefield.
Crytek said that they had to modify the reproduction to protect themselves form legal BS. Its sad that they cant 100% reproduce the loacale.
And of course the streets are blocked of, its to keep you in the game area, but be honest, when playing the game did you notice the stuff blocking you in? I didnt.
Which one is real, lol.
Crytek did a fine job at recreating manhattan.
In 2020 world be like that! Crytek beyond future!
IRL Manhattan has better textures, imo.
