Crysis 3 Gets A New Single-Player Trailer

DSOGaming writes: "It seems that EA and Crytek are doing everything they can to hype the latest iteration of the Crysis franchise. As a result of that, the companies have released a new trailer for Crysis 3 that focuses on the SP mode of it. Crysis 3 is planned for a February 22nd release on PC, X360 and PS3, and promises to be the best looking title ever. Enjoy!"

Crysis + Muse = awesome trailer.

Shaman4088d ago

Damn right. That ending was piff!

TheGamerDood4088d ago

Don't know who Muse is but the trailer was awesome!

Twignberries4088d ago

You.. dont know who muse is??

WTF!

Belking4088d ago

Awesome. Easily the best looking game of this gen IMO.

aceitman4088d ago

Just like battlefield 3 they used the pc version to show on the trailer .

Pandamobile4088d ago

How does that change anything? It's still one of, if not the best looking game ever made.

GearSkiN4088d ago

well of course they would show the PC coz thats the main focus in these kind of games...

brettyd4088d ago

@Belking I take it you haven't played the console Beta, its not close to being the best looking game this gen.

pr0digyZA4088d ago

Why does it have to look the best on console(if its amazing on PC) for it to be the best looking game?

brettyd4088d ago

Because PCs don't have "generations" like consoles do, he said "this gen" and its not the best looking console game this gen. I honestly don't think it looks any better than Crysis 2 on consoles and that game wasn't impressive at all.

Pandamobile4088d ago

The "Gens" are just divisions of time. When we talk about "the best graphics this generation", you're not going to discount all of amazing looking PC games just because they're either not on consoles, or don't look as good.

The PC versions of Crysis 3, Battlefield 3, Metro 2033 etc are some of best looking games this generation, regardless of how "average" they may look on console hardware.

Upbeat4088d ago

Well there was a graphic comparison on n4g last week between the 360 and the pc, pc as usual looked the best where as the graphics on 360 looked unbelievably blurry. Awful shame that no crysis game will ever look like the first one on PC :-(

Twignberries4088d ago

That's because ITS A BETA you clown! Battlefield 3 beta looked nowhere near as good as the final product (single player).. I assure you when this game comes out, the pc version will be praised for its visuals for quite a while after its release. Definitely not as long as the first one did, but thats all relative to the increasing speed of new technology

Upbeat4087d ago (Edited 4087d ago )

@Twignberries mate i know its a bloddy beta you half wit! it still looked far better on pc and thats my point, the 360 will still look blurry on release anyway so no point in defending it, and obviously it will be praised for its visuals thats what has made the game so well known, crysis 1 was built from ground up on pc and thats why it was remarkable, crysis 3 is build on 360 and optimized for pc and thats why it will not look anything like the 1st crysis.

Twignberries4087d ago

@Upbeat Wtf man?? do you even understand game development at all?? Built on the 360? Ported to PC.... Your cred burnt to ash at that statement Haha

The art direction is so blah in this franchise...

Irishguy954088d ago

For some reason I feel like the engine itself tarnishes artistic direction. Luckily I don't mind between quality and art. If one is good it covers for the other imo.

iamgoatman4088d ago

Trying to attain photo-realism is "blah" now?

panbit864087d ago

They do an amazing job at achieving photo-realism the problem i think is that the whole design lacks character... lacks identity!I can't really put my finger on it but the art direction of this franchise as a whole hasn't managed yet to avoid a generic feel/approach.

Eldyraen4088d ago

Its "blah" in the same sense most of the real world is. Crysis's art direction is in many ways based on what is believable and based on real world examples of today given a secret/alien tech overture at times. Its basically modern day or near future tech which doesn't allow for as much headroom to go nuts with as say a more futuristic/sci-fi setting.

The only really future tech is based off military funded secret projects (nano suit and some weaponry) derived from alien technology. Other than a few military secrets though it grounds the game into a more realistic setting and allows for aliens to contrast a bit more. Personally I like the more grounded setting although I agree to a point as it lacks the style and flash of some other sci fi games.

Tyre4088d ago

Day 1 purchase, excited to play it.

Kingdom Come4088d ago

Seeing them live again in May. Greatest band of all time, although, I'm bound to say that, I've been a fanboy for years...

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 )

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

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.
