Hid.Kojima : Crysis is a ridiculous game.!!

"Crysis is a ridiculous that has a Stereotype story!" Hideo kojima has said on a interview with Dengeki Playstation magazine!

[Jio]

Gotta love Kojima

[StanLee]

He's right but when he says it, it's lauded, when I say it, I lose bubbles.

[captain-obvious]

100% with kojima on this one
based on my MP demo try with crysis
it IS a ridiculous game

[Rynx]

I can't help but feel conflicted.

I don't really care about Crisis, a game with highly vocal developers touting it as the second coming.

So with Kojima saying this you get intrigued.

Then again I don't care much for developers/producers talking smack about other products. With that I'm disappointed with Kojima's statement.

You can't also help but wonder that with his Japanese culture and their views of gaming being far different from the western views, that this statement stems from that.

Whatever though, Just announce MGS5 and MGS HD Collection already!

[Mystogan]

The multiplayer is cool but Story is ridiculous i agree.

[pain777pas]

Rynx, when the Kojimas and Jaffes of the world talk who have consistently made outstanding games it is good for the developers to read this who are making the game they are criticizing. Usually there will be some truth in their critique and could be helpful especially with the solid mechanics and gameplay seen in Crysis. Kojima is a genius and trully should be lauded because his games are much deeper than they appear.

[Bereaver]

Well, those that know MGS can really understand what I mean when I say..... of course every storyline seems stereotyped when it comes to his mind. He's a genius.

[Istanbull]

Kojima is right, MGS series put the standard so high in story telling that everything less is ridicilous.

Now give us MGS5 goddamit!

[kneon]

I wasn't a fan of the first Crysis as I found it rather dull, but not really ridiculous, I'd be surprised if the sequel is.

But I find his criticism kind of funny as I found MGS4 to be rather ridiculous. Who came up with some of these characters? A 10 year old?

My first PS3 was the MGS4 bundle and I've yet to finish the game. I don't get the fanaticism about this game.

[Man In Black]

The first and third games are my favourite in terms of plot, but the second and fourth games get needless convoluted a lot of the time. Still better than most games out there, but people praise MGS4's story like it's the second coming.

[gaffyh]

@kneon - Basically because you don't understand the story. It is clear that you've not played any game in the MGS series before, and MGS4 is the culmination of MGS1 and MGS2, so you really should play those games before playing MGS4.

I can understand what Kojima is talking about, the story in Crysis wasn't great, so I wouldn't expect the second game's to be any better. But I wouldn't go as far as to call it a ridiculous game, because it is still pretty fun to play.

[sikbeta]

H.Kojima = MASTER!

XD

[nix]

ha ha but dont worry 'reviewers' will find it awesome. i agree with Kojima.

[Man In Black]

@Gaffyh - Thing is, while the story in MGS4 is good, it doesn't come close to the previous games, with poor tying up of plot threads (NANOMACHINES) and irritatingly indulgent cutscenes that were a step back from MGS3's more balanced cutscene to gameplay ratio.

[Graey]

@ Rynx

I would say it wouldn't matter to much where your from. As a lot of people like say, DMC, Marvel VS Capcom, FF series.

People know quality regardless of where your from. I would think Kojima-san would know this above a lot of other people.

IMO

[PLASTICA-MAN]

Crysis is a complete ridiculous joke! Without Metal Gear, the game would have never existed (and many many others by the way), the WHOLE game is based on a stupid non epic looking nano suit!!!
They only copied an infinitesimal part of the Metal Gear story, made it look vulgar and silly and based AN ENTIRE game on it!!!
Maximum damage and epic fail !

[undercovrr]

Damn right stan lee. Well what do you expect, this is N4G for you.

[deafwing]

this must be

"i'm a game director, time to let my feelings known week"

wtf first cliffy running his stupid mouth about a glow stick now this ... really guys, he's Japanese? Who's to say the person who posted this here, didn't do so not understand the context of the interview/comment made by Kojima ... fed up of this stupid articles on here.

[MitchGE]

@ Rynx

And MGS4 trophies. If we get a MGS Collection with MGS 1-3 remastered in HD with trophies, I want platinums for the entire series. MGS is worth the effort.

This also gets me thinking, what if they used MGS Twin Snakes as MGS1? Hmmm. Not that likely, but still worth considering!

[Soldierone]

Ive been saying this since they first showed gameplay, which had very few enemies on screen and looked dull. Ill still check it out, but im not expecting greatness.

[RedDead]

Story wise MGS3>MGS1>MGS4=MGS2

[starchild]

Kojima should shut his mouth. At least that is what PS3 fanboys would say if he wasn't associated with the PS3.

[Redman22]

bubbs+ to you StanLee. ; )

placed my pre-order in yesterday. we'll see how things go with the demo.

@starchild

chillout man, that's just unnecessary.

[MaxXAttaxX]

I knew I wasn't the only one, lmao

[BattleAxe]

I liked Crysis and Crysis: Warhead, and I will be buying Crysis 2, but Kojima is right when he says that there isn't much of a story. Its just a fun shooter with really good graphics....not that theres anything wrong with that.

[jjohan35]

Is he talking about Crysis 1 or 2?

[dc1]

Clearly this is a translation issue. He clearly states that Crysis "Is one of the most fun games".

However, I would gladly give someone I worm free tomato if they could make sense of the remaining article.. it is very hard to bare out the true intent.

--
I would also add that it's not Kojima style to bash another developer's product.

[CobraKai]

yeah. it says it's translated from persian. for all i know he might be saying the game "is crazy"

[kane_1371]

@Cobrakai

I read the original language article, no, he sais ridiculous.

[MaxXAttaxX]

Which pretty much means GENERIC.

[Dread]

so kojima attacks games and it is fine with you lot, but when a developer associated with the 360 (Turn 10) claims that their game is better than the competition, then it is wrong and a reason to hate onthem.

and the double standards continue at N4G the land of the sony fanboy.

[Jio]

Kojima never said Metal Gear Solid is better than Crysis. He's just stating his opinion. He's still human, therefore he has opinions.

[InTheLab]

Kojima is not a Sony dev. MGS2 was also on Xbox and lets not forget The Twin Snakes on the GC or the Metal Gear (not Solid) franchise being on multiple platforms.

Turn 10 is from MSGS and they went after a Sony dev (which is what they should do for the sake of competition).

Lastly, I'm not sure what this has to do with the 360??? Unless you're one of the Crysis vs. Killzone types that forgot both of games appear on the PS3.

[lee_ten]

wow, defensive much? how about actually reading the article first?

[P_Bomb]

@Dread
Umm, Kojima productions do multiplats too. Ever hear of Castlevania Lord of Shadows? Kojima was onstage at the Microsoft E3 show last year with MGS Rising. You can get MGS3 on the Nintendo 3DS.

If you're gonna call out Sony fanboys, don't do it while in 360 mode. Especially when it's multiplat devs talking about multiplat games.

[Soldierone]

Differnce? Kojima makes the best games out there, he has a right to say what he wants. And yes he makes 360 games so your allowed to like him. Turn 10 made a Gran Turismo wanna be game, they cause havick to get attention and nothing else its a common business method. Attack the best, get attention, sell games.

[-Superman-]

Crysis - Very nice game
Crysis Warhead - Great addon
Crysis 2 - wtf is this? no story... ruined mp.. no way

[NeutralGamer]

Are you one of those who pirated Crysis 2?

If no how do you know the story? LOL

[hiredhelp]

even if he has a copy of this game b4 us. he has some insight to the game. sothis would be someone i would take note from if this guy is honist sais it has no story.

personally i beleave its about the gameplay as much as the story. i honistly thought crytek could deliver after all there one my favoured dev's. however we still not or i havent played the full version and only the pc MP demo. so there fr things may change. but people gota understand crytek are serious now about being a developer for consoles. so apart from farcry instincs, preditor. you could see this as a new line of games. in the future not always crysis.

lately i see alot people dissing the visuals. on both systems. this is a multiplatform game that has been soly developed useing a special engine on seperate consoles. this engine looks awsome. by all means compare it to any multiplatform game thats fine but ask me this up there with the top multiplatform games.

this still a ps3 buy for me. along with many others homefront inc. last note i thought respected developers never dised other dev's
like naughty dog thanking other devs in credits for helping you dont hear them saying other games shi*.

[Coffin87]

Yeah! You found one! Stone him!!!
/s

[the_kutaragi_baka]

i love kojima-san.... <3

[negative]

Kojima your herro????

Sad.

[Gamer_Z]

Lol where in that post did he say Crysis is a ridiculous game? I didnt see it...

[jimbone79]

I guess he forgot the completely ridiculous shit he puts out. A metal octopus super solder women, a bee-man, a vampire? Compared to the Metal Gear series Crysis is rooted in reality. I’m not sure how he could call it ridiculous. This really doesn’t even make sense. Are they sure something wasn’t lost in translation?

[prettyboy1]

r u seriuos?REALITY!?THE DUDES A ONE MAN ARMY WITH A FUKIN SUPER SUIT.DO YOU SEE THE IRONY OR ARE YOU REALLY THAT STUPID?

[jimbone79]

Well I'm not so stupid I misspell serious, and if a 1 man army is ridiculous his shit is way beyond that, and you're missing my point. I said "COMPARED TO METAL GEAR", you stupid fuck, pay attention.

[DigitalAnalog]

Please tell me how can you guys miss this statement below?

"Hideo Kojima in his last interview with the magazine Dengeki PS saying that Crysis is one of the most fun games on the site"

Sorry, the flamebait title has no relation to the article, what's even more pathetic are the comments on that site who obviously did not bother to read 3 SIMPLE SENTENCES that sum up the whole article.

-End statement

[morkendo23]

KOJIMA has spoken!!!!!!!

[lil Titan]

wheres Kojima agree button

[MariaHelFutura]

This is amazing.

[milohighclub]

At least there's a game to play, mgs4 was more cutscene than game play

[NewZealander]

well i loved mgs4 but considering the story was impossible to follow i dont think hes in any position to talk, and that ending ugh.

[gravemaker]

hmm, mgs got stereotyped story too

[Godmars290]

But MGS is its own stereotype, it doesn't follow it.

[evrfighter]

I'll only comment on the main character big boss, and snake.

Escape from New York

Wanna take a guess at what the name of the main character is?

[Godmars290]

evrfigher, are you trying to compare the movie which in no small part acted as the inspiration Kojima used for the character of Snake, against the typical lone warrior versus rampaging aliens that Crysis is?

There are major differences between the two. least of all the age of the Metal Gear franchise versus that of Crysis. That one set the basis for its genera, while the other just looks pretty - on a powerful enough system - while rinsing and repeating Aliens.

[lastdual]

Metal Gear's story isn't stereotypical.

It's ridiculous and convoluted at times, but it's definitely unique :)

[ps3destroyer]

Yeah if you are a sony fanturd it's pretty unique.

[fallingdove]

A man coming to terms with the fact he is a clone, whose life has only known the battlefield, fights against a faceless military entity to protect a society in which he doesn't belong(or understand) from giant robotic nuclear weapons. - And to complete the mission, he will kill friends and "family".

- Doesn't sound too stereotypical to me.

Now, 'man in super suit fighting alien invaders' sounds pretty familiar no? - I agree with Kojima on this one.

[Iroquois_Pliskin]

Finally, someone understands me!

[nix]

n dont forget that line in C2 trailer, "you're our only hope." ugh!

[Ingram]

And that was a great synthesis exercise there summarizing MGS's storyline, because there's a lot more.
Halo, Gears and Crysis can be fully defined with the second description though.

[NeutralGamer]

@Vaistrat

Troll no?

If you played Gears you would know there is no super suit...

Also in Gears the enemies is not the usual aliens.. They are a civilisation hidden underground...

[Ingram]

@neutral

Yeah, I know the Covenant origin, it seems like an alien invasion to me, it's like resistance which is a virus.I guess I should've said xenomorph.

And yeah, my mistake for thinking marcus fenix's suit is badass, it certainly looked to me like a step further than, say, gordon freeman's hazardous material suit.

[turnerdc]

@Vaistrat

Ummmm...I think you're getting your games mixed up. NeutralGamer is talking about the Locust Horde...the main enemies in the Gears of War series. You're talking about the Covenant...the main enemies in the Halo series. Gears of War doesn't even take place on Earth, it takes place on Sera and the Locust Horde are the planets native species that live underground. The Covenant on the other hand is a collection of several different alien species that declared war on humanity. Have you played either of these games? You seem awfully quick to assume you "know" the story when it seems you don't.

[NeutralGamer]

@turnerdc

This guy have not played them aparently..

[Ingram]

I mix them up in my head, sorry.

[GodofSackboy]

Have you ever played MGS? Undoubtedly the greatest story of all time, films included.

[Iroquois_Pliskin]

true, true... Haters gonna hate @disagrees

[gravemaker]

lol, not true. It's your opinion

[ATiElite]

I love MGS but come on... "Undoubtedly the greatest story of all time, films included."
that's really pushing it.

Star Wars, E.T., Forrest Gump, The Godfather, Half Life 2, Legend of Zelda Ocarina of time, FFXII, Elder Scrolls Morrowind, Curious case of Benjamin Button you get the picture by now

Kojima is right Crysis 2 is ridiculous and Kojimas cut scenes are ridiculously too long. Kojima needs to play HL2 and learn how to tell a story through game play and not 2 hour long cut scenes.

[B1663r]

He ripped off Hamlet. But thats ok, most things rip off Hamlet.

[turnerdc]

I loved MGS 1 and 3. MGS 2 and 4...not so much.

[shadowknight203]

you heard it from The Man here folks, now need only your own judgment to decide tis this the game ole be epic? or twas this not the droids your looking for?

[kasra1986]

Kojima a great man but not in this case speaks to Crysis

[WildArmed]

I agree.
I have utmost respect for Kojima, but he is only a human.
While i agree the Story may not be exactly 'great', it's the game-play that always counts in Crysis.
And honestly, I think Kojima understands that too.

Or, we know how people like to twist words of developers for articles. It may just be one of those cases.

Either way, his opinion shouldn't really affect anyone's opinion of the game.

I mean not everyone likes coffee right?
Until you try it, you will never know where you land.

[MRMagoo123]

If its the game play that matters then crysis is worse than i thought cos to me the game play was bland at best

[WildArmed]

Yes, coz your opinion obviously represents the majorities /s

[SH3RVIN]

Kojima is a Madman! i love Crysis! Crysis a big game!

[C L O U D]

Kvjyma Qaylm

[MGRogue2017]

????

[rrw]

!

[Stealth20k]

hes absolutely right. Its another generic shooter which fanboys are blinded by graphics and equating graphics with it being good.

[Syaz1]

generic? yeah, sure, there's thousands of fps' that let you play it as an action shooter, tactical shooter or stealth shooter depending on your preference, very generic indeed.

[Sarevok]

indeed

[RyuCloudStrife]

indeed it is generic

[BLACKBOIJONES]

Crysis sucks. Its just over hyped because it was once a PC exclusive.

[Roozium]

No, it was hyped because of its graphics. And it lived up to its hype.

[MetalGearBear]

more important: gameplay>graphics

[RevXM]

I wouldnt say that.
It looks worse on the ps3 than expected, judging by the Semper FI gameplay.

And on pc as well.
IT is very good looking on pc, but no Dx 11, and seemingly held back by console developement?
It is not what a lot of people expected.

It very likely to be a good game though but fails to meet everyones expectations when it comes to the tech.

[starchild]

blackboijones on his crusade again against Crysis 2. Did Crytek kill your mom or something? Jeez, games I don't like I simply ignore for the most part. What is fueling this constant bashing of Crysis 2?

There are some things I am not happy about that they changed from Crysis to Crysis 2, but it is still a very good game. At the end of the day I am going to have to accept the changes and take it for what it is.

[blakstarz]

What's ridiculous is how bad the PS3 version is turning out when these guys said that are going to push the PS3's power....now THAT is ridiculous.

[trounbyfire]

well pc developers on consoles..ok....uh.. no.

it hasn't tuned out good for many to cross over. on consoles you need to know how to maximise the relatively low amount of ram, and they clearly are having trouble.

consoles can do amazing thing but the developers has to be good

[ULTIMATE_REVENGE]

What an ignorant fanboy. The CryEngine isn't designed for PC only, it's a multiplatform engine and it completely destroys KZ3 and UC2 engine out of the water.

If it turned out bad then it's the consoles hardware and not the dev, and unlike 1st party devs Crytek didn't use all of the available SPU's for smoke and mirror effects (KZ3).

They used them properly and efficiently to make a game of this scale run and play to the best standard they could possibly get it to work. With their engine they could have easily made the game smaller, linear and have graphics 100x's better than KZ3. But they're not stupid and they wouldn't waist all 5/6 SPU's on 'Teh special effektz'.

The only devs making PS3 exclusives that know how to use the SPU's properly without waisting half of it's recourses on special effects are probably Naughty Dog, Insomniac Games & Sucker Punch.

[ksense]

@ultimate

from what i have seen and played of the game on 360 it hasn't blown anything out of the water. it is a great looking game but it doesn't blow UC2 and KZ3.

[maverick40]

@ ultimate_revenge. You are the troll unfortunately. I have played the crysis 2 demo, i own crysis for pc, killzone 3 and UC2. Crysis 2 is terrible in comparisson to the above mentioned games. Troll harder ass clown, you can't beat fact.

[MysticStrummer]

@ULTIMATE - Hmmm well maybe we'll get to see how this engine "destroys KZ3 and UC2 engine out of the water" lol ...eventually... but C2 is not the game that is going to show it apparently. KZ2 looked better. I'm talking about the console version of C2 here so no one needs to bother with any elite PC BS. Not interested. I used to be a PC gamer, and I will never ever go back.

[starchild]

All of you guys are full of crap. Crysis 2 doesn't destroy Killzone 3, nor does Killzone 3 destroy Crysis 2 (on consoles). I have played both and they both have their advantages. Fanboys of both consoles will claim to the ends of the earth something different, but in the real world the two games are fairly similar.

[MGRogue2017]

Well.. Maybe they are pushing the PS3 to the limit & they needed to decrease the resolution in order to keep the frame rate steady or on par with the X360 version..?

But... We don't know for sure if the PS3 version of Crysis 2 does indeed run at sub-HD & if there's some graphical effects missing.. we'll just have to wait for the likes of Digital Foundry or Lens of Truth to get their hands on the game to find out.

[trounbyfire]

it an absorbed notion its the hardware when PC, 360, and PS3 version all have problems. they never developed a game for 3 different platforms and have little console history with 360 & PS3.

blame them

Sony first party gets it done and some third party so do BS

[PS3BURN]

There is too little power to push. That's why it looks like shit.

[HungPHATx]

Ya but IGN was called out yesterday by 3 sites that have played the final build and it's identical to the 360 ! Remember DVD9 holds back multiplats on PS3

[trounbyfire]

this is pretty ridiculous and funny as heck.

wait is he praising it or trash talking it. dang website translator sucks

[SSKILLZ]

Yeah, you heard it from the man himself Stereotype ! And Generic !

[Reborn]

I'm still on the fence on if I should get this, or not. I might just rent it, and see how it goes.

[pneboy]

is it a translaton error where it says that rising is the best in the series?

[kasra1986]

Kojima not least because this talk we

[TheTruth89]

Nuff Said.

[Der_Kommandant]

Kojima is my God

[ULTIMATE_REVENGE]

Worship your god, even if he told you to kill your parents you would do it, that's how daft you idiots are.

Sony fanboys are worse than Apple, Nintendo & Microsoft fanboys combined.

[labaronx]

people who constantly complain about them.....

maybe you should just "ignore them" you do have that option

[FACTUAL evidence]

@ULTIMATE_REVENGE

You know what's worse than Sony fanboys? People bitching about them.

[PS3BURN]

You know what's even worse? People bitching about people who are bitching about Sony fanboys.

[karl]

@plasbips... and what would that say of u? xDD

[Ingram]

I remember in 2007 when you lot were not so insecure and defensive about your product.Now you only come out and play to insult PS3 users directly.
You're so, so sore.

Try and get the other console eventually, LOTS of people here did it these last 3 years, and they have not become zombies, or gays, or communists or whatever you're afraid of.

[lee_ten]

are you sad? here, let me offer a tissue.

[maverick40]

hey ultimate revenge, your manpon is sticking out,put some more cotton up and STFU. The insecurity coming out of your mouth is hilarious.

[MysticStrummer]

From your post above, you seem to think that using the SPUs to handle extra calculations... like they were designed to do, by the way... is a bad and stupid thing for devs to do. Who is daft? Come on now, man.

[Claudinho69]

videogame god

[Primal Rex]

At least its a story you can understand and which makes sence

[labaronx]

what part of metal gear didnt you understand

privatize military....real

war economy......real

advance aging from cloning.....real

not attacking you just curious as to what you didnt get

[JonnyBigBoss]

The first game wasn't very good. I loved the environments, and scouting was fun, but I found it monotonous.

[kasra1986]

Crysis is one of the greatest games on

[SirKenneth89]

He is very right about this, Crysis has a craptastic story. Nothing to get excited about. Almost none games have a story like those in the MGS games. When you compare the stories in many FPS games to those in the MGS games, you realize that the story in the FPS's are really bad.

[OllieBoy]

Crysis bores the crap out of me.

Just Cause 2, now that's a ridiculous game.

[josephayal]

He's right, C2 overrated!!

[Killzone3___]

i never care about a story in a shooter game , i only care about the gameplay and the online , anyway , i like kojima but i have to try it by my self , gonna download the demo and if i didn't like it i won't buy the full game and gonna buy need for speed shift 2 and dragon age 2...

[xtremegamerage]

Crysis was ok story, no better or worse the other fps.

Most of the time, it's some sort of war, objective, a bad man causing the problems, you'll meet at the end, blah blah.

kojima - Your installs were a fking joke dude, learn how to stream, MGS4 wasn't exactly texture heavy was it. But your story was nicely done.

U2 story isn't exactly deep either,lol. But it's fun to watch.

I don't need a game to tell me the politics of the world. Enough sex,lies,videotape every day. Most of it is worthless pushed by the media. But most sheep trust the media.Fly me to the moon, or not.

Crysis is great to look at, has some nice parts, but feels like a tech demo at times.

Depends how deep you really want A GAME.

[SweetIvy]

Totally agree.
Sometime, someone, write the right things.
Nice.

[BenEViolent]

I could call MGSs story ridiculous and cliched, too.

[devilhunterx]

you could, but you be wrong.

[INehalemEXI]

This^^ as for C2....why he mad...since when FPS has to have a mind melting story o0?

[zak94ma]

sorry for the next word but damn , i lost interest in Crysis after this words .

[BabyTownFrolics]

you lost interest in the game due to a mistranslation of something according to the article Kojima never said.

holy fuck

:(

[starchild]

This is so funny. We have all the PS3 fanboys flooding into this article hating on Crysis 2. It makes it so obvious that they feel threatened by Crysis 2.

[prettyboy1]

OR MAYBE NO ONE REALLY CARES ABOUT CRYSIS WHETHER IT BE 360 OR PS3 FANBOY.JESUS WHAT ROCKS DO YOU GUYS CRAWL FROM UNDER?

[BabyTownFrolics]

the entire article:

Hideo Kojima in his last interview with the magazine Dengeki PS saying that Crysis is one of the most fun games on the site and the large magazines have said that this game with anything other than no graphics!

Kojima Everyone knows that Kojima love stories and epic round about is he said:

Something called the story in Crysis does not exist and only a very clumsily copying of movies and games is big, like Metal Gear series.

Metal gear solid : Rising Metal Gear He continues his interview time talking about some Gymply game Metal gear solid: Rising hit and this game is the best issue series called Metal Gear!

my question is what the hell is the title of this post talking about, and what the hell are you folks in the comment responding to?

this quote is no where in the article:

"Crysis is a ridiculous that has a Stereotype story!" Hideo kojima has said on a interview with Dengeki Playstation magazine!

[Clarence]

He's right, but the truth is FPS are really about multiplayer. The storylines are just a added bonus, to give you a background on the characters.

[KeiserSosay4788]

Although I agree with what kojima is saying, I don't know that MGS story (after the first one on PSX) was any good. It was a great tactical espionage type story ruined with an overcomplicated soap opera background....i mean come on snake pliskin anyone?

[Roper316]

doesn't every military/space marine shooter have a generic sterotype type of a story? They do to me. If you want something different you need to play shooters like Bioshock and The Darkness to name a few.

[ATiElite]

so many ppl with comments about Crysis and i can tell by their comments that they never played the game.

Crysis had a good story, Crysis Warhead had a good story. actually when i really think about it Crysis and MGS have the almost the same dam story.

one guy gets sent in to stop terrorist
turns out the mission is a cover up
they didn't tell the hero the whole story so he finds out the truth through in game characters
you fight one guy way too many times who has the same powers as you
then you fight some huge monster in which MG Rex has the same attack pattern as the Crysis mother alien.
main character no longer trust his "handlers" but completes the mission anyway for the sake of "good vs. evil"

same dam story

[BabyTownFrolics]

this is really frustrating the shit out of me. People are commenting on things the article does not say. They are agreeing with something the article does not quote kojima as saying.

what the fuck is going on here!

[Ingram]

Despite the article describing an opinion about "Crysis" among other things, PS3 users identify themselves with MGS4 and 360 users identify themselves with C2, despite it being multiplatform, the PS3 port is inferior so it is perceived as a "360 product", like lots of inferior PS3 ports.It does not matter they're comparable, they just created a title where fundamentally "MGS is attacking Crysis", so people get in a certain mood.

Since PC only users on N4G can't positively, literally express other thing that "PC BEST VERSION", us console users are left here to take the liege and rotten in a strange purgatorium of eternal defensiveness.

I mean, we could talk about rising and all, but since there's no real info, the thing always derives the same direction.The reason for the title seem to be a try to tie-in some of the recent C2 information & polemics.And on those threads there's been an open war just recently.

[Kos-Mos]

Of course one of the biggest geniuses of gaming is right. "It`s all about them graphics and guns!
Story? What does that mean?"

[OC_MurphysLaw]

I hate translated articles ...they never seem to do the right job in conveying the proper tone and more importantly it almost never makes sense. I sat looking at that quote and article trying to make sense of it and re-read it, re-read it, re-read it...still makes no sense.

It's as if the article and quote are contradicting one another... the article makes it seem like Kojima likes Crysis, and yet the quote comes across as a total dis to the game.

I would like to think Kojima is classier than how this article portrays his comment.

[Snatcher]

Kojima sucks, he only made one good game, and that was Snatcher for the SEGA CD. I consider Splinter Cell and Thief games to be better than Metal Gear Solid games, but not the latest splinter cell game that one sucked.

[ps3bestever]

this news is false

[Bluemaster77]

Considering that this guy is supposed to professional you shouldnt slander the work of others. I dont care who he is its not allowed

[ColecoVision]

Never been a Metal Gear fan. I Stopped caring about 3rd person games a along time ago. I love first FPS because they are just that. They are more immersive because of the 1st person view... They bring the action right on top of you. This being said, I don't care for the COD series anymore either. But give me a Red Faction 1, Halo: Combat Evolved and above all, Half Life 2 which is the best at story, gameplay and length. (IMO)

I do respect Hideo for his quality aspects in game development along with his opinions. He may not care for 1st person shooters what so ever. Japanese seem to hate 1st person shooters.

[gypsygib]

Great, a google translation of a translation.

[creepjack]

The most ridiculous story teller in video games calls another game's story ridiculous? Oh boy, this is priceless. This isn't the pot calling the kettle black or anything, right?
Time to get back to reality there, Mr. Kojima.

[Pootangpie]

Kojami just mad because theres a lot of games with better storyline, better gameplay,good dialouge and cutscenes that don't drag on for 90 mins or more sorry he's all flash and no substance and I big giant douchebag to say the last thank god he had little to do with LOS

[buckley]

MGS and Crysis... Apples and Oranges.

MGS had a complex storyline but if Crysis took the same approach, there'd be a lot less action and a lot more popcorn.

And besides, if it's storyline I'm looking for, I'll go play something that Roberta Williams or Jane Jensen wrote.

[btk]

Get Hideo Kojima to do the story for KZ4

[Jdq7pr]

...but I believe Kojima. I mean, IT'S KOJIMA. MGS just rocks...all of them. Kojima knows what he's talks about, he's the MAN.

Now...MGS5....or trophies for MGS4 on ps3, NGP, or both.....pleaaaaassse!!!!

[FantasyStar]

I agree. Having played the Crysis 2 beta (leaked) already, the story is really uhh...ridiculous. He definitely hit on the right words. You'd only know if you played it yourself.

Won't stop me from getting the game, but it had to be known that Crysis 2's story is total *facepalm*

like "wow...really?" facepalm.

Besides, Kojima is GOD. (still think MGS4 and Chapter 6 of MGS:PW was total shit though cause i hate the whole "twist")

[Raoh]

I'll wait for the proper translation, every time a an interview is done in one country and translated, there is usually a ton of misquotes and bad translation errors.

[FantasyStar]

I think it's pretty clear.

He likes the gameplay, but dislikes the story. What's to misunderstand?

[Big_Dom]

If Kojima could suck himself off, he would.

[renegade]

Crysis is know because of its grfx... Story is ridiculous i take it no a surprise, i played the pc's one and to be honest i didnt like it.

[Armsgraph]

this article was poorly translated i dont understand whats trying to be said.

[phatfreddy1978]

Sorry but HK but metal gear lost its flair after Solid so don't knock it everyone is allowed one you made 8.

[byeGollum]

probably a mistranslation , twisted for their own benefit, well whoever posted this that is.. personally I couldn't bring myself to end crysis1 but I'm loving the multiplayer of crysis2 and can't get enough.. I guess im not part of the herd

[fullmetal297]

The title is misleading. He said the story was bad but the gameplay is fun.

[ReBurn]

Don't trust Google translate. It will make a fool out of you every single time.

[fullmetal297]

I enjoyed the Crysis Single-Player Campaign. Every single character are cliché mirrors of actors in movies but the transition from different environments really motivated me to keep playing.

[49erguy]

I wish I could understand the translation immediately following Kojima's quote!

[Amiroo]

i guess it is a FAKE news and even in comments people said there is not any source to prove it.
by the way if it's true , someone should say mr.kojima are your awful games have any good stories ?

[andreasx]

OMG he just says that because crytek makes better games!!! it is called being JEALOUS!!!

[49erguy]

storywise crysis is a joke compared to MGS. a bad joke.

[turgore]

stereotypical ...maybe, ridiculous. Look who's talking ?

[Shinuz]

totally agree with you

[Shinuz]

Crysis is awesome, and anybody that says otherwise is an ignorant fool that probably didn't even played and finished the game.

I played both Crysis and Warhead at max settings on Delta difficulty and let me say that it was one of the most awesome experience i had with videogames in a long time.

And i though that for an fps the story was quite good, not groundbreaking or anything but it did the job really well.

[CrimsonAng3l]

That's kojima for ya =P

[Batzi]

DAMN STRAIGHT KOJIMA!!! CRYSIS SUCKED from the beginning and not just 2!

[SuicideShaun]

Lol at all of you talking crap about the story when you have never played it.

Crysis 1 had an awesome story, along side with warhead that was the viewpoint of another squad member, it's just crazy. I honestly don't care what this guy has to say. Don't let other people speak for everyone.

[Leathersoup]

Kojima calls Crysis ridiculous... the last time I tried Metal Gear it had Death Cow Robots.... Yeah.. nothing ridiculous there.

[256bit]

if the ORSEN WELLES of video games said crysis is ridiculous then the game is rediculous.

[Acquiesc3]

Assuming he's talking about Crysis 1.. yeah, I've played it and he's pretty much spot on.

[Xander756]

Hahahahahahahahaha he's one to talk with the ridiculous storyline of Metal Gear Solid!

[x800]

Kojima should stick with hes console gaming and leave pc gaming alone cos he doesnt know what hes talking about. crysis is a grate game still love playing the first one.

[mrsatan]

I love Kojima and his games as much as the next man, but it is not like he came up with anything original for his core story. The entire core of Metal Gear is stolen from the Escape from New York series of movies. There are few games that actually have stories I would consider worthy of a book or movie level of story-telling.

[Haseo106]

Kojima is a Legend in Video Games Industry! Hands down to the man. However, Crysis may have an unbelievable story but still it's pretty good! Especially, the graphic of the game!

[Firstkn1ghT]

Not as ridiculous as MGS. MGS's story is a complete mess that makes no sense. More like an episode of Beverly Hills 90210.

[PirateThom]

The story makes sense, there's a few holes, but it makes sense. It's not really that hard to follow.

[ZBlacktt]

Odd when it is hailed as one of the all time best series in video game history. Kind makes you look silly now doesn't it? More like over your head to comprehend maybe? Think about it....

[Broncos98]

When your character crawls around in a cardboard box you might want rethink calling another game's story ridiculous.

[Syakinta]

Hmm...
Where is the interview?
Latest Dengeki PS?

[Timactionfigures]

Played the demo....realised it's yet another boring FPS that I've played a thousand times before, and will probably not be buying the game.

[MARKUS_MAX1MUS]

I like how everyone is calling out the base plot premise of the game being a "man in a suit vs aliens"

The games story hasnt even been revealed yet so how can yoiu call it rediculous? and thats coming from a guy who makes games with a man who is essentially part spider, a woman who can deflect bullets with her mind, a man who can control bees, a 100 year old sniper, not to mention women ghost like beings who move around in robotic creature suits and last but not least a vampire kept alive by nanomachines.

I respect the guy as the creator of the MGS series but not when he makes statements about rediculous stories, MGS certainly had its WTF moments.

[willjoea]

Actually, the translation on this article is so bad, he was probably commenting on the crisis in Afghanistan. If your going to attempt to translate something from one language to another, you should at least have a grasp of one of them.

[PhantomT1412]

Since when storyline is the most important thing in games? Sure, it's pretty disappointing when a game has a poor or bad storyline but if the gameplay and/or graphics themselves are good, what should be complaining about? Call of Duty 2 (not MW2) had virtually no story, and it was still a great game.

[Tigan]

NOthing is more ridiculous than the MGS franchise. Now that's a f*cked up story/movie. None of it made sense just like the ridiculous characters. Yeah it was pretty but who the hell is he to judge when his story's are just as bad or even worse.

crysis 1 is an awsome game. Just reinstalled it on my computer and im still amazed by it's graphics. I still think it hasn't been beat. No knife throwing vampires, no cyborg ninjas just a straight up story that is easier to follow than the MGS series.

[Jacobite]

Ive just installed Crysis aswell playing it 64bit this time, and messed with the game config file for some more fun. Your right this game still looks great even 3rd time round lol

[Tigan]

what sort of messing around?? I tried messing around with the config files too but couldnt get anything to work. I must be doing something wrong. Trying again tonight.

[ZBlacktt]

MGS is over your head plan and simple. Now GTFO.

[Jacobite]

Head to the difficulty files in your Crysis folder (for example: C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\Crytek\Crysis\Game\Config ). The four files you're looking for are titled diff_easy.cfg, diff_normal.cfg, diff_hard.cfg and diff_bauer.cfg. Open the file (using Notepad) of the difficulty level you are currently playing or wish to edit. Add the following line to the end of the file and save it:
g_playerHealthValue = 100.0 change to 300.0 or 400.0

Just play about with them t0 what suits you

g_playerSuitArmorModeHealthRe genTime = 0
g_playerSuitArmorModeHealthRe genTimeMoving = 0
g_playerSuitEnergyRechargeDel ay = 0
g_playerSuitEnergyRechargeTim eArmor = 0
g_playerSuitEnergyRechargeTim eArmorMoving = 0
g_playerSuitEnergyRechargeTim e = 0
g_playerSuitHealthRegenDelay = 0
g_playerSuitHealthRegenTime = 0
g_playerSuitHealthRegenTimeMo ving = 0
g_suitArmorHealthValue = 400.0
g_suitCloakEnergyDrainAdjuste r = 0
g_suitRecoilEnergyCost = 0
g_suitSpeedEnergyConsumption = 0
g_suitSpeedMult = 2
After making all of your edits, save the file, load up a new game and see what you've edited!hope this helps.

[Tyre]

this translation is so wrong...anybody can see that if he really said clumbsy he meant his own game aswell...he clearly has said something like the story is movie-like and he sees parallelisms with his own storys based on movies...he meant the opposite..he loves the game...the Crysis story has been written by a renowned SF writer...Crytek focused more on the story for Crysis 2...maybe Kojima meant Crysis 1 and compares it to his 1st stories and just digs the Story of Crysis 2 compared to the Story of Crysis 1...he never dissed other developers before...it is not his style...this is just a retard who translated the interview and now some troller posted it here.....people who read these articles usually only click on the 1st 3 comments for disagree/agree they are just to lazy to agree/disagree on all the comments...it looks ridiculous that only the 1st comment has 76 agrees or whatever and rest just 2.

[Chaos23]

but the greatest game this gen is MGS4 SO................. LOOK AT THE REVIEWS after mgs4 its gow3 the uncharted

[Chaos23]

k but crysis is a OK game hey crysis fanboys stop taking hits against mgs cause u guys luv mgs

[ZBlacktt]
