Leaked Crysis 3 Screen Shot Reveals Setting and Enemies, Crysis 2 Double XP Weekend Ends Monday

MP1st - Only a few days ago, the boxart for Crytek’s upcoming AAA shooter sequel, Crysis 3, was leaked to the public. Today, we catch an even better glimpse at the protagonist, the setting and the enemies that players will be facing in this direct sequel to 2011′s Crysis 2.

Hope crysis 3's multiplayer runs better at a higher resolution on ps3 this time around.

[TekoIie]

I hope its multiplayer isnt a wannabe COD... Devs need to get it into their heads that copying COD doesnt make their game better. It just makes me less willing to play it for 2 reasons:

1: If i wanted to play COD i would go and buy it.
2: COD isnt the best game to copy for 1 simple reason. What works in COD doesnt seem to work in other games like UAV and gunship in Crysis 2.

[Ashunderfire86]

Dude I agree with you 100 percent, Crysis 2 is a mix of Call of Duty and Halo together(Still got an good online community from the PC version). Still like Crysis 2, especially when they finally fix the enemy A.I.!!! And part 1 was better. Crysis 3 day one for me on PC, just hope they do something different with the campaign and the multiplayer. Lets hope they don't copy Call of Duty and Halo. Also I don't want to hear that Crytek developer dissing out other games, claiming that Crysis 2 is better than those other shooters when its a carbon copy of them. That guy has a lot to make up for this!!!! Cause Crysis 2 was buggy at launch, and it took them long to put DirectX 11, and improving A.i.

[StraightPath]

Lets all hope Crysis 3 is more like Crysis 1...Crysis 2 was a huge dissapointment for me. Felt like a downgrade from the original game. Since it is again in new york..i really hope it is not linear like Crysis 2 this time...

[Tyre]

@StraightPath Of course it is...it will be a mixture of jungle and city environments...totally openworld sandbox(vertically/horizontal) .
More possibilities/better climbing/sneaking.
It will be and correction of the errors made in Crysis 2 and an improvement on the better things from Crysis 2/Crysis 1. Expect Non-linear story and roaming.

[Mister_V]

I hope so man...

[ps360s]

I think they rushed out No.2 for the consoles.

Anyways here's hoping this will give me memories liek the first 1.

The first 1 was good but not enough people get to experience it fully.

[Kahvipannu]

I might add I hope they will this time put effort to get the PC-version as it should be AT LAUNCH.

It's ok if they want to port for consoles, good, more gamers can enjoy the game, but not at the expense of the PC-version, where Crysis shines...

[Tyre]

@Kahvipannu They will. Crytek is not stupid.

[Kahvipannu]

Yeah, I'm not saying they are stupid, but seeing how they dealed with C2 and PC-port, yes, PC port, I believe when I see it. Lot's of devs who made theyr ground on PC have fallen in this nonsense, like Epic..

I sure do hope they will deliver, for the sake of themselves, and the PC-players.

[KingOptimus101]

I knew they were going to leak a screenshot the day before.

[KingOptimus101]

Really disagrees because I said "I knew they were going to leak a screenshot the day before." Really

[ChocalateDog203]

Is anyone else disappointed it's set in New York again? I was kind of hoping for another setting but oh well, the game will prolly still be damn fun.

[ginsunuva]

Yeah, I mean at the end of C2 it showed [SPOILERS] the planet getting owned by aliens all over in every country. And we just saved New York.

So why the hell are we just stuck in New York again? Reusing assets Crytek?

[brettyd]

NYC is a very boring setting IMO.

[jaymart2k]

Agree, how many times already times has a game been set in New York?

Anyone?

[Mrmagnumman357]

Definitely agree, their are other cities! What about London, its a great looking city, and has the 5th highest GDP in the world. Or maybe Chicago which has the 4th highest GDP, and has one of the top 3 skylines in the world. These are both world class mega cities that are in the top 5 most powerful cities in the world. I would mention Tokyo and Hong Kong, but it seems like Crytek is trying to keep the setting in America or close to America

[HeavenlySnipes]

On the other hand, they have all the assets from Crysis 2, so now they can create a larger more open environments this time around

[MrBeatdown]

That's what I'm thinking. I think they are doing NYC again because they think their is more they can do with it. They were able to do open environments on PS3 and 360 since they managed to port Crysis 1, so I'd be surprised if they didn't try for a middle ground of sorts between 1 and 2.

[Mister_V]

They did a good job of creating a varied NYC setting in Crysis 2 but I think we've definitely had enough of NYC in games in general. I'd love if maybe a third of it was set in the city, just to see the aftermath of Crysis 2, then the other parts set somewhere more lush. Maybe even more snow levels'd be cool. Also, I think more forested and mountainous areas is something we haven't really seen in a Crysis game yet. Something like Skyrim perhaps?

[tachy0n]

CRYENGINE 4???

[torchic]

ZOMGGG FOR REALZ???

BEST ENGINE EVAR!!

[tachy0n]

isn't it pathetic that i got disagrees just for saying cryengine 4?

[PS4OUR]

I imagine bigger setpieces and a bigger sense of scale of the battle. Though a global war in locations like London, Paris and even the great pyramids of Giza for the final battle that leaves the ancient wonders of egypt in total ruin would be awesome. Kinda like that transformers scene but on steroids filled with the world armies against the biggest and baddest aliens.

[Kahvipannu]

Kinda hurts me to say this, but I really doubt anything like this will be in it, since they will make the game with console limitations.. :/

If just a PC game, they could go and do the same as they did with Crysis 1, stretch the PC-platform..

[SilentNegotiator]

"If just a PC game, they could go and do the same as they did with Crysis 1"

.....port it? Because Crysis 1 is ON consoles, you know. And the console versions turned out pretty decently.

You could blubber about the nanosuit change, but that's Crytech's fault for not using controls creatively to fit the original content, not consoles' fault.

[Kahvipannu]

I'm not talking about gameplay decisions, but technical aspects. Crysis two was pretty good game imo, I had no problems with nanosuit changes. Crysis one is now on consoles, yes, but it's an old PC-game, and it's 2012. Crysis could go crazy and stretch the hardware with C3, and by that I mean PC-hardware. Now they have to work with limitation of console, that just limits what there can be onscreen, and how much there can be stuff at time in the game, so that won't happen.

[XboxInnovation]

People care about this overrated franchise? Another EA FPS dud on the way!

[Muffins1223]

I SWEAR IF THIS IS NOT A SAND-BOX I WILL EXPLODE!

[turgore]

A huge MEH.
still doens't look as nice as this crysis 1 picture http://www.slymf.com/forum/...

[Unbornkirkster19]

image looks really distorted..

[Kingdom Come]

If this is Sand-Box, and if that screen is in game. Holy. S*#%!

[TheMailman]

Welcome to the milky way.. Theyr just in for some more money.. Reutilising the assets from Crysis 1&2... Oh poor gamers that take it all and thanks in the end..

[Kingdom Come]

Funny, the second main instalment was entirely different from it's predecessor, countering your statement of milking, as that would require a complete lack of change. Also, what sequel doesn't use assets from it's predecessors? Gameplay mechanics always return, there are additions and improvements, that's a sequel. A sequel without assets of it's predecessor would have lost that franchises essence.

If you're implying that Crysis is anything like the recycling of the Call of Duty franchise (of which has literally been discovered to have copied and pasted buildings from it's four year old predecessor) you have no knowledge of gaming...

[Killman]

I played the 360 version of Crysis 2 (Got it for $10!) and I was really impressed with it. The graphics were great and the single player had great length. The multiplayer was average for me, it just felt too much like COD with a nano suit. I am interested in this, as long as it doesn't spark off a f***ing fanboy "Oo look at the pretty graphics!" war.

[chukamachine]

Played Crysis 2 Mp on both ps3 and pc.

Was never that good, but was not bad either.

I'm more surprised they have gone with newyork again if it's true.

[m2stech]

So basically this is Crysis 2 with vegetation on buildings!

[FarCryLover182]

What if Crysis 3 only starts out in New York?? Then you leave to go somewhere else? Like back to the jungle!?

[DeadSpaced]

I believe the current theory is there was a major disaster in NYC. Now, buildings have been partially destroyed and vegetation has grown. I think they're they're trying to combine the first two games. It's just taking the bests of both worlds.

[DeadSpaced]

That was.. so beautiful. *dramatic tear rolls down face.*

[ndl1531]

crysis 2 was amazing for me and thats coming from a guy who played it on ps3 i bought the psn version of crysis 1 and sadly while the graphics are pretty good the story and pacing is BORING . just gave up on crysis 1 . what a difference crysis 2 was i really loved it . looking forward to crysis 3 .

[mochachino]

I really liked Crysis 2s MP despite the bugs but the community died so quickly because they never fixed even the most basic problems.

[colugothelegend]

Can't wait.

Had a blast with Crysis on PSN, loved Crysis 2
I just hope it's more like part 1 in level design

[-Gespenst-]

Kind of hoped this would be a next gen game. It better at least support 1080 on consoles.

[GamingPerson]

They should just make it mainly for the console crowd & just finish destroying the series.. I will move on.

[IAmLee]

hopefully it won't be anything like CoD.
