Crysis 3 Dev: We’re ‘avoiding the stuff that didn’t work’

360 Magazine: Crysis 3 is already impressing gamers with it’s stunning visuals, but we talk to Crytek’s Rasmus Højengaard, to ask how it’s taking Crysis to the next level.

...........So your not making Crysis 3 cause nothing worked in Crysis 2!

How about you just go back to the drawing board and act like you never made the CryEngine 3 or Crysis 2 and start over at the ending of Crysis Warhead on a more efficient CryEngine 2!!

[h311rais3r]

I agree 100%. Crysis 2 was no sequel. It had NOTHING to do with crysis 1 but had prophet...I still haven't beaten it yet! It's just so boring.

[Tachyon_Nova]

A more efficient CE2? So maybe something like CE3 then?

[Mrmagnumman357]

Exactly, CE3 is so much better then CE2, Crysis 2 barely showed what CE3 can do. By the way, im a modder for CE3, so I can say this!

People quick to knock cryengine 3 i for one see the potential i think it is good do i think its better... Yes i do just yesturday i played crysis first one got onto the beach i found myself for the past 5min looking at this turtle thinking bloody hell this is amazing way ahead of its time.
The shell just poped even the old washing machine washed up had nobs buttons that actually 3D not drawn on.
So i thinking back to crysis 2 sure the game felt very differnt in certain aspect i do prefer crysis to crysis 2 but there engine has everything crysis had but more.
And if some of you have seen some of the mods of cry engine 3 youll see the potential it has.

Just ask Mrmagnumman357 ask for some links to his modding skills, crytek hasnt utilized there engine to the max yet they dont need to yet just give crysis 3 a chance.

NO!!! CryEngine 3 in Crysis 2 was GARBAGE!!

Whether Crytek dumbed down Crysis 2 cause of consoles of whatever, who knows but I was not happy with the DX11 Crysis 2!

Crysis on Enthusiast level had Photo-realistic graphics. Crysis 2 was a HUGE step BACKWARDS from that!

Crytek went the cartoony graphics route instead of further pushing Photo-realism plus teh game sucked, the story was stupid, and no sandbox gameplay!

[Disccordia]

Cartoony graphics?

[Gamer-Z]

Crysis fans want open world, not kinda open.

[kaveti6616]

Crysis fans are on PC, and have created open environments.

I don't think any fans of Crysis resort to playing on consoles unless something terrible has happened to their computers.

Things that didn't work - When you are out of energy, you can't run, at all... What kind of dumbass comes up with such idea?

Anyways after Crysis 2, I gonna read the reviews and watch a lot of gameplay footage first, because I know they can be saying one thing, but god knows if they know what actually needs to be fixed in that game.

[kaveti6616]

"When you are out of energy, you can't run, at all... What kind of dumbass comes up with such idea?"

Reality is a b*tch, huh?

[Fylus]

If I'm running, and I eventually run out of energy, I'll take a 5 second breather and continue running.

[Vladplaya]

Right, because Marines in real life do 3 mile run for their physical fitness test. Yet the guy with power suit somehow completely looses his ability to run once his suit is out of energy, the energy that has nothing to do with "normal" abilities of his body

Nothing real about it, just very shallow game design decision, that was put in there by someone who couldn't come up with more clever solution.

[kaveti6616]

Are you criticizing the mechanic because it doesn't make sense in the context of the story or because it's simply annoying as a game mechanic?

Because if it's the former, there are a million other story points to criticize for being illogical. The fact that you'd run out of energy and have to stop is arguably an obstacle that forces the player to pay attention and use strategy.

It sounds like you guys just want a game where you're invincible. It's mindless.

[DigitalAnalog]

I think what Vladplaya is trying to say is that the sprinting shares the same nano-suit energy as the other functions.

While the energy is used by the maximum speed perk on Crysis 1, it makes no sense that it could deplete the nano-suit energy faster than the cloaking and armor perk. For a high-tech device, this is a pretty big flaw in that design, if anything, you should be able to run more effeciently than a professional runner without taking a breather.

[Vladplaya]

Thank you! Good to see at least someone with common sense around here.

[ninjahunter]

Individual speed mode please. You power strint slower now that speed mode at stock in crysis 1, and it actually requires energy to go faster than walk. annoying.

[Dugstar]

Building and programming Netcode that works this time as lets face it Multiplayer will be scrutinized in Crysis 3 and if anything that annoyed me about Crysis 2 was the fact that online was dire and could have been much better had things worked properly.

[Pandamobile]

Go back to the Crysis energy system. At least on the PC, PLEASE.

Using the suits advantages was so much more intuitive in Crysis than Crysis 2.

[Tapioca Cold]

What didn't work was that the suit wasn't badass!!

I never got the feeling that I was kicking ass! The suit didn't feel powerful and always needed recharging etc.

I want badass like Kratos or Marcus Phoenix.

Same as Halo. Always running away and shooting rather than coming to bad guy parties and ruining them.

You need to amke the suit BADASS!!

When people see me arrive they sigh in relief not sigh out of failure.

[bloodcell]

So they won't be having multiplayer I guess. Lol

[NYC_Gamer]

Crysis 2 was just awful and really don't expect much from part 3...
