Developers need to stop saying they’re pushing the 360 and ps3 to their limits. Seriously, it’s pretty much a given now adays.
If they didn’t, that would just be sad
This is good news. It seems like they’ve heard the cries of Crysis 1 fans after all.
I’m curious why they’re calling it a spiritual successor to Crysis 1, when it’s in the same series.
I know why they do that when they create a new series, but why when it’s in the same series?
I need to play C1 all the way through, I’ve done the first hour or so, but haven’t played it in a while. Anyone able to recommend some good graphical mods for it? 
Well, considering the amount of things C2 had to do with C1, it might as well be a new series.
I think the big reason they are calling it a spiritual successor because of the gameplay (edit: and graphics, of course). They are responding to the two problems with Crysis 2: really linear levels and a PC version which was (although the DX11 and High-res texture update helped to resolve it) as limited as the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions. Not that those had bad graphics, but Crysis 2 (until those updates, you might say) didn’t push the graphical limits for the PC like the original.
As for Crysis, if you haven’t finished the game yet…
I’ve installed something called Natural Mod for improving the lighting. I’ve also downloaded some nice high-resolution nanosuit textures. I’d also recommend the Reygel Texture Mod. It’s over 2GB of high resolution textures.
I found the nanosuit textures and high-res texture packs here: https://www.overclock.net/t/1014933/a-guide-to-crysis-mods-56k-warning Natural mod can be found here: https://www.crydev.net/viewtopic.php?t=14195
At least download the nanosuit textures- the default textures aren’t mapped very well and the new ones make it look stunning.
There’s lots of stuff out there for Crysis.
Downloading, thanks for sharing.
Where do I drop the .pak files? \Crysis\Game?
Yes.
Also, if you’ve tried out the sandbox editor, try this:

It’s the DeLorean time machine mod for Crysis. And yes, pressing T to turn on the time circuits, and then accelerating to 88 MPH will make the Delorean jump through time! (different time of the day, but cool enough) When you emerge into a different time the DeLorean is all cold and icy, just like in the first movie. There’s instructions in the RTF file. Just be careful not to save levels after you mess around with them. If you’re not comfortable jumping into the sandbox, there are still videos of the mod on YouTube that are pretty cool.
I’m sure I’ll get around to sandboxing it up at some point, but I have not yet.
so… I got nothing from that. There’s no indicator that they’ve made a better shooter than Crysis 2, or even a good shooter.
Some stuff seems recycled from C2 and looks rather boring than my not-so low expectation
This makes me somewhat wanting to look forward to the next CoD game announcement on May 1
Let’s see how it turns out in one year.
Won’t be much different to MW3 I guess.
It’s a year away from release and was leaked early. Maybe this was going to be the teaser trailer.
Indeed, as far as we can tell it’s just like Crysis 2, but I think more information is needed. If they don’t show its an open game like Crysis then I won’t be buying it, unless reviews change my mind.
What you need to understand is that New York is the ONLY CITY IN THE ENTIRE WORLD.
That’s right; As far as the ‘creative’ devs are concerned where you are living right now is a worthless shit hole…unless you happen to live in NYC.
Rome, Barcelona, London, Paris, all have some amazing architecture, but who gives a fuck when we can play 800 games which contain a variant of NY?
NEW YORK NEW YORK NEW YORK NEW YORK!!!
But yeah, I’m sick of NY/LA archetypes.
Valve were a crazy bunch of guys when they decided to use a undisclosed Eastern European city and look what happened to them…they only ended up making a fucking sexy game.
Hellgate:London doesn’t count because it was shit and the crap they spewed out as maps could have been any city with burnt out red buses.
Personally I would like to see Spain or maybe some Asian cities visited.
I hear ME3 ends in London and it’s pretty good, but I haven’t seen it for myself. Hats off for not using NYC.
They wanted to make a new announcement in this month anyway. The leak didn’t change anything.
You can read a preview here, it’s giving new information on story, gameplay and so on.
New screens:
I gotta say, I like the new poses they’re coming up with. You can do a lot more cool looking shit with a bow than a rifle.
I wanna play a game set in fucking Dubai. There’s ONE game coming out based there, and it’s a destroyed Dubai buried in sand. Come on.
Vice City was awesome and took place in Miami.
You know, I was expecting at least some difference in the gameplay that would make it look like it’s not Crysis 2.
That gameplay trailer just showed me crysis 2 with new weapons, an uppercut animation, and a custom level.
From comments when FPS games keep coming out, I have come to the conclusion that the field of view gets lower and lower between games. It’s just a matter of time before you can only concentrate on one pixel at a time.
