I was looking for pop in and didn't see any. It's at least improved from Crysis 2 in that regard. IQ should be better as well. It's using a better AA method and there won't be any ghosting.

Gat damnit EA, I won't be buying the 360 version until I see some footage and you keep taking it all down.

Uh, this looks pretty good. I hope YT's compression isn't deceiving me.

Shit, I feel like I'm getting back on the train. Only 3 hours and halfway through? Crysis 2 was long and good.Have finished first 4 missions, pretty damn fun. Sexy graphics (even on 360) and rad gunplay.
Normal seems like a cakewalk and story is nonsense but otherwise.. Fun! (50% done, 3 hours in btw). Played 3 hours of multi too. Really good, 100 times better framerate than the beta. A lot of shotgun/cloakers though.
All around, good buy.
Might try to scrounge some gift cards or credit to get this. I want some sexy graphics on my 360.
The cutscene in the second half of that video looks incredible.
Voice acting's really good, too.

Damn, have to wait till the 21st to play this thing. Another issue is that the Sony conference is on the same day, 21st Feb 10.00am AEST. So I will have to rush out and buy it then watch the ps4 announcement. I will probably have it installing in the background.

I liked 2 better. C3 is fun but it's more of an expansion than anything considering how short SP is.
Ugh, I was hoping that wasn't the case.
Not sure if I should keep my preorder.
Is the SP as short as Warhead?

5 hours.

Game looks amazing on 360, shameful about the length though.

How many levels has the game? But damn 5 hours is short. Crysis 2 was a 10-15 hour game. Did you rush?
Is the level design more open than C2?
Did the performance meet your expectations on console?

Redbox it is then.

Man that's a boring looking level both gameplay wise and aesthetically.
Just thought the same thing.

This looks way more pleasing aestethically than the garbage shown in the trailers and mp maps.
Looks pretty good graphically too. (really shows that the mp is done by a different developer...)
AAAAnd this looks like garbage again.
Why does every outdoor level look so unappealing.
I had to watch both muted though, the voice acting writing and hoorah 'mericuh dudebro bald marine crap make me want to gouge my eardrums, that british accent bald marine is even more annoying.

How's the framerate for the console versions? Crysis 2 ran terrible imo, hopefully the new one is more stable,
It's a complete joke.
Hope people don't support this sort of practice. 5 hours is an expansion pack. That's what Warhead was, and back then Crytek had the proper sense to charge 30.
Obviously, they think they can get away with selling an expansion pack for full price.
I usually think you're overly critical of things, but I totally agree here. I was actually looking forward to this game but the length has absolutely killed any excitement I had. Paying $60 for a 5 hour campaign and an alright multiplayer? I'll pass.
I wish they'd just cut out their nonsensical complex story and go with something basic like the original Crysis games. After watching the videos it seems like they spent too much time creating mini-cinematics and not enough time building new levels.
Cimenatics are expensive as hell. If they're going to add some occasionally to drive the story (like Crysis did), that's fine, but they shouldn't sacrifice game length in an attempt to create an 'experience'.
I also dislike padding in games. That's not really the issue here though.
Both Crysis 1 and 2 had a 15 hour campaign, or a few hours less if you played on a lower difficulty. They were also excellent the whole way through. Crytek is capable of making a long campaign that plays well. It's just in this case they obviously don't want to.
My first playthrough of C2 on Veteran took me a little over 10 hours and it had some sections where I thought "yeah they could have cut this out and it still would have been a great shooter".
I even got most collectibles in that playthrough. C1 was longer yeah but that was due to the nature of the semi open-world approach with the levels.

Better than expected. MUCH better than expected.

My 360 is going to be so confused, going from Aliens: Colonial Marines to this.

How's the framerate on PS3?
Fuckin wall hacks? Spotting through the wall? Blaaahh
That better be easy mode. All of the handholding in this video is very off-putting. They even outline where ammo is....
Jesus Crysis...ever heard of the word exploration?
Wasn't there also something like this in Crysis 2? The nano vision or some shit like that. I wouldn't know, I've never used it.
I dont know either. I couldnt make it all the way through that shitty game.
This looks to be more of the same rather than the promised "more like crysis 1" they like
to spew out just to get idiots like me, who believes them, interested again....only for us to see gameplay
footages like these.
It's still a boring corridor shooter but with a few more corridors to
corridor in.
Well, I'm turning the HUD off, so none of that will be a factor.
