Crysis screenshots and video

by Matt on June 20th, 2006

Crysis-Online posted a few new screenshots from the upcoming “photo-realistic” shooter. They look mighty damn good (as if they wouldn’t) and Game Guru the pop-up happy site has a 114mb trailer for your occular pleasure.

The excitement around this game is amazing. It could be the worst shooter ever and people would play it for the drool factor alone. Watching the guy play through was excellent. Game is so gorgeous. The blur effects, the volumetric lighting, the FOLIAGE, oh my, and the soft shadows. Left nut worthy. Unfortunately, for the trailer it downloads at some awful slow speed, and then you have to listen to the Art Director blabber on in the background

“Look the physics are so amazing, when I shoot this guy he falls downs”

“my gun has different bullets.”

“if you use the strength mode you can go around punching everything and everyone, though I am so inept at it that I miss 3/4 of the time and it looks really lame”

“look at me! I’m punching a house! but it only works if I actually punch it. See if I punch the air it does nothing. But I will continue to punch the air to show how ineffective a tactic it is.”

“our game has trees”

“OMG ALIENS!!”

14 minutes. Just..mute it.

    […] As some of you know, videos of multiplayer for Crysis have come out. I was highly anxious to see the game being put through the multiplayer paces. Sadly this is not what we get. Upon watching the videos you see what must be this guy all over again. They need to stop letting him play. I understand it’s nifty to toy with the power-up features and to get a feel for them, but for the love of all things Holy, STOP punching things!. To the best of my knowledge Crysis isn’t a Boxing sim. Get your f’scking gun and go shoot your enemies. The guy can’t even do that. He meanders his way to where some “action” might be, actually gets the drop on someone and then doesn’t do anything. He just stands there like he wasn’t sure what to do with the gun. I half expected him to go and try to punch the enemy. […]
