Crysis 2 gets infected with story trailer

Crytek’s just released a plot-based Crysis 2 trailer showing off the game’s backstory. It’s after the break.

Crysis 2 releases on March 22 in the US and March 25 in the UK for PC, 360 and PS3.

Fucking amazing. Story is written by Richard Morgan .

Graphics and gameplay is going to be amazing because it’s CRYTEK and they know what they are doing since Far Cry 1.

After playing a bit of singleplayer campaign on my PC i can tell that this game will be amazing while shitty Killzone, CoD, Battlefield, Resistance 3 sup bar campaigns will be forgotten and left in the dust and no one will care.

Also, just by playing old build of direct X9. Game on consoles looks like a CRAP version with Direct X 9 on top of it. With “Gamer” settings. (Lowest ever possible)
Someone on Neogaf tells that it’s not even 720p on 360 by showing just a multiplayer screenshot… Wow… =\ sup-bar HD incoming. Just shows the age of consoles and that we need new one, because i will play it with 1080p, Direct X 11, 39-60 FPS.

@Erth, you got to play some of the single-player campaign on Crysis 2?

Please explain how this was possible.

@2: I think it’s impossible for you to even say one positive thing about something without insulting something else. Fucking stupid child.

@3: BETA.

@4: Yeah, his mom payed a lot.

@StolenGlory If you didn’t know, an early developer build was released on Torrent sites. The full story here: http://www.vg247.com/2011/02/11/report-crysis-2-build-leaked-onto-torrent-sites/

On topic, it looks very nice, but so maannny FPS out in the market already, I honestly wish and hope that Battlefield 3 will take it all down [no offense, but we need more variety in games].

I suspect StolenGlory was being facetious: the question was ribbing Erthazus over his pirating of the leak, not a genuine inquiry.

I’m definitely interested in this but I’m still waiting to see the PS3 version. It’s very conspicuous by its absence, but as my PC needs an upgrade and my 360 is being even noisier than usual Sony’s platform would be my hardware of choice, all things being equal.

Major Leak from Crytek. I’m going to buy this game 100% anyway because it’s an early piece of crap build with only Direct X9 and with lags.

I heard about the leak – I just didn’t think that the VG247 folks would be contributing to the download figures for a pirated piece of software (whether you intend to buy it later or not) which will likely result in Crysis 3 being console only:

Am disappoint.

@StolenGlory, relax, i for example downloaded it for only one reason: To check my machine and on what fps can it run. So i could know by the launch date if everything was fine and if i need some upgrade.

Also, Xbox 360 have a beta and PC gamers that wanted this most of all didn’t get anything. Even a PC trailer.

Also, the build is a bit broken. So i don’t know who had the balls to complete it when a lot of stuff screwed. If you don’t know, shitty Half-Life 2 build was leaked almost by a year before the release.

and Crysis 3 will not be a console only, NEVER because for CRYTEK PC is very important platform and to be honest, that build does not look like a leak, more like a PR stunt from Crytek.

Killzone 3 is awesome for a console game, Crysis 2 PC rapes Killzone 3, so please stop comparing those two.

Killzone 3 looks tons better compared to the console versions of Crysis2 (what we have seen so far of both games) but it wont be better looking than Crysis2 on PC, it just wont.

@21 It doesnt rape anything. People need to stop praising Crysis like it is a God like game. Even its graphics are not that far ahead. It still looks very unrealistic and cartoon like just like the rest of the games out. Yes its got some cool shiney new features and effects but its not “Miles (kilometers? lol)” ahead of the best console graphics or other top PC game graphics. It is indeed ahead, by a lot, by not enough to say it Rapes anything.

Right right, big city gets infected with horrible virus, while aliens attack it, and a singular supersoldier is all that stands between victory and the extinction of the human race.

That’s certainly groundbreaking storytelling right there.

The game itself is looking really good though.

I think this video is a lot more interesting:

I do remember watching the videos for the original Crysis and thinking “Holy shit!” only to find out that pulling those movies in the finished game meant navigating a bunch of menus which meant that I couldn’t be arsed to fuck with it.

But i .. i.. i.. think it was just a BAD screenshot XD

But to be fair if that screenshot is really a 360 version then Killzone 3 looks much better (or some multi FPS games). I’m serious, because i don’t understand how this bland shit can be there.

Fucking awesome trailer.

And to all the little kids who feel the need to have to talk shit about this game or another game in relation to this………grow the fuck up man…unless you really ARE in junior high as you act.

@Erth
I knew you were bluffing. Thats why i didnt reply to you yet.

Besides, Killzone 3 is THEE best looking FPS on consoles. KZ2 looked great and all but Killzone 3 blows it away and thats coming from only seeing the BETA. If the Beta looks that much better than KZ2 then expect the finaly build to be stunning.

@32
Yeah, the game will be good on PC. After playing the 360 beta, ill pass on the console version for sure.
