Crytek releases Crysis 3 single-player interactive demo

1080P HD?Nice .Anyways,took the stealth route first and it was somewhat satisfying,liked:graphics(I mean was there any doubt that it will look good),gunplay,the bow and the fact that there was a sense of improvisation in the mission’s structure.However,didn’t like the enemy AI(one of the things that were atrocious in the second one)and the new hacking ability seems to work way too easy.

I can even say I am impressed. I didn’t have high hopes for 3, but this video looks interesting. If all levels have at least this amount of space, I will be happy. We will never get the same amount of options as in the original Crysis, but as a whole 2 was a nice shooter, even though nothing as groundbreaking as the original.

I wish they’d put Crysis to bed. For all their engineering splendor, Crytek just aren’t very good at stories and settings.

They’re somewhere in between Half-Life 2 and Call of Duty with few of the things that make either one great.

Crysis 2 was better than I expected, but I wish they’d hire some real artists and start over.

They really should just stay with making an engine then give the engine to developers that can actually do something with it because all Crytek does is make fluffed up tech demos.

I think it’s excellent. Pc version FTW.

but setting overall is not really that great. First Crysis is still the best one and had much more options.

Far Cry 3 looks much more interesting and it’s made on Cryengine 3.

@5 Far Cry 3 is built on Dunia Engine 2.

@5

Uh no it isn’t. Its the same engine that was used for Farcry 2 and 1 which is based on cryengine 1 but they call it Dunia.

@6,7, yeah you are right. I remember checking wiki and it was Cryengine 3 but now it’s Dunia engine

@8

When the game was announced Ubisoft said its the same engine as the second farcry only updated for a better pipeline.

Interesting, I’d have called those playstyles “Going Loud” and “Like a Dumbass”.

Not seeing the fuss. It’s just another shooter with some pretty graphics.

I like Crysis series because it’s not a typical FPS war clone.

This looks great. Love the 1080p option as well

I too like the Crysis series although I have mixed feelings towards the second instalment.

What the third game needs to do:

- More frequent checkpoints or even better, quicksave. There is nothing more discouraging than spending 10-15 stealth-playing only to be discovered by the last guy and die by his hands. I even go as far as not playing stealth in some sections in the second game because stealth takes longer than “going loud”.
- A proper PC version from the get-go. Obviously you’ve re-discovered what PC gamers want in a game, Crytek, so make sure to add that stuff in from the beginning. The ability to change FOV and motion blur are some of my most important PC functions. You have to change the FOV from the console. Seriously, how hard is it to implement that?

Aside from that, C3 looks really good. I don’t think it’s my most anticipated game in 2013, but it’s probably one I will have definite fun with.

I like most FPS. Call of Duty provides some good action in its single-campaigns, KillZone 2 and 3 were pretty awesome in what you got to do and of course, fucking awesome graphics. Then there is Bioshock with its great artistic sense and gameplay.

And of course, Crysis which just nailed the feeling of being a predator.

@11, just out of interest, what does a shooter have to do to rank higher than “just another shooter” if a customisable suit of armour with abilities that provide the player with a plethora of options not possible in typical gun in hand shooters, plus on-the-fly weapons customisation which allows the player to quickly adapt to the situation or twist the situation in their favour, doesn’t cut it?

Crysis 2 could have been better, but for a linear shooter it certainly provided an experience which was hardly “just another shooter”.

#13 Face, meet palm.

@13, Yeah, Crysis 3 really need Quicksave this time.

first game had it and it was great.

@6,7,8 & 9:

Let me teach you all something here.

Far Cry 1 = Cryengine 1

built by crytek and the game was published by Ubisoft

Far Cry 2 = Dunia Engine

built in house by Ubisoft Montreal studios and published by Ubisoft

Far Cry 3 will use the same engine just slightly updated it will NOT be Dunia engine 2.

Crysis 1 (PC) = Cryengine 2

Built by Crytek and published by EA who now own majority share in Crytek

Crysis Warhead = Cryengine 2 (slightly updated)

Updated to improve performance for most PC machines with better flexibility than Crysis 1.

Crysis (Console re-release) = Cryengine 3

The game was ported over to Cryengine 3 which was built from the ground up using Cryengine 2 as a framework this time with console hardware in mind.

Crysis 2 = Cryengine 3

Crysis 3 = Cryengine 3

Maybe slightly updated from what was used in Crysis 2 to improve stabilty and performance nothing major.

Lessons learnt… DUNIA engine and Cryengine have NOTHING to do with each other. DUNIA engine was built from scratch by Ubisoft, and is coded completely differently to Cryengine which is solely owned by Crytek as it is their technology. All Ubisoft own is the Far Cry name as a brand. Watch the Far Cry 2 dev videos, they even said they scrapped everything from previous Far Cry games and built the game engine in house from scratch. Plus you can just wiki it.

@17 “they scrapped everything from previous Far Cry games and built the game engine in house from scratch” that probably explains why Far Cry 2 sucked so bad.

@17 Except Dunia engine use 3% code of cryengine 1.
