Crysis 3?

[Stone Gargoyle]

Are Crytek moving ahead with a third outing?

[SerotoNiN]

Maybe 3 times a charm since the first two sucked so badly?

The second was at times underwhelming but the first I adored. It far from sucked for me.

Did i miss something here, Crysis 1 is one of my all time favorite game, gives you soo much freedom which Crysis 2 could not provide .... and an overall much better game than Crysis 2 !

Hopefully Crysis 3 (if it was to be release) gives you the sandbox style gameplay which Crysis 1 provided and not the crappy linear gameplay from Crysis 2

God help us. Please CryTek, end the suffering!

Sure Crysis 1 was open ended, but it was nothing more than a glorified interactive tech-demo. The gameplay was down right boring. Had the game not sported the visuals it had at the time, it would have never gotten half the fame it did. The graphics made the game. The gameplay was poor at best. No innovation, here's a pretty jungle,, shoot guys and aliens. Quite the original idea lol.

Warhead was just more of the same crap for me.

And while much linear, I felt Crysis 2 had some decent moments, overall not a very good game, but they did try harder and it was better than part 1, but by no means was part 2 a "good game".

I just don't see where they go with number 3, the sequel didn't sell very well, and this time around they didn't have the piracy on pc scapegoat to run to instead of admitting they made a bad game that was nice to look at like they did with the original.

I dunno. Crytek reminds me of early ID software, great engines, no gameplay. Kind of like a blond with huge knockers and no brains.

I will never understand this particular stance on Crysis as long as I live. Crysis was so much more besides being just a technology fest.

It's easy to figure out. People hated it because it made their just-purchased, brand spanking new several hundred dollar hardware seem like it didn't make a single difference because they couldn't max it out from the get-go and get a steady 60+ fps framerate.... which was the norm for a few years prior to it... and has been the norm pretty much ever since.

That old argument that Crysis is only praised for it's graphics is BS

Far Cry 2 is a very pretty game, but didn't get any praise for it's SP Campaign because it sucks.
BF3's campaign looks even better but it didn't get any praise either because it also sucks.
Crysis did however because it's also a great singleplayer game not just great looking.

I don't understand how you can call this gameplay boring

Rarely any FPS has the mechanics to let you do stuff like that jeep kill for example

Sorry to spoil everyone's want for Crysis 3 but I distinctly remember hearing that Crytek were on board to develop the next Homefront game. I may be wrong but I am sure they were. Or maybe it was THQ buying the license to use cryengine3 for the next game. But I do remember the team behind the first and underwhelming Homefront 1 being sacked. I will try and find the article where I read it.

EDIT:

Quick Google search brought up the article

Crytek has more then one studio. If I remember correctly... there's five different studios.
As they also have one of their studios making that game Warface and another studio working on Timesplitters 4.

The Crysis games are done by the main Crytek studio. While other projects like Homefront 2, Timesplitters 4 and such... are done by Crytek UK and such.


Personally, I'd be up for a third game.
I was hugely disappointed with the first Crysis. While it's a visual wonder... as a game it was rather lacluster. With a subpar plot, broken pacing and paperthin characters.
Not to mention average gameplay that falls apart as the game's flow deteriorates.

Crysis 2 maintained a more solid pacing and flow from start to finish. More defined characters, and a more solid... better told story.
While Crysis 2 may not have been the benchmark achievement visually that the first game was, it's still a good looking game.
And to me, visuals don't make a game. As pretty as Crysis is, I can't stand to play it as the game bores the hell out of me.

We know crysis is a trilogy, so why not.

Loved Crysis 2. Loved Warhead. Hated Crysis 1.

I feel the same way. I loved the premise of a Crysis 2 "MW-style" multiplayer though, but there were too few servers, maps, and especially weapons, and the DLCs were rather lackluster (mostly because almost nobody bought them so there were never any DLC servers up).

[viren]

I dont know how you guys hate crysis 1, maybe your cards were incapable of handling the graphics or whatever but i still love love crysis 1 and warhead, didn't have the time to play crysis 2 as i got busy with my personel life but hell ya im gonna definately play crysis 2 sooner and 3 later when it is released.

[Do not take my comments as personel as even some of my friends hated crysis 1 but i never did].

[Year]

First Crysis bored me to hell gameplay wise but had excellent graphics.

2nd was better gameplay wise but graphics while very good, still wasn't as good as the first one.

i reckon a 3rd Crysis will either be the best of both worlds.. or a complete disaster.

personally i think Crysis 3 will be another Daikatana, a disaster destined to be remembered for generations.

[shoja]

Crysis 1 has no amazing story. It's like the Avatar movie where people thought it had the best story ever! Just to realize that the graphics were what had them drowned, not the story. It's taking longer for first Crysis players to snap out of this "best story ever" thoughts and get real. That's what I think

[PhazeDelta1]

how awesome would it have been to see metro last light done with cryengine3?

I liked Warhead the best....Prophet was great

You played as Psycho in Warhead.
Prophet was a supporting character in the first game, and a main character (of sorts) in Crysis 2.
