@Bam345: I agree,far cry's story is another cliche and Crysis (A friend of mine said) is,sort of, ripped off some anime by the name "Innocent Venus"...well atleast the nano suit (with animation and effects) was :/
But,if they plan to make the movies of the later titles,namely Crysis 2 and Far Cry 2,may not suck a much as we think they would.

I love how he calls the Wii, Xbox 360 and the PS3 simpler platforms. Of course, making a game that can't run full force on most computers would make him say that.

And correct me if I'm wrong: Crysis was made in four years and it still manages to eat machines. Crysis 2 in 5 years will require machi- no wait, bio-plasmid quantum core sentient AIs to run it.

For all those congratulating BD, it's a direct quote from Yahtzee's review of Crysis. Also the movie is obviously going to be horrible, honestly most of the people in the cinema with me thought that the Dungeon Siege movie was a comedy (can't remember it's name). I've never understood the whining with Crysis either, my 7500LE (equivalent of GeForce 7300 I think) could run it at 15 FPS on normal and 22 on low which is a very playable frame rate in my opinion, game did kinda blow compared to the graphics though thanks to a lack of any realy substance apart from the suit gimmick, don't get me wrong I love gimmicks when they work but this wasn't even that interesting, got through the whole game barely using it, physics were fun to mess around with though.

Crysis had some truly amazing gameplay behind its graphics. The last third of the game was more linear and not quite as good as the rest, but the whole time when you're fighting the KPA was magnificent because of the amount of tactical freedom you had. It's the only game I've played that really gave me the sense of being a superhero. Unfortunately a lot of people missed that. I think this is one of those games where the more you put in, the more you get out. Sure, you can play it like a regular shooter, and it'll be kinda meh. Or you can mow down trees and use the trunks as clubs and crazy stuff like that, and have a grand old time.

It's too bad the story and writing were so blah. Is that really the best they can come up with?

Crysis was one of the best shooters ever made. Can't run it on MAX, so freakin' what? It looks better than any game even on medium.

And I call B.S. on anyone who says it was all looks and no gameplay. That just suits the stereotype doesn't it? The issue is that people love to bash it without having even tried it.

@Drakron:Well I guess the USA! USA! diatribe might be overkill, but for Christ's Sake Crytek is a German Dev house.

I am not saying you should not have your opinion about the game, I am just saying there have been more falsehoods said on this blog about this game it is ridiculous.

Also, I am a framerate freak, so my setting are in line with that using my 1920 x 1200 24" moniter. Also, I forgot to mention I have postprossing on high as well.

@homernoy:

Issue is I would have to buy a new computer (mine is starting to really be outdated) to play it and by what you said it will still require a computer from 2010 to run it on maximum details.

Also Crysis rub me the bad way by its storyline ... sorry but I am more that tired of the "USA!USA!USA!" propaganda that keeps getting repeated on games.

DigitalHero — Fri, 08 Feb 2008 22:31:09 MST

When you look at Crytek, they aren't really a top tier game developer. Maybe an awesome engine developer but definately not a great game developer. Sure Crysis and FarCry are decent titles but that is two games. They have much more to prove in my opinion to be in the ranks of Capcom, Square, Bungie, Bioware, Infinity Ward, Silicon Knight, etc.

@Drakron:Play it. There is no way it is fair to yourself to listen to the peanut gallery on this game. It is just plain great. I just bought two 8800gts 512MB cards and am running the game on all medium settings with the exception of physics, and shaders.

On those settings the game makes Uncharted look like a joke. I pick on Uncharted because I loved that game as well and it looked great. But nothing compaired to this.

The game is open ended, fun, fast, slow, stealthy. I think it is GOTY. Of course I love all the other top games as well, I just think Crysis got the shaft due to perceived system requirements. Melt/ignite your PC? Pffff.

"CryTek remains one of the top independent game makers in the world today."

Not a pretty site considering they only put out two engine that are "all show and no content" ... FarCry was pretty BUT it was ridden of bad gameplay decisions, starting with the save game system, going to to "2 hits-you are dead" from small fast moving enemies that were SCRIPTED to rush to the player location and the moving from a "open map/can take any route" to "gun-in-rails" ... did I forget about to mention the opening movie of the game? it was pure non-sense.

Anyone wondered by that game engine that received so much praises was never licensed?

Cannot talk about Crysis since I never played but it seems a "run-in-rails" typical FPS with the saving grace of "looking pretty".

I'd make the obligatory systems requirements joke regarding a Crysis movie, but I don't know enough about theater equipement.

I'm surprised they haven't jumped on Capcom for Devil May Cry.

Uwe Boll isn't from Deutschland... he's from Doucheland.

There's a very distinct difference. Cool people come from Germany (sometimes...), idiots like Boll come from Doucheland.

CFStang — Fri, 08 Feb 2008 20:05:29 MST

At a business and financial perspective Boll was great with how he could get around the German tax code. Crytek probably got a sum for the rights at the beginning and will get royalties for the film and such, they don't have as much to lose as the studio.

I just pray that Farcry 2 will not cause house fires.

Crysis 2 WILL cause house fires.

---

Seriously though it would be cool if Crysis 2 had terrain deformation and such. Since currently I think thats the only thing missing from the game at this point, since its already got awesome physics and lots of destructable stuff.

More tossing folks would be great too, that shit never gets old.

"Yerli said that licensing the film rights to fellow German Boll was the right business decision at the right time and they had good talks with the director."

I can't even read that with a straight face. Doesn't he realize that, in the hands of Boll, Far Cry will be turned into a Western or something?
