Exclusive Crysis Zero-G footage

By Johnny Minkley Published 20 September, 2007

Now showing on EGTV.

If our recent helpings of exclusive direct-feed gameplay footage from Crytek's mouthwatering new FPS (see here, here, and here ) have left you salivating for more, today we bring you the first taster of zero-gravity gameplay in the PC sci-fi stunner.

Spoiler-haters look away now: this level comes midway through your adventure. As well as offering a radical change of pace - you've stumbled inside a spooky, 'apparently deserted' (aren't they all?), alien vessel and this section is what the developer is calling "ambient storytelling" - it also offers complete 360-degree freedom of movement.

We'll hold the details there and leave the rest to you. Check out the zero-g footage right now onEurogamer TV, and don't forget to head over to the Crysis gamepage for all of our in-depth coverage.

    Seeing this is like watching Farcry again. Starts off great with jungles and mountains, then it becomes a cave horror alien shooter. All the graphic effects can't make it less boring.

    that looked absolutley terrible
    nearly fell asleep

    Painfully unrealistic.

  • Paolo_ray #7 5 years ago

    It looked so promising a while back. I'm not keen on the idea of the power ups, or the ice levels, or the sci-fi theme. And the Zero-G level looked woefully dull. YAWN. Another generic sci-fi shooting game.

    I wonder if they did research on Richard Garriott's Vomit Comet Zero-G plane

  • Katsumoto #9 5 years ago

    None of these reasons will stop Halo 3 selling by the bucket, however! Personally I'm still optimistic.

  • dr_shambles #10 5 years ago

    Meh.

  • Trane #11 5 years ago

    Looks a bit pap to me, aside from the graphics.

    I'll remain pessimistic then I can be pleasantly surprised if it turns out to be great =)

    Well. To be fair. It's not like any modern day shooter like GRAW, Call of Duty 4, etc or WW2 shooter brings so much innovation to the table. I'm fine with it being a space shooter (like the big spiders didn't give that away long ago).

    But this level is not what I call spectacular.

    It still looked beautiful, although those pale worm things reminded me of the monkey creatures in FarCry. I'm worried it will make the same mistake of a weak 2nd half letting down a brilliant 1st half.

    The powers lose a lot of their impact in this context. The speed and strength are most impressive when you're defying gravity by leaping through the air or belting it down a road. The speed in particular makes little sense when you're weightless.

    you peeps should see the comments on gamespot :))

    I personaly wish there weren't so many previews of the code. I'm tired of watching half-finished vids. in dx9. they should have kept quiet and then exploded with a bang on release day!
    oh well...

  • Amnesia #16 5 years ago


    I hope the devs are taking note of these comments and that that is one of the reasons there are so many clips coming out. The environment looks ok and stuff - pretty nice and purdy but not really a big deal anymore I'm afraid. But above all ffs you've got to do something about the squid-creatures. They don't look like *menacing* enemies, frankly they look like (ahem) a cross between a squid (30%) but mostly jizz solidifying in bathwater (70%) and then getting pulled hither and thither by the vacuum effect of the plug getting pulled out.

    I know it's not pretty.....but I'm not wrong am I? FFS get your enemies some ahem form and some menace.....
