    Aye, that has perked my interest quite a bit.

    best Grand Central sequence since "Carlito's Way"?

    Somebody should tell them that Grand Central is a terminus, not a station

    Jaw dropping! Will be buying this on pc for the best experience.

    Not too shabby ;)

  • Chewy #7 2 years ago

    Wow amazing in-game snippets there, but it won't look that on my 360 or PS3. :(

    Please someone correct me!

    As much as streaming compression COULD be to blame, seeing this in 720p i spotted some places where there seemed to be low-res textures and LOD that would be inferior to the first Crysis on PC. So my guess is this was console footage we've just seen.

    For precisions sake, and to eventually get second impressions on what I'm saying, look at the textures on the van close-up around the beginning (00:38), and the LOD deficiency on the wooden debris flying when the door gets kicked a bit later on (01:08). Then one could also make a case on things like the fire, which didn't seem very complex (alpha transparencies), etc. Anyone else that played Crysis on a high end PC and would like to weigh in with opinions?

    @Vlad27145 - you have eyes of a hawk! :-)

    If that is the case then, to my eyes at least, it looks ace.

    I've never played the first, but it's not necessary to "get in to" the storyline? I'm a single campaigner me.

    The nano suit looks ugly. Does it have to be a mass of bulky black muscles?

  • Cadence #11 2 years ago

    Holy crap, if that's the 360/PS3 version, I'm in.

    The story of the first one, and actually of the standalone expansion Warhead as well, was pretty basic. Not MW2 bad, but still nothing incredibly complex. Aliens invade, hulking macho marines shoot them in the face. And anyway since they won't put the first one on consoles, I doubt the two stories will be very tightly tied together.

    OMFG that looks incredible. If that is console footage then I will be ultra impressed.

  • edhe #14 2 years ago

    Compression, even at 720p, loses massive texture detail :/

    Looks Fun though.

    Sorry. Did I miss something? All I saw was another video for another tired and tedious looking first person shooter...

    Im with you there Sval, this does indeed look like a typically generic console-esque FPS with nothing new or interesting about it.
