Crysis 2 - Cinematic

Published 9 April, 2010 Duration 2:12

New York's been taken over by aliens and regular human soldiers can't do anything about it. But you can, in your muscular exo-skeletan super suit. Go punch some sheds!

    Looks good, video is a bit cliche though.

  • bad09 #2 2 years ago

    Nice I suppose, not really worth a countdown on a website though.

    I really wish companies would ditch teasers, all they do is piss you off because they never show you the important thing...THE GAME!

    / waits for some actual game footage, which would get him excited

    MMmmm

    that suit is looking more and more like a gorilla fancy-dress costume

    Meh.

    Being emotionally involved in this
    epic battle in New York is for me
    the bingo factor of this Crysis 2
    trailer.

    In FPS games you shoot and kill
    enemies and most times the
    whole prosses becomes mechanical
    and repetetive not undertstanding
    that you are actually killing. Seeing this
    trailer makes you feel that you must jump
    in and HELP the desperate situation people
    have found themselfs in after the
    catastrophe the alien invasion has created.

    A professional science fiction writer
    Richard Morgan ia added to the taleneted
    Crytek firm and I believe that the game will
    deliver a new level of story telling and action
    where choices have moral and ethical
    concequences.

    The most valueable thing in the history of
    humanity is human life. Dostogiefsky wrote:

    'As long as there is still ONE child diying
    from hunger in some place of this planet
    our civilization that we feel so proud of, will
    never be justified'.

    I just hope Crysis 2 delivers this level of
    feelings in the background of my head while
    playing it this Christmas. I also hope they
    don't underestimate the importance of
    clever AI. In the first Crysis I remember
    hiding in those steel container boxes
    and killing easilly from inside dozens
    of enemies like silly duks. Oh and off
    course the containers were never
    damaged no matter how many
    grenades fell around.

    About the nanosuit I think
    they are slightly overdoing
    with it making it too large and
    clumpsy like a Big Daddy from
    Bioshock 2.

    Crysis 2 is hopefully going to be a
    great science fiction thriller setting
    as its predecessor new standars not
    only in graphics but also in story
    telling and (I hope) ARTIFICIAL
    INTELLIGENCE !

    I was reffering to human
    enemies not alien ones.
    Basically in war games
    like FPS ones, the main part of
    the gameplay is constructed around
    the killing. The moral part has to do
    with why you are killing. Are you
    killing because you have to survive,
    save civillians, serve your country from
    invaders etc. Then killing is not
    your choice it is the result of your self
    defence. And deffending your life , your
    country your family by my opinion is
    something you are obliged to do.

    great music choice, but what's up with the calves of the dude in the suit? they're twice the size of his thighs/arms

  • sneetch #8 2 years ago

    Man those poor New Yorkers, it sometimes seems like every alien invader has some personal against that town.

    @JahB
    To say nothing of his "buns of steel"! ;)

  • tesco #9 2 years ago

    m7, its a game.

  • illusiondance #10 2 years ago

    oh christ, not another game set in newyork.
    at least the early shots looked pretty cute. (i get the distinct feeling e.a are spooling this one up for a film treatment)

  • kangarootoo #11 2 years ago

    @MMMMMM7

    Hmmm, I guess the music touched you are something. I thought it was a bit cheesy myself.

    Yeah, I'm sure the end result will be just like that. And it won't be at all the machine like killing we see in other FPS games. Oh no, not a bit of it. Players will probably cry everytime they punch an alien in the 'face'. "You see their faces every time you close your eyes" and so on, no doubt.

  • anomagnus #12 2 years ago

    they need to fire their marketing guy, the music was so bad in this trailer, i had to mute the computer.

  • Red-Moose #13 2 years ago

    Looks cool! I really liked Crysis, it was like a less kitsch version of GoW, a little bit of Splinter Cell thrown in.

  • Lukree #14 2 years ago

    Someone has clearly seen that pretty decent catastrophy film where something is walking around NY. :)

  • Shrike #15 2 years ago

    Trailer is better when you imagine that it's the supersoldier guy singing.

  • Caimbeul #16 2 years ago

    In game characters on PC look better than those in that cinematic.

  • Rodchenko #17 2 years ago

    Yeah, let's pick New York as a backdrop for apocalyptic action. That's, like, so underused...

  • Alatair #18 2 years ago

    A trailer about new york and the soundtrack isn't something by lou reed?

  • barnettbeans #19 2 years ago

    YES very cliché. But I love that feel and contrast between a slow beautiful voice and an action scene. So bravo to the cinematic team. What the games like well god knows.

  • E_Goldstein #20 2 years ago

    nicely done that. I just find it hard to get excited about another FPS these days.

  • Tehren #21 2 years ago

    Sweet. Taking Crysis to NYC could be just the ticket.

  • CHAZBIGPOTATO #22 2 years ago

    The end of the song was missing a "Yay yay!"

  • Gearskin #23 2 years ago

    Awesome teaser

  • smartgun #24 2 years ago

    Super Soldier vs Aliens. Why has nobody thought of this before?

  • YoungPayters #25 2 years ago

    very nice, always wanted to play the first, never had the machine to cope with it though :( but loved that, love the song as well. it was very cool!
