Crysis Warhead announced :)

[da_ging]

was hoping and expecting that the next crysis instalment would continue from where it left off tbh, but so long as they get rid of the silly bugs and give it a polish this time round it should be good, but i think far cry 2 will be better

CoD4 was the best FPS last year IMO ( still not even tried it online! )

what!! seriously what! am I the only 1 who thinks that single player COD4 is the most abysmal thing ever , it's horribly retarded and annoying.
It has everything it needs to be great but the whole move over invisible line triggering constant enemy spawns till you move another invisible line is ridiculously tedious , it was bad enough in cod2 but cod4 takes it to a whole new world of annoyance

I liked Both COD4 & Crysis. I'm Looking forward to this, as the only problem i had with Crysis that it was too short, which is why i think they are probably bringing this out, a lil tweak of the engine etc, but still around the same time frame of the other? It's more like a update/expansion pack imo. One year is pretty quick from them to do a whole new game.

But still, this should be good!

Never really liked crysis...looks are top notch but the storyline and game depth is lacking IMO

[Whiternoise]

Is it just me or was Crysis as a game hugely over rated. I didn't see what was great about it. CoD4 on the other hand was brilliant imo... but I haven't tryed any other first person shooters this year...

Crysis, to me, was basically a tech demo.

Whilst the AI and the Graphics were on the whole very impressive, as well as the physics being superb, the gameplay wasn't really anything new. It was just a more open ended FPS, and the fun of punching walls out grew tiring quickly.

It's a good game, don't get me wrong, but for actual gameplay there's much better to be had. COD4 as referenced was outstanding in my opinion. Mainly for the varied environments it offered, as well as a genuinely good storyline that made a great change from the usual WW2 stuff.

The new Crysis should be good, especially if it's properly optimised - better support for SLi and so on.

@da ging

Could you offer an FPS that was better than COD4? (and no, "anything" isn't an answer )

One year is pretty quick from them to do a whole new game.

Spot on in my opinion...I wouldn't be suprised to see quite a few recycled maps, maybe not just the ones where you meet Psycho in the first game.

Having said that, I'm still looking forward to it.

i loved crysis and tbh i cant see why cod4 is so good, its basic to me in graphica and gameplay but thats probably just me. I kinda wish they came off from the ending of the first but i guess another crysis is still just as good, hopefully the game will run better than before on the same cards.

[CaseyV9]

That actually makes a lot more sense. Although, I can't imagine it running well on an Xbox if a high spec PC struggles...

My PC is pretty low spec. And that run Crysis okay looking quite pretty.
I suppose the main reason for this was that I was playing in DX9.
Maybe that makes a big difference?

But have you seen the screens from Far Cry 2? That don't look far off from Crysis graphics wise.
And that will be out on all formats.


The other thing is whether or not this will be an add-on pack or a brand new game.

[SiM]

Well it might work on PS3/Xbox but graphics won't be comparable to PC graphics... CoD4 looks so much better on my old 4400 x2 system than it looks on a PS3... thats the only game I have seen on both platforms though...

But have you seen the screens from Far Cry 2? That don't look far off from Crysis graphics wise.

Far Cry 2 looks like it's just pushing normal dx9 graphics to their current standards and I don't think it'll be quite as technologically advanced as Crysis was. That said, artwork more than makes up for technical inferiority and the increased polish could mean that on the majority of systems Far Cry 2 seems nicer than Crysis.

Not that Crysis used anything other than dx9 anyway, but it was still a resource hog.

[CaseyV9]

Ah, just remembered the whole Dx10 farce. Where It was found you could unlock the ultra high settings in Dx9.

Is this new Crysis game an add on pack or a seperate game?

If it is an add on pack then maybe that would excuse them for stopping support for Crysis.
