Trailers: Crysis 2 Launch Trailer

[Alandoril]

So, wait...all that fuss about images of the Twin Towers and yet you can show New York entirely gutted and no one cares?

Why can't people be consistent in their knee-jerk reactions?

Edit: Also I wish companies would make decent trailers for games and films, most of them these days feel so lacklustre. The trailer for the first Alien film is awesome, if a little over-stated towards the end and as is the trailer for Unbreakable.

Edit: Double also...why is the last hope for humanity always an American with a gun?

The trailer looked nice but the song choice was not very good.

 

[jaketheripper]

i would care more if i got a chance to play more than half of a match. i guess ill put it on gamefly

 

[Tiamat666]

I wonder why everyone is so critical about everything Crysis yet is totally fine with Call of Duty sporting the same gameplay over and over again with the plot just getting more ridiculous and over the top with every release

 

[RA92]

I dunno why, but rap songs really don't feel right to me when portraying a moment of crisis. I remember how the chopper mission in the last MoH lost all sense of graveness with the rap soundtrack in the background...
The trailer was super cheesy. But kinda looking forward to the game itself.

Picked the Game up this morning.. Still installing.. Its like the devs are daring me to read every less than stellar review while i wait for this thing to finish .. WOW what a horrible installer program 0_0

 

[sidecord]

while not the biggest rap fan, i liked the song
the only problem i have with it is that its $60 and i don't have that much money

 

[Jonluw]

Pretty boring trailer, that.

 

[Sir Thomas Sean Connery]

Ugh.....

Not only did this trailer do nothing to convince me it would be better than the abysmal first game, that song was just horrible. Someone needs to dub in "New York, New York" over that trailer and fast.

 

[CrashBang]

Wow. I'm looking forward to this game, I can't wait to get my hands on it, but that trailer? That did not make me want to play it at all. The song wasn't necessarily bad but it wasn't right for the tone of the trailer and it just didn't... do... anything. It was bland, very 'meh'

 

[teutonicman]

Yeah, they definitely should have used Frank Sinatra's "New York, New York" instead.

 

[yo mato]

hahhahahah, what kind of slogan is that?

"be the weapon, save new york"

it might as well be: "new york has been kidnapped by aliens, are you a bad enough dude to save new york?"

 

[Baneat]

THAT IS AN AWESOME CHOICE OF MUSIC

now the positive is out of the way
1) why is he killing soldiers
2) why are the aliens in new york?

Spoiler

Those are C.E.L.L soldiers who work for Crynet, the guys who made the suits, who have been hunting Prophet to retrieve the suit, inadvertently pursuing Alcatraz, believing he is Prophet. They want to retrieve the suit because it has some info they want and its the mark 2 Nanosuit which they want back.

Aliens in New York, they are invading so they try to kill mass amounts of people so go to cities, kinda sure they are in nearly all major cites in the world.

.

Spoiler tags aren't working for me, disregard the quote since I can't discuss it without ruining some of the plot.

Anyway Richard K Morgan wrote the plot, or at least partially wrote the plot (Altered Carbon - Takeshi Kovacs trilogy), and as a result it's not that bad. His style is always based off a very simple start point, such as aliens in new york, get rid, and it's the filligree that makes his books great. For example, the premise of his first book is, Some guy shot me, people's "souls" exist in data-chips, go find the killer.

One of the many times I curse being in England, got to wait till friday to play this, dang it! and i've been waiting since I finished the first game.

and.... am I the only one who actualy liked the song choice... but each to thier own.

 

[SenorNemo]

Wow, you're all so cool and cynical! I wish I could see things as jadedly as you do!

>_>

Seriously though, I don't think any of the trailers so far have shown off the game particularly well beyond the art direction (which looks superb). I'm still torn about whether to get this. I'm too cheap to get Xbox Live, so I won't be doing much multiplayer, but the story looks interesting. From the trailers, the dialog and voice acting sound comically bad with one or two exceptions, but the writer seems to know how to tell a good story, and it seems to take suit after the more open, gameplay integrated school of storytelling and level design of Half Life. Also, for all the super-soldiers featured in games these days, very few really explore transhumanism, and it sounds like that's a major component of this title. Still, it's very hard to tell from any of the reviews we've gotten so far as to what extent they've succeeded.

D'aww, what the heck, I'll try it. It'll be cool at least for the awesome art direction.

Perhaps off topic still but yeh I bought pc version this morning . STILL installing ?? I mean really ?? looks 98 percentish now with the install bar 0_o

 

[Korten12]

B.O.B. made a damn fine song for this game, I'm trying to find it right now

[Distorted Stu]

Incredible trailer, i think it was the music that sold it to me.

[fix-the-spade]

Well.

If nothing else that proves Crytek have got style.

Was the voice-over at the beginning and end Boyd from Dollhouse? Sounded a lot like him.
