I asked the same question when I first heard it was taking place in NYC. Then I noticed the lack of ice which made no sense considering the aliens main attacks were ice based.crazypsyko666 said:
The original island had a whole lot more character than a major city that a lot of other games used for a setting.
The more I think about it, the more I start to question if I even want to play the damn game. I'm sure a demo would come out though, so I'll give it a chance
This trailer was quite silly. I hope the real game doesn't use these writers. Otherwise? We be screwed, cap'n. It'll become a wasteland of CryTek physics puzzles and billions of generic alien grunts in NYC. At least they could have picked Anchorage or, I dunno, Madrid. At least the game looked pretty, if generic.
I actually watched this video on Gametrailers first, and you know what? They thought it looked AWESOME. They thought the narration was cool, the dialogue, the enemies, and the writing.shaboinkin said:
UGH.
I swear, I've heard that soundtrack before...
but anyway, since I never really played the original crysis only played it once at my mates place, it was okay, just really a standard FPS, nothing to innovative or special being added to the genre, but I guess some people like that, and we all know of games that tried to add special things to the game to enhance it, but in the end just ended up being a mosh pit of unnorginization with the entire game play being completely based on that mechanic* cough cough* Gears of War *cough cough*
But I guess we will just have to see how crysis 2 plays out, I hope it will have at least something innovative and fun to play around with, just not your average, go in, beat the shit out of everything, sit there waiting for pickup while chomping away at enemies who have whipped cream for armour and mindlessly run straight into your bullets even if you're not aiming at them.
But yeah, we will see.

In response to questions in the thread:
"Why no ice based attacks?" - I'd probably guess they didn't make the aliens use them this time because they figured out they didnt work well enough.
"Why in NYC?" - I'd probably guess they had the aliens attack them because, well the US did strike at them in the first game.
(It's just my opinions, and I'm entirely open to debate that *doesn't* consist entirely of calling me mentally deprived.)

My thoughts exactly. It's a downright beautiful generic shooter, but still a generic shooter.FinalDream said:
when the game trailers turn into movie trailer monologues? XD
looks fantastic. Hope they finally realize that poor optimization of their graphics/textures is a poor excuse as to y their game cant be played on ultra high settings <.<

It's Nine Inch Nails... it's actually one of my favorite songs, the name is 'Just Like You Imagined.'thefreeman0001 said:
They also used it in the original trailer for 300.
I am sad it hurts you ears!
I've got a question. I'm not too tuned into the Crysis universe, never have been, but in a time of huge international alien invasion, don't you think the countries with that kind of tech (epic nano-suit tech, that is) just kind of set aside petty squabbles like prices and money and stuff and just make a million of them?
It just seems to me that if one nano-suit soldier can kick the whole alien regieme up the arse, 65 million could squash the aliens like bugs.

Ugh, sure I guess. But at that point, they would have dozens upon dozens of possible locations for this game to be played, and of all places, why New York? We all know how important New York is, but it's just so cliche. Hell, the hills of San Francisco would make a much better playground. lots of vertical terrain, sprawling cities, narrow streets littered with cars and similar objects. If they wanted a really gritty level, they could just go about 20 miles to Oakland. Of the entire country, hell, the whole world, why post-apocalyptic New York? Again?dogstile said:
One of my favorite parts of Fallout New Vegas was the fact that it took place in the middle of a nowhere part of the U.S., featuring a city that very few games had previously explored. So haven't these developers got the hint yet? We're still wrecking New York and DC, people. This is ridiculous.
Looks very promising, though all trailers look or seem promising! Still gonna preorder it!
I'm not optimistic about square enix doing the cinematics.
Interesting to see how the new cry engine does in an urban environment. Far Cry 3 coming around the corner?

I honestly thought that Don't Stop Me Now was gonna start playing at the end. Ooh, that might actually be a fitting parody.
Yeah, it's pretty poorly written. I mean, look at that first part:"They say the suit makes me more than a soldier - but it's our only chance to fight against the invasion." Why would being more then a soldier CONTRADICT being the only chance to fight, etc? And being invisible isn't really as general as being "fast" and "strong", so it's a little strange to have those three terms lumped together.Neptunus Hirt said:
Although, towards the beginning, I THOUGHT he was going to make a pun off of the expression "The suit makes the man", which, admittedly, would have been way worse.
Precisely my thoughts. It's as if they meant something else entirely with their "more than a soldier" bit. More than a soldier, but less human as a consequence? Possibly some bad editing going on here.Frozen Donkey Wheel2 said:
Either way, it's pretty damn sloppy work.
