Looking Good

Recently I've been playing Crysis, that infamous devil that renders almost any ones PC inferior to Crytek. Although it is only the demo, i am pleasantly surprised with how this was not just a tech demo which was Far Cry. You could say it was its predecessor, being based on CryEngine 1, and Crysis yousing CryEngine 2. It makes me wonder what CryEngine 3 could have in store, and also what Crysis 2 will bring in terms of gameplay. Now i haven't played the game fully, though i hope too, so thinking ahead in plot is pointless. But gameplay i can manage.

The current function of your suit is a nice touch, with the speed, strength, default being armour. This should definitly be kept for starters because not only is it a part of the story, or lore, it's unique i feel than to any other shooter. Crytek must of really thought about how to make a good looking game have some extra depth to combat. It's showed. Stealthing behind a group of Koreans, switching to strength and punching them in the face, making a quick get away with speed. Nice and fast paced.

Keeping the game as open world as possible would be great. I was easily distracted by the palm tree pyhsics and the graphics of the water in between shooting enemies and completing objectives.

Now after seeing some screenshots of CE3, i'm very excited because not only is it easily the best looking game i will ever lay eyes on, apparanty the system specification to run it will be lower or equal to CE2. Whether this is true or not is yet to be confirmed, but i bloody hope it's true. Smooth frame rates here i come.
