EA @ E3 12: Crytek brings the awesome with Crysis 3 gameplay
It’s been a pretty good press conference day so far, with EA rounding out its conference with some sweet gameplay of Crysis 3. It’s time to slip back into your Nanosuit and get busy wrecking things! There’s no time for a manual override of a piece of equipment? Stomp it up – what else is your suit good for? Oh, right – turning invisible, jumping up onto a roof of a building, and just generally running around and blowing things up. Same old Crysis.
Of course, there’s the same old talk about the urban jungle, which comes out when Prophet pulls out his, um, insanely high tech bow and arrow and shoots down a helicopter. Wow. It’s still over a year away, but I have to say I’m pleased with what they’ve got so far.
First Crysis 3 gameplay trailer hunted down
Crysis 3 is still at least a year away, but the gameplay trailer that Crytek and EA have unveiled today is just astounding. Watch as Prophet traverses the “urban jungle” that is the New York Liberty Dome and watch as he lays waste to a squadron of alien scum with his awesome compound bow.
Crysis 3 will be available for the PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 sometime in 2013.
Crysis 3 teaser trailer teases a gameplay trailer coming April 24
This Crysis 3 teaser trailer is 19 seconds long… and it’s all just a setup to let us know that a full-length gameplay trailer will be released on Tuesday, April 24. Enjoy, I guess.
Crysis 3 officially announced by EA
As promised, EA and Crytek have officially announced Crysis 3 for the PC, PS3, and Xbox 360. The game will return the action to New York City in early 2013 promising, “the hunted becomes the hunter!”
Set 25 years after Crysis 2, the steel and concrete that make up the urban jungle of New York City have given way to an actual jungle courtesy of a “nanodome” that includes “overgrown trees, dense swamplands and raging rivers.” Crytek is calling this new New York City the Seven Wonders because players will visit seven unique game environments during their quest. Series protagonist Prophet also returns, this time with new weaponry (including the lethal composite bow pictured above) and an enhanced nanosuit to hunt down the alien invaders:
Set in 2047, Prophet is on a revenge mission after uncovering the truth behind Cell Corporation’s motives for building the quarantined Nanodomes. The citizens were told that the giant citywide structures were resurrected to protect the population and to cleanse these metropolises of the remnants of Ceph forces. In reality, the Nanodomes are CELL’s covert attempt at a land and technology grab in their quest for global domination. With Alien Ceph lurking around every corner and human enemies on the attack, nobody is safe in the path of vengeance. Everyone is a target in Prophet’s quest for retribution.
Players who pre-order Crysis 3 will receive the “Hunter Edition” limited edition at no extra charge. The Hunter Edition includes exclusive weapons and character skins as well as a multiplayer XP boost. Several retailer-specific pre-order bonus packs will also offer additional weaponry on top of the Hunter Edition package.
Crytek’s CEO, Cevat Yerli said, “We cannot wait until people get their hands on the game.”
Crysis 3 to be unveiled on April 16
Developers at Crytek have made mention of their plan for a “Crysis trilogy” on more than one occasion. So hearing that the header image of Crysis 3 above was leaked by EA’s Origin store isn’t exactly a shocker.
What is surprising is that EA confirmed the rumor by telling Game Informer: “The best kept secret in shooters just can’t be contained. Stay tuned for more information on April 16.”
So check back Monday when we’ll learn more about Crysis 3.
