Crysis 2 shown at E3 Conference
Representatives of EA/ Crytek said at the recent E3 press conference that Crysis 2 boasts the most intelligent
enemies ever. At the conference Crysis 2 was shown. Heat vision mode, vehicle combat and sandbox elements was screened.
The game happens “in the urban jungle”. The locations is a city, but it retains the “go anywhere” feel of Crysis and Crysis Warhead.
The demo which was shown at the E3 conference showed player going from location to location and at last faces off against a gigantic walkinng robot.
Many nanosuit powers were also shown in the screening demo such as Invisibility Cloak. Immediately, it was seen, that the entire building starts crumbling and player catches a ride on a speedy jeep.
As a whole the game seems fast paced. It will hit all the 3 platforms - Xbox 360, PS3 as well as PC. A separate version will come for 2D and 3D.
Yerli says all asked him why they are not going to consoles
It is a fact that all console gamers wait for years for the Crysis series to make its much-awaited living room debut. The E3 conference last week announced that the German developer’s signature series will be available in stores for the PC, Xbox 360, and PS3. These were the part of the EA Partners program.
In a recent interview after the announcement, the CEO and president of Crytek, Cevat Yerli and the GM of EA, David DeMartini explained the reasons of releasing the game on multiplatform.
Yerli said, “It’s a question of more than economics. At the end of the day we’re paying salaries and we all have to live, but that’s one side of this job. But most importantly and a bit more tangible to us are the families, the nephews, and sons who ask, ‘Why aren’t you going to consoles?”
He further added that it is a kind of like bothering people. The developer and publisher has been asked several time in the last 3 or 4 years. Yerli also insists that the company will not be committing to a console Crysis 2 unless it would sustain the established reputation with the benchmark-setting efforts such as Crysis and Far Cry.
