Felt a little too long, especially given music. The trailer shoudl have ended at the first climax of teh music. And the blue text w/ the "blow you away" is a little cliche and felt dragged out. Overall, i became bored half way through

the game itself looks pretty sweet, too bad i wont be able to run it on my computer. oh well, looks like im wiating for the xbox360 version

I liked it. I didn't even notice the AR changes because of all the cuts. The fact that I have seen every single clip you used in your video reminds me that I am doing a good job keeping up with the pre-release hype. :D

If you demand criticism, I will just say that I think 100 seconds is a good figure for a game trailer.

Good job nonetheless. :thumbsup:

Thanks man. Yea, the core sound file was 2.5 minutes so I tried to do what I could with it.

I've got a medium 42mb version that is nicer.. but still has AR issues. I just dont understand why bigger size=less problems hehe

Eh some trailers can be longer than 100 seconds though. For instance the second GTA IV trailer is about the same length as coldkilla's. My few criticisms:

1) Bring down the time to around 1:45 there were a few times I would have made the cut to end
2) Get rid of the advertising at the end. No real need to advertise all of that stuff if you ask me
3) I agree with Moo that the blue blow you away text is kinda corny

The graphics sure are something, but that's pretty much where my excitement ends. Gameplay looks fairly standard, and it's using the fmod sound engine, ugh. It's a good DX10 demo to say the least, I'm looking forward to see if Far Cry 2 has anything more to offer.

To Nano: FarCry 2 is not done by Crytek.
To 006: Thanks!
To nsafreak:
-----1. I can try that.
-----2. The 'ad' at the end was required for the competition.
-----3. Should I have any text in there? Perhaps a change in format/color?

Hehe, alright then! -- Especially since it isn't EA!!! ha.

The game-play I think is a lot different than most games. The nano-suit allowing fast switch between strength/armor/cloak/speed seems quite interesting. And the smart adaptive AI that A. Learn your play style and are adjusted accordingly. B. Runs out of the camp to find reinforcements/sends flares/gets to a radio, etc. The fact that near anything can be moved/distroyed... you can literally take enemy ai by the throat and throw them through a building... you can shoot the gas out of a gas tank, watch the gas spill, shoot the gas... and blow the car.. theres wildlife, theres 100s of combinations to make your weapon 'yours'.. hmm... can shoot trees apart, can shatter a frozen block of stone, aliens... nukes...

I am quite interested in this game.. The MP is a different story, I personally will not like MP... but the tactical reality mods already in production are catching my eye.

Very nice, the music is awesome and really fits the movie! It has an epic feel, but again, the "blow you away" part is too cheesy :p oh well, its still nice nonetheless

Very good trailer, the only suggestion I would make is to rethink the color/timing of the "blow you away", not unlike MoOo's suggestion.

Very good, a bit long so try to get it under 1:40 or so. Otherwise, Superb job. I wish i had the skill to do this :(

To Fenixgoon: Thanks!
To ShadowOfMyself: True, a bit cheesy. I don't know really, you see I tried changing the text to a different style/font and came up short.. so I just left it.
To scott916: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
To Juno: Sony Vegas 7
To homercles337: I got it from IGN, Gamespot, GamersHell, GameTrailers.com, inCrysis.com, and crysis-online.com
Thecrecarc: Unless I cut the song merely in half yes, I could make it under 1:40 and I understand why. The competition', is over tomarrow and it would take too much time to re-render it and ship it out to people.

Thanks all!!

Ubi owns the name... I don't know honestly, perhaps ubi wanted FC2 and Crytek didn't have time to start a new project.

Great video, I downloaded the HD file and it looked great, music selection was good too. The game looks amazing, I can wait till it comes out.
