It'll be awesome killing soldiers in a jungle... and then overpowered aliens/mutants will ruin it. Exactly like Far Cry...

sure it has lived up to the hype:
Crysis IS a pretty and short ten-hour tech demo that no one can play on 'Very high'
i guess i have 1/4 of the game already in the Demo ... two of 8 levels?
- that'll keep me 'till i major upgrade my system to QuadCore Penryn and 2900xt Crossfire - for maxed out DX9
:roll:

The beta was alright, but nothing like the hype. Especially since it looks nothing like the previews weve been seeing even on a C2D E4400 @ 3ghz, 8800GTS, and 2gb of DDR2-800.

Well we've only played the demo so there may be some goodies later on that will blow me away, but right now it's like FC2 with superb graphics. I still really liked the demo. I couldn't disagree more that the suit is "mildly useful" Speed, invisibility, strength are terrific ways to vary up the gameplay, and that you have only a couple seconds of each tempers it from becoming too godlike. The manner they implemented it with the mouse gesture is simplistic and genius. The pre-release vids seemed intimidating. Modding the guns isn't something to do on the run, but when would you really have time to in the middle of a firefight? AI wasn't that impressive. Vehicles run a bit slower than they should I think. The game runs great on my system at 16x12 (C2d, 8800gts640). I thought there'd be no way I could run it on High but it's very smooth. I'm impressed.

How can you say that? Other than textures being a tad low on plants and ground and such it looks about exactly as the previews showed it to be. I just went over to gametrailers for another look before posting
The other suit features may not be mandatory in the demo but they could be necessary somewhere in the full game, who knows? I like them because they add an extra dimension that allows for so many variations of attack/defense/stealth strategies, not to mention the vehicles, and make for great replay value.Originally posted by: cmdrdredd

Problem is...you can go through the WHOLE demo without using anything but max armor and strength (to jump in the spots it forces you to). You never really need or have use for the cloak or the speed ever.
It's a gimmick.

Fine people...compare it to FarCry but DO NOT say that Crysis is FarCry 2.
FarCry 2 is scheduled to come out in 2008.
Who knows...Crytek might tweak the CryEngine 2 and make FarCry 2 look better than Crysis.....
