Crysis was one of the many gorgeous show-stoppers at E3. Publisher EA looks to re-tool our definition of next-gen graphics with this game which looks looks a cut above all else. While it’s difficult for re-branded franchises (the previous game was ‘Far Cry’) to get noticed amongst the massive deluge of monthly releases and sequels, Crysis looks prepared to hit PC gamers hard until their poor souls are content.
Here’s the lowdown on Crysis:
Being a Windows exclusive title, Crysis will unfortunately grace your computer screen only, not home console.
The story is based around an asteroid that hits earth on a Pacific island. The island is sealed off and you’re part of the US special forces sent there to see to the matter. When the asteroid later opens up, an alien craft is revealed, and somehow, the aliens freeze the surrounding area, where they later they use the Hunter to attack.
Crysis looks brilliant thus far, and the release date is said to be between 2006-2007, but there’s still a fair amount up in the air to be disclosed about Crysis, so we’ll keep you posted. And if you were wondering what the future of gaming might hold, this is it.
