Crysis 3 Seems to Exist, Will Probably Be Announced Soon

EA has stated that they will release some information on the game on April 16.

Can't say I really care. I liked 2 more than 1, but I can't see myself giving a shit about Crysis 3.

There goes one E3 surprise.

I really disliked the direction Crysis 2 went into by making it another COD clone. I tried playing it but just got so mind numbingly bored with the game a few hours in that I had to stop and could not force myself to go any further no matter how hard I tried.

Yeah right this was a total accident and had nothing to do with their stock prices gradually falling for the past couple weeks. Also I really hope they deliver a product that was made for PC first.

Crysis 2 was a good, but a total renter.

And completely forgettable. I played it this past summer and I could barley tell you anything about the game.

Loved Crysis 2. I hope Richard K Morgan is writing #3

Bugs everywhere, and one thing that hindered all platforms was somewhat bad voice acting. Also, put the prone feature back in. I think since I like Crysis so much, the lack of Timesplitters talk is OK. I still wish they made a fourth one though.

Wait, wait, wait

*record scratch*

NO PRONE IN CRYSIS 2? THERE WAS NO PRONE IN CRYSIS 2? FUCK THAT GAME

FUCK THAT NOISE

BULLSHIT.

@InfamousBIG: May be sarcasm, not sure, but I'll treat it as if. I know, it's a small thing to complain about, and while it doesn't ruin the game, it's something that I wish was in there.

Never finished the second one. I may try to get back into it soon.

Awesome, more games I would be interested in if it wasn't for EA's dickery. Sigh, adding it to the pile for "when it gets on steam/or never buy, whichever comes first" with Syndicate and Crysis 2...

Inadvertent my eye. EA's shameless stock manipulation in effect once again. Imagine if you will a corporation only days ago awarded the title of worst Company in America for 2012 and with no good news to offset this bad press we all of a sudden get a sneak of this popular release on the distant horizon...Well played EA well played.

Crysis 1 epic Crysis 2 was linear boring felt more like COD then a sandbox style game Crysis still has better graphics then 2 also the nanosuit in 2 felt wrong the first game felt more useful and tactical.It's another series dumbed down by EA just like BF3 ect..

Internet rumor related to the price is that the Origin version of Crysis 3 is going to be cheaper, but then again that sounds just as crazy as Crysis 3 universally being priced at $49.99.

Maximum bow.

Sounds good to me. Crysis is so very close to achieving greatness. Maybe this one will tip that scale.

Why are the pc and xbox360 version the same price? The pc version should be cheaper. I guess EA are just a bunch of greedy cunts expecting pc gamers to be dumb and fall for the hype again?

I wont, fuck you EA. Crysis 2 was a colossal dissapointment and you are assholes to the max. Your origin prices are a fucking joke.

It's the Same Fucking Game.

I'm a PC gamer and even I can't think anything but "Fuck that entitled prick."

Seriously, grow up. PC and console games should absolutely be the same price. Always.

I loved Crysis, so I'm in. I skipped out on Crysis 2, but if PC is lead platform on 3 I'll go headfirst.

Already? Isn't this too soon?

@jakkblades: Well Crysis 3 will be a narrative sequel to Crysis 2, so you may have to backflip into 2 first.

I hope it plays more like Crysis 1. I got for the Xbox and enjoyed it a whole lot more than Crysis 2.

Hope they develop an actual story that I care about this time around. Probably not.

This very well could be the case. But, I like the Crysis series so far, and will be looking forward to this one.

I think you meant a compound bow.

Loved 2, want 3.

I hope this is every bit as bland and uninspired as Crysis 2

Personally, I loved Crysis 2. Couldn't care less for the story. I just loved the gameplay, and the lighting looked so good.

@NTM: No, I'm being hyperbolic of course, but seriously, bro, I spent like 75% of my time in prone position in Crysis 1, little bit less in Warhead. Removing that just kind of removes a lot of the feel of the first.

As a TimeSplitters fan, this bothers me.

Same here. Make TimeSplitters 4 already!

I have to say, it really bothers me when sites post rumors like this in their news section. Don't get me wrong, I love reading about rumors when there is substantial evidence to back them up, but shouldn't news be comprised of verified information? And the worst thing is that it happens almost everywhere. I've stopped visiting many sites for this reason. Patrick and Giant Bomb have been pretty good about it, but then posts like this show up and make me cringe.

Wouldn't it make more sense to just have a separate rumors section of the site? For that matter, articles like "Some Thoughts on Molyjam" aren't really news either, and should be under some kind of other category as well. Basically, it's all good stuff, but I wouldn't consider it news. The word just seems to have a very loose definition nowadays.

Alex is absolutely right.

That bow is bitchin'....

And then exactly what? Where would it show up? Wouldn't it still be on the front of the site? What purpose would it functionally serve and do you think people would actually digest the information any differently? In any case, I think a listing showing up is news enough. In this case, Navarro missed the mark as anyone was able to look up the product listing themselves. I would classify that as news. It's not exactly a Best Buy page with name of unannounced game popping out of nowhere.

I actually enjoyed Crysis 2 more than Crysis 1, mainly because I felt while Crysis 1 had a great sandbox environment, the missions were a little too open ended for my liking and I never felt the shooting was very satisfying. The main draw of Crysis 1 for me was the graphics while I feel that I was actually quite drawn toward the gunplay of Crysis 2. Anyway, if Crysis 3 ends up being a little bit of Crysis 1 combined with Crysis 2, I can't complain about that.

So your cool with just paying for the costs of certification, even though the platform doesn't have a certification cost associated with it? That's like paying sales tax on something where tax isn't required and the retailer just pocketing the cash.

@InfamousBIG: Yeah, I used it a lot as well, and while it's just one thing, like leaning, if you use it to a good extent, you'll miss it if they don't have it in the other. I don't know, I just like using prone in games, it's another way to use tactics and can add a bit of variety.

@gaminginpublic: Yeah, that's exactly what I meant. I knew I got that incorrect. I was going to say tech bow, but I didn't even know if that existed or that was just something from Turok.

No one really cares about that outside of boardrooms, nor should they. PC versions are the best versions 90% of the time or more, it's silly to say they should also be cheaper. If the PC versions put more money in EA's pockets then good, more reason to make a quality port.

Great....just when I upgraded my PC to a good enough spec to run Crysis 2, Crytek goes and kicks it in the balls with another too-high-end-for-mainstream game.

So we shouldn't care about them having the ability to bypass cost cuts and advertently not pass it down to consumer level? And 90%, eh? So I'm guessing we're not taking EA games into this scientific statistic.

First-person shooters with bows?  I'm already sold.

God damn it I want timesplitters 4!

God damn it I want timesplitters 4!

Fuck, I was totally hoping it was going to be TimeSplitters 4.

All I want is that bow. That bow is going to make me happy with this game. SO fucking happy.

It's certainly appropriate content to post on a gaming site, I wouldn't argue that. If I were a Crysis fan I would definitely want to know something like this. So in that sense, I think it is something that should be on the front page of the site (or at the very least, in the same area as the news is located), I'm just not sure it should be lumped in with official game announcements and trailers and the like. And while excellent, articles like Worth Reading are even further from actual news, and are more like editorial pieces. So I'm not sure those should even be on the same page as those other articles (even though they deserve to be read).

I just think there could be a more efficient method of organization of these things, so that the viewer can get the information they want more quickly, by doing less self-parsing. As far as specifics, I would probably put the confirmed and unconfirmed news side by side on the front page, and things like the Molyjam article and Worth Reading under a separate articles tab.

I also want to make clear that I'm not singling out Giant Bomb in particular when it comes to this issue I perceive as "news clutter"; in fact, I think you guys are much better than most sites about it. Looking through your news section, I don't ever remember seeing any articles in the form of a question ("Is Angry Birds coming to Colecovision?"), and that's a great thing in my opinion. So I hope I didn't come across as hostile. I'm only posting criticism because I love the site and want it to be even better :)

Guess the second one sold well enough, even though it was pretty middle of the road.

BULLSHIT.

This is a well-crafted comment and it brought me many a pleasing guffaw. I'm serious, too. Also, I agree. Prone was what made the original great. (Also, the fact that NPCs could drown if you hit them with a sleeper dart above water.)

can you guys modify your forum hardware so links open in a new tab or window rather than re-directing you from the article you're reading. soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo annoying. People like me who have add get caught up reading the link and forget what the hell we were doing 5 minutes ago.
