Man... it's really weird. Everytime he tried to pan his view it was so sluggish, like they were using a trackpad or something... dunno what's up with that I hope they fix that.

@MassiveDuck: well, in that video, the big yellow "Y" button that kept popping up seemed to indicate that the demo was running on 360, so... looks pretty good to me!

I've always thought Crysis was an incredibly stupid name.  Yea, I know it's named after the game's engine but that just turned me off even more, making it seem like a game that emphasized graphics over pretty much anything else (in other words, porn for graphics-obsessed PC gamers only).  The gameplay here looks alright, nothing too exciting, however I did like the graphics and how it seamlessly transitioned from gameplay to cut-scene...more games should do that.

Looking really good. The action is frantic and the graphics are beautiful, good to know that was the console version. I wonder what the fps on the game is and what resolution it's running at.

Hmm.... game looks alot less.... tactical, than the original.  Still I guess even if its not a real Crysis sequel it should be a fun game.

Not liking the new HUD and fighting against the aliens doesn't seem as fun as fighting Koreans. The most fun I had with Crysis was being a super badass against lesser but competent enemies.  
 
Hopefully this game will still let you feel that way against these bio-mechanical enemies.

Seriously... Someone is going to have to explain why Crysis is so good outside of the graphics becasue that could not have been more dull. As someone who never played the original, I am however, willing to give it the benefit of the doubt.

I miss the jungles, but I like the look of the new enemies. I was also getting a serious Cloverfield vibe at the end there. Not sure if I'm excited for it, will have to see more.
 
PS, anyone notice how the camera hovers over the in-game advertising for that phone for a moment there?

Looks pretty cool. While probably not going to change the FPS landscape it looks like it could be a solid sci-fi FPS not called Halo.

Will be getting this for PC, hopefully there will be some human opponents to fight as that was a lot more fun than fighting the aliens - at least in the first game.

Console movement is hurting my eyes.
 
And you appear to be able to take a rediculous amount of damage here. Is he playing on "Absolute Wuss" difficulty or is the game just built like this, this time around?
