I like all this 'what is a sane man?' theme going on. The story and gameplay can go to some interesting places. Also the potential for plot twists is massive.

Not really, after all FC2 had that Malaria thing going on.

Every trailer I've seen for this has made it look miles and miles better than Far Cry 2. Lookin good Crytek!

Crytek has (and probably wants) nothing to do with this. FarCry Predator, FarCry 2 and this are all done by Ubisoft.

Crytek wants nothing to do with FC2 and FC3 because those projects are way more challenging to make than Crysis. People love to compare FarCry and Crysis, Far Cry is more similar to Skyrim, Fallout, and any open worldmultiplatform FPS, development and performance wise. Crysis/Crysis 2 is a corridor shooter with bigger than average maps, and their budget is by far less strict and taxing on the systems the game runs on.

These psychoactive berries are a cool idea. Now, when you're on another fetch quest, at least you'll get some crazy ass hallucinations as a reward :p

This looks fucking amazing so far. Hunting or not, I like everything that I'm seeing...

...except the goddamn pre-order bonuses. Can we please hold those off until the latter round of trailers?

Looks like they're chopping sneaking out of the picture altogether.

So Heart of Darkness with a hallucinogen-slinging Kurtz? I'm down.

This could be an interesting examination of the use of drugs in combat for improved physical and mental performance, which has gone on for thousands of years.

Crytek couldn't make a good Far Cry game if they tried. And they did. And you had a game that was good for like a few hours until it devolved into a dull corridor shooter.

A lot of this looked like a muddy mess texture wise, hopefully the PC version gets a little more attention in that area.

Am I the only person who cringes at every trailer that apes inception?

The game itself looks pretty good. Coulda swore I heard one Mr. North voicing the main character too.

@AhmadMetallic: Crytek have already done Crysis2, so they should be already ashamed of their last game.

I can't tell whether I think this is going to be good or not, but that voice actor of the villain is amazing.

I don't get it. All I've seen is "you shoot people!" as if I can't get a game that allows me to do that since, you know, video games. Also your character, what personality he has anyway, is "douchebag".

Exactly my thoughts. Nicely put.

This looks weird. Hopefully it ends up being a bit more directed than Farcry 2. I want to blow things up with explosive and shoot someone's face off, not hunt for diamonds and try to plot routes that go around those checkpoints filled with enemies that respawn every 20 minutes.

Weird, rip off Inception music much?

Anyway, I like the crazy angle. I hope this game is good, these trailers do a decent job at making it like it could be a wild ride.

That monologue that one villain gives is still an amazing thing, no matter what happens with this game. To me that monologue is really good- even if it is kind of trailer bait.

2 was one of my favorite games in quite a while, hopefully this game doesn't just turn into Call of Duty style slop.

Not buying into the hype yet, but this is certainly more interesting than any previous Far Cry game.

That trailer had some pretty wild images in it. Other than that, it looks like another shooter game, only with very pretty graphic. I'm intrigued.
