I think they look better in the first game, seriously impressive for 2007 technology.

I legitimately thought this game was coming out in Q4. I had no idea this was out already. Great marketing, guys!

Just wait a year for the Maximum Edition to get released there. Your computer won't handle it until then anyway.

@rirse: The best thing about Origin is that it saves me hundreds of dollars I would normally be spending on these games! Now I can add yet another game to that list.

Much of Crysis 1 looks better or at least more consistent than Crysis 3, like the close up detail of the vegetation, but when it comes to the faces I don't agree. That face looks fucking fantastic, and they even manage to convey some emotions (though they are kinda inconsistent about that). At the scene near the end where Prophet says to Psycho that he'll cross that field by himself, Psycho's facial animation looks amazing. Pretty much looked real to me right there.

Graphics in this game are pretty sweet, I think I might just wait for the eventual Xbox 3\PS4 release.

Is something wrong?

This video disappeared from the site for a while and now that it's back, it's all stuttery. Is there something specifically wrong with this quick look video?

Just so you know, the first level of the game runs like sh*t compared to the rest.

Those rain affects are really taxing. Still, the game just looks better and better as you go through it. Incredible.

Gameplay wise, the next couple of missions after the intro are fantastic but it trails off a little after that which is a shame.

Definitely a solid game, about comparable to the second if a lot shorter (6/7 hours first run through with all side missions).

Yeah, Rasch' voice has the same problem as Hargreave, I think both are voiced badly, but maybe it's intentional? Furthermore, supposedly the voice acting in this is 'terrific'. Honestly, this may sound weird, but that training itself to me looked awesome, it was like a tron meet VR mission kind of thing. In the first Crysis, you play as a character called Nomad. He dies in a comic by sacrificing himself to save Psycho and Prophet. Damn, this game looks way better than two.

Can someone honestly tell me what the point is of Live Quick Looks where they haven't played something at all? I mean I'm just not sure what the function is. We're learning all this early game stuff same time as the Bomb crew, when ideally, it'd be them explaining stuff to us and pointing out things they've found etc.

Content is content, but this seems to kinda serve no actual purpose compared to what Quick Looks are normally for.

So was that cutscene pre-rendered ? The last thing I want in my more-benchmark-than-game video game are pre-rendered cutscenes. I can't imagine that wasn't real time... right ?

@slashdance: Crysis 2 had low-quality almost 480p looking quality cutscenes. It was the epitome of a "consoled" PC game.

No, it was in game. Seriously impressive stuff. That cutscene fluctuated wildly for me in terms of FPS and actually ran better than the actual game did once I got into the mission proper - definitely not pre-rendered though.

@langdonx said:

Because that just got released and costs $1000 which is a little excessive and wouldn't give people a decent impression of how the game would run in the real world?

Audio's a bit weird. Every time Vinny or Ryan or Brad speaks, there's this weird popping noise.
