Crysis 2 Preview demonstration;
It is crisis in New York
Not the kind of crisis that in recent years dominated the headlines, but a crisis that people running like headless chickens on the street, screaming, stumbling over each other. New York has turned into a war zone.
The streets are removed from everyday bustle. No noise of honking taxis, street vendors and tourists, but only the sound of helicopters flying over, rattling machine guns and the muffled cry of a soldier, where every last bit of life is squeezed by an invisible enemy: You!
The story of Crysis 2 takes place three years after the end of the first Crysis, and is connected to the plot of the first part, Crytek did not reveal how. The aliens who were on the tropical island at the beginning of a massive invasion stood their battlefield expanded and are now preparing to New York wiped off the map. The army does its best to repel the aliens, but New York needs more than that. The city has an alien hero with speed, strength and tactical skill, and that hero is, You!
Nano Suit 2.0
Much more of the attentions goes to the Crysis 2 Nanosuit. This suit in the first part also played a big role and gives you skills that go beyond the human body. Higher speed, resistance against bullets and other projectiles and the ability to become invisible. In Crysis 2 the suit is named to Nanosuit 2.0. Crytek has looked at how players the various possibilities of the pack in the first use and concluded that most players for a combination of power and armor were a combination of stealth and speed. The four choices for your nano suit from Crysis 1 were reduced to two: Armor and Stealth. These two forces are still to refine sub-drivers, making switching between different playing styles should be easier.
Presentation:
In the presentation that we saw was mainly used the stealth capabilities of the suit. On the roof across the street from Crynet soldiers were looking for something. The suspicion begins by implying that they are looking for you. The suit you have on to be exact.
Why the Crynet soldiers there are so keen to find you, were not revealed and some important cutscenes that would reveal too much plot were strategically omitted. What was left was a look at the graphical beauty of New York and scale of the battle area.
New York can describe himself as an urban jungle call. The high, imposing buildings gives the game a certain verticality with him that the player plenty of choice in attack routes gives, similar to the opportunities the mighty jungle the player in the first Crysis offered.
The artificial intelligence of Crysis 2 is again the same high level as we have known to come from Crytek. Invisibility was activated and was able to block enemies from close observation to be isolated as a simple soldier off. It was called the element of surprise lost a fierce battle was the final result. It was a good thing for Immortality liked the presentation because you come under heavy fire. Enemies make smart use of cover and are difficult to surprise. It was so hard that we were finally overpowered and handcuffed were removed in a helicopter.
The helicopter was quickly shot down by aliens and we do open our eyes while lying on the tarmac between the fragments. You yourself can barely move and left you just to watching what is happening around you. A group of aliens lands along the street and attack the soldiers mercilessly. Just in time now the nano suit itself back a bit to recharge you again to enable to defend yourself. With the grenade launcher from a fallen soldier, the player attempts to repel attack. It succeeds, but with difficulty. The aliens are a tough enemy. Unlike the first part, they can now walk on two legs. This makes them easier to estimate, but still worthy opponents. PC or console
After the aliens off, ending the presentation. It was short, but powerful and gave us a fleeting glimpse of what we at the end of the year ahead. So far, Crysis 2 exactly what we had in mind after the sublime first part. Also graphically the game looks extremely detailed weather with beautiful lighting effects and vivid environments. The version that was shown us, run on the Xbox 360, so we do not have the absolute power of the game on a PC with extreme specifications may contemplate. On the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 Crysis 2 pushes the hardware to the edge and tries to play every drop of power from the devices to squeeze.
Players need not worry that the PC version by the appearance of the multiplatform game undervalued, because the PC is still the main platform for Crytek. The developer could not confirm what the minimum recommended specifications for Crysis and 2 would be, but could say that the game time on more PCs will run smoothly than the first part was. Still get the best out of the game by investing a substantial amount in a computer that even NASA would envy, but also on the average PC, the game is a smooth walk.
It's still wait until we Crysis 2 for the first time on the PC may see the platform of choice to take us through the game entirely down to blowing its graphical power. All the elements we have seen so far, artificial intelligence, improved nano-suit and graphical splendor, try our desire for more. The end of the year can not come soon enough.
