I've been looking forward to this game for a while, and this new trailer just got me more pumped for it. I never had the chance to play the first one since my pc was bad back then. I'm hoping it isn't just a crappy console port, and it lives up to the hype.

What do you guys think of the game from what you've seen/heard? Please post anything relevant to the game here like useful news, or videos. Thanks guys!

EDIT: Crytek announced there will be a PC demo before release!!!

I haven't seen or heard anything about it aside from "It will make your computer shed tears of blood"

I plan on preordering sometime soon though, having seen the ingame graphics/gameplay.

I've heard it is actually less system intensive than the original game, which I can run on my computer on High settings

...but I think this video proves me terribly wrong. Maybe the lowest settings aren't as hard to run now?

I really hope that voice isn't in the final game. That slide move looks really cool, though!

Yea I would hope cryengine 3 is better optimized. I heard the first game was poorly optimized.

It was relatively poorly optimized.

I mean, for having graphics no other game matched for years, it was pretty well optimized. But not compared to newer games that learned from Crysis 1's mistakes.

urgh I hope they dont overfocus on MP. If a Game cant stand up with his SP then dont let it have MP at all good old times and focus on delievering an amazing SP experience thats what these Games are actually made for to tell a SP Story not some MP Crap. MP ruined so many SP games whith the amount of Work you have to invest in the PvP settings so much Time better invested in more longer SP.

and what do you have from MP anyway... some ladder standing, some Equipment or Achievements or what not and I guess FUN the first 100 or so Matches that always in the Core Sense the Game stay the Same.

MP where you can never tell when a Game is supposed to be over once you have 100% so you can move on to the next on the list never caught my intrest same with these huge Timewasters aka MMOs like you can take them seriously at all lols.

I mean there is something to be said about Crysis one not lasting long at all due to the fact MP was god awful.

Anything they do will be an improvement IMO

Yea, I really hope the MP is good in this game...ive seen videos of the MP on crysis 1 and it looked bad.

you know, I read this as a 2 megapixel preview and was really confused at first.

Holy Moly is Cryengine 2 poorly optimized!!
Crytek has told us that Cry3'll run on PS3 and 360 without "much" detail loss, so they're really working on it this time!

That multiplayer looked awesome, everything the multiplayer in Crysis 1 could have been.

Hopefully Crysis 2's MP isn't ruined by bugs and cheaters like the first one was. Also I hope it runs better (you'd think it would, with 3+ years of hardware advancement and no visual improvement).

Armor mode is stupid, though. It needs to be changed. Also "midas touch" melee insta-kills in strength mode were retarded. Hopefully they balance everything out (I don't have a whole lot of faith).

Originally i was rather dissappointed with the game's quality and setting so far, but this trailer got me nerdgasming like crazy.

That sliding action looks fucking awesome!

I can't wait for the new Crysis 2 internet meme. "But can it play... *shoots himself*"

It all looks so beautiful and crazy. A shame nobody will be able to run it.

Crysis was a tech demo.

Terrible story, boring characters, and the same gameplay as Far Cry (which is a superior game). The multiplayer community is also tiny.

If it didn't look the way it did, no one would have bothered with it.

they said crysis 2 has lower system requirements than crysis 1.
and crysis 1 is 3,5 years old ... >_<

well, i guess it makes sense, when 5 year old xbox360 has to be able to handle the game as well. they said, the game is best on pc, but i doubt that goes further than higher resolution, antialising and mouse/keyboard control.

I'm glad it will have relatively low requirements, I mean if any game looked as good as Crysis 1 I would be more than happy, so this time they can focus on gameplay (and story, but I'm not a person who plays games for stories) Of course if it didn't look any better than it's predecessor I would be disappointed but I certainly don't expect a big improvement.
