Crysis 2 Trailer Preview

Well guys, we're nearly complete on the transfer to the new and what we feel much improved website. While we finalize some things I thought I would start by posting a short article. As many of you probably have heard, the Crysis 2 Teaser Trailer was shown in Time Square in New York City. How ironic as the game actually takes place in New York City as well.

The trailer starts by showing a beefed up nano-suit 2 soldier standing in the heart of New York City in ruin. Shortly after several helicopters fly overhead and are attacked by a new type of alien that are lurking in the shadows of destroyed buildings... and that's where I am going to stop and recommend that you have a full look at the trailer below.
On a side note I would like to talk about a couple things not completely unrelated, but more pertaining to the first game. We all know that Crysis was a top notch project, that really goes without saying, but it had its flaws. One of those flaws was what many called "unoriginal" environment. We all had a chance to go digging through a tropical jungle filled with realistic foliage when Crytek first released Far Cry in 2004. Many of those who played Far Cry didn't find Crysis setting to be all that different. No, it wasn't a sequel, and no it had nothing to do with Far Cry, however the feel of the environment and setting made Crysis feel like a second cousin to Far Cry in the sense that you were still sitting on a tropical island chain. Lets be honest for a minute, no one gave a crap about islands in Crysis. Sure the game wanted you to feel compelled to protect/save them, but realistically no player had any connection with those islands, it was an unoriginal and emotionally empty setting that very few if any players would really connect with. That being said the choice to move Crysis 2 to New York City should have an entirely different effect. It should allow far more players to feel compelled to protect or save New York.  Additionally in my opinion its a welcome change to the setting of Crysis and hopefully will make for a more interesting game. In the meantime we will have to wait for more information on the game, as Crytek seems to be keeping a close lid on the specifics.
