Crysis Demo: What a great game.

[eye of the hawk]

I finally got around to playing the demo and man...what a great game all around. The suite dealy is fun to play with, the flexibility in which you can complete a mission, yet a fairly "linear" model is balanced perfectly, graphics are obviously stellar. But here is what impressed me most about this game because all too often it is overlooked: SOUND

I have a $400 set of 5.1 surround sound speakers and a $150 sound card. It always works like a charm, but the games that implement 5.1 (7.1...1000.1 now days) just do it poorly. You usually have dead spots as the sound transitions from one side/front to the other/back and you often just don't have much of a sense of where things are coming from.

In crysis though, a plan sound comes from my back left and slowly and accurately transitions to the front right, i look up and there it is flying by just as it sounds like it is. They did a hell of a job on this game...

IT wasn't bad gameplay, i just wish it was longer.

I presume you mean the game, which from the sounds of it seems to be some pretty clever marketing. When does the sequel come out?

 

[Cheator]

Not sure when it comes out, but yeah thats what I meant. I didn't know it was episodic till i finished Crysis

Yeah, Crysis is an amazing game. My advice to you now: Get the full game! It really is a lot of fun!

I don't have the hardware to handle it, but I've played the demo on my friend's computer and it was pretty impressive. I'm not sure if I like the direction they took with the "powers" or whatever they are referred to as. I think in the case of this type of game I would prefer the direction they appear to be taking with Far Cry 2.

You play it on delta and tell me it wasn't a long game.

LOL!!!

I thought the suit concept was pretty cool. Perhaps it has sensors that sense when muscles are contracted and uses some material that flexes like muscles when electricity is applied. Have a rechargeable onboard battery and you have super strength, quickness, etc. It makes me wonder if it's possible and if something like this is already in the works. I've seen pneumatically powered suits sort of like that but their range and agility is lame.

They kind of give an explanation on how the suite "works" during the intro.

 

[usp8riot]

The what? I think I skipped most of that. What can I say, I'm impatient.

You're right. I died many times on EASY! But I meant the narrative.
