They’re Back…
Thanks to the success of Far-Cry, Crytek has become a well known and highly regarded game developer. Mainly due to its beautiful graphics, the endless delays in the release of Half-Life 2 also helped, the company’s first game became the poster boy for DirectX 9 and took the company that one step closer to global recognition. But now the game is on and Crytek have to prove that they were not a one hit wonder. So did they shy away? Did they try to downplay the importance of their next title? No; they decided to ditch their successful franchise and their publisher and to raise expectations even further by claiming they are working the first true DX10 game. That should have been enough to drop any developer into Crysis.
No, it’s not a holiday destination
Much like its predecessor, Crysis promises to define a new generation of gaming technology and from the first previews we’ve seen we think it’s right on track to do just that. The game will include many of the features that made Far Cry such a success, you’ll get a tropical island, open-ended gameplay, fights with humans and creatures but you should not mistake it for a sequel or a game that is connected in any way to Far-Cry. Crysis has its own story to tell; 20 years from now a comet crashes on the Spratly Islands, a groups of islands that actually exists and has its sovereignty disputed by China, Taiwan and Vietnam. In the game it is North Korea that quickly invades the island and secures the crash site which is believed to contain an alien craft and its technology. Enter you; an elite Delta force commando who is sent in to recon the site and discover what the North Koreans are hiding. You will quickly discover that humans are not your only enemy and your mission will gradually evolve to a save the world affair.
