I am a big fanboy of CRYSIS but is it me or does the main character look too huge / funny looking / bulky ? Look at the Wall trailer and he looks like a a more steroided out Schwarzennegr from Terminator. I know the main character could be or is Prophet instead of Nomad but he looks kinda funny / too cartoony. I thought Nomad from CRYSIS 1 was more lean and stronger looking character,
I think Nomad looks more badass then this guy.

Well the suit adds onto the players muscle power, maybe they are just making the proportions more naturalistic. The guys under the suits are physically bulky already without having a suit on top.

at first we all thought it was fat but now in the action of the vids it looks fine, but it might be a tight squeez in hose taxi cabs

If you look at real world Spec Ops guys they are not usually the bulky steroided out dudes you see in muscle compettitions but they are more lean and toned up. Yes there are some bulky dudes but most are lean and fast.
If you read some of the memoirs of SAS guys like BRAVO TWO ZERO you get a lot of the best operators being small and funny looking. One of my Army tactical instructors would tell me about the real life Delta Force guys running around Fort Bragg and they said you would see a dirt bag looking shaggy hippie type running on the perimeter but if they took off their shirts you would see they were in outstanding shape / lean and butt kicking. Special Ops guys have to blend in and get " modified grooming standards ".
My comment is just that the new main guy looks weird. He looks like the guy from CRACKDOWN now. He isn't the lean fast Ferrari but a big bulky cartoony mass. Remember the screen caps of Nomad flying thru the air about to pounce on an enemy ... imagine picturing the new guy ... it doesn't look quite right. The new guy doesn't look like he would be fast and agile.

I still maintain the suit is a robot

he does look like he could lay off the cheese cake around the mid section.

I'd go with the concept that the nanosuit 2 features more nano muscles than the original version 3-4 years ago. More muscle mass means more armor, strength, speed, etc.

It doesn't look as nimble and agile, but looks can be deceiving when you're all nano muscle.

Hehe he does look a bit tubby:D

I agree with Syridyne the nanosuit 2 looks like that to make up for how much stronger it is than the nanosuit 1.

I'm going to agree with the ones saying it's mostly suit mass, not the user being a little lower on the fitness scale.

Because when you think about it, the Nanosuit and Nanosuit 2 are big, bulky exoskeletons that have to store all the tech and hardware externally and provide full-body protection.

And considering that "bulk" holds the ability to toss cars, stop bullets, and numerous other extreme feats, it's bound to be big. And you have to keep in mind that the original Nanosuit was an "inferior" model than the newer, more powerful one.

From what I've seen of it, the suit looks pretty good.

+1 He is looks like a fat/funny guy.? think they want to show nanosuit 2 power with this way...Am thinking it wil lbe funny in multiplayer with this nanosuit 2 u cannot hide ur ass from ur enemies x)

Again I gotta disagree.

>> Because when you think about it, the Nanosuit and Nanosuit 2 are big, bulky exoskeleton <<

No the nanosuit isn't a big bulky exoskeleton. If that were the case Nomad, Aztec and Jester would all have looked HUMONGOUS. Also remember in CRYSIS 1 that when you go maximum strength or maximum speed or whatever.... the Nanites in the naonsuit react and go to the appropriate part of the suit to make it act. The suit isn't muscles ... they are nanites reacting to his command.

You don't think the main character looks a little funny or too cartoony / too mcuh like the big bulky guy in CRACKDOWN now ???

his Momma says he's just big boned
and relax dudes, its not like we are going to be playing a 3rd person shooter. and at the most only 95% of the cut scenes will feature a pan of his flabby butt.

I'd say the nanosuit is a combination of both nanites and nano muscle. For armor, the muscle fibers harden to take hits and flex a little afterwards to distribute the kinetic energy. For speed, the suit releases nanites into the blood stream to improve the operator's abilities, or help him keep up with the suit's capabilities. Strength does not show any nanites injected into the operator, and seems to simply amplify operator movements via muscle fibers.

It would be fantastic if Crytek staff could confirm or deny suit fiction.

so iv been reading what you all say..... agree here and there but....all i have to say is.........THAT GUY IN IS TAKING STEROIDS AANNDD HE HAS A NANO SUIT !! ! ! !! lol

oops ignore the random "IN" i put buy (THAT GUY IS TAKING STEROIDS) XD
