When I first knew about FarCry I was so excited, I remember that I waited impatiently for it, telling everyone about it, I couldn't wait to play in that exotic island. For me this is one of the best games that I've played and the best FPS.

When I knew about Crysis and I saw the trailer I couldn't believe the graphics it had, but when I actually played the demo I lost interest, it wasn't as engaging as FarCry.

When I knew about Crysis2, I went and saw the trailer and it completely disappointed me, a city environment? I don't know.

I think crytek made a big mistake giving away FarCry to Ubisoft, just look what they made to it, FarCry2 has nothing to do with FarCry, it looks just like the guys at marketing put their hands all over it. Now, instead of leveraging on the power of their engine to render beautiful outdoor scenery, they just go and do this thing that doesn't even look well.

Sometime ago, someone developing a FPS ask my opinion about his game, and I didn't have the nuts to tell him that I though that it wasn't so good, and the game was a complete failure.

Well, that's my opinion, so what do you think?

You just made post of the month, seriously.

What you have said is exactly how I feel, 100%!

Far Cry was Crytek's best game by far, selling off that franchise is the worst thing they have every done. Crysis was only an average game because it was rushed, and Crysis 2 honestly just looks like flat out crap on the multiplayer side, the Singleplayer looks pretty good though, but not as expansive and diverse which Far Cry and Crysis almost perfected. Please, spare me this verticality crap, Crysis had plenty of verticality in maps like Steel Mill and and Quarry and the nanosuit was perfected aside from cloak mode. Far Cry perfected the jungle environment coupled with expansive maps.

Crysis 2 has been said to play out like Halo and Call of Duty by previewers and it looks like that in videos.. This series looks like it has barely anything unique anymore, and I am afraid of being severely disappointed, especially with the multiplayer... If Crysis 2 is a bust, I am no longer considering Crytek as a future purchase for me, despite having seen them mature and purchasing every single game and participating in every single beta/demo since 2004.

Take this thread seriously people, the OP makes an amazingly true point that has been bothering me for months.

I feel the opposite. Crysis 2 is shaping up to be the best game Crytek has ever made. In fact, it's shaping up to look like one of the best games EVER. The thing is, Halo and Call of Duty is successful for a reason. If Crytek borrowed some of these successful parts for their game, I'm the one benefiting. Because I will have a better experience.

How about we don't make useless assumptions about this game? Wait for the release. If you don't like it, you don't like it. It's that simple.

Be nice to have a demo to see if i like it :p

agreed. this says it all really.

and as for verticality, its something not seen in many FPS games. Crysis 1 had some very small segments where you could actualy go more than 50 feet up or down, and none of it was tactical anyway, nor could the AI react on par.

Far Cry 1 was certainly a good game, a little rough, but worthy.

I seriously hope Far Cry 3 is one of the 10 projects Crytek is working on right now

They sold the FarCry franchise to Ubisoft!!!Crytek arent making any FarCry games because they dont own it now!!!

They never did own it. They developped the FarCry game for Ubisoft. So Ubisoft is owner of the FarCry franchise and not Crytek. FarCry3 will not be developped by Crytek, that is for sure.

I haven't played Far Cry 1 (yet). But in spite of Far Cry 2's shortcomings and tireless traveling, I actually really enjoyed the game and thought Ubisoft did quite a good job with it. Of course, judging from Crysis 1 Crytek could have done a much better job I agree, but for me Far Cry 2 wasn't really that bad.

If there really is a franchise that needs some work from Ubisoft, it's not Far Cry imo. It's the Tom Clancy's franchise

I recently went back to beat Far Cry and I'll have to disagree with you. I loved Far Cry's tense gameplay and I wish Crytek would go back to using Far Cry's health system instead of the lame regenerating health system, but overall, I enjoyed Crysis more. Far Cry had a number of cheap point within the game where enemies had superhuman aiming capabilities and death would come quickly. Crysis greatly expanded the player's options with the suit and much better physics. Also, the stamina bar in Far Cry was annoying, especially since the player walks so slowly in the first place.

Farcry was really good, Crysis and Crysis Warhead are even better, but...
I think its a reall shame the story doesnt continue where it left off.
Personaly im not a really big fan of City Enviroments, But if Done right it could still be a really cool enviroment to play in.
I Really hope though that in Online Multiplayer we do get some really great Maps like Mesa etc. and not just City Maps.

That is only because of the technology back in 2004. ^-^

In 2013, the Crysis AI is going to look just as horrible because of the recent advancements in physics and AI abilities.

Its dumb how this is Crysis forum and
everywhere i go people are talking about
how everything else is better?
"Duke Nukem"
"Mass Effect"
