CRYSIS Singleplayer Hands-On

Crysis Singleplayer Hands-on @ Shacknews

 

Contrary to what Crysis' marketing videos might have you believe, your power-granting nanosuit does not turn you into an unstoppable killing machine. Crysis, like Far Cry (though hopefully not too much like Far Cry) is a difficult game. Using your nanosuit well is what will help you stay alive, not something that will allow you to trample over foes easily.

 

Phew. Good to hear. There' nothing worse than easy cannon-fodder FPS. I liked the tough difficulty in Far Cry, and I'm glad they continue this trend in Crysis.

 

Anyways, the screenshots are really amazing. I can't wait for the SP-Demo (October 26th) to see how well it runs on my rig. Either I'll postpone the purchase until next year when I upgrade to a Quad-Core/DX10 rig, or maybe, just maybe, my humble computer will run it so decently that I might get the game on release.

Too bad only Bokishi can play it to its full glory on releaseday

Far Cry kicked my ass so much in the beginning, before I got the hang of stealth and ambushes(Read: found the silenced mp5 and a bush).

 

I hope they don't have the ridiculous boss design of Far Cry though. I don't want to shoot another helicopter while avoiding swimming mode in a sinking fighter.
