Crysis 3 Clues

NeoGAF has a cover image from Game Reactor magazine suggesting a Crysis 3 announcement is imminent. Eurogamer follows up noting some further detective work that builds the case for the unsurprising news that Crytek is working on the next installment in their first-person shooter series. They note Eurogamer.de has found German-specific search results for Crysis 3 for Xbox 360 on Origin, EA's digital platform, and offer a couple of images that have been dug up showing a new bow weapon. A post on inCrysis notes a tweet by Crytek's Cevat Yerli with this intriguing clue: "Ah I am very excited, a few more days to go...stay tuned."

I loved Crysis 2. Story-wise it was completely borked but gameplay, the important part, was excellent. Yes the areas were smaller but the free-form tactical combat was still there pretty much entirely in my experience. The only thing I disliked was the busy HUD, but I think you could turn a lot of it off?

Anyway, excited for a third.

Just a question here: I've seen a lot of comments about the '3 activations', and then having to contact EA to obtain more. So, my question is, even if you 'Deauthorize this machine' by right clicking on the Shortcut, will it still count against the '3 activations'?

'theyarecomingforyou' commented that even changing you video card, which is utterly absurd.
And if you change operating system - either reinstalling or dual-booting - that counts as an activation. I found that out because I'm dual-booting Win7 and Win8.

As for deactivating a licence, there isn't any option when right-clicking the game in Steam, not is there any tool for it in the Tools section. I had to do a Google search to find that there is a tool to deactivate an install in the install directory under the Bin32 folder. It's absolutely ridiculous that activations don't recognise hardware (like Windows) and that they don't reset after a period of time (say a couple of months). As it is more and more people will be caught out by this. The game's been out for over a year, so it's not like it's even a big concern any more - anybody that wants to can pirate it.

Anyway, when EA sent me a survey of how they handled each experience with customer support I let them know how disgusted I was at my treatment. I won't touch any EA games unless they're on Steam, they don't have any additional DRM and they're reasonably priced. So I'll probably pick up Shank 2 when it goes on sale but I've already passed on Battlefield 3 and Mass Effect 3, despite the fact both games look very good. I won't support EA acting like a giant cuntsack.

Why can't they just go and finally make that Dinosaur game they were using to showcase the original Crytek engine?
I'd pay 60 bucks for a Trespasser type game with the engine.

Hmm...this was funny...

The takeaways: it appears we'll be staying in the urban jungle instead of returning to the jungle jungle, and, despite the higher-than-a-giraffe's-hat high-tech Nanosuit and arsenal of devastating human and alien weaponry at our disposal, bow and arrow will be our weapon of choice. Which begs the question: given that the Nanosuit in power mode is capable of super heroic speed and force, wouldn't we be better off throwing arrows at enemies instead of notching and firing them with a bow?

Indeed.

I liked Crysis 1. It was a major motivator to build a new system...after seeing how appalling it ran on my P4/2.66 with an ATI Radeon850. So I built BlackOmega and was happy. Well, until I realized I had built a box that was a generation behind, that is (dumbass - Spent good money building a Core2Duo box when the Core i5's and i7's were just out - duh!) So I built *cue trumpets, lights and angels singing* BlackOmega2.(A Core i5-750/2.8) And there was much rejoicing and killing...uh, virtually I mean. Going from an x850PRO to an HD4870 (and then an HD5770 (which are both about the same in power)) was quite an eye opener. And Crysis ran great. I didn't like the expansion, Warhead, though. It seemed like a step back in ways. Stuff that was destroyable in the full game wasn't in the expansion...huh?! And it just had a different vibe to it. I dunno, maybe it was me. I never did finish either one...lol...but that's one of my 'hallmarks'. I never finish games. I always play them but never finish them...lol...

When Crysis 2 came out, I cried bloody murder. Damn you, gaming gods! It looked good, and I thought by cranking up the settings, my system could handle it as good as Crysis 1.

I was very disappointed.

You may be an 'Odd Ball' Wink , but 'I believe' the consensus is/was that Crysis 1 and WarHead were enjoyed more than Crysis 2.

The ending for the sequel was such a disappointment. For some reason, it made me think of an episode of South Park where they were saying "I broke the dam!"

Crysis 2 was decent but the activation bullshit is enough for me to skip any sequel. I had to contact EA support twice because I ran out of activations (yes, even changing your graphics card counts as an activation) and had to deal with random Indians that barely understood English.

Fuck EA.

Glad to hear this. Crysis 2 wasn't perfect but it was still an enjoyable game and it looked great. Not as great as the original Crysis but at least as good as any other shooter out at the time. I'm also happy that they are getting a chance to make another one because if I remember correctly, it didn't sell as well as they had hoped, and we all know how franchises can be killed off permanently for that.

I liked Crysis 2, but I wouldn't say I thoroughly enjoyed it; definitely not as much as Crysis 1, or FarCry even. Overall it was an enjoyable and descent game.

Another sloppy release from EA though - rushed out the door before it was finished, especially for the PC. Typical these days, so I’m beating a dead horse……

I guess I need to finish Crysis 2? Honestly, just not finding it as good as Farcry 1.

Sounds cool, I thought Crysis 2 was fair enough if a bit unspectacular. I would like to see them get away from aliens and stuff though, those have always been the weakest part of the games IMO.

I agree Crysis 2 was a blast as an single player FPS. I hated its story flow though. It felt like listening to some 8th grader talking nonsense to look smart.

Yeah it's pretty nonsensical and poorly edited on top of that. I'm not sure if that's a translation problem or writing issue.

I did like Crysis 2 also. Not as open world as Crysis 1 was but I've had fun with it regardless. Which reminds me I better finish it before 3 comes out.

I finally picked up Crysis 2 over the weekend (for $7.50) and so far I'm enjoying it much more than 1 or the expansion (which I never finished)

The graphics are truly amazing, I hope 3 turns out just as good
