Crysis 2 Trailer Lets You Be the Weapon

Generic is the word that comes to mind. The aliens aren't anything like the ones in Crysis 1, those had emotions and self-preservation, these Borg/Geth clones are so frigging Disney: no identifiable face, no blood, no screams (just a light grunt when killed). Killing them is like removing weed from the garden, a boring and ungrateful chore. When you cleared out a base of north koreans in Crysis, you felt some accomplishment, you fought against enemies who had something to lose, not just black toasters who wade into machinegun fire.

Also, we've seen two Alien vehicles in Crysis 1, one looked like a gigantic tarantula, the other was a beautiful, organic Charcoal-like vessel, kind of inspired by the alien ships from "The Abyss". This new crap, with the frigging "Metal Gear" walker and those Gundam Bomber Mechs, just looks like "Mitsubishi Industries" schlock from some manga, it looks nothing like the alien tech from the first game.

Way to just throw out any unique flavor left from the first game.

SPAAAARTAAA!

Nice video but ...

1-. I hate when the demo is based on console gameplay. How can you be agile with a gamepad? and foremost why you make a trailer based on the horrible gameplay achieved when playing with a gamepad?

2- The music is horrible...doesn't fit with the atmosphere of the game...

3-. Why make a trailer based on the pixelated look of the consoles?

Looks awesome. I'm not seeing what's been "consolized" here.

I don't get what you guys are calling "consolization" or whatever- this game looks completely awesome, maybe even better than the first. FPS's are just as fun on consoles as they are on PC's (I'm currently loving the hell out of Metro 2033 on PC and I just recently finished loving the hell out of Borderlands for a second playthrough on 360). I'll probably get this for PC, unless I find out the PS3 version has splitscreen online and or coop, in which case that takes priority and most definitely isn't going to be in the PC version.

This video felt like an army recruitment video for some reason. The cheesy dialogue... the music... I felt like at the end it was going to say: "Join the Army... get a suit... you can have 'options' too!!"

to all the gamepad haters let me give you some info, I grew up playing Wolf3d, Doom, Duke3d, without even using a mouse, I progressed on to Quake and everything after that where mouse input was standard. I currently play and develop FPS games on console and you can be extremely agile and precise with analog sticks, sure you won't get 100% flick of a wrist precise aiming that a mouse offers, but a 360 gamepad feels perfectly naturally to me just like a mouse and you can do crazy shit with it. I will say that the PS3 analog sticks absolutely suck and are horrendous for playing FPS though in comparison to the 360 controller, but I'm sure I could learn to use them if I needed to.
It just takes time some to get used to, like writing, or riding your bike, or even adapting to mouseLook when all you'd been used to was using page up and page down in Duke3d.
I know you don't care, haters gonna hate, but I'm just telling you the truth. One thing to note is how easy it is to make or break FPS controls in console games, when a developer tries to simply use the analog stick just as they would with a mouse's X Y input you're gonna get shit feeling controls, some dev's coming directly from PC backgrounds don't even realize that they have 8-way WASD movement mapped to an analog stick- nasty, they just do it because that is how they did it on PC. There is a secret black art to getting your analog inputs feeling good and responsive, and no that doesn't just mean aim-assist.

Video look awesome, just not sure about having to fight the aliens the entire time...

yay for like 7 sliding parts in the video

[sad] I wish they made the TRON: Legacy game with this engine. [/sad]

i will get this for my PC

Looks like another generic console shooter.

BTW, it's def PC footage, I played it at GDC and all demonstrations were done with PC's and 360 gamepads. I was in the Xbox 360 Crysis 2 MP stress test with combattesting and the game looks and runs pretty poor.

This looks much better than the first, but I'm worried that maybe it's moved too far away from its Far Cry clone roots. That was my favourite bit, maybe I can respect it as a real game now rather than something just incredibly beautiful.

very very very cheese.

Looks consolized but that doesn't mean I wont buy it and play it for my PC I just hate to see most FPS games taking a step back instead of moving forward. Please Valve DO NOT start consolizing your games you are all that I have left.

Day one purchase. Need to pick up a 6870 before March 22nd.

Complaining about Crytek wanting more money (console market) seems pointless to me. The gameplay in this title (even with smaller sandboxes) may end up being better than the original.

<sniff> Sad to see such great possibility pulled down to console level. For shame Crytek.

<sniff> that was beautiful....
