Crysis 2 debut trailer extended, with screenshots

Nice!!!

From CVG:

The sci-fi novelist hired by Crytek to pen Crysis 2 has slammed Modern Warfare 2 - claiming he was "immensely disappointed" by the title.

Speaking to us in New York at the game's launch earlier this week, we asked acclaimed writer Richard Morgan what he thought of the market leader in FPS games.

His frank reply was pretty, well, frank.

"I thought Modern Warfare 2 was an immense disappointment," he said.

"It was a massive stepdown from CoD4. What I thought when I played it was, 'Jesus guys, what have you been doing? You've not ramped anything up. The story is worse and the game doesn't really hang together, it's just a bunch of mission levels.'"

When we ask what it was about the story that Morgan didn't like, he continued: "It made no sense. It was totally implausible. It doesn't resolve. Basically, all the things that bad storytelling does. I just think they were way too impressed with themselves and that's always a danger. It's just unfortunate."

Games are often delayed, but it's not often they're pushed forward:

alien invasion of new york.. they're really pushing the envelope here

Everything they've ever created is lame. But it's pretty, too.

Crysis should've just been a sandbox game - make your own missions out of predator-style hunting

OOH! Preety... anyone got a copy of the original crysis they not using... :?

not with the Mechwarrior Living Legends mod out ;P $20 at EB at the moment, they have tons of copies at palmy

that would require going into public!

Crysis 2 has been pushed back to Q1 2011, according to EA's latest financial reports.

Woo, neat commentary trailer:

The fucking PC version better not have any traces of Consolitis.
