Crysis 2 goes urban

No more lush green jungles, Crysis 2 is headed for NYC.

Crysis 2 Welcomes You To A New Jungle: New York City

Not much else is known yet, sorry.

Oh noes, does this mean that now that they take the main selling point out (the nice looking jungle) they actually have to come up with a good story this time?

They won't have to; now it can run on consoles.

Those jungles required a lot of shader-power from the GPU, something a console doesn't have. But geometry (such as buildings) is "easy", particularly the PS3's Cell is well suited for this.

Lol, well, I saw a vid of the first level from crysis in Cryengine 3 on conloses... LOOKS LIKE S***...

The lods are horriable...

But the PC version... Havent really heard anything from it... I myself knew about the city stuff awhile ago...

Ya know, I liked crysis, It was a pretty good game, and for the graphics it had, ran pretty good. Story needed abit of work, and made you use abit of tatics... I hope they dont ruin the PC version...

Edit!

CE3 on console...LOL

Pc on Cryengine 2, sorry about size.

What exactly made you think that an console version would look the same as PC version to begin with?

Of course I would never even suggest that the console version will come close to the PC version.

Especially when it will be rendered at 720p

However, when Task Force uses a screengrab from a poorly optimised video (from the biggest Xbot on the planet, IGN) I can't help grating my teeth.

It's not great and never will be on either console but the least we can do is post an actual render output:

For the record, Crysis is the biggest load of poop ever. The only thing is has going for it is eye candy and (admittedly) the good physics interaction. God help us if Crytek ever employ story writers.
