The hunted becomes the hunter in the CryEngine-powered open-world shooter Crysis 3! Players take on the role of 'Prophet' as he returns to New York in the year in 2047, only to discover that the city has been encased in a Nanodome created by the corrupt Cell Corporation. The New York City Liberty Dome is a veritable urban rainforest teeming with overgrown trees, dense swamplands and raging rivers. Within the Liberty Dome, seven distinct and treacherous environments become known as the Seven Wonders. This dangerous new world demands advanced weapons and tactics. Prophet will utilize a lethal composite bow, an enhanced Nanosuit and devastating alien tech to become the deadliest hunter on the planet.
Prophet is on a revenge mission after uncovering the truth behind Cell Corporation's motives for building the quarantined Nanodomes. The citizens were told that the giant citywide structures were resurrected to protect the population and to cleanse these metropolises of the remnants of Ceph forces. In reality, the Nanodomes are CELL's covert attempt at a land and technology grab in their quest for global domination. With Alien Ceph lurking around every corner and human enemies on the attack, nobody is safe in the path of vengeance. Everyone is a target in Prophet's quest for retribution.
Something far more insidious than the Ceph and CELL lurks in the post-apocalyptic battleground of New York City. There's only one thing for Prophet to do: wipe them all out and take the city back. Read More »
The original Crysis was one of the most graphically intensive games ever released on the PC, pushing the boundaries of what most graphics cards could handle even years after it arrived. Crytek's continuing to live on the edge with the release of Crysis 3, which thankfully ships with a much broader suite of graphical options than Crysis 2 originally possessed. Read More »
Let's get this clear up front: Crysis 3 is a better first-person shooter than Crysis 2 in almost every way. Gameplay is more robust and varied, the storytelling is more mature, and it's often visually stunning. Unfortunately, it's also not very ambitious: it leans heavily on ideas already established by better games, and as such isn't an especially remarkable experience. Its reach might exceed its grasp in a few key areas, but Crysis 3 is still a largely enjoyable excuse to take a trip to post-apocalyptic New York. Read More »
Crysis 3 arrives in just a few days, and there are ads and flashy trailers everywhere you look telling you what's awesome about it. That means it's time for a reality check! Don't get us wrong: we're hoping this will be a return to form after a bit of a stumble in Crysis 2, and it's undeniably gorgeous, but what do we really know about how good it'll be, and what important questions remain unanswered? Here's your GameSpy-recommended dose of healthy pre-release skepticism: our five biggest questions and concerns about Crytek's latest shooter. Read More »
This new Crysis 3 trailer is being a little obvious. It's questioning the superhuman strength granted by the Prophet's nanosuit: "Where does the suit end, and the man begin?" I really don't know, trailer. It's not like I play videogames so fill the shoes of a mortal. I want to shoot stuff up, dammit. Now show me those sweet action sequences again. Read More »
