A next-generation project by CryTek, makers of the dazzling FPS
Far Cry. This game is running on the new CryENGINE 2 technology. The game is one of the the first announced to run on the advanced DirectX 10 architecture.
Set in 2019 after a colossal asteroid crashes to Earth, Crysis begins
amidst a tense military standoff between the North Korean and United
States governments for control of the impact zone. Amid rising tensions,
the asteroid suddenly bursts open revealing a massive alien ship, which
begins freezing vast portions of the island and altering the global weather
system. The invasion of Earth has begun. Crysis features an epics three-act
story of alien invasion where players are able to customize their armor
and weapons in real time to confront an ever-changing enemy and a
harsh, dynamic environment.
In un futuro non troppo lontano, un enorme meteorite si sta
dirigendo verso la terra. Nella speranza di evitare al genere umano il
destino toccato ai dinosauri, gli Stati Uniti lanciano una poderosa
salva ( 
) di missili nucleari contro l' asteroide, ormai troppo vicino al
nostro pianetino. - GMC -
Lo sparatutto più atteso del momento ha fatto la sua
apparizione anche a Lipsia e la novità è che, questa volta, abbiamo
potuto vedere anche qualche sessione di gioco in multiplayer.
Crysis conferma, anche in multi, quanto di ottimo avevamo visto
all' E3 quanto a dettaglio grafico: acqua, vegetazione, esplosioni,
texture .... tutto è realizzato con una qualità (attualmente)
impareggiabile.
Il gioco può vantare di mappe enormi in grado di sopportare diverse
dozzine di giocatori contemporaneamente ed una struttura che premia il
posizionamento strategico e l' azione coordinata.
I veicoli abbondano ed è prevista la possibilità di conquistare
stabilimenti di produzione di mezzi o di acquistare, tramite il PDA
di cui è in possesso il nostro personaggio, armi, protezioni e
nano-tecnologie aggiuntive.
Gennaio si avvicina e Crysis sembra destinato a essere
un must assoluto, anche in multiplayer. -

The first-person shooter genre could be in for a very big wake-up call
when Crysis debuts. The sophomore effort from Germany's Crytek is one of
the biggest games on the horizon, thanks to the impressive screen shots
released thus far and the reputation the company has earned from the
superb Far Cry. As we covered in our last preview, the designers at
Crytek want to create a game with a story that's as flexible and advanced
as the cutting-edge graphics engine that powers it. In other words, you'll
be able to go through the game in different ways instead of experiencing a
rigidly linear storyline like that found in so many other first-person shooter
campaigns. However, another goal of the design team is to create a
believable and dynamic environment to battle in. The graphics in Crysis
aren't just there for eye candy, as the game's physics engine means that
everything behaves like it should, even when the conditions change
drastically. Please note: this preview story may contain minor spoilers of
some of the story elements in Crysis.
In Crysis, you'll play as Jake Dunn, a member of a US Special Forces team
that is sent to a remote Pacific island after a mysterious object lands on
it. Unfortunately, the North Korean military secures the island first, so
your mission will be to infiltrate and investigate what's going on. However,
you'll quickly discover that events will spiral dangerously out of control, as
the meteor is actually an extraterrestrial spacecraft full of aliens that
don't want us to take them to our leader. Instead, they want to wipe us
out.
When you first arrive on the island, you'll discover a tropical paradise not
unlike that seen in Far Cry. Giant palms sway in the wind, the sun burns
brightly in the sky, and the jungle can be used for concealment from the
North Korean soldiers who patrol the island. The first chapter of the game
will require you to participate in what could best be described as guerilla
warfare. You'll recon the island, choosing to ambush or bypass North
Korean forces. This part of the game should feel quite a bit like Far Cry,
Crytek's first game. Far Cry also had you crawling around a jungle while
ambushing (and being ambushed by) foes, and one of the cool features
about that game was that you could choose how you navigated through
the gigantic levels. You could blitz your way across and engage enemies in
a running firefight, or you could take the long way around and remain
invisible.
This all changes when the aliens finally announce their presence by flash
freezing the island. The designers told us that they went through
hundreds of designs for the single alien race, with the goal of creating
something truly alien. While the aliens themselves remain a mystery for
now, we do know that their goal is to turn Earth into a frozen world, and
that's why they're messing with the global weather system. Their first
step, however, is to freeze the island that you'll be fighting on.
In a lot of games, "frozen" usually means that the ground textures are
painted white instead of brown to convey the sense of snow. Otherwise,
not much else has changed in those games. That's not going to be the
case in Crysis. Thanks to the game's impressive physics engine, the cold
will have significant effects on the gameplay, as well as the tactics that
you'll want to employ to survive.
For one, the lush jungle that you battled in during the first chapter in the
game is now frozen. That changes the properties of the vegetation, and
branches will no longer bend if you brush by them. Previously, you could
detect an enemy by observing how the vegetation in the distance reacts
to their passage, but now that won't be the case. Even worse, frozen
objects have a tendency to shatter, so the environment is suddenly a lot
more brittle--and harder to sneak around in because of the noisy
shattering ice--than before.
You'll also discover that some of your weapons and equipment won't work
as well as before, since mechanical items tend to have problems when
dealing with brutally cold temperatures. This may require you to adapt
your tactics to using what works. Thankfully, the aliens, being cold-lovers,
have an aversion to fire, so it makes sense that you'll want to rely on
incendiary weapons to take them on.
The aliens use cold as a weapon, as well. They may attempt to ice you
with their freeze ray. You'll become frozen in place if you're hit by the ray,
and you'll see the ice build up around your body. Thankfully, you have
your state-of-the-art nano suit to help you break out of the ice. The
nano suit can be configured to your tactical needs. If you need to move
faster, you can dump power into the suit's speed to get a boost. If you
need more strength to move a heavy object, lift a heavy weapon, or
shatter ice, then direct the suit's power to augment your strength. This
flexibility means that you can tackle different tactical situations in a
number of ways. You could stick around and fight it out or try and flee to
escape your pursuers.
Of course, your tactics will have to change again when you get to the
final part of the game, which takes place in zero gravity. This happens
after you battle your way to the aliens' vessel and discover that it has
some exotic properties. Unfortunately, that's all Crytek was willing to tell
us, as the rest of the final chapter is remaining a tightly kept secret for
now. Still, it's clear that Crysis is a game that will keep you on your toes,
as your tactics will need to adapt to all the different environments the
game throws at you. Crysis is scheduled to ship this winter. -

Questo è uno dei giochi che attendo di più, speriamo non deluda le aspettative perchè mi ispira un casino... Non vedo l'ora di poterlo giocare, ma uscirà nel 2007 allora? Io pensavo che uscisse per la fine dell'anno corrente, ad ogni modo dovrò sicuramente aggiornare il pc 
speriamo in bene!
