Sorry about that, folks! You would have seen this story go up on the site earlier in the day had my monitor not erupted in flames upon loading the first two screenshots of Crysis 2 in my browser.
Perhaps I’m easily impressed by fancy-looking visuals, but jeez, the way this game appears in these shots is starting to frighten me. Running around a realistic depiction of New York City in the second generation Nanosuit sounds like good times, doesn’t it?
In the Crymod forum thread from which the pictures surfaced, “highly vertical gameplay” is briefly mentioned. If that actually means what I think it means … oh boy. My experience with videogames has taught me a few important life lessons, such as: “jumping off of high structures is never not fun.”
