About Crysis

Crysis is an epic masterpiece combining the best of Science Fiction and First Person Shooters. It's the game everyones talking about, why you may ask, well, read on and you'll find out.

Crysis is the follow up to Crytek's first game and blockbuster, FarCry. Crytek has learned a lot since they made FarCry, they've learnt what was good about FarCry aswell as what was bad about FarCry.

So, what happens when you take the good, change the bad and then mix it up in to one big pot. You guessed it, you get Crysis.

Crysis will revolutionize gaming in more ways than one. It will give the gamer a whole new level of realism (thanks to the graphics) and will change what people call "immersive gameplay" (thanks to the gameplay and dynamics).

European Press Event 4 Years ago

Karma: 7

An european press event was held by Ubisoft, which was covered through the developers blog.

By René “Arres” Valen, Community Developer

A number of European gaming journalists (whose articles you should be seeing in gaming magazines and web sites right now!) were invited to view Far Cry 2 at the beginning of December. The event was conducted in our largest room, generally used for weekly team meetings, which was specially converted just for the day. This was the first time Far Cry 2 had been seen by the public since the Leipzig Gaming Conference last August. The room before the madness begins. It has no idea what’s in store!

The room before the madness begins. It has no idea what’s in store!

Phase 1 complete. Black curtains surround the room and the first HDTV is brought in.

Just in case you forgot, this is a Ubisoft game!

Coloured lights are set up to get everyone in the mood. “What kind of mood?” you ask? I’ll let you decide.

The magic of AAA game development: HD monitors sitting on regular printer paper boxes!

Huge concept art posters are brought in along with jungle plants.

More high tech game industry magic: the poster lights are actually our desk lamps attached with rubber bands!

Almost there…traffic is being directed.

The game is up and running…and kimi_ puts it through a quick play test.

This was kimi’s last week on Far Cry 2. *sniff* (I know i want to be in her seat

)

Catered food and drinks; because talking about awesome games is hard work!

The journalists arrive and are about to be treated to a never-before-seen demo of Far Cry 2.
