EA confirms Crysis 3 release

Bow to the Nanosuit

Electronic Arts officially confirmed Crysis 3 today and revealed the "sandbox shooter" will explode onto shop shelves in spring 2013.

Crytek's third installment is set in a futuristic plant-ridden New York City, trapped under a "Nanodome" by the corrupt Cell Corp.

Crysis 3

Here, our protagonist, Prophet, must navigate seven treacherous environments using a new composite bow, alien weaponry and, of course, an enhanced Nanosuit. The usual revenge-based corporate conspiracy theme returns to form the backbone of the plot.

Despite the fact Crysis 3's release is still a year or so away, advance orders are already being taken.

Can you really be that keen on it?

The Crysis 3 Hunter Edition - which comes with in-game bonuses and an XP headstart in multiplayer mode - is available on EA's Origin service for £40. ®

I find it heavily ironic...

... that games featuring battles against evil corporations are being sold by Electronic Arts.

Better than Crysis 2?

I hope this is better than Crysis 2 - after all the hype I thought it was a let down for us pc gamers.

Graphically restricted to appease the console market, and with stupid console "guides" telling me when to press keys. Having been a gamer for over 30 years I don't need to be told how to play mid game!

Booooooooooooooring...

Yet another tired sequel - which, unfortunately, people will buy because it's AAA software house and it's what they crank out.

Too concerned on making profit and milking the cash cow to take a punt on something original.

One has to wonder...

... if it'll have 16 "unique"' endings that all look remarkably the same except for some pretty colours and a cut-scene or two. Isn't that how it works with EA* now?

* Yes, Mass Effect 3 is a Bioware baby, but EA owns Bioware
