Wow. This is infinitely cooler than the Far Cry box art. They're treating the Crysis soldier with that same reverance and mystery that Master Chief gets and the first game isn't even out yet. I say "first game" because if Crysis delivers a full game of what I've already seen and played then you're looking at your next big PC franchise right here. When I first saw Crysis at E3 2006, I was absolutely amazed (you can read that story here). I'm hoping it will deliver the same experience we got when we first played Half-Life; that feeling that everything is different now. Those moments are rare. Typically I get that feeling that I've seen it all before when starting a new game. This could be the one, though. You've heard it's amazing, you've seen the the screenshots, but the skeptic in you says, "Wait until you play it." I feel the same way and I have played it. I keep telling myself, "It can't be as good as that all the time." Hopefully we'll soon know. If the box art is finalized then we're getting closer to a firm release date. It's slated for September 11 of this year, but it could still slip into the holiday shopping season. I've already upgraded my PC in preparation. Personally, I think this guy looks like he could put a serious beat down on the old Master Chief.
and why not? animated violence ROCKS!
