CryEngine 3 at Game Developer's Conference 2012

This may be relevant to our interests. (SPOILER: It is.)

If you don't care to watch the whole thing, I most cared about the following sections:

0:26 - 1:18,
1:46 - 2:24,
2:46 - 4:30,
and then from 5:20 on.

Well, yeah, of course!

Because you weren't paying attention the first two times.

Here's a better quality version that I just came across:

Okay, and this just in from nVidia! A very cool video demonstrating the updates that CryTek has made to the tools we are using to create this shindig.

The best part, IMO, was definitely the last thing that he demonstrated, especially the realtime update of the AI navigation mesh. Very cool! I bet that applies to scripted and possibly even unscripted terrain alterations as well! (As in, while at first there is no way across a gap, if a pillar falls because I shot it down, an AI can now cross the gap using the pillar because it's smart like that now, lol.)

Yep. All kinds of possibilities there.

The best just got better.

w00t. Yup, yup! Saw that when they posted it; should have hopped over here real quick and made a post while I was waiting for it to load.

They just recently posted the downloadable ultra-high-quality version:

(Right-click and choose Save-Link-As.)

It looks even better at the higher framerate. That is some fine looking vidjiogame.

Here's the Gamescom trailer for Crysis 3's new multiplayer mode, "Hunter". Color me excited!



Oh, and uh, those camo patterns on the nanosuit's armor are looking pretty good too.

Looks like lots of fun.

I think the reason we only saw them use cloak mode and only saw them use a bow might be that that's all they get. Kind of like Splinter Cell's "Spies vs. Mercs" meets Reach's "Zombies" gametype, where if you're killed by the zombie you become a zombie.

So if they have no armor mode, and no other weapons, and perhaps a limited amount of ammo, this could be very fun and intense! =D
