Check out the final installment of The 7 Wonders of Crysis 3, entitled 'End of Days'. The video series, created by Crytek in conjunction with director Albert Hughes, has been showing different areas and aspects of Crysis 3 in advance of its release later this month.
The End of Days episode is hands-down the best one yet, ending the series on a high note. Prophet narrates the video, talking about the people who believe that their generation will be the ones to witness the end of the world as we know it. In Crysis 3, however, it's up to Prophet to make sure that his generation is not the one to bear witness to the End of Days. He'll be using every tool at his disposal, from the Nanosuit to the deadly Predator Bow.
Check out the video above and remember, Crysis 3 is out on February 19th on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC!
Crytek has debuted a great new trailer for Crysis 3, featuring the sounds of UK rock legends Muse. Crytek didn't really make clear if this was the launch trailer or just something awesome that they put together using the Muse track, but either way it's a great watch for anyone looking forward to Crysis 3. We'd put our money on an 'official launch trailer' being released next week, in advance of the game's February 19th release date in North America.
Check out the trailer above as Prophet deals death using a wealth of brand new weapons and the familiar badassery of the Nanosuit. The song is Liquid State and can be found on Muse's latest record 2nd Law. Crysis 3 will be in stores on February 19th on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC.
Crytek has released the fifth episode in the Seven Wonders of Crysis 3 video series, focusing this time on the Nanosuit that Prophet is armed with. We've come to love the Nanosuit in the last two Crysis games, and it is something that really sets this franchise apart from other first-person shooters.
In the latest video, directed by Albert Hughes in collaboration with Crytek, we learn more about the Nanosuit, which is being billed as 'The Perfect Weapon'. The trailer does a great job of showing off the modules that players can use, including Maximum Armor, the lethal Air Stomp, high jumps, vicious Nanosuit-powered melee attacks and more. The Cloaking ability isn't showcased, but we can only assume that's because it has been displayed in many of the previously released trailers and gameplay videos.
Check out the Episode 5 of the Seven Wonders of Crysis 3 below. Crysis 3 arrives on February 19th, 2013 on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC.
Crytek has announced that they will be running a multiplayer beta for Crysis 3, beginning early next week. Contrary to the ongoing Dead Space 3 beta, Crysis 3's testing phase will be on all of the platforms that the game will be launching on next month; Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC.
“With Crysis 3 we are delivering the deepest, most robust Crysis multiplayer experience yet,” said Crytek CEO, Cevat Yerli. “We have listened closely to our fans and have evolved the multiplayer in Crysis 3 by adding a host of new gameplay features including the unique Hunter mode, deadly new weapons like the Predator bow, deeper loadout and unlock options, enhanced upgrade systems and more social features like the New York Feed.
"Top it all off with the ultimate weapon in the Nanosuit and you have a multiplayer experience that is unlike anything else out there.”
Crysis 3's multiplayer beta will feature 2 of the 8 available multiplayer modes in the game, including Crash Site and the brand new Hunter game mode. Players who enjoyed Crysis 2 will remember Crash Site from that game, which tasked players to capture and control rotating points on the map. That game mode returns in Crysis 3 and will be playable in the upcoming beta.
Hunter is something brand new to the Crysis franchise, but not to shooters as a whole. This is Crytek's take on Infected, or Michael Myers as it's sometimes referred to. Two players start out as cloaked Hunters. They are up against 10 CELL troopers, who must work together to stay alive until the round ends. The catch, of course, is that whenever a Hunter kills a CELL soldier, the soldier respawns as a Hunter themselves, swelling the ranks of the Hunters with each fresh kill. Hunters are armed only with enhanced Nanosuits and Predator bows.
Both of these game modes are playable on two of Crysis 3's twelve multiplayer maps; Airport and Museum.
The beta starts on January 29th and will run through February 12th. Crysis 3 ships on February 19th on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC. Check out a brand new gameplay trailer below, showing off the might that awaits you in the Nanosuit.
Crytek has released the fourth episode of the Seven Wonders of Crysis 3, entitled 'Typhoon'.
This episode focuses on one of the most advanced weapons in the world, known as the Typhoon. This beast is capable of firing 500 rounds per second. To look at that in perspective, the AK-47 - one of the most popular and versatile weapons on the market, fires at a rate of roughly 600 rounds per minute. That breaks down to 10 rounds per second, in comparison to Crysis 3's Typhoon which puts out 500 rounds in the same amount of time.
Staggering.
The Typhoon definitely looks intense and the recoil seems pretty manageable considering how much firepower you're laying down in such a short amount of time. Prophet absolutely deals death with the thing in this episode of the Seven Wonders so check it out below to see for yourself.
Crysis 3 is due out on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC on February 19th, 2013.
EA is offering a great deal for people who use Origin, letting you pick up the original Crysis and its sequel Crysis 2 for just $5.00 each. The regular price on these games are currently $19.99 and $39.99 respectively so this really is an amazing deal if you haven't played the games yet.
With Crysis 3 around the corner, it really makes sense to catch up on the story so far and what better way to do that then dropping $10 and playing through them for yourself? We could talk up the Crysis franchise all day, but the bottom line is this; $5.00 is a ridiculous deal for either one of these games. The only reason you shouldn't be picking them both up is if you are strapped for cash or already own both of these.

This deal expires at the end of the day, so don't wait too long to make up your mind.
Crytek has released the third episode of their Seven Wonders of Crysis 3 series, directed by acclaimed filmmaker Albert Hughes. It's been a while since episode 2 was released, so we'll get you up to speed really quick.
The series is being produced in conjunction with Albert Hughes, a man who Crytek pulled in to share his creative insight on the project. In the game, CELL has encapsulated New York City in a massive Nanodome. The world within is completely changed by this foreign atmosphere and has naturally been divided into seven distinct regions, known as the Seven Wonders.
In the Seven Wonders series, Albert Hughes delivers a creative look at these unique environments and at some gameplay aspects in the process. So far, we've seen:
Today, the team has released Episode 3: Cause and Effect. Check it out above and make sure you follow along for more Crysis 3 updates at http://www.fpsgeneral.com/news/crysis-3.
Crytek has released a couple brand new videos for their upcoming first-person shooter, Crysis 3. The first of these videos is actually the second episode of the 7 Wonders of Crysis 3 series, which they produced alongside filmmaker Albert Hughes. The first episode focused on Prophet's return to New York City, which is now encased in a massive Nanodome courtesy of CELL.
In today's episode, entitled 'The Hunt', Crytek is focusing on the grassland area that will enable Prophet to prowl through the grass taking enemies out. In the video below, Prophet makes use of the lethal Predator Bow as he stalks through the tall grassy areas. "No matter the target, Crysis 3's Predator Bow has a tactical solution to any problem you may face in the Seven Wonders of the Nanodome," says Crytek. This is evidenced pretty clearly in the latest episode and we're looking forward to getting our hands on the Predator Bow when the game ships early next year.
The second video is actually a sneak preview of part of Crysis 3's singleplayer campaign. In the video, we see Prophet and Psycho trying to escape a trainyard in New York City. The duo make use of explosive arrows in this preview, but the choice is up to the player. Using Prophet's Nanosuit modules, players can choose to go stealthy and sneak past the CEPH Stalkers rather than taking them head on.
Explosive arrows are kind of more straight to the point, however.
Check out both videos after the break and visit http://www.crysis.com/ for more information on Crysis 3.
