    *Resurrects thread with necronomicon*

    So some new stuff from an IGN article...yeah shut up
    http://pc.ign.com/articles/884/884351p1.html

    Released this fall if that hasn't been mentioned, you play as Psycho and the stories time frame is parallel to that of the first Crysis. Also huge improvments have been made to performance *cheers all around*
    There is another article there as well but I haven't gotten around to reading it yet as I have to get to work.

    There is a trailer on that page to which is packed with stuff.
    You see a new SMG that is being dual wielded and a new vehicle

    When I got Crysis I looked at the difficulty levels and on Delta, it said that the DPRK soldiers speak exclusively in Korean, so the typical gamer would not understand the orders they're giving to each other. I thought cool I always play all FPS games on the hardest difficulty anyway, being Korean and understanding what they're trying to do should give me an edge over other people playing on Delta.

    I wasn't annoyed about inaccurate shit like how they didn't even bother asking the voice actor to at least attempt a North Korean accent, or probably didn't even research enough to find out that dialect differences exist in Korean. But the soldiers said absolutely nothing tactical. The Korean in the game basically consisted of 3 phrases screamed over and over:

    "Yankee shekki-ya!" (Yankee bitch!)
    "Ku shekki chajuh!" (Find that bitch!)
    "Shekki jukyurah!" (Kill that bitch!)

    I guess they wanted the orders to be completely unintelligible to everyone, and in the case of native speakers, hilarious because it's reminiscent of white kids trying very hard to swear in your language with their limited vocabulary.

    Wow intercept, that's a great story. Thanks for sharing. I was always curious about what the Korean in the game translated to.

    Out of curiosity, how well does a game like this go down in South Korea? Given that it's about US soldiers blowing away North Korean stereotypes?

    That's pretty amusing man.

    Doesn't spoil it for me since I don't know a single lick of korean. I'll just imagine I'm hearing tactics.

    That's all they say really on english anyway.

    They say stuff like where is he. Find him. Yankee scum. Flank him. Etc.

    I don't know I'm American. I'm Korean by ethnicity. To my knowledge, I've never heard of South Korea protesting a negative portrayal of North Koreans in games. But as an ethnic Korean, I'm a little tired of seeing it because they seem to be the modern fill-in for goosesteppers (Godwinned) now whenever you need to create a game where there's a big international threat. I'm sure China is sick of it too.

    But at the same time, I absolutely hate the DPRK regime. It is without a doubt the most horrifying and corrupt nation in the entire world, so it felt good to shoot them in the game... Just a little weird that I was doing it as, presumably, a white guy.

    Arabs too I imagine. And the Russians.

    In fact, all those countries really need to band together to focus on creating they're own combined games line, where a multi-ethnic force of freedom fighters enters Mexico to release them from a US led invasion proceeding south towards the Brazilian oil fields. Featuring heavyset cheesburger eating fatsos blaring heavy metal music in their air conditioned, gas guzzling hummers. All whilst talking in Southern drawl and redneck guffaws (throw in the odd Texan "Yee-Haw" ). They could call it the "Axis of Evil Gaming".

    Crap man, that actually sounds like an awesome game. Somebody get on this.

    Man if you are actively being hunted, knowing they are saying "he's over there" or "flank him" IS tactics. Small squad level warfare like this doesn't involve complicated strategy. It's basically shoot this guy.

    Man, Crysis is so pretty. (Granted I spent 1000 dollars to play it.)

    Very much looking foward to Warhead. Crysis was alot better then I expected, thought it was just a tech demo. And I don't get the complaints against the aliens, thought it was fun.

    I was playing the game a few months back, but I was having some performance issues. I've got a quad core, 4 gigs of RAM, and a 8800 GT, yet I get frequent dips into 15 fps or lower territory on high settings and not much better on medium. Changing the resolution doesn't even make a difference. Playing on even the very lowest resolution gets the same crappy framerate. I don't get it. I have a good computer. I spent the better part of a month going to every technical help message board I can think of and trying people's advice, and nothing worked.

    As far as I can tell, I should be able to t least play on high with a decent framerate. But no matter what I tweak or what drivers I try I get a lower than expected performance.

    I basically had to stop playing the game once I got far enough. Really it's this kind of stuff that really throws me off PC gaming. I really want to experience Crysis as intended but I've already spent a good $1500 on this PC.

    Same.. Fairly top end PC and crap framerates in Crysis. I'm just going to wait for a graphics card that can really spank this game to get cheap and then get my revenge.

    I'm sure they did but the patches make a huge difference in performance, in the interview for warhead they discuss how they built a system for 600 and were able run the game on medium-high settings really well. They said they've made a lot of performance fixes so i can't wait. I didn't have to much trouble with the game to begin with but now it will be even better

    This was about 2 months ago to, before the new line from ATI and Nvidia and prices have dropped more so it should be a lot better

    Trailer Notes:
    Cool Shot of a Barge stuck in ice, which I'm sure we will go inside of.
    Rain Effects! (I don't remember rain in Crysis... Am I wrong?)
    Looks like we are gonna be fighting the Aliens in much greater number.
    More Hovercraft Gameplay!
    A turret that shoots exploding ammo. Or just very powerful bullets.
    Female Voice Over! (Her dialogue suggests she is in the Military.)
    Indoor environments, looks like a train station. Reminds me of Half Life with the trams and stuff.
    Grenade Launcher!
    Explosions! ALOT of Explosions.

    Kinda bad FPS, which is a little concerning.

    Awesome, but lame in that there will be overlap in Hard-drive space usage. I pray that there will be an option to just add it on top of normal Crysis, instead of wasting like 10gb on space that overlaps itself...

    The script and voice acting both sound terrible.
    "Time to earn that combat pay", "Let's just kill it!". Bleh.

    Seems like more of the same stuff in Crysis, which I guess works out pretty well, seeing as it was a fairly enjoyable game.

    Complaining about the voice over and story for this one is even worse.

    Like this game is "Play Crysis but as Jason Statham"

    The original Crysis I can almost understand. This though is the action movie spin-off
