I thought most players hated the alien parts in the original & yet the sequel has even more by the looks of it.
City environments means no living breathing landscape which the original perfected like no other game has equalled to this day.
At least the destruction physics will be better than the Frostbite engine which just makes stuff disappear but aliens attacking a big city won't get me rushing to pre order
Not for me it wasn't, the open ladscapes and technology was the only thing that set it apart. Storyline was average, acting average, gameplay good but not exceptional.

acting average..."what the ..."
The game was pretty average on the whole, the most over hyped PC game of all time!..Half Life 2 is still the best FPS experience you can have on a PC. Crysis isn't even in the top ten due to its very poor performance on machines that should have raped it...
Sick of hearing how Crysis run on every G card thats released, the game was very poorly optimised. I certainly hope this next installment lives up to the hype of the first game, then we may have a great game on our hands.

HL2 was a scripted on rails shooter with absolutely no freedom whatsoever. If that makes for a "best fps experience" then gaming is in a £$%^ing sorry state.
Yes it has been confirmed for 'holiday' this year.
However it has an epic story and damn fun gameplay. The shooting mechanics are just plain fun. I think that makes up for it being linear.
Crysis is one of the best games ever made too, imo. HL2 and crysis are good for different reasons though.

I cannot wait for this game either. It is certainly one of the most eagerly anticipated game for me this year.
Open worlds doesn't suddenly make a game better. At least for me it doesn't. Linear storylines makes it a lot tighter playing experience, albeit losing some replayability (although I've replayed it around 7 times
)Crysis really is an experience when you can get it running on high, my 5850 overclocked to 1000/1500, has given me the closest to Crysis, all guns blazin, yet. The effects and movie like quality, when rushing in to a group of soldiers, or just say, rushing about in an intense firefight; are second to none in the FPS world. No open landscapes even in the equation, I am talking about, upclose and personal firefights. When you get crysis on high, with a "good" framerate, it really shines.
The story should always take priority over everything else. The only time I can forgive a lack of story is if the gameplay is amazing.
Crysis and Warhead were fantastic graphically, but the gameplay wasn't anything special really, nor was the story.
Crytek know they can do amazing graphics, I just hope they put as much effort into the story as they did with the new engine.

I respectfully disagree. Some of the best games ever made have little to no story telling.
However, definitely gameplay > graphics.
On topic I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed Crysis (perhaps a little rose tinted but it was one of the first games I played after many years of being stuck with a laptop that could barely run CSS) but the footage I've seen of this sequel does nothing for me.

They've hired Richard Morgan to write the story for Crysis 2, hes had a few sci fi books published (Altered Carbon was pretty good) so he has experience in the genre. Hasn't done anything in the gaming industry before though.
Interesting to see how it will pan out.
