    Crytek poised to reveal Crysis 3 project,EA ad suggests game will not appear on steam





    Frankfurt headquartered studio Crytek is building the third instalment of its blockbuster Crysis series, a growing body of online evidence has shown.
    A leaked, and now deleted, advert promoting the game would suggest that EA Origin has publishing rights for the PC edition – likely meaning the title will not appear on Valve’s Steam.

    Crysis 2 was removed from the Steam portal after an alleged dispute between EA and Valve over DLC royalties and rights.
    EA, which publishes Crysis games through its Partners programme, proceeded to exclude its PC titles from Steam.

    The situation is complicated further because EA Partners games are not typically banned from Steam because they do not belong to EA. Crysis has been the only exception to this rule, thouh the precise reason is unclear.



    Meanwhile, speculation is mounting that Crysis 3 will be officially revealed in a matter of days.
    Cover art and games magazine teasers have begun appearing online, collected together in this article on VG247.
    Last month at GDC, Crytek games director Nick Button-Brown said the studio is preparing to announce a new project in April.

    We all knew it wouldn't be on Steam.

    The big question is, will it be a video card breaker as in PC exclusive like Crysis 1 or will it be on all the 2005, 2006 consoles simultaneously like Crysis 2?

    It's gonna be pirated so hard if EA insist on it being Origin only.

    So from the picture we can potentially gather a few things.

    - Another urban setting, making the
    - Player character likely the one from Crysis 2 "Alcatraz", and not Nomad or Psycho.
    - Bow & Arrow as one of those weapons you probably get later on in the game. (a la Half-Life xbow)
    - Map sizes and exploration will be limited by the XBOX 360 just like in Crysis 2.

    Crysis 1 was epic, Crysis 2 was just… Crap. (I skipped 2)

    Let's hope Crysis 3 will be more like first installment graphic vise.
