Crysis 3 First Details And Gameplay Trailer

 Crytek today announced that Crysis 3 is set for release in 2013.

In Crysis 3, players take on the role of ‘Prophet’ as he returns to New York, only to discover that the city has been encased in a Nanodome created by the corrupt Cell Corporation.

The New York City Liberty Dome is a veritable urban rainforest teeming with overgrown trees, dense swamplands and raging rivers. Within the Liberty Dome, seven distinct and treacherous environments become known as the Seven Wonders. This dangerous new world demands advanced weapons and tactics. Prophet will utilize a lethal composite bow, an enhanced Nanosuit and devastating alien tech to become the deadliest hunter on the planet.

Prophet is on a revenge mission after uncovering the truth behind Cell Corporation’s motives for building the quarantined Nanodomes. The citizens were told that the giant citywide structures were resurrected to protect the population and to cleanse these metropolises of the remnants of Ceph forces.

In reality, the Nanodomes are CELL’s covert attempt at a land and technology grab in their quest for global domination. 

With Alien Ceph lurking around every corner and human enemies on the attack, nobody is safe in the path of vengeance. Everyone is a target in Prophet’s quest for retribution.

Players who are ready to start the hunt can pre-order the Crysis 3 Hunter Edition today .

Durango has 16-cores

Xbox World is reporting that the next xbow, codename 'Durango' devkits were sent to developers last month.

XBW's sources suggest the devkit is powered by a16-core IBM CPU with a graphics processor on par with AMD's Radeon HD 7000-series graphics cards.

A16-core processor would be a surprising addition, XBW explains: "It's a ridiculous amount of power for a games machine - too much power, even. But remember, Kinect 2 could chew up four whole cores tracking multiple players right down to their fingertips, so it'll need a lot of power."

XBW's sources claim that many developers showing their next-generation software at E3, "whether Microsoft and Sony are ready or not".
