Currently Playing: Crysis 2: 6 Years Later

The result of two weeks of blood and sweat. I enjoyed making this one, and I hope you enjoy watching it. Crysis 2 deserves it. I have to thank Raycevick or Cuhnadian for inspiring this video's format. I also have to thank game movies for making a Crysis 2 cutscene compilation that was a godsend for my hard drive. I may or may not have promised a video on every game in the series. It’s a good thing at the time of uploading, I’ve only got Warhead to play through. Crysis 3 is going to be a difficult one to write. Stay tuned for that. Twitter: @thelightiswhite As for the extra notes: This game had a slightly ridiculous amount of intro sequences. Crysis 2 has 3. 3 fookin cutscenes, not including the long ass recovery segment. You’ve got the prototype style city is going to hell compilation, then the character introductions, then the badass intro we all came for. With totally jarring cuts in between each. Personally, I’d remove the prototype stuff, and have the badass intro come right off the character building. Crysis 2 deserves every GOTY award just for using the word catalyst correctly. Poor tutorialisation of maximum armour. The game tells you it’s for surviving explosions, and while that’s true, it never gives the impression that it’s much good against small arms. Cloak is done much better. The player will assume that cloak is the best option for traversing levels, but in reality, guns blazing is just as good. Armour is highly effective against every attack cells or low level ceph has, and it’s use is pretty much necessary for survival. Pacing is fucking great. You get the slow and steady build up at the start with getting to gould, then the set up and mystery with the aliens and hargreave, then the balls to the walls military action with Barclay. Dual wielding is absent. Why? Don’t know. Seems like a pointless removal. The m12 nova is the basic pistol, and it is utterly useless due to the lack of dual wielding. The Hammer and Majestic seem just fine on their own though. (END OF NOTES) Music I think went really well in this video. Unsurprisingly, it’s a big help when a game’s soundtrack is that damn good. But this was a 50 minutes video, so that meant half the soundtrack needed to sound cool AND fit what I was talking about. That meant I needed to repeat tracks and use remixes or covers I found off youtube. The piano cover of Crysis 2’s theme comes from DuskPiano. The original cover link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDxWSg5knFk And the synthesia version you heard in the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyk-tRJ8KYE The hip hop beat version that people have actually rapped to comes from Endi.

Links to stuff straight from the ost: Main theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iy4iQvJo24U What are you prepared to sacrifice? This is from Crysis 3, Slavov made a much more emotional OST and I think it fit in well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XcYFsK8R9k New York Memories (Also from Crysis 3): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UF4GS6BJNpk Under Siege: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSLM_pi_Olo. I think I overused this one. SOS New York: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vnCp6c8F4K4. This is the dramatic one from the intro. Nanosuit 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iA_lwFaSLAY Nano catalyst and Prophet’s journey: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXbQUJbckZM. This is from the second dramatic transition. Rampage suite: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TOTnGG_RWR8. I used this for a tiny section after the plot summary. That covers it.
