History VideoGame / Crysis

* AdaptationalBadass: In ''Crysis: Remastered'', General Kyong's A.I. has been improved to make the fight with him more of a dynamic boss fight. He can now jump between levels, allowing him to run around the entire arena instead of being limited to the upper platform, and can now use Speed Mode to FlashStep. This is actually a carry-over from the Xbox 360[=/=]Playstation 3 port of the game (on which ''Crysis: Remastered'' seems to be based), where the improvements to his A.I. were originally made (the main difference being he would use cloak mode to teleport instead of using speed mode).

** Crysis 2 has a good explanation for this-it's revealed that [[spoiler:the suit was originally made with the intention fighting the aliens all along.]]

A remaster of the original game, entitled ''Crysis Remastered'', is planned for a Summer 2020 release for the UsefulNotes/PlayStation4, UsefulNotes/XboxOne, UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch, and PC.

[[TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture In the year 2020]], an alien structure has been found buried in an island in the South China sea. The US army sends Raptor Team, a group of Delta Force soldiers equipped with multi-functional [[PoweredArmor Nanosuits]], including the PlayerCharacter Jake "Nomad" Dunn, to rescue the archaeologists who found it and then were taken captive by North Korean forces. However, the aliens are not friendly to either side and Nomad must combat both the North Koreans and the aliens.

*** Just Alcatraz in general is one hell of a snarker so prolific that you could fill several pages with quotes alone.

** [[spoiler: '''Alcatraz:''' Just another reminder that I’m never alone in here. What I am, and what I was, and whatever this damn armor thinks it is. Heh. We are [[TitleDrop legion]].]]

** [[spoiler: '''Alcatraz:''' The Ceph are everywhere. So are CELL, and it really doesn’t matter whether they heard Hargreave’s last orders or not; we’re all just animals in a forest fire now, all just trying to keep ahead of the flames, and there’s no predators and no prey when you’re all about to be burned alive. We run like hell; we shoot at Squids when they get in our way.]]
** [[spoiler: '''Alcatraz:''' The elevator turns out to be right where the bridge crosses the eastern edge of the island. Three CELL are crowded around the lower doors when I arrive, repeatedly stabbing the call button. They bring up their weapons the moment they catch sight of me; I bring up mine. We stand there waving our dicks at each other, wondering about appropriate battlefield etiquette at times like these. Countdown Girl says two minutes. The elevator arrives. We pile in. Someone pushes UP, again and again and again. Someone else pushes CLOSE DOORS.]]

** [[spoiler: "Just another reminder that I’m never alone in here. What I am, and what I was, and whatever this damn armor thinks it is. Heh. We are [[TitleDrop legion]]".]]

*** [[spoiler: "To hear the brochure tell it, you just put on the N2 and hit the ground at sixty, invisible and invulnerable, world without end a-fucking-men. But all those bells and whistles take power - and the suit may be a hundred years ahead of its time, but the batteries? Let me tell you, sometimes it feels like this thing’s running on a couple of triple-A’s."]]

* AlienInvasion: [[spoiler: They came here long, ''long'' before humans existed, and whatever they're doing, it looks like an invasion only from ''our'' perspective. It might be more accurate to think of it as ''pruning'' or [[Series/DoctorWho pest control]]]].

** In the comic, Prophet points out that the CIA has ''never'' produced good intelligence when it really counted; [[TheGreatPoliticsMessUp the fall of the Berlin Wall]], [[TheWarOnTerror 9/11]], the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arab_Spring Arab Spring]], the "[[FamousFamousFictional Darien Resurgence]]." Them mistaking a fucking ''AlienInvasion'' for an attempt by Hargreave to overthrow the United States (assisted by the North Koreans, who did nothing on Lingshan but make things ''worse'') does not surprise him. Considering ''that'', he should have realized that the CIA has WrongGenreSavvy as its ''religion'' and would start [[ColdBloodedTorture torturing]] them until [[InterrogatedForNothing they heard something they wanted to hear.]]

* FirstEpisodeSpoiler: Like the opening narration from ''Film/BladeRunner'', Prophet's opening monologue reveals[=/=]spoils a lot of details that would otherwise have emerged quite organically over the course of the story; namely, CELL took over the world after ''Crysis 2'', and the Alpha Ceph is the BigBad of the series.

* SuperDrowningSkills: Which the NK possess.

** NK Special Forces in the first game, especially those that are wearing Nanosuits. Even the non-Nanosuit wearing ones have better aim and always come equipped with body armor, grenades, and silenced weapons with laser sights.

* HeavilyArmoredMook: Downplayed with [=CELL=] commanders and heavy weapon troopers in the second and third games. They wear black-colored improved armor compared to the regular troops, but all that means is that they can withstand 1 or 2 more assault rifle bullets or (barely) survive 1 sniper rifle shot to the torso.

* SculptedPhysique: The Nanosuits.

* SemperFi: All of the American soldiers in the first game (bar the Nanosuit users) are Marines, including the aforementioned Major Strickland. Played with in ''Crysis 2'' a few times:

* SoftwarePorting:

* SuperpoweredMooks: The NK soldiers in nano-suits. Nomad quips that they're cheap knockoffs, although other than a lack of Speed Mode and fairly average enemy A.I., they don't seem all that different from your own suit. In multiplayer, the US and Korean Nanosuits are [[PVPBalanced identical for fairness reasons.]]

& AnIcePerson: the [[spoiler: Ceph]] in the first game. They can only survive in very low temperatures unless they have biosuits, and all their weapons shoot ice or freeze stuff.
