In an unexpected move EA and Crytek have just announced that Crysis 2 will feature true stereoscopic 3D on all major game platforms. The action game will be the first major video game on multiple platforms to take full advantage of true stereoscopic 3D. The game can be played in 2D or 3D modes.
“At Crytek, we always strive to raise the technology bar. As the 3D revolution sweeps movies and television, we are excited to bring Crysis 2 to 3D, making it the first big action game to be available in true stereoscopic 3D,” said Cevat Yerli, CEO and President of Crytek. “The 3D experience represents a quantum leap in interactive entertainment. With all of the same story and action seen in the 2D version of the game, the 3D version adds another dimension of intensity and immersion to the action.”
Crysis 2 drops players into a devastated New York in the midst of an attack by a frightening alien species. The alien enemies are armed with deadly weaponry and exceptional sensory abilities.
The game is set to be released for PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 this year. Here are some screens of the PC version:
