Ever since
Crysis released, we've found our life lacking in two distinct ways:
- We totally want a Nanosuit of our own and would do close to anything for one
- We wish Jason Statham was our squadmate in real life and often daydream about being stranded on a tropical island with him
While the second option is likely never going to happen without some jail time attached to it, the first item is actually a possibility for those willing to travel to Nottingham, UK next month. On October 29 - 30, Crytek UK will section off an area and create "a real-life tropical jungle, complete with exotic flora and fauna" for folks to take part in a real life version of the PC game. In fact, those attending will even be able to try on an actual Nanosuit and, somehow, become invisible while playing this real-life version of the PC title. Crytek UK's Narrative Designer, Rob Yescombe, describes the game as "
Hide and Seek for the 21st Century – good old fashioned fun but with a Crytek UK twist."
Who's going?

Mixing real life with a life-like shooter? That'll end well.

You are too paranoid.
The whole event is supervised by this Zaroff fellow,very famous hunter I'm sure he is there to supervise no one use weapons to harm each other.

classic literary reference tied to a post about video game hide and seek. SCRATCH ONE GRUB!

The most dangerous game?
SpaceFox @ Sep 28th 2009 7:15PM
Weird, I just read that story for the first time 2 weeks ago. When I read this post I immediately thought of that. Really good short story...

HOLY CRAP DO WANT
Anonymouse @ Sep 28th 2009 6:45PM
Actually... Sounds a little too much like Surviving The Game... I'm making the same rash decision as the hero... hmm
The Dark Wayne [Planeteer: Power of the Batusi] @ Sep 28th 2009 9:09PM
well, if you did it, Gary Busey wouldnt be involved, so you'd be a lot better off than Ice T
Mr. Manly ESC Mcbeefington Ferguson The Second @ Sep 28th 2009 6:36PM
That reminds me of something,some game that was dangerous oh well I'm sure nothing can't go wrong.
Discotheque @ Sep 28th 2009 6:49PM
Was it the MOST dangerous?
Bubbameister33 @ Sep 28th 2009 7:04PM
Jumanji?

Nov. 1st, Joystiq: All of the participants of Crysis's even have mysteriously vanished. Crytek has refused to answer any questions at this moment.
Nov. 2nd, Jostiq: Check out these new screens of the next Crysis game...look how real the characters look, and the blood! Look at the terrorized look on theif faces...they've really taken the Crytek engine to the next level.
AvA (ice~) @ Sep 28th 2009 7:15PM
you sir, win the internets.

So ends the house of Usher.
[ArchiGamer] [Live from Omicron Persei 8] @ Sep 28th 2009 6:42PM
Will it be in HD, cause that's a deal breaker for me.
ALBGunner04 @ Sep 28th 2009 6:43PM
Rob Yescombe moved to Crytek? That's great news. I felt sorry when HAZE flopped, especially after all the amazing promotion he did for the game. The guy is hilarious!
The Dark Wayne [Planeteer: Power of the Batusi] @ Sep 28th 2009 7:03PM
Free Radical got bought by Crytek, so unless i didnt pay close enough attention, most if not all Free Radical employees are at Crytek
ALBGunner04 @ Sep 28th 2009 7:05PM
Haha I forgot. For some reason, I still thought Free Radical declared bankruptcy and everyone lost their jobs. Good news :)
jynxycat @ Sep 28th 2009 6:52PM
wt...f?
Shagittarius @ Sep 28th 2009 6:55PM
I don't understand why all guys 'go gay' for Jason Statham.
Anonymouse @ Sep 28th 2009 7:04PM
You're implying that you are a woman.. But, as we all no, there are no women on the internet.
So that makes you a cyborg.....
Shagittarius @ Sep 28th 2009 7:05PM
And who was the star of Cyborg?
The Dark Wayne [Planeteer: Power of the Batusi] @ Sep 28th 2009 9:27PM
Jean Claude Van Damme?
JeezWhiz87 @ Sep 28th 2009 6:55PM
And I thought the original Crysis had high requirements. How the hell am I supposed to get to the UK every time I want to play? This is getting out of hand.
RobinEivets (Soon to be Crimsic) @ Sep 28th 2009 6:56PM
Yay Crytek UK...
The closest thing I have to Free Radical...
='(
ClarkyAC @ Sep 28th 2009 6:56PM
Nottingham???? FUCK THAT....
Just kidding
ClarkyAC @ Sep 28th 2009 7:00PM
Although it will just be like the games :D, guns everywhere.
The Baron @ Sep 29th 2009 7:28AM
I could use a nanosuit if i ever find myself walking back through Moss Side..
sony boy (6 years til sony man child!) @ Sep 28th 2009 6:56PM
didn't the sega cd do that??? except with shitty quality. if you don't know what i'm talking about watch the avgn's review of sega cd.
Fox318 @ Sep 28th 2009 7:02PM
Why isn't Big Download better integrated with Joystiq? There's not even a PC tab up top.
Shagittarius @ Sep 28th 2009 7:04PM
OMG OUTRAGE!!! WHERE IS THE PC TAG!!!
(This is the outrage I've been waiting for)
JOYSTIQ IS TEH BIAS!
...Really though joystiq no love for the PC?
RKN @ Sep 28th 2009 7:12PM
First thing first is to get developers to show more love to the PC, especially developers who started out with the PC, the system that made them what they are today, and now are completely abandoning it....Epic, I'm looking at you!
Sly (Now equipped with DS!) @ Sep 28th 2009 7:18PM
RKN, what does that have to do with anything that they said besides "PC"?
RKN @ Sep 28th 2009 7:42PM
Nothing, nothing at all. I just have to vent occasionally like the fanboy that I am. : )
Austinmus Prime @ Sep 28th 2009 7:36PM
Thank you, Joystiq, for showing me that I'm not the only one who thought Psycho was Jason Statham.
The Dark Wayne [Planeteer: Power of the Batusi] @ Sep 28th 2009 9:29PM
Psycho was clearly a bald Vinnie Jones
tori @ Sep 28th 2009 7:41PM
wanna join solid snake eat ur heart out i cant wait for them to bring a crysis game out for the console cant be bothered putting money out to make a new pc for myself to put crysis on high res
aerisplox @ Sep 28th 2009 7:51PM
i dont get it? so is anyone who shows up can play? or do they select special people to be able to go 'invisible' and run around in their jungle?
alex @ Sep 28th 2009 8:10PM
yaay i live hear ive never played the game before but ill get to wear the nanosuit :) epic
Marco @ Sep 28th 2009 8:36PM
See you suckers on the field.
Kiwikez @ Sep 28th 2009 10:32PM
All they need now is the Unreal Tournament Announcer.
"Headshot!"
DeoWulf @ Sep 29th 2009 6:15AM
It's not that hard to put on gray sweats and play lasertag in your backyard.
Blackmanfu @ Sep 29th 2009 1:01PM
... Might not be much fun for the Korean fans of the game
Glassneedles @ Sep 29th 2009 1:46PM
Score! I live in nottingham:D
