Crysis LIVE! aims to bring the game into the real world

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.

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

And the award for Classic Literature Reference in a Video Game Blog goes to.....

Manly!

The most dangerous game?

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

Actually... Sounds a little too much like Surviving The Game... I'm making the same rash decision as the hero... hmm

well, if you did it, Gary Busey wouldnt be involved, so you'd be a lot better off than Ice T

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.

you sir, win the internets.

So ends the house of Usher.

Will it be in HD, cause that's a deal breaker for me.

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!

Free Radical got bought by Crytek, so unless i didnt pay close enough attention, most if not all Free Radical employees are at Crytek

Haha I forgot. For some reason, I still thought Free Radical declared bankruptcy and everyone lost their jobs. Good news :)

Was it the MOST dangerous?

wt...f?

I don't understand why all guys 'go gay' for Jason Statham.

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.....

And who was the star of Cyborg?

Jean Claude Van Damme?

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.

Yay Crytek UK...

The closest thing I have to Free Radical...

='(

Nottingham???? FUCK THAT....

Just kidding

Although it will just be like the games :D, guns everywhere.

I could use a nanosuit if i ever find myself walking back through Moss Side..

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.

Why isn't Big Download better integrated with Joystiq? There's not even a PC tab up top.

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?

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!

RKN, what does that have to do with anything that they said besides "PC"?

Nothing, nothing at all. I just have to vent occasionally like the fanboy that I am. : )

Jumanji?

Zathura?

Thank you, Joystiq, for showing me that I'm not the only one who thought Psycho was Jason Statham.

Psycho was clearly a bald Vinnie Jones

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

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?

yaay i live hear ive never played the game before but ill get to wear the nanosuit :) epic

Bondage?

See you suckers on the field.

Russian Roulette?

All they need now is the Unreal Tournament Announcer.

"Headshot!"

Hungry Hungry Hippos.

It's not that hard to put on gray sweats and play lasertag in your backyard.

Twister... with lions

... Might not be much fun for the Korean fans of the game

Score! I live in nottingham:D
