Introduction
The nVision event has been created as a place for all kinds of creative minds across different industries to come together all in one place and show off their skill in their selected field. The expo ranges from automotive technology to animation in movies, and of course, games! At this years nVision people are attempting to break the world record, at the GeForce LAN Party, for the most people at an uninterrupted LAN party. Also at this years nVision the ESWC world finals are being held.
Crysis Warhead
At this years nVision, just as we did at GC, we're giving the North American public the chance to have a go on Warhead, on the level Cargo. Once again we're really happy to be able to say that the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive and the stand has been incredibly busy with people queing up to have their shot at Crysis Warhead.
Crysis Wars
We've set up a big section for Crysis Wars which allows players to try out the new game mode TeamInstantAction. We're running the maps Coast and Graveyard, both of which are great at showing that the suit functionalities coupled with our unique brand of vertical gameplay are a winning combination. The feedback has been good, and those people who have not played Crysis before were even more impressed when they discovered the Nanosuit abilities, saying that
"It really adds something to gameplay."
The Tournament
As many of you have heard by now there was a Crysis Wars tournament at nVision, just yesterday. 8 teams signed up for the 6v6 contest, to take each other on for the top prize which was 3 brand new computers After some very spectacular rounds, some of which were incredibly close, the winning team of 6 had to split in 2 for a 3v3. The final match had plenty of funny moments with lots of "Maximum Strength" punches and the runners up ended up taking away 3 brand new nVidia graphics cards.
Warhead Presentation
Yesterday there was a presentation from Eric Lagel (Wars Producer, Frankfurt) and Oren Douek (QA Manager, Budapest) took to the stage together to provide a large audience with a showcase all about Crysis Warhead. The people in the audience seemed amazed by the graphics, and the noticeable optimization made to the engine and the fact that the title will be launched so soon and the price will be only $29.99 has got people eagerly awaiting the launch of Warhead on September 18th.
Graveyard
The graveyard map is filed with some great open ground with lots of scattered tomb stones and walls that offer you some nice cover. The alien crash site has destroyed the surround part of the graveyard and formed a small crater. Here is where you'll find some destructive alien technology, but beware, you will be out in the open whilst trying to retrieve it.
Game Mode: InstantAction and TeamInstantAction
Time of Day: Midnight
Environment: Tomb Stones, Crypts and Open Ground.
Battlefield Size: Small 8-16
Location: near Kanoya, Japan. An abandoned graveyard has been the theater of an alien crash. Forces in presence must fight to get access to alien technology
That's all from us at nVision, once again it's been a fantastic trip, and we've really enjoyed it!
