Is Crysis SECRETLY a Bionicle Game? | A Comprehensive Investigation

[@GoddessOfMisfortune]

Now the next logical step is to contact everyone that worked on Crysis 2's art team, find out who is responsible for the design.

[@ryon5174]

If it helps, there’s a little note for Crysis 3 - Felix Leyendecker is responsible for modeling and designing the Alpha Ceph as stated in his works, but what’s worth noting is that the design was derived from the concept of Dennis Chan. Unfortunately for the latter, he doesn’t seem to indicate Crysis anywhere in his portfolio

[@chrisbent5734]

Oboe needs to contact Digital Foundry. John and Alex have good ties to Crytek. Plus, I think they are also both based in Germany - though I have no idea if Crytek even still is... Anyways, in my headcannon they are huge Oboe fans, have way too much free time at their disposal, and just need to cross the street to the Crytek-offices and ask the guy at the reception "If bionicle, though?"

Can we appreciate how cool the concept of bionicle tho. Its basically a robot universe with a backdrop of maori culture. That is the most original and fun shit I've ever heard.

Bionicles are bio-mechanical beings, not robots, but we all understand the point you make

[@Wepospalient]

I've always appreciated it's blend of fantasy tropes and elemental powers with more robotic, mechanical, and sci-fi elements. It reminds of like Avatar the Last Airbender but everyone is an elementally attuned cyborg.

What perfect timing, I was just looking for a Crysis review . . . and ya, perfect video. 10/10 just enough Crysis

[@exzyyd392]

Not only does the Alpha Ceph have a Rakshi head, that boss fight is literally just the first time the Toa fight Makuta What if Bionicle is the entire reason Crysis exists as it does? The helmets and biomechanical nature of things is obviously a good start but there's other stuff too. The story starts with the main characters, a group of warriors, crash landing on an island. The first part is in a jungle and seems to be about a group of soldiers fighting one thing when it suddenly turns out something else entirely is going on and then the next part takes place in a city. The main characters' powers are shown by physical changes and include strength, speed, shielding and invisibility. The second iteration gives the main characters an upgrade to their armour which is basically just an excuse to update their look. CRYSIS CRYOSHELL
