Saying that anything related to a Crysis game "looks good" is a bit like saying the Sun is somewhat hot, or that the Joystiq staff is somewhat attractive - true, obviously, but a bit of an understatement.

This latest batch of concept artwork for Crysis 3 proves once again that, even without a trillion dollar gaming rig and DirectX 30, the artistic vision behind the Crisis franchise is just as beautiful and intense as the finished products are. The swampy, aged, almost Venetian feel Crysis 3's dystopian New York City exudes is so damn pretty, we almost wish the apocalypse would hurry up and get here.
