UK event going to make Crysis happen in real life photo

Um, okay.

So Crytek has teamed up with a UK event called Gamecity Squared where they’re going to make Crysis happen. In real life. An area in Nottingham, UK will be transformed into a “real-life tropical jungle, complete with exotic flora and fauna.” People that participate will wear the Nanosuits from the game and they’ll even be able to use the invisible cloak. In real life.

What?

The event will take place from October 29-30. This sound really strange and we can all blame Big Download if this doesn’t actually happen.

Seriously, what?!

A Nansuit is just a big wooly coat and a hairnet.

The one difference is the plot to this event is far more interesting than the plot of the actual game.

My university is hosting a Quidditch tournament next month. I can't wait to see how they are going to pull off the whole flying business and what-not.

Hate to break it to them, but the UK is in no way tropical. At all. Hope those nan(o)suits are heated.

@Brannigans Law,

Eh, the plot was fine. They pointed at some Koreans and told me to have fun killing them in a badass suit, in some lush environments. So, I did just that. It worked for me.

I suppose using the invisible cloak means everyone's just gonna ignore you and pretend you ain't there.
