Crysis 3: The 7 Wonders of Crysis 3 – Episode 3: “Cause and Effect” Is Live

The newest episode in Albert Hughes' The 7 Wonders of Crysis 3, a video series that sets the stage for Crysis 3 and gives us a bit of story, is now available for viewing. Be warned: Watching this beautiful video in 1080p might cause your eyes to bleed from the sheer magnificence of its graphics.

But it will more than likely cause your wallet to bleed as you try to shove your credit card into your computer or phone, hoping that it will spit out an early copy of the game. The video shows main character Prophet as he looks over the remnants of New York City and explains that what he's looking at used to be known as Wall Street. Then he gives a little background on the CELL Corporations actions and how the company made NYC, "its own personal playground." He goes on about how true power can be derived by understanding cause and effect.

What follows is an awesome display of badassery, played backwards, which shows us how Prophet got to that spot and why there are so many dead guys and a blown-up helicopter around him. And all of this is done with gorgeous graphics that make us want to take out some loans in order to get a gaming rig powerful enough to run the CryEngine 3 game engine.

Watch the video below and check out the screens, then tell us if you're anticipating a huge hit in your bank account as well, because you plan on buying the mother of all graphics cards for Crysis 3.
