A new Crysis 3 video from developer Crytek lets you choose how the gameplay demo it shows will play out.

A new Crysis 3 video from developer Crytek lets you choose how the gameplay demo it shows will play out.

The demo takes place in the urban jungle of New York, and provides protagonist Prophet — and you — with two options, thanks to YouTube annotations. You can watch him use his silent crossbow to take down soldiers as a cloaked ghost, or send him in guns blazing with his tank-like Armor ability. Obviously, the action plays out very differently depending on that choice, except for the fact that everyone else dies either way.

These are the kinds of choices you will have to make when Crysis 3 launches next February for PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3.
