- resistance = maybe, but the central structure doesnt take them out. the nanosuit was able to reverse engineer the spore virus so that it ended up killing the ceph instead
It's not exactly the same, but I see a pattern forming here. In Resistance, the human strategy was to go to the central towers in each region, destroy the core, and all the surrounding aliens would die. Crysis 3, go to another one of the Ceph sites on the world map, enter the central structure, release Ceph killing virus, lather, rinse, repeat.
-war of the worlds = true, unless they were super duper deep?
How would they bury objects this size that deep without completely destroying the surrounding environment? And why would they go to the trouble to bury something that deep in the first place if they planned to have them come back up from under the ground?
Also, if they stay that deep long enough, depending on where they are, they run the risk of getting destroyed in tectonic plate subduction.
- transformers = this doesn't apply, we werent trying to steal their tech. that never happened in crysis.
****************SPOILERS**********************
In Crysis 2 Jacob Hargraeve finds Ceph technology at the Tunguska Event site and reverse engineers it. Over the course of the century he releases inventions using this tech through the Hargraeve-Rasch Corporation. These inventions include the Nano-suit.
In Transformers, every great technological breakthrough over the past century, from integrated circuits to microwave ovens, was reverse engineered from Megatron's body.
They are not 100% identical, but close enough.

I know people will complain that I am over-anolysing this. It is really not that big of a deal, just defending my earlier points. It is a bit annoying that they made a big to-do about the story for this game and it just wound up being a composite of previous visual media stories, AND that two of those stories are sci-fi cliches that rely on logic that a movie person conjured up because "movie goers need something they have never seen before, and none of them will expect this". Of course not, because no intelligent human being would think that makes any sense.
