Frankly we’d prefer if they designed decent rugby games around top rugby players rather than putting them in other popular titles, but this is still pretty cool.
In an effort to promote the much anticipated Crysis 3 in France, EA decided to strip Yannick Nyanga down to his smalls and cover him in body paint so that he would resemble the character Prophet, the hero of the Crysis series.
It was a good job that EA picked somebody in prime physical shape like Nyanga as opposed to a prop forward with a few ripples in his belly and if the sight of 6’2”, 16 stone Nyanga wasn’t frightening enough as it is, he certainly looks even more fearsome when made to look like the all-conquering video-game hero.
We can’t wait until EA do something similar with Sean O’Brien in Assassin’s Creed or another title in the future.
If you’re a Crysis fan, meanwhile, you might be interested in the sneak peek we had at Crysis 3 in London last week.
