And here comes some great news for all GTR fans out there. GTR3’s teaser site is now live and features some audio footage from the game itself. Yeap, you read that right. GTR3 is in development as we speak. According to the developers, the audio sample is actually in-game and there is no doubt that it sounds great. It’s really surprising that Simbin has chosen this silent approach of revealing GTR3, instead of making an official announcement about its development. This could either mean that the game is still in early development or that the company wanted to see the buzz they’d get by simply offering a teaser website and nothing more.

While this is great for Crytek, we feel a bit weird as… well… you know… Best Console Game of 2011 and Best Graphics? We think not. Anyway, it’s nice to see Crytek getting recognition for their sequel to one of the best – and most beautiful – PC FPS games.
