Ha, I work on William street where this gameplay "takes place". Looks nothing like this in real life.scently said:

Yes man. Hopefully bakhal will report back soon.

Sorry pal, but the game is a downgrade in many areas that have been listed at length. I'm just willing to overlook it if that ease a bit more of my other concerns.
LiquidMetal14 said:
Frankly, their PR machine has been horrid. Bad demo. Almost no PC footage until release. Demurring about DX11 support and then the news gets broken in an Nvidia presentation. Still no word about DX11 support, even after they said they would be making an announcement 'soon'.
Haven't seen anything this bad since Dragon Age... which was also EA. Hmmm. Wonder if the same consultants or agency was used?

Same here. I will say that although Crytek seriously screwed up BIG time in putting out the MP demo without a SP, didn't include the customization options, and lack of communication on the PC version; if the ini files are not encrypted and this turns out like I hope, in the future I'll try to wait for the full release before making a judgment on a game.

I'm not debating that, but seeing comments such as "homefront status" and the like are disgusting (speaking in terms of console here). I still found the core gameplay fun, and while the multiplayer graphics aren't the greatest thing out, it still looks great compared to other games on console (framerate on PS3 is a valid complaint though). Now for the PC gamers, I can understand, as the game may be a downgrade in many areas like you said. Just my 2 cents.

I am truly impressed. The 360 version might be the best looking console FPS ever.
I am happy with my PC version, but now I am definitely picking up the 360 version for my little bro, he won't notice the difference

Fair enough. I'm just pointing out that like the previous poster said, there are a lot of PC legit complaints and alot of them don't center on graphics. That said, you could cut the bullshit in here with a spoon. I'll read the reviews, wait to hear about settings (sounds like there are the bullshit three settings), whether the ini files are encrypted, and if Crytek is EVER going to make a DX11 announcement (or release day patch, go forbid, ala Dragon Age 2 Hi-Res textures). Still glad I canceled my pre-order though. Not on the hook and the preorder bonuses sucked.

Oh ffs. Cut it out with the junior crap. Its ridiculous already. Everyone of us have been juniors. Just dumb.
Wow. Impressive stuff from the Xbox 360 version. PS3 isn't too shabby either. Thinking about getting the PS3 version here, but I may just wait for the DF article to see what's happening under that hood.
P.S - I agree with the suit voice as tutor. It's quite annoying. I'm guessing there's no way to change it to the British female version? It's so prolific, I'm doubting they'd record it twice.

Surprisingly, the PS3 version looks just like the 360 version. IF CryTek were smart, they'd purposely gimp aspects of both platforms so that the two versions looked exactly alike. It would look worse compared to the PC versions, but console owners don't generally bitch about PC to console differences.No_Style said:

I had a good time, once I tweaked my settings. But I'm not burnt out on CoD yet so maybe I'm just easier to please. Actually, it reminded me of the multi in F.E.A.R, more than anything.Bboy AJ said:
Wow, the 360 version of that same area (7:06 onwards in that PS3 video) was posted a while ago but this time the player's going through a different route on the right....that place is actually MUCH bigger than I thought! I love the open sandbox approach that Bungie took with Halo but it's refreshing to see Crytek trying to do with same with an urban setting, which usually lends itself to a more constricting level design in other shootersVampire Hunter Vizier said:
I don't think everybody believes it's shit but the controls take a lot of getting used to for some people and coming from KZ3 I just plain don't like how the game feels. KZ3 maps and networking need a lot of work but the gunplay is simply phenomenal. As well both MP demo's were quite ugly which is directly not in line with what Crytek promised.
I think people coming from their favorite shooters just don't really get the hype about the MP at all because its average and no better in many ways. The singly may very well be a spectacle worth waiting for idk and I am not going to hold my breathe.
And the junior stuff is just plain annoying. You wouldn't talk like that to people on the street so don't use it here. You have no clue how old or young some people are. It's really strange hearing what may be a 16 year old kid talking smack to what may be a 40 year old man. Please. Just weird. We understand that juniors have to have a post count but a lot of us were old members that died away for one reason or another or we simply just now came around to getting a membership accepted.

Ah, very cool to hear that others are enjoying the MP, too. I've been playing it and think it's pretty fun. The controls took a bit to get used to but I'm alright now. Still strange to hit right on a d pad to select a grenade (360).
I'm burnt out on BLOPS and tried Homefront but it didn't jive with me. Here's hoping Crysis 2 fills my MP void.

How do I check if the config files are encrypted? All I remember from Crysis 1 are system.cfg and autoexec, are you talking about those? Aside from those I just installed configs that came with their own executable.
I don't have any pictures from the first level, I got only 2 from the 2nd one, at least pictures that serve for comparison.
I'm gonna try and report back, but I can't promise anything. My computer stands at the PC LAN zone, but I'm hosting 360 tournaments on the other side of the complex, whenever I'm not hosting I'm sitting right next to the 360 zone taking a look at whether someone is trying to be a smartass. These weekends are extremely busy, the schedule is extremely tight (and most of the times we're running late actually), and are pretty much the most tiring days I have during the year. I sleep on the floor, eat crap food, etc. Today was a lucky day because the schedule isn't as tight as it's the first day. I'm gonna try and take a few screens for comparisons and check the encryption, but don't expect anything. If I knew you wanted to know it so badly (I didn't even know they had encrypted config files... wtf?) I would've come here earlier instead of playing the game. I'm leaving a few screens I left uploading while I was away though. I hope you don't mind it being 10+ pics. I'll edit later if it's needed.

Not trying to make the thread suddenly less awesome but, some comparison screengrabs from the x360/ps3 videos linked earlier....Constrast/gamma issues aside, I'm surprised that as far as level of detail goes, both versions seem identical. Pretty awesome for a relatively new multiplatform engine:

Whoa. That is some powerful imagery its dealing with.
Here's another article raving about Crysis 3d, claiming it to be basically the best on the market, better than killzone 3.
Here:http://www.gamesradar.com/xbox360/c...a-20110318172040751056/g-20090601103043632061
Cryteck is seriously pulling off some technical marvels here. They have what may be the best looking game on console, running in 3d with no drop in detail/resolution. I'm impressed.

Actually, the first Crysis also had big open sandbox style levels that enabled you to take radically different approaches to hitting the objectives. I loved Crysis 1, everyone should play it. I even liked the VTOL level.

From what I've seen of pics. It's the 360 version displaying what is typical of black crush/shadow detail loss than just the PS3 being "washed out". Just look at the hallway shot, it's so blatant.
On a lot of TV sets, Full Range will cause black crush too.

Oh yeah i'm aware of that, and in some cases the game feels similar to Halo3/Reach in that both aren't set in a dense urban setting, an environment which typically lends itself to narrow corridor types of levels in other FPSes...and it doesn't seem to be the case here with Crysis 2MrCompletely said:

I'm honestly going to say here that I prefer the more stylised colours over the realistic look they used in the game.
