Why the hell doesn't the MP-demo work anymore? It just tellls me to go online, but I am. Using PS3.

They ended the demo on PS3 due to resolving the issues it had for launch day.

Really??

 

[smik]

any multiplayer streams up of the full release?

 

[JaseC]

Really??

Yes. Instead of releasing a patched demo, EA simply pulled it altogether.

 

[Shurs]

Only because that particular "fan base" is so vocal. There is no evidence to suggest that if those games were on 360 (chances), they wouldn't look as good or better. 95% of the multi plats say they would, but alas.

Leaving out theoretical ports to 360 of Sony exclusives, what are the five best looking console games, in your opinion?

 

[Patrick Bateman]

Wow.

I'm not debating that, Crysis 2 on 360 looks better than those titles imo. I'm just saying the tech/engine is here now so other developers can release games on the same level or better, regardless the platform of development.

Edit: Like Shurs said, I'm interested in seeing your list of best looking games.

Playing the 360 version. God damn it looks good.

The insecurity from both sides in the thread is hilarious!

Lol I don't get it either. All I'm saying is that Crytek has leveled out the playing field as far as graphics are concerned.

 

[markao]

Sure, but it just goes to show you that they never even bothered using the extra space to enhance the sound options or use higher bit rates on the CG.

What do you mean by that?

How does that work with cut scenes that are all rendered in engine in real time. I can see how that would work with pre rendered/video footage, or maybe better detailed assets (more space), but rendered in RT.

Seriously this game look amazing.

Holy fuck!!

Best(Biggest) wave in video game confirmed.

PS3 side once lost all hope when low res news has been declared, but when the latest build demo revelad the hope of fire suddenly rise up.

Precisely. And while it was somewhat understandable in 2007, these days there are so many fantastic looking games on all platforms, Wii included, that it doesn't really make sense.

Wat?

 

[No_Style]

You get owned and that's fine. I just think the encounters become pretty tedious after awhile.
Especially when on Delta, the AI gets cheap and can alot of times, see exactly where you are even though they shouldn't. Not to mention they gain uber accuracy...

I've always played Crysis on Delta and know of no other difficulty method. I didn't even know the Koreans would speak in English and telegraph their position/tactics until I saw a post on GAF.

With that in mind, I thought Crysis A.I was a joke. They tried to make it smarter by "catching glimpses" of me when they shouldn't, but I ended up luring them into bunches and taking them out with minimal fuss. And if it was the aliens? Grab and toss = instant death.

I also agree with the heavily reliance on cloaking when in this mode, but once I realized that I could simply hop onto rooftops where the A.I couldn't reach me, it was again very easy. For whatever reason, they could not climb ladders.

I thought Crysis was okay; enjoyed the first third of it. Warhead was more linear, but I enjoyed it a lot more since it offered more creative opportunities for suit powers (ie: the moving train).

I hope there will be a comparison thread when the game releases.

 

[Y2Kev]

I'm kind of tired of the obviously charged posts in here. Can you please discuss Crysis 2 and only Crysis 2, and can some of you do it without crying or maniacally laughing? Bannings will continue until morale improves.

 

[Shurs]

Me too.

I'm picking it up on 360, so I don't need help making a purchasing decision, but those threads are just plain entertaining.

 

[G_Berry]

Sides, what sides? I'm a PC, 360 and PS3 gamer and to say that one console "dominates" in graphics over the other is ridiculous. Killzone looks great, as does Uncharted but they would also look great on 360.

 

[Y2Kev]

I can't really judge what I'm seeing in Youtube videos. I need to see it at the right size and without Youtube's compression.

 

[Always-honest]

But you said that multiplats games are evidence. That's not a great benchmark.

 

[Patrick Bateman]

Damnit, blocking the reviews is so retarded. I'd like to order it to get it on the first day, from what I've seen thus far, but I'm still a little unsure.

 

[Fortinbras]

Playing the 360 version. God damn it looks good.

How's the framerate? I noticed this weird stutter in some of the youtube videos.

I'd go for it. I doubt this is going to be another Homefront type deal. It's Crytek...

And if you pre-order from Amazon you get a $10 credit.

Whoever started/allowed this practice is a dbag.

I got burned with HF but I have more faith in Crytek.

I hate it to.

 

[BattleMonkey]

The aliens seem like really shitty enemies this time around, just stand around and let you pump bullets into them till they die. Heck all the videos so far are not impressing me with how any of the enemies act.

 

[Patrick Bateman]

Btw. do I need to know what happened in Crysis 1 to play 2? I never played 1.

Thank goodness.

No more YouTube for me; I'm sold. Tuesday can't come soon enough.

Quite the opposite from what I've seen in the videos. They move so fast that the game sometimes use full time aim lock while ADS, just so you can track them easily.

 

[Y2Kev]

Just read Wikipedia.

 

[iNvid02]

Btw. do I need to know what happened in Crysis 1 to play 2? I never played 1.

yeah i'd read up or complete it beforehand, #2 takes place 3yrs after the original and some old characters return. the main player is new though as is the location but the enemy is from #1

 

[Ickman3400]

Btw. do I need to know what happened in Crysis 1 to play 2? I never played 1.

It's a shooter...

I couldn't make myself beat Crysis and I know what's going on. The aliens are attacking NYC now, and only YOU can stop them!

Oh yeah, and you kill some koreans before you get back to the city

 

[Snuggles]

some weird shit happens so you fight a bunch of Koreans in a jungle then kill some aliens /end

 

[jett]

Is this game out already?

 

[GANGSTERKILLER]

This is just ridicules, how is this even possible on console? The lighting effects is almost next-gen, lol. Proof that the 360 is definitely not maxed out...

[Truant]

Can't find a single game on the PC demo. Connected straight to my modem, as well.

This fucking sucks.

Any way to just load a map and mess around to see the graphics and do benchmarks?

Apparently the PS3 and 360 street dates have been broken. There are unboxing videos on YouTube.

PC demo ended I think on Monday.

Are we allowed to guess review scores here? Or does not mesh with the *snicker* high quality of posts typical of this website.

Spoiler

LOL, I couldn't type that without laughing. This site truly is Gamefaqs with apartheid.

Anyway, what do you guys think the reviews are gonna pan out for this game? I'm expecting the 360 version to get the highest metacritic, easily, but I think thats probably going to come from 360-centric review sites and magazines that don't have anything else to play. I expect to see the same thing for Crysis 2 on 360 as we saw for Folklore on PS3 back in 2008, iirc.

PS3 version I doubt will break 80 on metacritic, same with PC, but I'm betting PC version is going to have the lowest average of all.

Just my ignorant opinions.

The PC demo is now over and this forum section will be removed in a few days. Thanks to everyone that took part in the demo and contributed in these forums.

[scitek]

I remember reading about game-modes with no suit, so you could avoid all that armour & stealth BS. Is that true or is it my imagination? Played like a vanilla FPS, this game look like it could have potential.
