Crytec has access to fairy dust?

its the german beer dude.

 

[mintylurb]

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.

Aww yeah. Y2 is da new bish!

 

[Truespeed]

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.

,

So you're saying the intro was all in engine?

 

[Y2Kev]

Aww yeah. Y2 is da new bish!

can i has spot on one of your teets

I think I will play Crysis 1 again today in honor of Tuesday coming soon. And Wednesday comes afterwards.

 

[Mr_Brit]

Wow, singleplayer on consoles looks great, lighting in particular is fantastic.

Once again confirms my theory that Crytek UK/Free Radical are great at game design and awful at any technical aspects.

 

[nib95]

Any direct captures from the 360 version?

 

[Ickman3400]

I'm still pretty stunned that I'm seeing footage like that run on an xbox at a pretty smooth framerate. I'd be happy to just play that at a higher resolution.

 

[Truespeed]

2.8GB install data on the PS3.

You sure about that?

 

[bluedeviltron]

Looks great.

I'll wait for it to drop to $40 a day after release. Homefront is the last game I get full-MSRP burned on.

 

[MrCompletely]

Is there any in depth information on the 6 multiplayer modes?

I didn't think these consoles could look anywhere near Crysis 1. Looks fantastic.

 

[Shurs]

realtime cutscene.

No added effects?

I ask because the water on the Pier 17 map from the 360 MP demo does not compare to the water in the GIF.

We need to get someone with the PC version in here answering questions

Lets not get ahead of ourselves based on tiny gifs and youtube videos

 

[The_Player]

Is there any sort information about perks, weapons, killstreaks? Can barely find anything related to MP part of the game.

 

[Patrick Bateman]

Was it just a dream or did Crytek really say that the PS3 was their lead console?

 

[Clott]

Any word on DX11 yet? I really would like to experience this eventually, but I don't want to pay premium price for a non premium product.

last 90 seconds. water in gameplay looks identical.

That GIF is from the 360 vid I posted earlier. Check the last two pages.

EDIT: click the link above.

You sure about that?

From what I've heard it's 2895 MB to be exact. Not sure why it says 4 GB on the box.

It's not unusual for multiplayer to look notably worse than singleplayer though.

Uncharted 2 is another good example of this.

I guess, like everything, it loses a bit of the wow factor when it isn't so small.

Game looks great, though. Much better in single player than in the multiplayer demo.

Can't wait for Tuesday.

Oh no you didn't

3GB may be the initial install with another 1GB installed incrementally.

Multiplayer isn't trivial, resource-wise. I doubt that 16 player co-op would be able to look that good on the consoles.

 

[ColonelColon]

Well, they can't really. Crysis 2 seems to have significantly less environmental destruction and much smaller levels than Crysis.

 

[nib95]

I doubt that. My guess is they leave the rest in place for updates and stuff like that.

 

[REMEMBER CITADEL]

Was it just a dream or did Crytek really say that the PS3 was their lead console?

Due to the nature of the engine, I don't believe there was a lead platform, all three versions have been developed side by side. However, back before CryEngine 3 was even announced, they've been talking about how they were putting special effort into PS3 research.

At one point they also said that PS3 code was performing slightly better at that moment.

There will be when this guy gets his hands on the PC version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHv7Laj3JiM#t=25s

One thing I've noticed missing in Crysis 2 is the animation when your character reaches for ammo. No huge dealbreaker but it looked cool in Crysis 1 and Warhead.

The A.I. looks like utter trash.

Might be like Warhead, where they changed it so its auto pickup unless playing in Delta.

 

[Guerrillas in the Mist]

It's just a shame that due to a freak tear in the fabric of Space-Time, the UK won't be getting it until Friday. Either that, or translating the game is taking longer than expected. Adding all those "u"s to words like colour, and replacing all those "Z"s with "S"s can really take a long time.

Thanks dude ^_^
Although yours is more elegant, I'll keep mine because I suck at photo editing and this is like a personal achievement of mine lol

What a rollercoaster ride this thread has been, from 'meh' to 'wow, one of the best looking 360 games' in days. I wonder how they managed to deal with the RAM limitations.

Also in other news, that crazy Khronikos guy or something that was saying stupid shit got banned and a mod apparently mentioned my name in his ban message so he has send me a rage e-mail.

This is the least offensive sentence in the e-mail:

Seriously, dude, if I saw you on the street I\'d trip you and then kick you in your stupid face and watch you bleed.

lol
