yes you can....press the x button and it will switch over to MS points. Crysis will be 1600 ms points just like RE4. ( I got RE4 with MS points.)Dark Octave said:

They worked fine for me. I waited till I heard they fixed it and then I bought the game.BruiserBear said:

Holy shit, I never knew this. It's like you already knew what my next question was going to be. Thank you for the info. My first On Demand title.Kasumi1970 said:

depends where, UK it was 1840 (not that it matters much when points are £15 at most places for 2100 instead of RRP £17.50Kasumi1970 said:

I did so again earlier today. It did not change my opinion on the matter.Zen said:
With that said I'm done with this topic. People will believe whatever they want to believe, so it's a pointless conversation.
Zen said:
I just did recently. In like for like scenarios the difference is usually within 2 frames. Otherwise when there is a wider gap, the action on screen is usually not comparable (i.e. one player is staring at a wall while the other player is knee deep in shit). There are moments, albeit far fewer, where the 360 version runs slightly better in that video. Again though, the scenarios weren't always comparable, even in these moments.
The 360's lowest is 12fps while the PS3's lowest is 14fps. So they both can run at shit frame rates and IMO you're making too big of a deal over a slight advantage.

What's superb about it? Shallow faked 3d that doesn't look nearly as good as proper stereoscopy and doesn't look as good as similar faked stereoscopy that you see in the unreal engine.Vol5 said:
It was bad in crysis 2 and its bad here. It isn't a patch on games that don't fake it.
I've seen crysis in proper 3d on my PC and it looked a lot better than this implementation.
Do you have to be right eye dominant to hate these techniques or something?

i had a thought that the walking speed nerf might be to do with reducing pop-in, but i didn't realise how frequently you could boost everywhere. hope they patch it because it's a pretty big issue. it hinders gameplay having no middle-ground movement speed.

Somehow I picked up another pistol and am currently duel wielding. How do I switch to just using one?

Better than Unreal Engine 3D? I'm not sure about that. After playing Gears3 in 3D I turned it off immediately due to weird artefacts and warped surfaces. This looks leagues better than that with no perceived framerate or resolution drop.
Granted not as good as true stereoscopy though.

The rocket launcher's buggy as shit. I'll pick one up, see a chopper, try to whip it out but nooo, it suddenly disappeared and I'm left standing out in the open getting my ass shot to bits.
And then I try again later, and poof. There it is again.

I bought the PS3 version yesterday.
Is it my TV set or is this jaggy as hell?
In the intro the edges in the plane) are flimmering and when you get to start the scene where the guy hangs from the three, the ropes from the parachute are a real jagfest?
So are the threes overall in the game?
That's the only disappointment i have so far.

Dont forget most likely the situation wasn't 100% the same the best performance gauge would be the ingame realtime cutscene i believe the one with the bridge should be a good one.
Probably some failed math
Framerate differences
83ms
71ms
16.9% difference
Backbuffer differences
ps3: Crysis 2 = 1024x720 (TAA + edge post-process) = 737280
360: Crysis 2 = 1152x720 (TAA + edge post-process) = 829440
12.5% difference
Those 2 fps difference seems to me because the 360 has to process more pixels with all those rendertargets you need for deferred rendering. Atlest with Xna if im not mistaken all rendertargets need to be the same size for the Gbuffer so thats 4 rendertargets being 12.5% bigger on the 360. And TAA+Edge post process is most likely a full screen effect that a other 12.5% more work that needs to done.
So its just where you want to put emphasis on Frame rate or the Resolution.
What im wondering is how will crytek look at what bf3 did with the console and incorporate it into Cryengine 3. Deferred Tile Rendering on both consoles. And we all probably know bf3 on ps 3 will be the better version consider all the marketing and sony support DICE got? But everything can change with launch and post release support.
probably only fueled the console war more good thing pc gamers also have their war with ATI and NVIDEA drivers go team red.

Fucking hell.
I loved the "Predator" feel of Crysis2, and nothing was more satisfying then doing a proper cloak-switch to armor mode fr the shot switch back to cloak kill.
Its like a million times more satisfying in this. I'm playing on Delta, got to a village after getting a sniper scope. I'm sitting in this tree thing, and I'm just picking these fuckers off. Ultimate predator mode.
Seriously best fps ever.
I know the last half gets a lot of flack, and from what i've heard, i wont like it as much as the frst half but seriously, this game is awesome.
Edit: HAHAH I just killed two more, all their friends are now shooting wildly in every direction.
Fucking bad ass man.

Finished the game, never managed to do that on PC as the frame rate ended up being unplayable around level 4-5 or so.
Playing Crysis with good graphics certainly makes it more enjoyable. Frankly, the game requires decent graphics to be enjoyable. Armor modes and weapon customization are great ideas and open areas are fun but the enemies are always the same, weapons are standard FPS weapons, the AI can be increadibly dump at times, campaign is linear and story is badly lacking.
Spoilers for the second half:
Oh and the game's boss fight(s)?
Overall, it is a good game but not exceptional. Definetly worth checking out if you like FPS games. The first half of the game is golden, even without variety in the enemies.
Didn't encounter any bugs, and only one glitch, some guy fell through a hanging bridge while i was watching some 150 meters away with binoculars.
EDIT one incredibly shitty thing. Can't get rid of dualwielding.

Spoilers for the second half:
The Zero-G level is one of the worst levels i've ever played, beating even The Library from Halo CE. Disorienting, annoying, frustrating and hard. It is NOT FUN at all. Pretty much everything after it sucks as well. Linear missions: escort fucking mission, on (partially) rails shooting mission... Dialogue is horrible and increadly hammy. Strictland's idiot sacrifice (uses a fucking MG against the Hunter, WTF?). Aliens are annoying to fight against, not fun nor really challenging so there's no satisfaction.
Oh and the game's boss fight(s)?
It is fucking bad. Shoot a thing for 5 minutes with the boss having ability to instantly kill the player and the second one is shoot where told to, watch for instagib attacks.

Picked it up from the PSN store yesterday because I was curious about it (mainly for CE3 implementation).
Obviously not as crisp as my PC version, but a great port nonetheless. People who can't run the PC version are definitely in for a treat and 20 bones for a great singleplayer is a steal.
It also runs more fluid than I imagined it would.
Good job Crytek. Haters be damned, this is a great addition for any console owner.

I use the iz3d drivers, not sure if they work with team green hardware though.FGMPR said:
The poor checkpointing is really stifling my fun. It's not that it makes the game too difficult - it's that I want to experiment and try different approaches to each encounter, but the removal of manual save has ruined that. Plus, multiple times I've accidentally triggered a checkpoint too early, using it well before an area is cleared.
Removing manual saves from a game that was designed around that system is asinine to me. If you're balancing and desiging for a checkpoint system, it can work well. But here, they just yanked it out and changed nothing else. It's baffling.

No way in hell dude, that level is the crapiest thing ever created
Pitch darkness and an L shaped corridor, that leads to another L shaped corridor, that leads to another L shaped corridor, that leads to another L shaped corridor, that leads to another L shaped corridor...vast numbers of enemies coming out of fucking nowhere, etc
The Library is better because it supports Halo gameplay still. EDIT And i absolutely used to hate The Library, thought it was the worst level i've ever seen. Nowadays i'm numbed to it. At least you it is constant action like, say, Doom1.Hunter-Zero said:
The Crysis level we're talking about? Had to use armor mode pretty much constantly, it was fucking linear tunnel in a game where previous levels were open.
Besides, it causes fucking motion sickness.

We're still putting spoiler tags over Halo 1s Library level? C'mon now.
The game is 10 years sold, spoil it already.
That level sucks, but it's not a waste. It's an excuse to go ham with the shotgun, rocket launchers, grenades. It's like playing some stupid survival game mode.
edit: and just watch NanosuitNinja on youtube play that level in Crysis. Fucking destroys all the levels on his custom retarded difficulty, including that one.

At least it's not ugly as shit like The Library and the zero-grav feels neat as you explore.
There are people who haven't played it. And Halo Anniversary is upcoming and will probably bring new players to Halo CE.MaddenNFL64 said:
Also, there's nothing wrong with spoilertagging level details, so why not?
Explore what? A fucking linear tunnel that looks the same all the time. And causes motion sickness.Stallion Free said:

It was like a serious Sam level in the middle of the game. But i think spoiler tags are appropriate with the rerelease next month. And who expects to see potential halo spoilers in a crisis thread. If in doubt tag I say.MaddenNFL64 said:

I've just come from playing DE:HR so it's especially jarring. It doesn't help that the enemies are fucking hawks either.
I have very few complaints so far, but that is definitely one of them. Along with being stuck with dual pistols for the whole game, of course.

dual pistols with laser sights... Oh how I love these.
Luckily wasn't worse than vertigo. I had to move slowly and avoid excessive turning so that it wouldn't be more than vertigo... The art and the environment desing doesn't help it as there's no proper way to orient Nomad there. Even with auto-orientation.Stallion Free said:
And the level is the ugliest one in Crysis, just as The Library is in Halo. And both are comparable to each other in their ugliness.
It must have taken a hit on consoles then, because it looked incredible on PC.Woorloog said:
I'm really sensitive to motion sickness in first person shooters, but never had any trouble in crysis after disabling weapon bob.
Crysis is not a perfect game. Crysis 2 improves on it in many ways. But it's rightly celebrated for its gameplay and level design during the first half.
It is ugly in my opinion. No eerie beaty etc. Maybe it looks technically good but since i care about art more than techical details...Crunched said:
Weapon/camera bob is not bad for unless it is excessive, like in XBLA Marathon 2 Durandal or Minecraft. But weapon/camera bob doesn't matter if you spin around a lot. As in up-down spin.

Anyone know what the removed level was? I'm guessing it's going to be the VTOL escort mission.
