Crysis 2 no DX11 patch confirmed.

This is for everyone who is still assuming that Crytek will be releasing patch that supports DX11. Apparently these claims were just rumors starting on some forums and held no validity whatsoever. Here is my source, anyone got anything offering conflicting information? Also, if they were releasing DX11 I think most of us would have read it on MyCrysis, Facebook or Twitter, or something alike. Not gathering that information from either of those sources, or even being able to find it directly stated from Crytek themselves via one of these sources was evidence enough for me that there was in fact, no DX11 support coming. None the less, I still enjoy the game and find it to be great. I just don't appreciate being lead to believe something about the game simply so I would commit to purchasing it. Had I known this, I might have waited

A little off topic, but will mods be an option like Crysis 1 and Crysis Warhead? Or did they screw us in that regard as well?

I am laughing at every person who bought this game right now :lol:

Why? Just because they they aren't coming out with a DX11 patch they never promised in the first place somehow means the game isn't fun and worth it for the people who purchased it?

I've seen your post regarding that, but where is the real verification of that on MyCrysis? It shouldn't be a forum topic, that offers basically no validity. It should be up front on the main page of the "News" section, considered its a major NEWS topic to us PC gamers. Until I see it on the news forum, or posted through Facebook directly from Crytek or EA I am firmly a non-believer.

My face when they blame piracy for there crap developing skills

To be honest Im expecting them to turn around and say "No DirectX 11 cause PC gamers didnt buy enough copies" It seems thats how they act.

No, because of all the people who were so convinced that Crytek was coming out with a patch. All those people whose hearts are now broken. What can I say, I am a bitter man who takes pleasure from the misery of others soemtimes.

I'm laughing, too. Namely, I'm laughing at all the fun I'm having playing this game.

I'm happy that Crytek are not concerning themselves with a silly DX11 patch and am hoping

that all resources are put into releasing a patch that will fix the real bugs in this game.

Here is the argument from the article:

At first glance the textures in Crysis 2 may look improved, with the appearance of more detail, and a slightly more realistic look. Certainly if you were only to run past them that may be the impression you're left with. But let's take a closer look at what's really going on here.

It's a shooter, you're supposed to run past these boxes. You wanna study and contemplate pretty pictures? Go to the Louvre.

Seriously, epic gaming journalism fail.

IMHO, Crysis 2 is probably the most solid shooter currently on the market. It stand heads and shoulders above lame-ass selfindulgent crap like Bioshock.

They didn't even bother to create a difficulty curve later in the game, you could litterally stealth through it all and not fight. the final "battle" was incredible underwhelming compared to Crysis 1. Gotta love aliens that just run up to you to get punched in the face to death. (on 3rd difficulty) and A.I that stands there when your shooting them in the head. Most solid? no... decent game, typical AA standard shooter.

It was kind of strange, in some ways Crysis 2 surpassed Crysis 1 ... multiplayer, music, story, suit powers. but then, its a friggin CoD clone with super powers. It completely changed its FPS sub genre into something safe and average, instead of trying to fix the flaws in the first game which had a much more ambition.

You guys do realize they're referring to the rumor that the patch was releasing yesterday? A proper DX11 patch is still very much on the way. Crytek tweeted about it two days ago.

It's a joke article.

The fact that Crysis 2, at launch, fails to live up to the original in a variety of ways is disappointing. If they can't make a sequel that truly improves upon the original, then they should just work with original IPs. If you are having fun and happy, then I salute you. For me, with games increasing in price, I expect steps forward, not steps backward.

I never knew people cared more for DirectX rather than having fun with the game...eh, who am I kidding, ~90% of PC Gamers are just graphics wh0res now... what a shame.trastamad03

You really think it's ok for them to release a sequel that has less detailed graphics than a 4 year old game? Why did I bother buying a new computer in that timeframe? Graphics have always improved in the past years of PC gaming. With the hardware and technology for better graphics being available, I see no reason for this direction to change.

Making a patch to update the graphics is a cop out. No point in buying games on launch day anymore. Just wait a few months, pay less, and get better graphics.

You know, not every gamer out there cares about graphics. I bought Crysis 2 on launch day, and I could care less if they releaed a DX11 patch or whatever.

True, but I think it's safe to assume most of the fans of the Crysis series do.

Tell me, what's the difference between Crysis 2 with DX9 and Crysis 2 with DX11? Tessellation? Better water effects? More god rays? HSAO? They sure effect the gameplay right? My guns gonna be more overpowered cause it has more bumps and scratches on it, am I right?

Only time I'll see DX11 as not being a gimmick is when it's tessellation and other features are used properly.Would love to see Ezio from Assassin's Creed climbing up a wall and his hands and feet accurately grabbing on extruded parts of the wall due to tessellation. I could not give 2 sh!ts about seeing an "epicly" tesselated wall in my game and it has to gameplay value to it.

that explains minecraft having such poor sales.

the game looks better than most games as it is; we'll see what magic DX11 patch would do.

60 Dollars for a derivative console port of a beloved PC franchise! Buy it now!

Talking about X is not evidence that people don't care about Y, they just happen to be talking about X.

That says they are "cooking tech bits for C2 fans." It doesnt say they are adding DX11 in a patch. They will probably release some video of Cryengine 3 doing something cool with DX11 that well never get to see in C2.

The point they're making is that Monday was never slated for anything. It doesn't mean a DX11 patch is never coming.

(Doesn't mean it is, either, but let's try to be positive)

[QUOTE="Renevent42"][QUOTE="blues35301"] Well the game was said to be a dx11 showcase, then they pulled it out at the last second. So yeah they promised it. blues35301

Read the article, people. CtyTek is addressing the rumors of the patch coming out on a certain date, not denying the patch.

Yeah people are taking this way out of proportion. They said that the patch, that is rumored to have DX11 and come this week, was never confirmed. Not that DX11 is never coming.
