Crysis 2 a step backwards?

crysis 2 will sell better on the hd consoles witch are killing gaming .

PC version will be the highest selling version stop comparing 2 platforms to 1 platformHaloinventedFPS

In all honesty the broadest audience will probably sell the most units. But returns per platform will be different; given that there are no royalties, subscription fees or expensive dev kits to develop on PC.

Crysis 2 is a step backwards. Even though the engine might push Pc hardware and might have better visuals then the 1st. But the design in every other aspect of the game has been consolized. What this means that the game *will* be constrictive on gameplay and level designs in size and other areas, because their is no way any of the consoles would be able to render the large open levels in the 1st Crysis. And Crytek showing all console versions of the game and havent shown any true Pc in game adavantages, makes me believe that the Pc version isnt on the top of the list and or the fact that they arent willing to shown their Pc fans the downgrades they had to do to make the game multiplatform.

Nvidia is pumping millions into the PC version of crysis 2, so i think that it is definatly going to be getting attention. And the console versions could implement a streaming technique to get to a huge level while the PC version has one continuous level the size of crysis 1'sferret-gamer

The money Nvidia is spending is just so they can attach their logo to promotions of the game, nothing more. There is nothing to force EA to invest that money into the PC version.

Also I've been peeking at the Crysis twitter.

"the PC will have the potential to look a little better, but we're aiming for a great experience on all platforms"

"we're aiming to keep the same level of gameplay experienceacross all 3 platforms"

Of course Crytek doesn't show much PC gameplay and is silent about the PC version. They won't introduce the franchise to console gamers while boasting about the much superior PC version...

Good point never thought of it that way.

That does make sense, but how much better would the PC version be, other than the obvious superior graphics and mouse support? In porting it to consoles there is just no way they're gonna beable to achieve what they did with the original. If that WAS the case then Crysis 2 would have to be an entirely different game on PC than what would appear on the consoles. I think this is gonna be one of those situations where the consoles actually drag the PC version down with them. Maybe I'm just talking out of my arse but I think I got a valid point here. Do you really think Crysis 2 is gonna match the greatness of the original when it has to be toned down for consoles? Please take note that I'm not just talking about graphics but gameplay and environment in general.

Those Crysis shots are fake and weren't actual gameplay, fyi.maniacalrooster

Consolized is the word y're looking for.

We will only know when we try the game.

I thought crysis was goign to be only nice graphics, but the gameplay and sound was just as good if not better then the graphics imo.

So I will wait till I try it to decide if its a step backwards or not.

I think I will miss the Jungle from Crysis, but I have faith in Crytek, they did an amazing job on crysis and crysis warhead.

Is it for certain there won't be a jungle/forest level in Crysis 2?

I would love to have this game but unfortunetly i need a computer from 2021 in order to play it.

Filthybastrd

Supposedly it runs better than Crysis did. I remember them saying something about it running about twice as fast as Crysis with the same level of visual fidelity (that's obviously PR bull but the message is that it's supposed to have lower system requirements).

I would hope so, I'll pick it up if it does :)

Obviously it's a step back consoles ruined it.AL_GREEN

You say that like Crysis was some exclusive club which consoles gate crashed. The developers are fully responsible, nobody else.

I'm picking it up regardless ;) I'm sure it can be set to make very high end rigs choke so I'm going to throw SLI'd GTX460's at it or possibly whatever is a high end price/performer at around May next year.

Thank you yearly salary bonus!

first of all, cgi screen of crysis. even on enthusiast it doesnt look like that. secondly, crysis 2 has a different approach. yes, crysis looked amazing, but crysis 2 is going towards a more realistic look. thirdly, they (at least to my knowledge) havent released any pc screenshots/videos otherwise it would make the console versions look less appealing i guess. lastly, far cry looked a lot better than that lmao.yellosnolvr

i agree...i havnt seen a single screen or vid thats claimed to be on pc...every single one ive seen has been on 360...and judging from those...given 6 generations of new gpus over the console cards alone...the game will look amazing on pc...or at least run at huge fps if it looks like 360 version lol

I would like to think that Crysis 2 is a step forward.

I can imagine that it's less strenuous when it comes to getting the same graphical level as Crysis. However, I'm certain that it will still utilize the potential of DirectX 11. Also, didn't Crytek show off their engine on an Eyefinity set-up?

I have a question regarding Crysis 2.
How is the Nanosuit compared to the one in the first Crysis?
Any additions?

Those Crysis 1 screenshot are what the Dev's said it was going to be like, but I don't think it ever reached that level of detail

[QUOTE="jhcho2"]

2 things:

1) Notice the absence of the HUD in both pictures? They're obviously not actual gameplay. For all you know, the actual gameplay could be running at like a slideshow. We're not talking about slideshows are we?

2) The second screenshot is just dark in everything. It's a trick. Overdone shadows conceal texture flaws. In that respect, the first screenshot, despite being a demo version, is still the winner. At least everything is visible and clear.

ocstew

Sorry, but you are wrong. The first pic is from the alpha, not the final game. You can tell because the design of the scope is different from that in the finished product. Check any screenshot.

Wow.. Really? If you are honestly using that defense you have no place whatsoever to make the claims you have been making. Disabling the hud is literally 1 command.
