Crysis 2 DX11 Package and High Resolution Textures.

http://www.mycrysis.com/dx11#(Pics in link)

Currently it seems like the site is not yet fully operational, but they finally delivered on their patch, and put in High-res textures.

What the improvement has for the Game:

Tessellation, lots of it

SSR reflections, hopefully shadowed

DX11 Parallax Occlusion Mapping

SSDO- Screen Space Directional Occlusion, which is an improvment to SSAO

Better Water

Improvments to particles, DoF, and Motion blur.

And of course High res textures :P

And the DX9 people will get Realtime local shadows and Contact hardening shadows.

:o Yay pretty graphics! And 64bit executable as well it seems. Can we download it now?

I'll see it as soon as I get home.

Do I have to make version 2.0 of my app?

Good stuff. Hermits don't care though, they've still been "betrayed" :roll:

that's great but i bought it for sb3 and the sdk not dx11

too little too late

Now all we need is the editor and SDK. : )AAllxxjjnn

Looks awesome. Wish I had a PC to run it.

Have not played Crysis 2 since the 1st week I got it, will download this and see what improvements they have made.

Has the game finally superseded its predecessor visually? I'm excited to find out! :D

Why is it that the texture pack requires a 64-bit OS?

High res textures take a lot of memory to use. With Crysis 2 running normally plus high res textures it might surpass the 3GB limit of 32-bit OSes.

So can we assume it will run better for people with DX11 GPU's ?

the editor was in the beta leak and it came standard with crysis 1. i see no reason why they didn't include it when i preordered the game specifically for that reason. the free sdk thing is great, but as someone in this thread stated i do kinda feel betrayed. but not because of the 'consolisation' or 'sub-par' graphics, only cause 99% of the fun i have with the crysis games is derived from the editor lol

That was an editor. They're making CE3 to be a direct competitor to UDK and they're focusing on making a true SDK instead. It's a good trade-off IMO.

Cool..too bad I finished the game already and am not exactly looking forward to doing that again....but I can feel the pull of teh tessellation...hard to resist. Oh well I guess I'll give it a try.

Looks like I may have to boot it up tonight. :D

yeah, i was fine with just sb2 until the sdk released later for crysis. theres no reason why there couldnt have been an editor in the retail release

So improved graphics? ... cool?

Where can you download these packs?i5750at4Ghz

From that site. Doesn't seem to be working though.

If I remember right, that editor was bug-hell and had support for PS3/360. They couldn't release that. That editor wasn't meant to be released at all. That was a fully-working internal leak (Not even a beta.)

Just in time for me to install my SB tomorrow. Locked 60 fps here I come.

Nice. 8) But why is POM, higher res textures, better particles, ect, exclusive to DX11. Didnt POM work in DX9 in Crysis 1, and that crazy particle mod too. Anyway, I can't wait to try it out. As much as I was dissapointed with Crysis 2, it was still a good game. :) PrettyHateMx

POM and the enhanced partcles effects were probably made this time around with the dx11 compute features for greater performance.

dont care really, i may be a minority in my thoughts but if you go the extra mile it helps you in the long run - look at valve

Nothing happens when I try to D/L but let's see. I'm a little giddy tbh :D

Hopefully Crytek delivers.

what does that have to do with anything? just because thay made a new engine doesn't mean that they are better, or care more about their customers.

it just means that people who like to have new things are happy

Will all the Dx11 enhancements result in Crysis 2 surpassing its predecessor?

[QUOTE="i5750at4Ghz"] Valve has been reusing the same engine for 7 years.... At least crytek created a new engine.i5750at4Ghz

I had way more fun with Portal 2, both singleplayer and going at it with friends. Just because Crytek may be good at implementing a more robust RK4 into the physics engine integrator or writing a dozen new shaders to take advantage of the new graphics pipeline in their engine doesn't mean squat except to people who get off on that kind of thing.

At the end of the line, Portal 2 got authoring tools less than a month after its release. Crysis got them zero-day. Where are they for Crysis 2?

Good stuff. Hermits don't care though, they've still been "betrayed" :roll:

I thought it was a great game and already looked amazing in Dx9

I'm a little anxious about physics and destruction but let's see ;) The links not responding is unbearble!!!!

Edit: And PnP drones are in for a shock. Hermits do actually give credit where it's due since some of us are actually interested in tech.

Looks VERY nice. Finally with this and Battlefield 3 I feel like we are approaching next gen in terms of graphics. Wonder if Wii U will be capable of this when devs squeeze the power out of it (I know its supposed to have only DX10 level of GPU, but PS3 having DX9 level GPU and it best looking games can compete with most DX10 games easily).
