Crysis 2 DX11 Package and High Resolution Textures.

[QUOTE="xhawk27"][QUOTE="lolconsoles"] Too late. They should have released it sooner. Hopefully the creative community will turn it into a much better game.ocstew

[QUOTE="ferret-gamer"] You don't know what the UDK is, do you?ferret-gamer

unreal engine, i hate unreal engine 3, there is better engines out there, but so many lazy devs and modders flock to UE3 because its so easy

Yea, people really should commend epic above all else for releasing their tech out to the public completely free. UDK continuosly updates over the years, with every piece of their newest tech at any given time. So say you want to go ahead and make games with all the features that were shown in the samaritan demo? You could absolutely do it, right now, for free! :o

And if CE3 is receiving the same treatment, aspiring developers can benefit so much, and it can only help the growth of the industry by training them early.

Looks great. Altough I'm afraid it won't be enough. Crytek has forever lost their place in "best PC devs" pantheon and that will never be reclaimed again. Hopefully, even if it's impossible to get pc fans to worhship them again they might at least get their respect back.

[QUOTE="xhawk27"] I really hope PC gaming does go under because you people don't deserve it. xhawk27

Why do we need high-budget games? TW2 didn't even go over 10 million and it easily tops all console games in every aspect. Plus, we still have Blizzard.

And yes, it would've had the potential to be better. Small rendered areas and a simplified suit because casuals wouldn't be able to handle the original. Not to mention heavily scripted hollywood scenes and still terrible AI. If it keeps the linearity and corridors, then consoles can have Crysis 3.

[QUOTE="xhawk27"][QUOTE="AdrianWerner"]Well..according to people like you the only correct way to aproach developers is on your kees, licking their boots... great thinking

You do know that Witcher 2 is going to be on the 360 this fall. Console gaming generates more money now than PC gaming. Also if Crytek made Crysis 2 like the first one less than 5% of PCs could handel it and even then they couldn't get max settings and 30fps. :Dxhawk27

[spoiler] [/spoiler]

And yeah I do, but it wasn't always planned for console (regardless of what everyone will say.) The point was is that high-budget exclusives don't matter.

And no, plenty of PC gamers would be able to handle it. FFS I played Crysis 1 on med/high settings with a system that had a slightly better GPU than the PS3 (Although with a lot more memory and slightly weaker GPU.) But that was at 720p and I had to kill everything and change my resolution to 800x600 during the last part of the game. It was a pain when it got firefight heavy. There were plenty of videos of people SLIing 8800GTs and getting past 30FPS. A single 8800GT would handle it with 30FPS with some ease. Don't use DX10, get a config tweak, then you're golden.

I don't really hope PC gaming goes under it is still a great platform for gamers. The days of high budget exclusive PC games are over so I think you PC elitists better realize that. So are you saying if Crysis 2 was only on PC it would have been better? Yeah right. xhawk27

Crap, I absolutely love the fact that big budgeted exclusive action games are dying out on PC, they were just dumbing down the whole platform. THeir switch to consoles have made their PC sales pure crap in comparision to what they used to sell. And this caused people to have more money and time for other more niche games, with smaller budgets but bigger depth. Previously exclusive PC FPSes pretty much caused near extinction of every PC genre besides RTS, now all those genres and game types are enjoying a ressurgence. But while I love this trend, it doesn;t mean that Crytek can still be considered the same company for the platform that it was in 2004-8

Also if Crytek made Crysis 2 like the first one less than 5% of PCs could handel it and even then they couldn't get max settings and 30fps. :Dxhawk27

[. I am pretty confident that Crysis 2 is going to outsell the first Crysis by a large margin over the next few years. xhawk27

Also..let's be honest here, Crysis 2 already sold most of it's life time sales. That's how consoles work, sales die next to nothing few months after release. There are very few exceptions to this rule and Crysis 2 just ain't one of them.

[QUOTE="i5750at4Ghz"]Took exactly 6 minutes.AnnoyedDragon

The impression I got from your response was that the people demanding higher graphics are hypocritical, because they probably couldn't run them anyway.

Look at them.

The differences between gamer and extreme are barely noticeable, you could show someone a side by side; and it is unlikely they could pick out the minimum settings screenshots. And yet somehow it nearly halved my frame rate, for practically nothing.

I imagine all the optimization went into the minimum settings, the console settings, and the two levels slapped on top weren't optimized in the least. The game isn't optimized for PC in the least, so I cannot imagine how terrible these updates are going to run.

I don't know about you but i see a pretty big differences between low and max settings on this screenshots and the differences is even more noticeable when you actually play the game, of corese the differences is not like the first crysis low vs max, but it is still a difference worth the performance impact.

I mean on max settings you have better lighting, SSAO, HDR, more objects, more view distance, and more detail generally.

Just to let you guys know the dowloads are now available :D we will see how it will look/perform hopefully will run fine although I'm expecting the patch to kill my GTX 460

Yeah, no luck here though. The download is going quite slow.

It's already midnight here, so looks like I have to wait til tommorrow to give it a whirl.

Apparently you need patch 1.9 to install the DX11 patch and the 1.9 patch isn't available for now. I'm sad :(

You see a big difference, I don't. You're free to your opinion of course, but so am I. I see my frame rate near halving and the visual experience doesn't justify the frame rate dip.

Then you've looked at the worst screenshot.

Trust me, the differences will be massive.

Will be massive? Are you referring to the games existing visuals; or the patch?

Remember I tried the game, I know what it looks like.
