EDIT: This is probably console footage, Crytek themselves said it would be easier to wow people from the bottom up as they have only been showing console footage. Source:

"GZ: We saw the game demoed on a Xbox 360, why not the other platforms?

NC: Ask EA, it's more of a marketing thing really. This was the choice and the message we wanted to give out. Everyone is saying this looks awesome on 360, people are really amazed, but it scales so the PC one is going to look fine. If we showed it on the PC, people would wonder what it looks like on console so...It's easier to wow people from the bottom up and continue to wow them." -http://www.incrysis.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=30691

The gameplay stitched together.

Screen tearing mess is the video, not the game since screen tearing was also in other non Crysis 2 footage.

Now that you've seen it thoughts? I personally think it's better than anything on the 360 and PS3 right now. KZ3 is probably going to give this a run for its money.

Honestly, 360 and PS3 users will only buy this game mainly because of its amazing graphics, once they get enough of it, it will be forgoten.

It looks incredible, and I agree it does look better than anything on consoles currently. I can't wait for this fall.

Forgot to put "IMO" my bad. Ive played Crysis on max settings and don't get me wrong, its beautiful. The best looking game the technology has to offer but other than that its nothing. Only reason why Crysis is brought up is because of the Graphics wars and graphics king arguments. Don't kid yourself, you know this.

:P KZ2 and UC2 are always mentioned to date 'cause they have 'teh gfx'. It's the sandboxy gameplay imo.

The gameplay looks beyond generic.

The graphics look below UC2

In my opinion that is.

Yes, my jaw literally dropped when I played Crysis on my rig that I build last year. I was so amazed that I had to show my girlfriend and her friends that its so...almost real. But lets say, the game does not have the graphics that it has right now. Would we still be talking about it? How's the multiplayer compared to the Halo's and Call of Duty's and Team Fortress 2's?

Without going to Crysis messageboards, find me a thread here in system wars where people argue or mention about Crysis's multiplayer and gameplay and how it compared to others. Like, how it stands out to others. Or like how awesome is the campaign, or how hard the objectives were.

Literally every graphics thread about Crysis turns into an argument about it's gameplay. I'll gladly turn this one into a gameplay debate too if you'd like.

They would be saying,

This:

"If you put it all together, Crysis is just remarkable. This is a game that pushes the envelope in terms of gameplay and does so with aplomb. Crysis raises the expectations for every shooter to follow when it comes to interactivity, environments, AI, and gameplay. Quite simply, Crysis represents the first-person shooter at its finest, most evolved form."

Instead of this:

"If you put it all together, Crysis is just remarkable. This is a game that pushes the envelope in terms of both technology and gameplay and does so with aplomb. Crysis raises the expectations for every shooter to follow when it comes to graphics, interactivity, environments, immersiveness, AI, and gameplay. Quite simply, Crysis represents the first-person shooter at its finest, most evolved form."

They'd be saying that the single-player is awesome and the multiplayer is lacking. Like they do now.

I played Crysis on low settings, with a lousy framerate for 8-15, but it is my favorite FPS.

Sure maybe Crysis js good or fun gameplay but really how many people in system wars or casuals plays them? Not a lot has high end computers to run this on playeable settings. Crysis is not a generic game, but its not a game where we would be comparing to TF2 etc about how great its multiplyer/gameplay is.

Why compare a singleplayer oriented game to a multiplayer oriented one? And does the number of people that plays a game or had played it affect the quality of the game itself?

okay fair enough. Lets see how it does compare with the likes of Half Life 2, Bioshock 2, and Halo campaigns. You guys are misunderstanding me. I love Crysis, I still play it every now and then, whenever I do my jaw still drops. All I'm saying is, this game has nothing that makes it stand out compared to others if it wasnt for its beautiful graphics.

Well there's always a strong and a mediocre point, I guess. We could turn the tables and say they are only known for their gameplay, multiplayer but you'd say those are much more important than graphics.

I first played it at the minimum settings (physics at maximum) on my laptop. Inferior mouse aside, it wasn't any less fun than it is maxed out on my gaming rig. Just less pretty.

As suggested by my above reply, Crysis has pretty good minimum requirements. I think you should just give up, man.

The nature of the gameplay makes it stand out among those games that you've mentioned. The game gives the players the tools, and puts the player into the game, allowing the player to play how he wants it to be played. Each of the games you mentioned are great at certain things, but none of them offers the freedom that Cyrsis gives.

You said "playable", not "maxed". Getting Crysis running isn't a hard task at all. Getting Crysis running at aesthetically pleasing settings isn't all that hard either depending on which settings you prioritize. Running it maxed out with a good frame rate, on the other hand, is rather challenging, though that's not necessary to enjoy the game. Large maps, sandbox game play, destructible environments, customizable weapons, and being able to change your strategy on the fly is what makes Crysis so epic.

klusps

If we are talking about the first, thats up to debate, depending on how people played it. I despise the game when the alien parts hit, though Im pretty sure I've stated that before. Early levels were a decent amount of fun if you could be creative and not spam stealth.

This one looks great too. Amazing, if its on console which it appears to be, yet Im not diggin the style of how it looks. There is no way for me to put it and not get flamed so I'll just leave it at that.

Give up on what? I never said Crysis is a bad game, its gameplay is okay, a little bit above being generic IMO. but my point is, compared to other SP/MP (first person shooters) out there, it doesnt stand up.

I agree with the MP aspect, but I found Crysis's campaign mode to be masterfully designed. I would go as far to say that it's my favourite FPS campaign of this generation. I've replayed it a number of times whereas with most other shooters I'll be lucky to stay interested long enough to complete the campaign even once.

How people played is irrelevant to the fact that the game is built around giving the players freedom on how to complete their objectives. The A.I. map design, weapons and nano suit all allow to player to play in different fashion. As compared to a game like Chaos Theory, where the game is centered around stealth and stealth only. It would't make sense if a person says that the game is bad because he wanted to play it like Call of Duty. So the fact remains that Crysis is unique in the sense that is provides the tools for the player to play how he wants the game to be played(except of the alien parts) Also, I know that klusps used the word "fun" and fun is a really subjective word, so my post was to show the Crysis is a quality game.

Crysis is indeed epic in graphics and mediocre on gameplay. But dont you see, nobody here talks about Crysis gameplay, its all about its graphics.

Give up on what? I never said Crysis is a bad game, its gameplay is okay, a little bit above being generic IMO. but my point is, compared to other SP/MP (first person shooters) out there, it doesnt stand up.def_mode
On your campaign to prove that Crysis' only redeeming quality is its visuals.

And my post was to show that it isn't a little bit above being generic, it would be nice if you can tell me why you think Crysis is only above average, and what makes the above FPS you mentioned stand out.

[QUOTE="def_mode"][QUOTE="windsquid9000"][QUOTE="def_mode"] How did you come up with that question? Just because a PC than can run COD6 on low can run Crysis on low...okay what does that have to do with me being able to play the game on max settings? And how is your question relates to what you just said, wait what im confused. It dont make sense.

You said "playable", not "maxed". Getting Crysis running isn't a hard task at all. Getting Crysis running at aesthetically pleasing settings isn't all that hard either depending on which settings you prioritize. Running it maxed out with a good frame rate, on the other hand, is rather challenging, though that's not necessary to enjoy the game. Large maps, sandbox game play, destructible environments, customizable weapons, and being able to change your strategy on the fly is what makes Crysis so epic.

Crysis is indeed epic in graphics and mediocre on gameplay. But dont you see, nobody here talks about Crysis gameplay, its all about its graphics.

Urgh I'd hate to derail this thread even more, but every time someone says Crysis is only about gfx, a ton of people jump on them, like now.

Firstly, the only topic of interest in SW is graphics. Secondly, don't talk in absolutes. You may have found the gameplay lacking but many would disagree with you, including me. I found gameplay works great within the sandboxey level design of Crysis. It gave me the tools to play the game the way I wanted and I found the infinitely more engaging than the route other FPS's have taken.

[QUOTE="def_mode"][QUOTE="windsquid9000"]As suggested by my above reply, Crysis has pretty good minimum requirements. I think you should just give up, man.hypoty

Give up on what? I never said Crysis is a bad game, its gameplay is okay, a little bit above being generic IMO. but my point is, compared to other SP/MP (first person shooters) out there, it doesnt stand up.

I agree with the MP aspect, but I found Crysis's campaign mode to be masterfully designed. I would go as far to say that it's my favourite FPS campaign of this generation. I've replayed it a number of times whereas with most other shooters I'll be lucky to stay interested long enough to complete the campaign even once.

Yea I've played the game about 5 times, playing the campaign on different difficulty settings and trying to do other things like exploring, killing, having fun with the abilities of the nanosuit. Crysis is a good game, all im saying, compared to other FPS games, it doesnt stand a chance other than its graphics.

People talk about the graphics because graphics are based more on facts rather than (uneducated)opinion. When I was here a few years back, people also hardly talk about the gameplay of a lot of AAA titles, and it's still the same now. Do you consider the games that are always brought up because of their graphics to have generic gameplay? If not, then why the special treatment for Crysis?

Again comes the desire to headdesk myself into a coma. I just gave you reasons as to why Crysis' gameplay is epic and you denied with with your only explaination being that console fanboys don't mention its gameplay, completely disregarding the slew of PC gamers who've actually play it that come to defend it each time.

People jump on them because they usually use poorly though out arguments.[QUOTE="def_mode"] Yea I've played the game about 5 times, playing the campaign on different difficulty settings and trying to do other things like exploring, killing, having fun with the abilities of the nanosuit.

You just listed the reasons why Crysis stand out... So why doesn't it stand a chance other FPS titles?

Then would you at least throw an "IMO" in there or something so this thread won't get derailed?

[QUOTE="mccoyca112"]If we are talking about the first, thats up to debate, depending on how people played it. Lonelynight
How people played is irrelevant to the fact that the game is built around giving the players freedom on how to complete their objectives. The A.I. map design, weapons and nano suit all allow to player to play in different fashion. As compared to a game like Chaos Theory, where the game is centered around stealth and stealth only. It would't make sense if a person says that the game is bad because he wanted to play it like Call of Duty. So the fact remains that Crysis is unique in the sense that is provides the tools for the player to play how he wants the game to be played(except of the alien parts) Also, I know that klusps used the word "fun" and fun is a really subjective word, so my post was to show the Crysis is a quality game.

Well thats great and all, but there are plenty of people that dont have an ounce of imagination which led them to be bored with it. Thats all Im saying so no need to try and lay the facts down to which I already understand. What Im saying is people will never come to a general consensus of its quality/its generic. Thats all I meant by that..
