Crysis 2 Just Got a Bit More Pretty...(56k Nope)

New graphical mods are out for Crysis 2 on Crymod. http://www.crymod.com/viewtopic.php?f=308&t=71027

Works on both DX9 and DX11.....

Nice :D

And some people still think PC gaming is not atleast a gen ahead of current consoles? :roll:

Original looks better in the last two. It's a decent mod though.

Some of the modificaitons are outstanding, and truly showcase why Pc gmaing is just so far ahead of consoles.

Others show prefrence, rather than improvement.

Like the shadows in the 2nd shot. The sharper shadows are not realistic. The shadows would have been diffused, the original shot with the soft, blurry shadows is more realistic.

Those are some amazing shots, reminds me of theiCEnhancer mod for GTA 4 that makes it so damn close to photorealism. What kind of rig would it take to run that?

Extremely nice looking, but I agree that some are more preference based. The one with the sunset sets the mood better for the screenshot rather than the modded one, though it looks a hell of a lot sharper.

Looks way better than the original. I didn't really like the weird shading added to the coloring of the original graphics.

I'd play it if I can use the original shadows. I swear it's like some of these modders never go outside to take a look at real shadows.

Most look great, but there are some that actually look worse, imo. Some of the shots use that effect that resembles the "miniature" feature of some compact cameras---those look bad.

Crysis 2 was already a very good looking game but now with mods and DX11 this game is a true succesor to Crysis 1 graphically. i think this puts it above BF3 from what we have seen so far, espeacially with those textures, all imo of course

Look great! This is why mods are never a bad thing :)

Are those original shots with dx11 and the hi res updates? I don't remember it looking that relatively bad.

Its sad that developers not doing it in the first place.

Obviously got nothing on the 360 version though.

He changed the brandname on the toliet paper and cookies!!! :evil:

Not really a technical change, just an aesthetic one.

I actually think it looks worse this way.

EDIT: Well not a technical change compared to the DX 11 version anyways :P

Funny how modders are the ones who actually use the full potential of the PC power instead of the developers themselves today. We saw it in GTA 4, and now this. These guys should make their own game using their engine.

Kind of weird that the last 2 pictures look better unmodded.

Looks great. Tres bien.

And it looks much smoother with the motion blur and FXAA.

I'm not sure if i like the new lighting in blackfire's mod, have to try it myself. MalDo's HD textures look sweet, hope they're properly tesselated.

Looks and runs great judging by the two missions i just played.

[QUOTE="lawlessx"][QUOTE="mitu123"] I find it more funny that GTAIV is said to run better modded.

Just tried out the blackfire mod but i don't really like it, at least in the first level the lighting and colours seem to be off. Maybe a bit oversaturated.

It's not an improvement over Vanilla Dx11 crysis 2 imo.
