Crysis 2 PC demo is out

[QUOTE="i5750at4Ghz"]Seems you're more interested in the graphics than the game.AnnoyedDragon

Can't someone discuss graphics without someone else trying to silence their discussion; by accusing them of only caring about graphics? Crysis had good graphics and game play, but if this is supposed to be maxed; people are obviously going to notice how lacking it is.

Some images I managed to take before I got sick of the fragheads,

This really cannot be max, so shame on Crytek releasing it in this incomplete state. There is anticipation, and then there is ****ing off your fanbase.

the backgrounds look so plain on crysis 2 just some simplistic buildings, lol killzone3's multiplayer map backgrounds makes crysis 2 look horrible.bamboomahah

You're wasting your time with the flame bait, PC gamers aren't interested in defending this; when it is clearly behind its three year old predecessor.

People are complaining about the graphics? Wait for singleplayer. Crysis' multiplayer didn't look near as good as the campaign. I'll assume -- and hope -- this will be the same case. Game still looks terrific though...

The game id pretty fun and works like a charm. The only problem I have with it is the ridiculous lighting, seriously the sky is just a glowing sheet of whiteness, and the turning. I am not sure what bothers me about the turning in the game, but it feels a bit like when I play something on a pad. There this odd delay to the turning.

Console inputs translated to mouse ....

Crytek has failed hard, and relegated themselves to consoles. I'm going to unleash a ****storm on their forums now :)

??? Crysis Wars looked good to me, not as good as singleplayer, but MUCH better than Crysis 2 multiplayer:

and this isn't even maxed out dx11

Look at the roof texture on crysis wars, its no better than the textures you posted.

Dont have any input lag on my side or any problem with the hit detection.... the demo seems to be running at medium at DX9 so I guess thats why it looks very similar to the 360 version. But it runs pretty good for what it is. I'm getting 50-60 fps (1080p) on hardcore which is pretty good. Only problem I'm having is getting used to the controls with changing the nano suit powers on the fly, I didnt have this problem on the 360 version, but I'll get used to it on the PC just need some time.

i5750at4Ghz

what keys are you using for the on the fly nano suit powers ? Are you using Q&E, I'm thinking of binding them to my mouse side buttons. One thing I didnt like is the game only let me bind 1 key to a single command and notmultiples keys like in other games.

downloading it now can't wait to try it

I seriously don't understand how people are saying this looks worse than Crysis :| Crysis Wars maxed with the highest CCC settings:

and this isn't even maxed out dx11

Solus_Christus

To be fair though the map in crysis wars is alot bigger than this one. Like... possibly 5 times or more as big.

And why is it only 12 players online ? is that the final player count for the MP, seems really low to me.

Overall, I really enjoyed it. Not mindblowing, but still fun. It became a little frustrating a few times; getting shot in the back seems to happen more often than in other online games. The game ran pretty good but I'll be honest: I think the first Crysis is a better looking game overall. Also, the fact that you have to hold the right mouse button in order to aim down the sight is just frustrating and foolishly designed. Interesting how they took so much inspiration from CoD but missed that little detail - it's super annoying having to essentially hold two buttons just to kill someone. :/NAPK1NS

Did you play crysis wars at all? If not maybe I understand your concern. Crysis wars looked like complete crap compared to the singleplayer. i5750at4Ghz

Given my distaste for multiplayer, no. But given that it has been three years, don't you think they could do better than this? Some of these textures just don't make sense on a modern PC.

That and the visuals are just blurry.

So, it's been confirmed no DX 11 support? Downloading it now.

Well I finally got on a match and overall I actually had some fun. Through there seems to be too much blur even more then Killzone. I have the graphics setting set to gamer for now which runs perfectly so I might step up and try advanced settings.

Yawn, Stretch, sigh, oh excuse me did someone say Crysis 2 for PC.....LOL who cares ?, it's coming on consoles and thats the versions everyones going to play.

Controls are way better on the consoles.

Slimmin360

Right...I am sure consolers will be doing quite well in a head to head battle when the PC guys are using Mouse and keyboard.:roll:

They're just flame baiting and honestly trying too hard, just ignore.

Yeah compared to hardcore the rest of the modes have way too much blur.

I don't have time to look at textures to busy killing people. FYI the demo isn't a benchmark.i5750at4Ghz

I don't intend it to be, I just want to look at Crysis 2 running on PC for once instead of the bombardment of 360 material. They didn't give us a single player demo, so the visuals are the only use of the demo to me whatsoever.

But Crytek's trolling knows no bounds. Not only is it questionable if max settings really means max in this demo, but inspecting the level is impossible; when there is a multiplayer match going on.

Unlike some people, I'm not entertained by running around small levels shooting other players for hours on end. I've never understood the appeal of multiplayer in FPS outside of co-op with friends. Maybe if you are playing against friends, but not with random faceless people over the net.

GTSaiyanjin2

Yeah 12 players is pretty low for me too, but the maps aren't that big anyway.

I'm glad I never preordered this piece of trash.

I'm confident when I say they won't support DX11, mods, or anything that makes it a PC game.

Has someone hijacked Wasdie's account? He was aggressively defending Crysis 2 in arguments not too long ago.

Just a guess but, you must not be a very competitive person. i5750at4Ghz

If by competitive, you mean point counting and taking part in repetitive game play day after day, then no.

BC2 is a great example of ported development. PC gamers get an awesome tactical shooter, consolers get what they want: CoD run-n-gun strafe killing with no thought.

Crysis 2 on the other hand is a terrible example of ported development: the same trash gameplay was retained from console to PC.

Crysis 2 is actually a great example of why console games are terrible. Overbloom, no skill, run-n-gun, small levels, repetitive and easy gameplay, tons of UI "go here" trash etc. etc.

Consoles ruin games, gaming and gamers.

I had actually forgotten about BF2, damn modern comabt sucked.

I guess you're completely right about everything!!!

It reminds me of a debate I had with someone about halo 3 multiplayer. I tought it always was fun, but random, and my friend kept saying it required skill. After watching some of his replayss, skill meant, knowing where everything on the map was, how to randomly shoot a grenade across the map to make it bounce on 2 walls and get a bunch of easy spawn kills, or if you encounter someone face to face, how to start bunnyhoping and ending up shooting the dude in the back. No wonder I eventually stopped playing.

I felt the exact same way with crysis 2, there were no strategy whatsoever. Only people jumping everywhere and shooting people in the face as they randomly passe by!!!

There are only three graphical options in the demo as well as the full retail game. If you go to Geforce.com and read the review, they benchmark the single player with a near-finish build of the game. Near-finish, which means, the graphical settings you get (Gamer, Advanced, Hardcore) are the only ones that will be there once the full game is out. Near-finish is only a few bug fixing from finished.

LAME!!!! I'm selling my key once I get it on March 22. I can't get a refund =(

Also there is no DX11 support. If there was, they wouldn't be giving us those benchmarks. Hense... no DX11.
