Crysis 2 Xbox 360 gameplay footage.. graphics look awful

ITT: People judging the graphics of a game based on youtube footage of the unfinished product

The lighting effects were great, but I really want to see the PC version on higher settings.

I think the video is poor quality so that's why it looks kind of underwhelming. Also, the guy who is playing is terrible at the game. How come people who are actually good at video games get to demo them beforehand?

I have no idea how that could be considered "awful".

Judging from that video, i would say KZ3 looks better, but this is an unfair comparison. The quality is a bit weak, and the environment isnt a show case one. Also, that looks fantastic. The fact that we are even comparing it to KZ3 must mean that it's atleast close to the game's graphical quality, so I don't know wh haters are saying it looks bad. But one thing is for sure, I still think KZ2 has the best gun models of any game out there, yes, even better than Crysis on PC with everything on MAX. :P

After seeing the E3 demo which was PC gameplay played with a 360 controller (why?), I'm not holding out much hope.

Oh, it looks very nice. But compared to the first... well, I'm not seeing it yet. Still, as others have pointed out, they have yet to unleash the PC version.

OMG what a shock NY is smaller then the amazon jungle.:roll:

lets be real here if aliens were to invade the world they sure as hell won't start raging there war

in the jungle loool.

It just doesn't feel all 'there' to me. Watching gameplay, I feel as though I will end up preferring the original Crysis, regardless of how much better 2 will (or won't :P) look.

Have faith. :) These are small levels for E3 purposes. Remember, there's still tons of envoirements they'll show, Central Park, broken water mains causing flooded streets. They havn't even showed the weapon customization or suit customization. BELIEVE!

the word "awful" can mean worse then original04dcarraher

No."Awful" means "very bad and/or unpleasant", which most certainly that trailer was not.

I want to, I really do, but I'm missing stalking around in the jungle right about now. :( All that gameplay really isn't doing it for me. I'm still pumped to see the PC reveal though.

there is no way you can objectively say that looks "awful". "Disappointing" or "mediocre" mightbe believable, but that is a decently good looking game, at worst.

I'll be lying if I'm not a bit dissapointed, but if it means it's more atmospheric and cinematic, almost movie like, then I think that's a fair trade off. Obviously it's all down to preference though. :(

Yeah, I personally don't care how movie-like it is! :P I just feel like I'm going to miss the organic feeling of just stealthing around the jungle a lot. I don't like this new setting one bit. :(

How is anyone hyped for this game? Ignoring the underwhelming graphics, the actual gameplay looks horribly generic and boring.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JS1ldO37R6k I knew crytek was lying "Console versions will look just as good as PC versions" why do companies even say this non sense? That video looks terrible, doesnt look any better than Halo 3, seriously. I hope the graphics improve greatly because right now they are underwhelming

ColonelDrakePS3

Wtf are you guys talking about (primarily the first page)? During E3, I saw people on here praising the game as looking better than KZ2, UC2, etc, and now it looks as bad as Halo 3? It's the same footage, and I'd say it's on par with KZ2, and that's with destructibility. I still love KZ2's graphics and play it every day, and there is no way that looks like crap. Did you even see the dynamic lighting near the end when the aliens/meteors were hitting the building? Crytek's been saying that everything is rendered in realtime. I'd take it with a pinch of salt, but when it looks that good and does all of these things like destructibility, lighting (perhaps HDR), pretty fine shading, and even looks to have some ambient occlusion (which is a processor crippler even on high end PCs)...do you see where I'm going with this? :P I think the game looks amazing, and with 5 months to polish it, expect it to look even better/ run more smoothly.

[QUOTE="RoOodriGowW"]Same here , all the hype regarding gfx was gone after that for me.

Because it's their first 360 game? It's unstable at the moment. And those vids were not running at 60fps. It seemed locked at 30. :roll:

What about the skulking around office blocks, peering down at the streets while aliens walk past executing helpless civilians, before jumping from one skyscraper to the next. Or planning your next assault before lunging out the skyscraper window, landing in a huge thud as you hit the pavement. You can drive taxis and stuff too. :) The mission showed at E3 was a push towards Central Station to aid the Marines, so ofcourse it's going to be urgent, but I'm sure there will be times where it's slow paced.

That looks like every other gameplay video they have shown :|

If you read the previews they say how the small sections do not look near as impressive as the rooftop section.

I think it looks like something that can be amazing on PC.

Looks like a scene from every other boring FPS game. Any clue when we are actually going to see some innovation in the FPS genre?

Increase the YouTube resol to 720 Still looks better than Killzone 3 :DBELOW_MEE

I'm sorry but if you really THAT looks better than KZ3, there's something wrong with your eyes or judgment or you just hate the PS3/KZ3.

I don't know, once you click the 720p version it doesn't look so bad. It's no Killzone 3, I agree, but It actually looks pretty good.

You mean this?

Here's the difference between Killzone 3 and Crysis 2. Killzone 3, blocky, blurry textures, and wierd geometry. It looks fake: And crysis, realistic, clean and sharp, with amazing lighting.

i love how this guys picks the best and worst situations depending on what hes defending POST THE VIDS that those came fromi_am_interested

Me? I was trying to show the difference between the fundementals. Killzones blurry blocky textures vs Crysis 2s ultra sharp, "I can make out what that is not like Killzone 3s wtf is that a machine or a box?" objects / textures.

nevermind, this guy likes to compare blurry screen caps from actual vids to published press release screen capsi_am_interested

I just took that Crysis 2 pic from the video in the TCs post, notice the IGN logo at the bottom? :| And that Killzone 3 pic was taken using GOMS burst capture, and that was the clearing pic out of the lot. It's not my fault Killzone features tons of blur. =\

Again with the 3D screen?

It's still Killzone 3. Going by the first pic, even if it wasn't 3D it'll probably still look that bad.
