And before some fanboys say one version looks better,compare it to the PC on top.Both look identical,but ps3 is bit brighter while 360 and PC are more darker,also 360 is running the editor real time and ps3 is disabled(just so there is no comments ooo this version is soo better) .Anway AMAZING!!!! :D

Cool, but it's not out yet, so until I can scrutinize and play it at home, I remain skeptical.

Good for them making pretty vids though.

Did you guys see that wet...thing...beautiful:shock:

Why are demos now primarily for console versions only? Where are the high-end pc demos?

iexpect crysis 2 to be one of the best looking games on consoles

if not the best but im sure ps3 fanboys will still say their exclusives are way better

Why are demos now primarily for console versions only? Where are the high-end pc demos?

Because they are selling engine to 3rd party,for console developing.Its not really just how good it looks,its now more how optimized and easy to use new engine is.

Developers these days care more about how something works in regard to the lowest common denominator.

They want to know what their typical experience will be, not the best of the best.

If Crytek says they're poor after CE3 is released, then they are the worst money whores on the planet.

Looks great.

Impressive engine. It does everything well :shock:

Now that I've watched all of them.

It's nice to see they have improved a few features, but you also note some of the tricks they use for optimization purposes. Here people say Crytek does everything real time; and they are using pre-baked lights for the windows. Which means they would be unresponsive to the position of the sun.

I wonder what happens to those texture lights faking light coming through the window; when the time is set to night? The lights are independent from the time of day effect, so I wonder if their brightness is assigned to the time of day; or would we get a Oblivion situation where it is night outside but the windows are lit inside.

After watching this i am more and more convinced that Crytek really will do well on consoles.Hermits shouldnt be angry,you will get game that plays better,looks better and is more optimized then Crysis.And consolties...well,we will get new graphics king :)

you will get game that plays better,looks better

Debatable...

Pretty much what we have come to expect from Crysis's scale has been completely stripped out, every video we have seen has suggested this. People have also made various criticisms of the visuals, but we don't have enough on the PC version to be sure about that.

Gameplay will probably be a bit more restricting but graphics will most certainly be better.Dont even doubt that.When did it happen that sequel that comes 3 yrs after original has worse gfx?Never :)

Crysis 1 was built entirely for PC, Crysis 2 is designed with console limitations in mind. It may be 2010 now; but console hardware has not budged.

That's why in Crysis 1 we could see to the other side of a lake, where as in Crysis 2 we are staring into smog.

Yeah, I'm impressed, but not about graphics (wich is great) but about the engine, it's a HUGE step forward in multiplatform develpopment. I hope this engine will replace UE3 :)

Just an incredible engine, best in the industry.

I can't wait to see some Crysis 2 direct-feed vids and screens.

Looks like the new console graphics king will be Crysis 2 for sure.

but that doesn't really mean much in terms of fun, as Crysis had a pretty lame MP. If they cannot deliver a really good MP then I won't be very interested in this game no matter how pretty it is. The level editor is really cool though, lets hope the online community of strong enough to support such a feature on consoles as well as PC.

But I have to admit, for consoles, this is a VERY impressive looking game.

Seems to me like crytek is more aboout selling this engine then it is worried about crysis2, not a good sign. I guess gears did the same thing and that game was amazing.

Im gonna guess that whatever happen to this game doesnt matter. It wouldnt matter if we have Just Cause scale, it wouldnt matter if anything happened, as long as its one consoles you would find a way to make it seem a deragatory.

Feel better after your little tantrum? Good.

Now, perhaps instead of this little outburst; you could actually specify what I have specifically said that you have taken a issue with?

Where is your sig from TC? I know it's Reach but I don't remember seeing that :shock:waynehead895

Thanks for the video, this is sick,...

If anything you seem to have an anti-console opinion that comes up in every post. A lot of that seems to come down to how consoles are limiting the PC and whatnot. Which is fine, its the truth. But despite that consoles will often present amazing experiences that are not seen on the PC. Insulting or putting them down and downplaying the experience they provide just seems to limit your experience in the hobby that you so clearly enjoy..

I'm a gamer, and I thought these videos were amazing to watch.

I can't wait for Crysis 2. TimeSplitters 4 will hopefully utilise the CryEngine 3 as well. I do hope other developers out there will make use of it.

Isn't EA close with Crytek? They published Crysis and Crysis Warhead. I hope they start using the CryEngine 3.

Yeah, I'm impressed, but not about graphics (wich is great) but about the engine, it's a HUGE step forward in multiplatform develpopment. I hope this engine will replace UE3 :)

good job crytek. Hopefully they show the PC version soon. The console versions look great, but lack alot of things like softshadows, SSAO etc. Those are the main things i noticed from this vid.

Take issue with would mean I have some kind of in depth problem with it, I dont given the board we are on. Its just a surprise to see some of the extreme, or one sided opinions you may post given that they are quite usually well thought out and well type/(said?).

First off, welcome to System Wars! You should expect certain things here.

Secondly my "console limitation" comments as of late have been in reference to Crysis. Are you then saying it is unreasonable of me to say consoles are holding back PC? The response I would expect from anyone who is honest is it's not unreasonable.

Consoles have 512mb total memory, I have that much just on my graphics card. I am not saying that to boast, I am simply stating a fact. People had significant concern about Crysis coming to consoles, considering it had been stated even before Crysis 1 was released that consoles would require a cell streaming based experience. Sure enough, here we are in 2010 looking at Crysis 2; and it has been converted to cell streaming.

Now your previous... response suggests to me that you are not familiar with Cell streaming, considering you talked about Just Cause and claimed Crysis 1 works on consoles. Cell streaming isn't the same as having a large scale game, cell streaming by its nature is designed to fake large scale environments. The environments may look huge, but the actual scale is tiny. As described by the CEO of Crytek, Cell streaming is about dividing the game play into instances/bubbles of the game world. Rather than being in this huge world you are interacting with small scale bubbles that surround the player.

So it's all show, no game play. The world looks massive and open, in reality nothing exists out of the collection of cells the player currently resides in. Crysis didn't fake the large environment; so if you could see it you could interact with it. All that information requires a considerable amount of memory, memory consoles do not have. That's why Crysis 1 can never be ported to consoles, not in its current state where it is designed for a open environment.

You get angry at me because of the things I say, but what I am saying is not wrong. Crysis 2 has been limited as a result of console involvement. I know it must be irritating to have someone suggest that your platform of choice is limited, but to say otherwise would be lying. You should ask yourself if you are irritated by me because you think I am attacking consoles; or because you simply don't like what I am saying.

Great post annoyed dragon, couldnt have said it better myself. Console gamers dont seem to know anything about hardware, they really think the cell has hidden powers :lol:. I will say developers are doing amazing things this gen with the limited hardware {whish games for pc were this well optiomized} but it can only go so far, in the end you still need hardware

I agree, consoles do have limitations, and they can effect some PC games. But it might not always be consoles like devs going for people with currently low end cards. Like the 7800/8800. Many PC games can still run on them and I am sure if the devs wanted they could go for something like 5970, but they know there target market would be too small then.

cant wait to see the games that come out when the engine is buyable f or developers, i mean common console kings will be a thing of th epast when this engines out
