New Crysis 2 screenshots!Can ya spell graphics king? (56 K)

Not sure if this is supposed to be a joke or something. It looks decent at best, look at those textures. I'm very sure you could have chosen much better pictures.

Anyway, the original Crysis does not look that good without mods.

rolo107

I have no mods on Crysis, so I have no idea what you are talking about.

Apparently no one has seen Vanillla Crysis's textures.rolo107

They're better than what we have seen in Crysis 2.

[QUOTE="Iantheone"][QUOTE="theuncharted34"]

apparently some think it looks better than killzone 3.

How are these terrible textures? They are amazing, along with the graphical fidelity (everything technically) of KZ2/3

Pretty good for consoles. You aren't saying it's better than pc games though are you?

This is not Crysis 2 on highest.A-A.Watch 3d trailer...that was Crysis 2 on highest...

Anyway, the original Crysis does not look that good without mods. With mods it obviously looks better than Crysis 2, but once Crysis 2 gets some mods it will clearly look a good deal better.

[QUOTE="Anastasia1997"]

Ugh, look. In all of my time playing KZ2 (Which admittedly is not much) and everything I have seen of KZ3 (which is quite a bit) both games have terrible textures and all of the moments that people are getting excited over are nothing but scripted events or cutscenes.Iantheone

Most of these screenshots are too far away from any given object for you to perform a close up inspection.

But the vehicle in this image is close enough, and that texture is rather meh. You can actually see jaggies in the high contrast areas in the texture, showing how low a resolution it must have been stretched from. Another example of a bad vehicle texture is in this video, when the vehicle drives into the building near the end; and you get a close up.

I also note the light shafts going into the building are unresponsive to the lights passing over, despite shadows responding :? That wouldn't have happened in Crysis 1, because the light shafts were all fully dynamic.

It's these little nagging things I hope they polish out by the end.

I've seen a few of those models from the PC version and they were WAY more detailed.

Looks like the most stunning looking thing on the planet, as Crysis always does :)

I cant wait for Codename Kingdoms on xbox 360 as well, the epic art is more my thing

[QUOTE="Iantheone"][QUOTE="rolo107"] Yes, but we are talking vanilla Crysis, so no mods. He said he has none, so I'm arguing as such and I was comparing vanilla as well in the first place. The textures that looked poor in Crysis were the ones used heavily throughout a map typically, which included the rock and ground textures. Crysis does have some really nice textures, but they aren't the most commonplace ones.

rolo107

Which is pretty much what I said on the first page. Crysis 1 will be technically better, but C2 will be better visually. Thats how im thinking that it will turn out

does anyone have any 360 shots

Dark-Ancient

The artwork I've seen so far looks really nice in kingdoms :)

Hopefully it turns out great :P

[QUOTE="rolo107"][QUOTE="Iantheone"] I played it without mods and the only time that I saw poor textures was some (Not all) ground and rock textures and even then I actually had to look for them. You would never notice it in actual gameplay.. Everything else was superb.Iantheone

[QUOTE="rolo107"] I don't notice it in in Warhead at all, but I do in the original, especially Vanilla. I don't have any texture mods, just some tweaks that help a bit on textures for Vanilla and it alleviates the annoyance somewhat. Warhead is superb though, especially after the tweaks I've done for performance and visuals. I still think the Crysis 2 graphics are coming along as looking better than those in Warhead and Crysis other than the obvious change in setting. windsquid9000

A few things in the 'Be The Weapon' trailer (which was mostly console footage; I'll elaborate on this if you want me to) looked quite a bit better than those 'PC' shots, IMHO. Here're the screencaps I took earlier:

Some of they maps may be larger, but C2's physics engine is incredible. I've nitpicked the trailers to pieces and C1's engine pales in comparison. In fact, CE2 in general pales in comparison. As for scripted events, those are for the directly story driven areas. Outside of those, you're in a fully sandbox environment just like the first.

[QUOTE="Iantheone"][QUOTE="windsquid9000"]Elaborate. I'm not sure how that could possibly make sense :?

The buildings are nothing to brag about, and to the left is even more backdrops and weaksauce view distance.

Mr_BillGates

Yah it looks pretty bad.

[QUOTE="windsquid9000"]

[QUOTE="Iantheone"] Better physics, larger maps, less scripted events and etc. Kind of like how ArmA2 can do some really amazing things for how ugly it isIantheone

Let's not forget the procedural destruction in Crysis 2, though.

As I said, I was nitpicking over tiny details (which is necessary for comparing physics engines). At first, I didn't notice them either. Also, Crytek has stated that you could be walking down the street and have a building collapse next to you and if you want to include them in the physics category, there's also the procedural destruction on pretty much everything (originally seen only on palm trees in C1) and procedural deformation.

Bullshot central. They look amazing but remember the Crysis bullshots? They're on the back of the box none of them are from gameplay. BUT they are representative of about 90% of the games visual fildelity so this is indeed a great sign. Some of those shots are mighty impressive.

I know for a fact Crysis is capable of better textures than those ones shown in OP's. He just showed some bad pictures, and console games can do textures better than OP's pics.

I might be misinterpreting but how are scripited events bad? IMO the first Crysis felt a bit outdated. I'm not saying it was a bad game.It just felt a little behind other modern FPS's.

Although Crysis was a great game, I personally lost interest when aliens came into it. Fighting the real soldiers was awesome though.

I have mods and it's still not more impressive. Have you played Crysis recently? The textures are not the highlight feature whatsoever. rolo107

I have never seen a car texture in Crysis 1 that looks like it has been stretched to that extent. Regardless of what you think of the textures in Crysis 1, the ones we have seen in Crysis 2 are not an improvement over them.

I seriously hope the PC version has better textures, because with GPUs today; there is absolutely no reason why we should be made to use the console textures.

Is it just me or are those screenshots really blurry? Is this some kind of fake AA for consoles or what?

looks pretty good, wonder how much would it take to build a pc that can run this @ average settingsFILIPINOMAZTER

Since CE3 is supposed to run Crysis 1 levels at double the framerate id imagine it wouldnt take that much at all...
