So I see a lot of people saying that modded crysis is better than crysis 2...

BUT

is vanilla crysis better than crysis 2? and why no one ever talks about modded crysis 2? maybe there arent mods so far, but it would be logical to assume they'll look better than modded crysis 1

I think that for the most part,Crysis is a better looking and more impressive game than Crysis 2. At least that´s how I see it.

Crysis 2 doesn't have a sandbox editor so probably the most we will get is the same level of modding as warhead, or less.

Here are some vanilla crysis shots:

Even unmodded Crysis seems better than Crysis 2. Crysis 2 seems artificial in a way, too many unnatural effects.

wow crysis at night doesnt look impressive at all, not for me at least

Crysis technically looks better.. But I think the majority of Crysis 2 to me is more appealing to look at.. The forest settings gets old FAST.. sSubZerOo

At least Crysis 1 is not full of bloom and blur, it has a clean look. Plus it offers an open world, C2 can't beat that.

I can think of a few scenes that looked great.. Finding Aztec.. When the Americans Invade and you just get off the drop ship.. The tank battle.. Outside of that the forest gets old fast.. People keep giving me these shots of the same first level of the freaking game it seems.. And completely ignore when the game is getting visually amazing when your inside the mountain, ont he frozen side of the moutain and on the aircraft carrier.. I felt that Crysis 2's setting felt much more dynamic and interesting and was able to get a far more varied environment..

The game is really only open the first few levels.. And than you consistently dragged into a more narrative driven plot.. To me the sandbox part of the game was the useless part of it half the time.. There was little point to explore.. The great thing about it was the ability to tackle the problem at multiple directions or ways..

Vanilla Crysis 2 > Vanilla Crysis. Modded Crysis looks better though. Eventually, the way I see it, there should be mods eventually that make modded Crysis 2 > modded Crysis. And if Crysis 2 was PC exclusive but looked exactly the same I guarantee you that all the PC elitists would be running around system wars saying it's miles ahead of everything else.

Sadly I don't have Crysis installed and I don't have any of my odded images in 1920*1080--- Luckiy, Crysis 1 has a demo!

I suppose if the demo is any indication, Crysis 2 is'nt the only game featuring blur. On the other hand, I suppose it's supposed to blur when you move or get shot.

Righto.

Sadly, you can't say Crysis 2 without showing this:

Probably as good an excuse as any to post a bunch of new unmodded Crysis: Warhead screens. I don't think Crysis 2 beats it. It's very good looking in some ways but Crysis 1 is still more impressive, especially considering it's a 2007 game.

Vanilla Crysis is DEFINATELY better than crysis 2

Crysis 1 is far behind Crysis 2, it uses a dated engine

I'll repeat what I said in the other thread. While technically crysis 1 is better, I think all the cover up/effects and the superior animations make crysis 2 much more appealing, at least to me.

But I think the majority of Crysis 2 to me is more appealing to look at.. The forest settings gets old FAST.. sSubZerOo

Thankfully Crysis 2 is on New York instead of a island. Again.

I did play FarCry so the island theme got old for me right at Crysis Warhead

yes.

also the crysis 1 demo has nerfed settings. those pics arent a good representation of what Vanilla Crysis looks like. I was playing it yesterday, SO BEAUTIFUL

To me a jungle isn't as imposing or mysterious as a vacant city.. This idea alone to me makes the second game more appealing, especially with the stuff you come across and what not..

Technically Crysis 2 engine is far more advanced actually

No question. Vanilla Crysis/Warhead on max detail settings look significantly better than Crysis 2.

What on Earth are you talking about? CryEngine 2 was completely tailored to the PC, while Cryengine 3 is a gimped mess IMO. Tailoring it for consoles really killed it. It still looks pretty good, but not nearly as good as Vanilla Crysis or Warhead maxed out. Those are still overall the best-looking. Not best textures (Metro 2033 IMO), but best overall.

I never played crysis 1, but crysis 2 just spikes all over with my gpu from 30-98

Crysis 1 and Warhead still look the best unmodded. Crysis 2 also looks great, but there are a few games that surpass it, especially because Crysis 2 tends to be a lot less consistent in terms of how it looks. Especially the open areas lacked sharpness, it seemed.

To a point, I still think the first looks better. At the same time though, Crysis 2 kinda has that smoke and mirrors feel to the graphics, like Killzone did, not to say that either of those games looked bad.

Actually vanilla Crysis Warhead has the crown.

So i just noticed that my Crysis case is empty and EA are not being productive about refreshing my Warhead key so I purchased Maximum Edition off of Steam. Status so far is that I'm downloading Crysis as we speak.

Modding? What is modding? I'll leave the judgement to better people for now and maintain my own criteria.

As of right now, our very own Wasdie has created an application that let's you tweak the settings of Crysis 2 through the autoexec.cfg fie. Would it be interesting if I were to pit these two games against eachother?

Simple rules:

CFGs will be tweaked. Both games allow it.

No mods

All screenshots will remain 1920*1080 and taken through Steam.

I'd take suggestions to improve the visuals of each game of course.

An island with a jungle, that's what I hated on Crysis and FarCry. Besides, it's not like wasn't clear enough.

Also, look at the hilarious suggestions that the check spelling button gave me:

It does'nt really work ike that. What I did initially was find a cfg that was completely maxed and then I started adjusting things, completely removing sections I just wanted to use with standard Very high.

I don't really have any low end experience but with acceptable levels of physics and particles I found that shaders, objects and textures we're the parts that needed a little more attention than "very high".

I'm sorry I can't really help you with making it run well but my solution to performance issues in Crysis was to get a second 460.

What? Under that same logic I'd rather play Crysis 2 with it's lack of options that runs well instead of that.

Also, don't you know CUDAATS?

[QUOTE="SaltyMeatballs"] You have any CFG recommendations for Crysis 1? One I would like is a max framerate is that possible?SaltyMeatballs

the water esspecially in vannila crysis looks way better then crysis 2

Crysis 2 locations (note that the first two are pretty much the same in many cases):
City streets
On rooftops
In buildings
In parks
Subway stations/tunnels

Crysis locations:
Beaches
Mountain peaks/mountainsides
Valleys
Plains
Swamps
Farms
Mining areas
Caves
Shipping docks
Villages
Alien mothership with a zero-G environment
Snow covered versions of most of the above, so this list is actually about twice as large as it's typed out
