What is so special graphically about Crysis 2 (On consoles) and Rage?

Rage is hyped to the max. Crysis 2 is automatically something to talk about but it looks like its going to be the the big disappointment.

Because you've played both? Are you purposely trolling, because someone can't be this ignorant. :|

WhenCicadasCry

Nope, it's not like any of Cryteks games have had fantastic gameplay that compliment the graphics. :P

Crysis put me to sleep. I was knocked out asleep.

[QUOTE="windsquid9000"] But they have awesome visuals. The developers couldn't have spent time on anything else, right?

Personally I'm very impressed with the way Rage is turning out. It looks like a high end PC title (with a few sacrifices here and there). Crysis 2 looks pretty good as well but I'm not overly impressed with it at this stage. The textures look a little low res and the enemies seem entirely too scripted. But hey, that's just my opinion.

2. The A.I. at it's best hasn't been shown yet since it was demoed on easy.

3. The game's not done yet.

I believe you highlighted the wrong part. ;)

Rage looks and plays great whereas Crysis 2 looks and plays like a generic shooter.

Crysis 2 particles look so bad compared to KZ2 with the sparks having no physics.

And face it Crysis 2 is a KZ poser using deferred lighting and lens flares everywhere.

:lol: Crysis 2s particle effects are affected by wind.

Bouncing sparks are the most unrealistic physics ever. SPARKS DO NOT BOUNCE, THEY DISSIPATE. I know Killzone is so insecure that it has to overexaggerate everything just to seem 8).

So you're impressed with things that look unnatural? Right-o. :roll:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTFQp625FqI Crytek could have done this, but you know why they never? It looks ridiculous.

Crysis 2 and Killzone 3 are tied for me. It'll change once they both come out and I play them.

[QUOTE="killzowned24"] Hollywood effects man. just look at the crysis particle mod, you ant tell me that doesnt blow away the vanilla version.killzowned24

That's preference. It doesn't mean that the Cryengine isn't capable of it.

[QUOTE="killzowned24"][QUOTE="AAllxxjjnn"] Because Killzone 2 invented deferred lighting and lens flare...?

Ravensmash

Comparison: Killzone 2 / 3 looks like a game, while some parts of Crysis 2 looks like a movie.

i get the hype around crysis 2, but i think alot of people are seeing the pc version and expecting the xbox one to look just as good which will never happen.

but rage really doesn't impress me. it looks very good for an open world game but not spectacular really.

KZ3 on the other hand seems to be shaping up as the new console graphical benchmark just as KZ2 was before it :)

[QUOTE="killzowned24"] it does look stupid cause he over did it.KZ2 spews out the perfect amount to looks awesome and still real enough for game world.killzowned24

That's preference. It doesn't mean that the Cryengine isn't capable of it.

It is an overly distracting visual flair that is neither necessary nor realistic... They only reason they did it was so they could have something to show off in demos as "hey look what we can do."

All it does is add more useless effects to the screen that make it even more difficult to tell what is going on.. Honestly, I think Crysis 2 already has enough crazy particle effects going on that fill up the screen and distract from the gameplay...

they were demoing the Xbox 360 build of Crysis 2 at E3... That is what we have been seeing.

we install solar panel arrays on roofs sometimes and the rails they are mounted on all come at one lenght which we usually need to chop and change :)

[QUOTE="killzowned24"]

[QUOTE="ferret-gamer"] you do know that source, a last gen engine, has physics particles including sparks, kz2's sparks arent anything new. and also you do know that bullets rarely if ever spark.delta3074

[QUOTE="delta3074"]why would an electrician be using a grinder? please explain as my old man has been a sparkie for 50 years, and he doesn't even own a grinder, i fail to see the application, do you need to grind wires or something?delta3074

it's pretty fun to mix things up from our usual work. also we get to work in a group rather than one or two guys so we have a good time :)

Give it up guys. The same spark effect EVERY single time looks terrible compared to sparks with physics where each shot gives a different effect.

killzowned24

good thing it isn't the same every time in Crysis 2 because it is either affected by physics, having collisions and dissipating or they have a TON of different spark effects, at which point there really isn't any noticable difference..... The spark effects almost always look different based on directionality and surroundings..
