Pirandello Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 I'm honestly just waiting for more info on it before I judge. But anyways: Some beautiful pictures for you to look at (taken from a PC Gamer preview)! City vanity shot! Some Marines dropping (in first person). Also, very pretty. If you have to pick one to look at, look at this one. Jeeps with guns! Ebil alien robot! He's got a car! Shoot him! An actual (probably early) representation of the ingame HUD. Early representation of the ingame HUD. Pretty, yes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faiblesse Des Sens Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 Are the first 4 or so pics HDR edited? Anyways, there isn't enough info out there for you? The game is nearly out ffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mal Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 I beat the first game and Warhead around New Year. I think the gameplay is pretty solid and fun. As with the graphics. Yeah, they are drop dead gorgeous. With those screenshots for Crysis 2, no different but they look funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staySICK Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 the first few look off, like FDS said, maybe HDR edited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirandello Posted January 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 My eyes! They have been deceived! Noooooooo! Still, though, the only thing I seem to like of the game so far is the sliding (sliding is fun), and the setting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enervation Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 Only HDR could ever pull off such an insane glare like that. Oh, Oblivion, you HDR poster child you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faiblesse Des Sens Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 Only HDR could ever pull off such an insane glare like that. Oh, Oblivion, you HDR poster child you. That's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking like an actual HDR edit like a photographer would do. First GIS hit: HDR in games is nothing like that (yet) except for the damn sun effect.

Enervation Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 HDR in games is nothing like that (yet) except for the damn sun effect. Dohohoho. If that's what HDR is supposed to be like, I still don't like it. Gives it an almost unnatural shine. But that's just my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faiblesse Des Sens Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 That's kind of the point. It's meant to be more than the human eye can see just by looking at something. Better than human vision. I always equate it to it being the equivalent of looking through the eyes of animal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 So, if I recall correctly, Crysis 2's CryEngine 3 should be better optimism so that you won't need a machine from the future to play it on high like what Crysis did when it came out, right?

deanb Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 right. It'll probably require machines that when Crysis came out were considered exotic, but by todays standard are medium grade stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enervation Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 *insert waaah Crysis 2 console dev screws over PC comment* I dunno, with Crytek's insistence on ultimate 3D, they might just end up letting everyone down for another flashy game. Personally I'm hoping they don't. An urban sprawl offers so much more creativity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faiblesse Des Sens Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 Mentioning it one soon before your games release is a big deal? Sorry, but in case you haven't noticed, they've started going all out with their marketing as we near closer to release date. I wouldn't worry about such things.

deanb Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 The 3D thing has only been mentioned once? If memory serves they showed Crysis 2 off at E3 fully in 3D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faiblesse Des Sens Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 As in , talking about it as the ultimate 3D experience. Before it was just "we got 3d yo" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 Getting kinda specific there. And surely if they wren't pimping Crysis 2's 3D prowess they wouldn't of bothered making a 3D trailer for E3? There's plenty of games out there with 3D support, I can't think of any that went out of their way to equip several thousand game journous with glasses at E3.

NeoStarr Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 Crysis 2 has been on my most wanted list since I saw this... It's hasn't been confirmed that this will be used in game yet, but one of the developers of this demo works for CryTek and one of the Crysis trailers prominently features a skyscraper falling down. I'm willing to bet it's pretty likely that we'll be able to blow shit up on a whole new level in this game. They better add cheats so I can just load up on rocket launchers right off the bat and tear shit down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thursday Next Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 The 3D in Crysis is very good. It's definitely a step above the usual nvidia compatible tacked-on 3D that other FPS's get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akuam4n Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 But, do many people actually have a 3d monitor and glasses? And like I have said other places, 3D is a no go for me (especially for gaming) until it's glasses free, like the 3DS. I don't want to have to wear my glasses, then a pair of 3D glasses, and then have a massive headset on at the same time. No way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yantelope Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 I know it had kind of been admitted that the original Crysis was poorly coded for multithreading. Is there any word on how this will run on similar systems to the old engine? Hopefully they've taken the time to optimize the engine much better than the old one.

Akuam4n Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 Haha, I'm patient. I don't even really like 3D. Good to hear they are working on it at least though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirandello Posted January 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 I heard they were having a Crysis 2 MP beta sometime soon. On the 360. >_> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
