Crysis 2 Screenshots... Holy Hell!

[ProfessorLayton]

Good LORD that is pretty. I normally don't buy games because of the graphics but... wow...

 

[DoctorNick]

I really, really hate having to quote Yahtzee but the phrase 'hypothetical future computer FROM SPACE' comes to mind.

 

[JokerCrowe]

I actually think it's going to be on consoles as well. (I mean a PS3 basically IS a hypothetical super computer from space : )

 

[Sewblon]

That is pretty, now if only they would get creative with the art-direction.

 

[wooty]

I'll be dammed if I'm going to splash out on the £2000 odd pounds it'll take to run this thing

 

[Bludge]

With any luck they'll get the optimisations right for a wider range of PC's than Crysis, Warhead was better, so there's hope.

Really? i found warhead ran worse on my rig then the original. (with all settings cranked right up on dx9. and with the little hacks for some of the dx10 stuff on xp for the original)

Now where do i find the devil i need to sell my soul for a computer to run that.
If it's on consoles i wonder how the 360 would fare.

What's the use of a game that nobody can play full graphics when it is released anyway? Don't get me wrong *drools*, but isn't that just boxing yourself in into a niche market?

Still, I think more developers should do that stuff, just for kicks. Advanced graphics are awesome.

Reminds me of this;

Crysis 1 didn't look THAY good. They are obviously "Promo shots"

thats concept art, not an in game screenshot. these are in game/engine shots and not concept art so likely yes, that is what the game looks like. they are promo shots, but they are in game as well.

Largely theoretical for me, anyway. Unless Crytek pulls a Chris Taylor and makes Crysis 2 have LOWER system requirements, I won't be able to play it at all - I have to turn the dial on Crysis 1 down to 1280x720 to get a decent frame rate.

For those of us whose PCs cost under $1000US, I'll take the blocky but functional Supreme Commander 2 over the shiny but imaginary Crysis.

ce2 was very badly unoptimized, there are several mods out there that make the game run much better without any visual hits, similar to the operation optimization mod for oblivion. if ce3 is better optimized than it might have lower requirements than crysis.

 

[Vanguard_Ex]

By the beard of Zeus, that looks amazing!

 

[xHipaboo420x]

That's just promo art.

It HAS to be just promo art.

 

[dodo1331]

Anyone remember Crysis and how no one could run it until two years later (now)?

Yea. I remember that. 'Twas fun. Time to start the cycle again.

 

[Archemetis]

So, we're all already forgetting one of the things mentioned in today's ENN?

Y'know the little something about how pretty the screen-shots always look compared to the actual games?

 

[Hotshots]

GOOD GOD...MY EYES!!

 

[MR T3D]

thing is, it looks a little bit too shiny to me.

and don't fret, there will be console versions, they'll just not look as good.
but still somewhat nice, i believe
oh,

I'd appreciate it more if the armour was less.... revealing?
metal bulge makes my homophobic self uncomfortable.

MAXIMUM SEXY.
players of the first game just read that in the suit's male voice.
would you like the female one:
Maximum sexy..
there, i give both options, FOR EVERYONE!

 

[MysticnFm]

Looks pretty sweet. And I standbye the fact that Crysis and Crysis: Warhead were still FUN games if you take them at face value. Kind of like a brain numbing fun.

 

[Uber Evil]

I actually think it's going to be on consoles as well. (I mean a PS3 basically IS a hypothetical super computer from space : )

That is confirmed. It will be on 360, PS3, and PC.
