Crysis 2 Screenshots... Holy Hell!

[David Bray]

Promo shots dude

 

[Metal Brother]

I'll buy a new video card to run that. Looks amazing!

 

[danosaurus]

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

Yet your Avatar depicts 2 sweaty, muscly men in leotards performing the crotch-sniff suplex?

Go figure :S

That has to be promo art.

I would be excited, but because I don't have a $20,000 customized gaming computer, why get excited about something that I won't be able to play until affordable computers that are powerful enough are available (about, oh, 2 decades from now).

Reminds me of this;

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

That's just promo art.

It HAS to be just promo art.

wow they look incredibal but i dont think there in game it looks to clean and crisp and smooth

They aren't in game shots, so it wont look anywhere near as good, but it will still be gorgoues.

Hehe, people still believe screenshots. shish...

Just remember, Screenshots lie. They look good, but come to game time they are just clever pics.

OT: holy shit, you best come out on console!

I call B.S.
Most of them look like they have had the sharpness notched up to make them look better at a glance.

Promo shots dude

Really? I'm pretty sure these will look closer to in-game graphics than most people presume.

Don't under-estimate the freaks at Crytek labs - The original Crysis still visually outdoes a LOT of newly released games nowadays and the engine was built 3 years ago. I just hope they optimise the engine more efficiently this time - I've got X-fired dual 4870's running on my beast CPU and I still can't max out all settings on Crysis 1

Are those real?!

I'll be in my Bunk...


Actually if OnLive get's its act together we may all be able to play it on an iPhone.

 

[L3m0n_L1m3]

I coudn't get this bacuse the very loading screen would make my computer shrivel-up and die in shame....*unhappy face*

I do believe it's coming out on consoles as well, if that's any consolation.

OT: My... God....

*eyes melt*

Oh hello shit in my pants, I didn't realize you were there.
Seriously to put it in words is impossible. Maybe that $4,500 computer from that quiz on Supreme Commander 2 will be able to run it even if barely.

Install Crysis 2 on Skynet and you win automatically. Give a copy to the borg and watch a borg cube get memory errors. "I can't let you run that Dave."

 

[GreyWolf257]

Beautiful, but not beautiful enough for me to pay the ungodly amount of money it would require for a new computer that would run it.

 

[Sir_Tor]

Meh theres better games on the market. I played through the first one and have never played another crysis game after that. Seriously no matter what diff you'r playing on common cannon fodder shouln't be able to take a headshot from a sniper! And for godsakes you'r a überly trained special force unit who the government spent millions of daollars on and you can't even hold your weapon still lying down?

 

[kidigus]

WOAH!

Dammit, my PC exploded trying to display the screenshots...

Then how did you post this?

Anyway the shots probly arn't as spectacular during gameplay.

 

[Carnagath]

Ok, and they optimized this so well that, as they claim, it runs flawlessly on the consoles too? We'll see...

 

[YuheJi]

It probably won't look quite that good anywhere, but that's fairly common for video games. From what I've heard, CryEngine 3 is mainly an improvement in optimization over CryEngine 2, so hopefully a computer that can run Crysis well enough can run Crysis 2 even better.

 

[danosaurus]

Oh hello shit in my pants, I didn't realize you were there.

This earns you an IRL LOL ^_^

 

[Comma-Kazie]

I'm going to need more steroids for my video cards . . . or a pair of 285s, depending on which is cheaper.

 

[phar]

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.

ugh so sick of people saying this garbage. Most people could run it fine, it was their choice not to or like most pc gamers refuse to play a game that isnt on absolutely maximum detail and like 100fps. The minimum requirements are really nothing even for 2 years ago they are pretty basic.

Im sure if its on consoles you wont need much of a PC to run it.

 

[NotAPie]

OH MY GOD.
Look at it, it's fucking eye candy.

 

[auronvi]

Those "screenshots" are probably not actual game footage. I am sure that those might be levels in the game but probably prerendered.

No HUD, no gun, and it has perfect anti-aliasing.

Don't get me wrong, the game is probably going to look about as good as that, just not that perfect! Those are prerendered promo art shots. Publicity!!!

 

[The Buck Stops Here]

I'm not too impressed, they're straining to make things so realistic that it's approaching uncanny valley levels. It seems awkward, although it looks nice.
