World's very first video of Crysis 2's gameplay...Wow

[Tharwen]

I now have a new game for my wishlist...

And I want to see if my awesome PC can take it.

 

[superbatranger]

Man, good thing it's going to be on the 360. I have nowhere near enough money to buy a new computer.

 

[Sightless Wisdom]

Hopefully I'll be able to get a six core AMD and a Nvidia Geforce GTX 250 in my pc before this releases. Because I really want to play this one.

Why get a GTX 250 they came out in 2008 since they are effectivly 9800 GTX's

I wrote 250, but I was thinking 275. Now that I look at it though the GTX 9800 my actually be a better card anyway.

now that the crysis series has gone multiplat, does PC gaming have anything worthwhile left?

I didn't know CryMods were going to consoles?

I lol'ed. As if Crysis was ever a thing to be proud to own a PC about.

How about the entire RTS genre? TF2?

TF2 is on consoles, and the RTS genre is enjoyed by only a relatively small minority.

TF2 is not on consoles. Theres this silly twisted thing CALLED TF2 on consoles, but it sure as hell isn't the full experience. The question was not "is there something on PC that everyone likes?" but rather "is there still any thing left on PC that kicks ass?"

Hell Yes there is.

HEheheh I am laughing at the worse cryengine.. That's right folks, you won't need a new pc the engine is dumbed down for consoles!

 

[tombman888]

well, it looks great, love the setting and i hope the customization feature they were talking about turns out god. I'll probably get this game when it comes out.

 

[Contextualizer]

Is it bad that all i can really see are the slow, stiffened, unnatural movements associated with thumbstick controls?

I'm also not seeing any evidence of auto-aim, either. Which means console gamers are going to hate it.

Haha, it's funny you mention that because I can always tell when a multiplatform game is being shown on video with a controller or with a mouse. It just looks so hilariously stiff and rigid.

Anyway, some of you don't realize that an optimizing engine not only allows lower powered systems to play games, but it also raises the ceiling for high powered machines as well. You guys need to stand back and just relax and think for a moment.

Besides, it's not like you can play Crysis Warhead at 2560x1600 at full spec anyway.

71 frames per second with three of the most powerful graphics cards in the world all running at the same time and they can only manage 2x AA at 2560x1600? That's $1500 for just the video cards alone, not to mention a 1200 watt power supply and the $1000 CPU.

? I'm confused why would you want to buy a 2 year old graphics card for a PC with a 6 core CPU
when you could get a Dx.11 ATi or Nvidia from 2010

Grab something like a 5830

Considering cheap 2560x1600 monitors start at $1100 and decent ones start at $2200, another $1500 isn't that much of a stretch.

Not to mention crytek established a while ago that this version of cry engine would focus on optimization. Not surprising, as even crysis still makes any unreal3 game look like shit.

That only proves my point. Very few people will ever actually see the ceiling of what the engine/game can do.

Crysis makes everything look bad

 

[GiantRedButton]

I notice a lack of the expected fanboys from both sides.
Gotta love the escapist

 

[Sgt. Dante]

looks shiney as hell, but my pc chugs in WOW. so I'll have to upgrade.

How is it more generic?

I dunno, it just isn't as distinctive looking as the original was. Of course, it all comes down to how the game feels, which you don't see in trailers, but going on purely visual cues alone, it doesn't draw me in.

Maybe because the first took place in a jungle and this one takes place in New York that makes you feel its generic.
