Multiplat Crysis 2

[pinkus maximus]

also to sacka...about where do you rate the crysis2 graphics?..compare it to a current ps3 game

I'm not sacka but I can answer that because I've played a heap of PS3 games. I'd say it's a rung below the big PS3 exclusives like Killzone, Uncharted, GOW, but above the likes of Resistance. On a technical level (not that I know much about that) it seems to run similar to Halo:Reach. It has this really nice motion blur which makes the game loook better in motion rather than a screenshot

resistance's graphics are pretty shitty imo so that's disappointing knowing that it's only slightly above average.
i was thinking it would be a decent way infront of kz2 but behind uncharted2 and god of war3

 

[sacka]

Like PinkM said. they are good but not the best on the market like the devoloper said it was going to be, but imo graphics are not the problem (even though some think thats all that matters in gaming)
Thats for 360 and im sure it will be a lot better for PC, maybe it should have stayed a PC only game.

I havn't had a chance to give it another crack but truthfully i dont have much interest go back for more.

BTW PC are getting a MP demo.

On a technical level it's ahead of U2 and KZ2.

Despite your terrible attempts at a troll. No, the answer is no, a big no. HUGE no in fact.

http://www.lensoftruth.com/?p=27215
The biggest technical level first up:

Kilzone 2’s multiplayer native resolution is 1280 x 720 (QAA), while the Crysis 2 multiplayer demo’s resolution appears to be running sub HD 1152 x 720 (selective AA), which ironically is the same resolution as Halo: Reach.

2 year old KZ2 out-performs current Crysis 2...cya back here when you try and push your next title as being better than clearly superior titles.

BTW can you show me videos of Uncharted 2's shadow draw in from about 10 metres away? Because I'd like to see that considering it's showing up in every single showing of Crysis 2.

 

[LionMen]

Will probably get this or Homefront. Leaning towards Homefront coz this looks a little Halo-y online (not a big fan of halo multiplayer) For some reason when i tried playing the demo my xbox froze so haven't actually experienced it.

ROFL, baby's trying to talk tech.

Firstly, I had nothing to do with the making of Crysis 2, so not sure what 'push your next title' is about. Is this not a multiplat game? Though with PS3s record in multiplat games I can see why you're nervous. Another Bayonetta???

Secondly, it's hilarious that you take a site like LoT seriously. Go to an industry forum and see what their opinion of LoT is. Pure opinion, I would trust something you came up with over them. Well, maybe not. Check this:

'Lastly, both Killzone 2 MP and the Crysis 2 MP demo utilized a Real Time Soft Particle System. This system simplifies the creation of extremely complex explosions, fire, smoke, and other special effects using next generation soft particles. This in turn can be affected by: collisions with any other objects, forces such as wind or gravity, and can also interact with lights and shadows. This effect was easily seen when engaged in a heated fire fight with the enemy. For example, when an incoming bullet or explosion would interact with the environment,pieces of scrap metal and debris would bounce off and around objects creating some intense altercations. Killzone 2 and Crysis 2 handled these effects about the same.'

They don't even know what soft particles are.

Have you seen the KZ2 v GoW2 comparison video? The commentary is so inaccurate it's not even funny.

KZ2s lightmapped environments v C2s fully realtime GI (let me save you a google, global illumination). The 'Procedural Breaking' in Crysis is much more advanced and incorporated than KZ2s minimal destructability. HDR, OMB, SSAO all in C2. Seems to be some LOD issues, but if the first couple of Crysis' are any indication, general IQ is toned down fairly significantly for the multiplayer modes. The demo was compiled quite a while ago and some tweaking and fixes have apparently been done.

Give it a rest, stay away from LoT, wait until the final thing is out, and if it's good on PS3 I'm sure you'll be sucking it's **** in no time.

It's really all an invalid argument anyway considering KZ3 is out next month and Crysis 2 the month after. We can come back to it then...Digital Foundry will have something by then, got a beef against them?

But in regards to your last comment, no I don't give a rats clacker about Crysis 2, as I've said, what maybe 10-15 times?

FWIW Crytek have stated that the engines have positives and negatives on both consoles yet run mostly the same.

 

[Kerrby]

Wow, I didn't realize Uncharted 2 looked so bad.

 

[Bombertastic]

Agree with a lot of what has been said here. Played the demo and gave up on it. Didn't really struggle to play it's just there is a lot I don't like about it. I never really noticed that there is no AA in the game. Not a problem with that. What I didn't like was three things mainly. There were more but I will just mention three.

1. Melee is too damn powerful. It seems like a game that you really need to hit an enemy with quite a few bullets but yet there is a one hit melee. Plus the fact that you can go invisible and the ratio of beat downs to other kills is too damn high.

2. ADS (Aim down sights) is too slow compared to hip firing. I'm talking in terms of sensitivity. I cranked up the sens to make it easier to ADS but then it's too sensitive firing from the hip.

3. I don't know if it's me or good old Aussie lag but the hit detection is off in this game. It could be lag I guess but I just didn't think I was getting value for my shots.

Not going to buy it. Single player will be awesome but I'm all about the MP.

Sorry champ, I try to read as few of your posts as possible, must have missed this. Why is this anyway? Gameplay couldn't be any worse than KZ2.

It looks terrible (AI especially too). Might not be worse than KZ2, but KZ2 was known to have a few issues.

KZ3 however has improved and I'm noticing far better gameplay from the beta, of which plenty of others will notice in a few days time when the open beta arrives. Also I'm invested in the KZ story too right now, I haven't the faintest idea of Crysis' story.

I'll get the demo of Crysis 2 if it does come out, but the MP is certainly nothing I'm caring about. I do want to see more of the SP, but again, none of this is floating my boat more than about 10-15 other games on my watch list.

EDIT: Also dedicated servers for MP, forgot that one, remembered when looking at all the posts talking about the terrible hit markers/lag.

EA and Crytek announced today that a new Crysis 2 multiplayer demo will arrive on PC and Xbox 360 on March 1 with a PS3 demo coming soon.
the new demo includes two maps, “Skyline” and “Pier 17”, as well as two modes “Team Instant Action” and “Crash Site”.

Gee they must have copped a flogging after the last "beta"
Might have to give it a go to see if any imptovements have been made.

 

[JordanWCE]

Crysis 2 Demo: Round 2, lets hope it's better this time around.

Pier 17 was actually in the original demo, people stumbled onto it originally by luck, before it was removed by Crytek.

 

[FGMPR]

Neogaf is full of people saying how bad Crysis 2 looks on PS3...

It doesn't look anywhere near as good as the PC leaked beta, but I think it looks pretty bloody good for a console game. Obviously that goes for the 360 version as well. Crytek seem to have done a great job for all three platforms.

I just hope that it still feels like Crysis, because as far as I'm concerned, Crysis was a top 3 FPS game of the last decade, and I want an evolution of that, not a simplification.

Yea i'm not sure what people want out of a console?
It's never going to get close to what a PC can do graphics wise.

Imo it didn't look that bad in the vid i posted, but in saying that even in the "demo" i played on 360 it did lack something, not sure what it was but i just felt it could be better.

Gaf would say the best looking games look shit tbh.

The game on PS3 from that footage Sacka posted looks the same as 360.

It's not the best looking console game though, or FPS, Killzone 3 has it covered easily. Probably the best looking multiplatform title, I'd like to see what the Gaffers think is the best looking multiplat title going around.

Gameplay wise I couldn't be more bored by all the footage shown still. Even the SP stuff is looking like arse.

 

[sacka]

Seriously?

Yes, people expect graphics that of a pc from a console, it's not going to happen.
Do you think differently?
