Title: Crysis 2
Post by: rassmatic on June 01, 2009, 10:36:20 AM
Quote
After years of hints and tech-demo teases, the Crysis series is finally headed to consoles. This morning, Electronic Arts and German developer Crytek announced the development of Crysis 2 for the PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3. The game will be the first console title that the notoriously PC-centric studio will develop directly for consoles, having let Ubisoft develop the console spin-offs for its groundbreaking 2004 first-person shooter Far Cry. Ubisoft bought the Far Cry IP outright in 2006. No release date was given.

"The development of Crysis 2 marks a major stepping stone for our studio," said Crytek CEO and President Cevat Yerli in a statement. "This is not only the next game in the Crysis franchise, it’s the first title we are developing for consoles and the first title being built on CryEngine 3." In March, the CryEngine3 was shown off to Game Developers Conference attendees running on the 360 and PS3.

As part of today's announcement, EA and Crytek also announced they were extending their strategic partnership forged in 2004. The deal came shortly after Far Cry, became both a critical and commercial hit on the PC for Ubisoft, which EA still owns one fifth of. The is part of the EA Partners program which allows developers to pick and choose marketing, sales,and development support services from the megapublisher. Current EA Partners and games include Harmonix (Rock Band), Valve (The Orange Box and Left 4 Dead), Grasshopper Manufacture (Unnamed PC/PS3/360/Wii project), and Epic Games (Untitled People Can Fly Project).

let's hope they spend more time optimizing the game for it various platforms this time.

lol, yea moved to this section now since this isnt a PC exclusive anymore.

Yeah...another one bites the dust.

So I played this demo/beta and boy oh boy. Graphics are a LITTLE better than Black Ops but as usual, absolutely NO aa and running @ 360p doesnt help...at all.

Seems as though the xbox is STRUGGLING with this engine, I say 15-20 fps MAX. They should have at least had the damn thing FIRST on one of the more powerful systems, even PS3 could have done a better job.

Although I dont see this game getting much better on this console (sigh) they have 2 more months to see what they can do.

They better bring out a PC demo too because I certainly not buying it without trying it out first.

Post by: Eroo on January 26, 2011, 07:47:00 AM
I'm pretty sure its 720p, 360p is below even normal SD resolution. A lot of reviewers mentioned that the 360 version had controller lag, did you experience this?
Title: Re: Crysis 2
Post by: TriniXaeno on January 26, 2011, 07:52:21 AM
lol @ another one bites the dust.

lol @ 360P, capitan was just exaggerating eroo. Making jest of how paltry the xbox 360's resolution is when compared to the ultra high resolutions we enjoy on the PC.

Any ETA on the PC demo?
Title: Re: Crysis 2
Post by: Berzerk on January 26, 2011, 07:59:28 AM

Title: Re: Crysis 2
Post by: Spazosaurus on January 26, 2011, 08:05:43 AM
Man, that controller lag is GRAPHICS lag. Good ole low-azz fps lag.

One controller related problem (could have had something to do with the xim but didnt happen in Black Ops) is that switching to secondary weapons didnt always work.

And whoever bright idea it was to have players actually have a grenade as a selectable weapon should be maimed with a well cooked grenade.

So its like this...main gun=> press for pistol=> press again for grenade THEN trigger for throw. Sigh.

A PC demo hasnt even been announced and I am not even expecting one. But if they want a possible sale from me, they better release one cuz im definitely not buying this on console and PC is iffy atm.

lol, I trying to bite my tongue here but.....

Quote
It's CEO Cevat Yerli has been vocal about his issues with releasing PC games due to piracy.

So Crysis doing a blackops....that is to say......"PC gamers could haul dey stink dutty mc for having pirated the game from genesis"

I don't agree with the PC being sidelined...no sir, not at all......but there is absolutely no mystery behind the reason for the platform getting the cold shoulder by developers and publishers alike.

I real laugh in the comments in that article awesome posted....some men response to this move is that they going and pirate the game. lol

Talk about not getting the point. (likewise with the PS3/Xbox360 being hacked argument)

For clarity....the point is return on investment. If the game is being bought on platform A and not on Platform B, we will develop for Platform A and to ass with Platform B.

Simple and real.

forgot to add....extreme lol @ eroo making a PC demo personally

Post by: TriniXaeno on January 26, 2011, 02:02:39 PM
In utopia, game developers would create games just for the warm fuzzy feeling.

In the real world, they do it to put bread on the table. To feed their families (that requires actual game sales).

When you beat a game check the credits.....there are a lot of bread winners scrolling down your screen. Not just the CEO.

no sales = no developers = no games

Which is why I'm a big advocate of supporting the industry by buying good games.

Vote with your dollars, not with your torrents (those don't count)

*W1nTry holds out a olive branch to Capn*

I have yet to actually play the demo, I dl it last night but haven't tried it yet (same for bulletstorm). The initial feedback is bad so I hope my experience is bareable later... that being said the ONLY hope to stop piracy is FULL FLEDGED digital distribution OR having a certificate locking mechanism controlled through A VERY EFFICIENT and DEDICATED NOC to update certificates for changes and customer issues... the cost of either... well developers are going console aren't they...
I myself never played out Crysis of Warhead (didn't have hardware capable of playing it the way I wanted to then) and if they can fix the bugs on the console i'll consider it. What can I say guys, keep your fingers crossed on the Steam front...
Title: Re: Crysis 2
Post by: Arcmanov on January 26, 2011, 03:30:42 PM
Cap mih boy...as one of the original, staunchest supporters/purchasers of BOTH Crysis,
AND Crysis: Warhead, I fully agree with your sentiments.


I'll still be buying the PC version, but very reluctantly.  Yes, I love Crysis that much.

However, I will $#!t on each and every cent that I will spend for this game and mail it to Mr. Yerli
myself, just to indicate my disdain towards his attitude to the PC platform.  :(

Unfortunately, pirating the game will not solve anything, and it might just make Crytek
stop PC development entirely, and I want my Crysis 3 on PC, thank you very much.
Title: Re: Crysis 2
Post by: Spazosaurus on January 26, 2011, 03:32:46 PM
lmao @ $hit on every cent

Steam undoubtedly have the formula. Consoles just need to follow suit and I think we will be on the road to recovery. Allyuh ever think if ALL games were released on steam? I wonder how hard it is to copy a steam game and run it on another pc. I cant imagine it is very easy. Then again, if that is the ONLY way, then a load of people will then focus on hacking steam, which wont be a good thing.

I'll even go so far to say the death of the used game market is acceptable collateral damage if it means piracy is reduced.

There's probably no way to stop piracy of single player games on any platform, however, multiplayer on all platforms is robust and quite resistant to piracy.

I can only hope that devs focus more on the multiplay aspect (which is where its really at) so that people will HAVE to buy the game to experience it...even on the pc.

Steups @ cell phone gaming supplanting PCs. Outside with that eh W1ntry.

MP is the same from the closed beta, but interestingly enough, it looked better,
and ran MUCH smoother.  Not sure why this open beta looks/runs like such mess.

True, the MP may not seem like much to write home about, but Crysis was never regaled

^^ I think me meant the PC version, the superior version :)

We could have 16 man parties if we wanted to.

I'm not sure how it works on the console though, but even if you are limited to 4 men per squad, cant it work like this?

4 men per squad but you have 8 men wanna play. Just split into 2 squads and still have the two squads work and able to chat and coordinate together?

If you can, it works. Trust me, IT WORKS.

a sci fi cod actually sounds good to me yes.

but from the reviews this sounds like halo and cod had a baby that turned out to be a beautiful dumb blonde. lol

Still as arc says, single player maybe where the action is.

Ok so I played 2 matches, tbh I wasn' too disappointed but then everyone painting it as a deaf, mute mule with a heart condition prolly made my expectation fall through the floor. I actually think they COULD have a winner. I notice there are nice visual effects in some places (glass, water) and others like Capn said look like COD. The PC version (once its not a direct port) should fix that and it COULD look gorgeous all round. Also I think the dynamics of the suit gives it a different feel to both COD and Halo, it stands on its own imho.
It did feel a LITTLE laggy, but then if you're a PC FPS addict it would feel REALLY laggy as its slower, even than COD, which is fine imho as it's gameplay is different. Also I did notice a little bullet lag/graphical lag in movement, but I believe this can be tightened up. All in all if they tighten the gameplay and tweak the motion I think it will fix the bugs that would prevent this from being a A title on any platform.

no
xbl it can work as there is a party chat which will enable the 2 squads to actually use voice and get past the epic fail dice keeps implementing in their games

and yes if u in a clan u can coordinate ur gameplan before the game but as anyone who has ever been in a clan or matches would know things dont go according to plan all the time and u wud need to come up with on d fly tactics and that is hard to do when u cant talk to the other squad

all this is still pendent on IF u get into the same game btw as consoles have matchmaking so u not sure to be put in d same game

which is why bc2 and moh fails IMO
for a game tryin to be tactical and push this "teamwork" talk they speak of it limits teamwork drastically by limiting party size and comms between squads

MAG had the teamwork aspect down perfect with squad leaders being able to talk to other squad leaders , platoon leaders, OIC on a seperate voice channel away from squad chat

Post by: W1nTry on January 27, 2011, 10:31:44 AM
I agree that the lack of a larger party in BC2 was EPIC FAIL, I don't think it was enough of a problem to make the game on a whole fail, that being said I AM on XBL and can communicate with 2 squads at a time. So in a sense one may look at it from the perspective that it's a PS3 PLATFORM FAIL for not YET getting their voice chat act together, and on the other side of the same coin its a game developer fail for trying to promote team activities but the 'teams' can't communicate.

@Blu if you look at it from a overall perspective 2 of the 3 platforms have NO/VERY limited communication issues, that's majority imho and thus can't be epic all together.

well u also have to look at it as the two platforms had ways to work around the fail eh but that shouldnt be used as an excuse for devs to be lazy. because to anyone that spent time on MAG wud see how Zipper had the one of the best if not the best ways to communicate between squads i have seen in a game.

so i woudnt blame the PS3 or sony for that when DICE KNEW what they had to work with.

Took a small touch in the xbox 360 demo today with my son.

Graphics were very decent given the limits of the console.

Can't wait to compare it to the PC version. If its better (as I expect it will be) this will get my money.

Did you even read the post? lol. Your machine is way over the requirements.

Crysis 2 features a new version of CryEngine tuned to run on five-year-old consoles, it's safe to expect game to be more scalable than its predecessor.

Looking @ your specs, you'll be able to run it at high for sure (blackops phenomena aside)

Here they are again:

A Core 2 Duo or Athlon 64 X2 processor clocked at 2GHz
2GB of RAM
A GeForce 8800 GT or Radeon HD 3850 with 512MB of video memory
9GB of hard-drive space
DirectX 9.0c-compatible audio
And, of course, a keyboard and mouse (Xbox 360 controllers will also be supported on Windows).

well is the full game, but it still in beta phase as some things not fully complete. Here's some notes from the release:

Quote
FAQ:
This is the full version, but an early build, leaked to the network. You can run any level, there are rollers, etc. But it is visible that the beta - some of the inscriptions are not final, etc.

I'll install it and report back.

Edit: no install, just double click exe and run the game. I still haven't got the time to actually test it just yet
Title: Re: Crysis 2 Developer Copy leaked! My Advice
Post by: UltimateGamer on February 12, 2011, 01:36:37 AM
Wait on the final version and BUY IT!!!!

So i dig up a bit in this version, there was no individual graphic settings available, but on the highest settings at 1920 x 1080 I got an average of 30 fps, on Advanced setting I got 55fps on average.

At the moment, the sound doesn't work perfectly, as some of the voice overs are missing, but the subtitles are there. The game looks absolutely stunning!!! And TBH I'll just leave this on my hd and not touch it until the final version is released!

On another note:

tell me something if my vid card minimum requirement is 400w and an HD 5670 also has a 400w minimum requirement shouldn't it work fine with my computer or shud i still get a new power supply since it is a better card

You'll need a new psu! When it comes the video cards the amperage is more important than the watt rating(I learned that the hard way). And if you intend to push a proper video card you'll need a proper psu. Most PSU's only perform at around 85% efficiency (well generic ones anyway).

Title: Re: Crysis 2
Post by: Redfish on February 12, 2011, 02:30:47 AM
Yep you really don't wanna fool around with the amperage.

As Philosophical45 can tell you, it almost made him think something was wrong with his pc when he bought his GTX 260 but when we did some combined research we realized his 650watt OCZ psu only had something around 18-20amps on each 12v rail making it useless in powering his new GPU hence his computer was shutting off or restarting (can't remember exactly) whenever he tried to run a game.

Do some research on a good PSU and invest in one, you can't go wrong for future plans. Plugging power hungry parts to a sheety PSU is begging for trouble.

there are mostly sound issues with guns, and some occassional messed up textures, but fps seems decent and overall it looks and plays great. all these im betting would be fixed when it comes out officially.

yuh must call names....name and shame.

Who say they buying and come up short dey?

Like arc said though....this particular game is a campaign trail we blazing. Not buying it for the online multiplayer. That's never been their strong point.

While it may be decent online, from my experience with the demo, it's still no match for blackops/battlefield and won't replace them in the long run (or even the short run for that matter)

moral of the story....you don't need group consensus to go "original recipe" on this one.

Besides, if it ain't worth buying authentic....is it worth playing at all? Just pass instead of "testing". lol

Connected quite good here.  Maybe it was because of the time.

The visuals are a real treat, but on 'Hardcore' spec, it really kicks your rig's ass
and then has it for lunch.  The frame-rate regularly dipped below 40 fps when
the action on-screen got hectic.  The Hardcore setting is not recommended for
single cards, unless you're running a HD6970 or GTX580.


MP is fast and furious.  Of course I died many times like a total n00b.  :lol:
You die very quickly in this game, and the Assault class seems to have
the best/most accurate rifle thus far.  I keep getting killed from some
amazing distances with the thing.

Oh well, not buying it for the MP anyway.

Man I am really enjoying this demo here and most likely will enjoy the mp Crysis 2 experience, it made me remember the good old days of competitive COD4 play, as the game is really centered around squad play.  That doesnt meant that you wont see people camping in corners by themselves but that is a given in any FPShooter.

My greatest worry when I saw the armor abilities in this game is people camping with cloak but that is totally negated with the NanoVision as I was able to pick off people that tried to run up on me with cloak enabled. 

Oh and also runnin up on a man holding him by his head then bussing he throat or spinning his head 180 degs is just winnnnn in my opinion.

Had a good but brisk run in the PC demo.

The game defaulted to 1024x768 and Hard Core graphic settings.

(as though they thought my PC was a lowly Xbox 360)

Quickly changed that to 1920x1200

Gorgeous visuals but suspect frame rate. lol

Still very playable. Started pwning some noobs in a 6v6. Nano Armor ftw.

The session ended on a bad note though. Hard crash immc. PC locked up like buju. Loss of display signal and no response from the keyboard.

Had to reboot.

Can't tell you when last that happened.

At least one other guy had the experience and some say disabling vsync should rid you of the bug.

Played the new Demo on the XBOX 360 last night. Lag was improved from the previous version and the hit detection issue I had before seemed to be ironed out with this new demo. Runs smooth and fast for a console version.

Everyone should try the demo.

I keep getting killed from some
amazing distances with the thing.

dey prob have de aim enhance module on it reduces ur recoil when firing while aiming down sight

OK, that explains a lot, because when I watch the killcams I see almost NO recoil
when they were aiming down sight, and I was 'wtf...my gun can't do that'.

I immediately thought: 'oh lawd, they hack it already?'


Is that ability limited to the Assault class only?
Title: Re: Crysis 2
Post by: blood-lust on March 02, 2011, 12:16:13 PM
no it's a power module, aim enhance lvl 1 reduces recoil, lvl 2 reduces shake from explosion, lvl 3 allows u to move faster, (all while aiming down sight)

as if de game didn't already host more perks (modules) than any cod series but it have 2 upgrades for each, daz 3 modules plus 6 upgrades u go end up running around with

Men seriously gettin low fps in the demo... wow.  I was actually shocked that it was running as good as it does on my pc, which as we all know is not "da shit."  I played both maps and had smooth gameplay in both at max capacity.

 One thing I will say is dat Nanovision is your friend I normally run with it on most of the time, and when I am ambushed I put on the extra armor thing, works well for me.  The Nanovision is on the scroll wheel so I can just scroll down to enable it.

Another thing when you start sprinting and then crouch you do a slide, I only remembered earlier that you could do it in this game, totally changes things as it awesome to slide to cover when being shot at.

The demo is probably not optimised properly for our multi-GPU setups, and it's running a 32-bit
executable.  The 64-bit executable will wtfpwn on 64-bit Windows.

I have no doubt the final game will be proper on all fronts, and bet yo last shilling that
ATI/nVidia will have driver updates, and/or multi-GPU profiles ready and waiting.

Just did a lil run there for a couple mins to see how it is, man I am truly impressed. Runs alot smoother than I thought it would on my card. I still gonna upgrade come the end of this month though.

Only thing I have beams with is not having that game's sound work on my damn G35 headset, STEUPS!! hope they fix that or else it getting written off the wishlist lol.

The different style of gameplay is welcomed but time will tell if I pull the trigger on this one. Seriously won't have that much time to game as of now so choosing what I buy very carefully this rounds.

A big title like Crysis 2 having such issues with mainstream graphics cards?

Is not like you running some exotic russian engineer 3d solution.

This is standard hard core gamer kit we talking about here. You would think that being their core market, they would have ironed out any issues on those configurations.

hmmm

Well, as you know these things always have teething issues. Just look at BlOps. Thing was a nightmare for real ppl and there was NO beta.

At least EA and them have the decency to give us one and for that I give them nuff respect. Issues like this at this stage, to me, is more than acceptable, AS LONG AS they no longer exist once the game goes gold.

ok, I let loose the secret weapon in Crysis mc yesterday and it worked BEAUTIFULLY.

Intel X25M SSD ihmc.

Game runs flawlessly at 1920x1200 on Gamer Graphics Setting

Guess, I won't be upgrading cpu/gpu after all. (until Battlefield 3 arrives that is)

Nano armor is still the healing but I find real men killing me using some Predator vision thing. Like a mc wall hack lol.

What level do you get that?

More importantly, where the usual player roster?

Killing random noobs on the innernet gets old fast.

Post by: TriniXaeno on March 06, 2011, 01:19:17 PM
Well that was a good session last night.

War was brisk and brutal.

Seems like Virtue calling on the advanced blood line limit from his asian genes to wtfpwn in this game.

Man was a real menace.

Berserk actually didn't look too shabby either. Sneaky inviso melee-in bastard.

Nano vision dealt with that though.

Still a very strong showing despite initial setup issues. Seems we could not get the friend list to behave itself and had to find a server to join in manually.

They NEED to fix that for the final version. I hope enough of stink is being made about that on their forums.

That aside, the game ran beautifully and if this is any indication, should be a strong contender for our midnight multiplayer hours.

It will find no easy competition in Battlefield Bad Company 2 though. Forgot how great that game was yes. Seems they've ironed out all the bugs too. Finer with age like wine.

the ping in this game is pretty good, so I could play it fairly well most times. bandwidth is my main frustration in most Fps games.

The PC will ultimately have the better graphics which is what Crysis is known for... however the useability of XBL is undeniable... in my case I think it will come down to which platform has more of my friends playing it. If the XBL crew skip it, i'll go PC.

Ars review (http://arstechnica.com/gaming/news/2011/03/the-fall-of-new-york-ars-reviews-crysis-2.ars)


Excerpt:
Quote
We don't get to die

The game has some surprises for you, including how you become the caretaker of the nano-suit, and what that means in the long haul. I've never seen a game take so much joy in putting its hero through so much crap. You get thrown, slammed, broken, and used by everyone you meet. I kept waiting for the protagonist to tell one of the other characters to go to hell when asked to fight. No one seems to give a damn about you as an individual, they simply pick you up, dust you off, and then throw you into the next bloodbath. Imagine being Master Chief, without downtime or any chance to get used to your armor.

Pay attention to what happens to the main character throughout the game. In many ways this isn't his fight, and as you play, you're placed in terrible circumstances by powerful men, and you have very little say in any of it. You're the perfect soldier, packaged in technology, with no voice or agency. Violence is the only means of expressing yourself. "We don't get to die," someone tells you in the course of the game, and it sounds almost mournful. The final words of the game may seem like a non-sequitur at first—and they certainly set up the inevitable sequel—but once you place them within the context of the rest of the story it's almost nihilistic.

While Crysis 2 may seem like just another big-budget shooter at first, the game plays with a number of images and themes that are surprisingly affecting. It's a haunting game, filled with the dead and the dying, and placing the action in such a much-loved American city only to destroy it in scene after scene is a bold choice. After I finished the single-player campaign I continued to think about how the game played out, and that's rare in a genre that seems to be stuck on the "isn't America tops, what with all our guns?" message.

Through the course of the game you're broken, shot, cut, and attacked from all angles. Allegiances change like the weather. What stays constant is that no matter what horrible things happen to you, you'll keep fighting as long you're able. During one scene you have to hit a button to trigger the suit's defibrillator, putting you back into harm's way. I was tempted to simply not hit the button, and allow myself to die on the battlefield. The only thing I wanted for myself was peace.

Verdict: Buy

I am feeling the NEED to get this... only problem is... with what funds O_o...

You really can't blame EA for something like that, its just business for them. Besides, who needs a million and one graphic settings. My good ole Quad Q6600 processor and GTX285 ran the demo @ 1680x1050, max details, 8X AA, 8X AF and i never saw less than 43fps. The details were great so i have no reason to complain.

Shiv, I like the simplified graphics options but there is absolutely no reason not to include an "Advanced" tab....(other than to stick it to the PC population of course)

Turn the other cheek.....and it ain't the one on your face I'm talking about. lol

Sadly, I'm not surprised at the outcome.  Those of us who pirated Crysis, and Crysis: Warhead
are truly reaping what was sown then.  I make no bones about saying that.

So here we are again...console port iwmc.  :shakehead:

As a game dev, if you want guaranteed sales, you have to focus very heavily on your multiplayer component. Single player HAS GOT to be considered just the icing on the cake in these times. No one is saying don't deliver a hell of a campaign but you have to put 10x the amount of effort into ur MP because at the end of the day, MP has infinitely more value.

So when I hear pple like Cevat  or whatever his name is blaming piracy for bringing these console ports, I have to call major bull$hit. Focus on your damn MP, make it the BEST $hit out there and make pirates WANT...NEED to buy it because u cant bring ur pirate copy online to play. The pirates will now be so intrigued with all the epic things they have been hearing that they will go and wash cars for 2 weekends to buy it.

You can't half ass it and expect people NOT to buy it and use piracy as an excuse for poor sales. What the hell kind of thinking is that?? I for one am not inclined to support this developer with my money because of their backward approach. I'd MUCH rather skip this title and put my money behind a title whose developers actually took the extra effort to make their game lust worthy.

Awesome OUT

First things first....a game developer should not have to focus on epic multiplayer to deserve sales.

An awesome single player experience should be enough to warrant a purchase (Think the original Prince of Persia and even its remake, the Sands of Time)

Developers however have been completely spurned by PC gamers pirating their single players game unabashed.

As a result, the focus on multiplayer, specifically internet multiplayer came about as a means to circumvent the piracy problem.

Imagine, all these great multiplayer games...with no lan support. lol. If it was about offering the penultimate multiplayer experience and not about fighting piracy....then LAN support would be included.

I totally disagree. I am saying that times have changed and good single player alone is not enough, ESPECIALLY when they calling $60us a pop...for maybe 4 to 6 hours of entertainment? Come on.

I am also saying that having a killer mp component (which is essentially unhackable) will encourage (force) people to buy the games to access the awesomeness that is the MP experience.

So more value for money on the consumer side, more profit because of higher quality on the dev/publisher side. What's not to like?

I do have 1 questions though, I saw in a review that crysis 2 is the BEST looking game on a console bar none... anyone can substantiate this? Cause i'll give jack his jacket and Killzone 2 was the best looking FPS i've ever seen.... on a console XD Anyone can confirm crysis taking the throne?

@ Awesome, of course the developers will quarrel about the people stealing their game, even if those persons may not have bought it even if it was uncrackable. Think about it, if you knew that the people living in the area of the company that you work for were stealing internet during the night (when u not using it at the company), on principle it would still be a headache to you. Knowing that at some point it could become bad for you if you let it slide without doing something about it.

I agree that making a better game with better multiplayer etc. would grab these people, but as the developers see it, they are too busy developing the game they were approved to develop. It takes alot more than saying, i'm gonna make a multiplayer experience so awesome (no pun intended) that every gamer is going to buy it.

I'm sorry, but I have to take the developer's side on this, they've worked hard on the product, and it shows (on PC and xbox at least :P )
Title: Re: Crysis 2
Post by: TriniXaeno on March 24, 2011, 10:21:18 PM
Correct. Its not like they creating games using 2d sprites anymore.

Nowadays its costing just as much to make a decent PC game as it would a blockbuster movie. Right now we pay what? $60.00 for 90 minutes at movietowne?

I do agree, especially when it comes to FPS games....that a single player story often isn't enough to hold my attention...even for the meager 6 - 8 hours that they usually last.

Multiplayer has always been my thing.

That said...I can't assume the entire planet thinks the same. Some people will buy this game JUST for the single player.

From personal experience with the demo, the multiplayer was pretty decent.

Gets my vote.

Console port or not. (Like w1ntry and arc said....we knew this was coming...and we all know why, horse properly well beaten to death)

Hard O/C, I saw about six GATTers with the game on steam already....I just bought it, so make that 7. If you buy it before the 26th, you get the limited edition free apparently.

Post by: Berzerk on March 24, 2011, 10:21:43 PM
work hard yea on the 360 version...

we get a lazy arse port...

and this whole debate about single player vs multiplayer games.


Single player, games are not no 6 hour affair. dedicated single player games like the mass effects, dragon ages, original assassins creeds, fallouts, Arkham Asylums, Alan Wakes, offer 12-60 hours of gameplay and some offer multiple playthroughs.
and these are goty titles that sell phenomenally well, so try yuh best eh.

heck some developers are primarily focused on delivering single player games only. and they do exceptional jobs. and honestly the resources to be placed on slapping on a multi for the sake of having one just makes no sense imo. those resources are placed in the game and the results speak for themselves,.

lol @ lazy arse port.

berserk, lazy is the wrong word....PC gamers got an intentional and deserved "slight".

I totally agree with you on the single player perspective. To be fair, I think Awesome means particularly in respect to the FPS genre. In which case, the 6 - 8 hour campaign is pretty much status quo. Even Halo Reach could be completed in that time.

aite fair enough.

but check this. A partner who bought crysis 2 telling me to avoid buying it or to wait for bargain bin.

here is a list of the complaints he made so far.

Quote
no quicksave, they removed first person driving, no hand animations, no prone, no advanced graphics options, they game ask me to adjust my tv settings, static and less interacting with environments, my melee key literally stopped working, there are no secondary key options for the keyboard, also none of my sweet pc hardware peripherals is natively supported by this game.


thats just a few. and steam forums have people cussing level about the multiplayer issues.

Post by: Arcmanov on March 25, 2011, 02:39:12 AM
I'm inclined to agree (in principle) with Cap.

After a few hours with the game (sp), I'm sorry to report that there
are major issues with multi-GPU setups with the game.  Fortunately,
theres a workaround, which requires the use of a 3rd-party app (for
AMD users).

Found the workaround here (http://www.mycrysis.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=11216).
Not sure what Nvidia users need to do.


Believe me when I say that if you have a multi-GPU setup, do not buy this game until Crytek
fixes it with an official patch.

It is utterly preposterous that Crytek's QA testing could have missed such a major flaw with the game.
This game is one of the very reasons some enthusiasts like myself even bother to use a multi-GPU setup.

I am truly disappointed thus far.

The gameplay itself, while a lot more linear than previous Crysis games, is rock solid, and tightly focused.
Thank god for that workaround, so I can actually play the thing, but why should I have to resort to that
on DAY ONE!!?

Ridiculous.


Notwithstanding the issues though, I've still managed to get a respectable 50-60 fps with
all 'settings' on max, courtesy of that tool that Berzerk linked from the Steam forums.

Still working my way through RE5 coop, ME2.

Latest games beaten was : Lara Croft Tomb Raider, Magicka (both excelent coop games).

An extended tech demo and benchmark tool that ran on maybe 2% of the world population of pc's is what the original Crysis was.

I am pretty sure this is NOT what "pc gamers wanted". I remember buying Crysis and COD4 at the same time. Crysis was much hyped and was supposed to be the main course with cod4 being the desert. Things turned out quite the opposite because I ended up spending a hell of a lot more time on cod.

Crysis was very successful in showing the gaming industry how graphics can and should be done but simultaneously shot itself in the foot by poor HORRIBLE optimization and abysmal multiplayer. Had I known what I know now, I would never have bought it.

I'm not saying Crysis was crap but it had a few crippling properties that hindered its uptake severely.

Moral of the story, make a good game, it will sell more. Even if it doesnt meet your sales expectations you would have done 2 things.

1) Have a game that people will continue to buy long after release because quality does not depreciate with age.

2) Cast your company in a good light


Obviously this is a concept that escapes a lot of these geniuses.

yuh know I dont want to start back the original piracy arguement , but meh tongue biting me.


anyone remember the original crysis? the coding for it>? how no pc could run it? is that heavy duty work by the devs? or a way to push the enthusiasts market and demand for better more powerful video cards to see who could run it? crysis 1 was a tech demo to sell pc parts and still no one could properly run it.
hard work meh tail.
look at metro 2033 or bad company 2, both look amazing play well and arent weak tail console ports.

the original Crysis was not properly coded. calling this the penultimate pc game is like calling space balls the best sci fi movie of all time.


and at the end of the day there is no real excuse to bring out weak lazy console ports. better not bring out anything at all. not to mention Crytek actually promised a polished experience for Crysis 2 on the PC.

Title: Re: Crysis 2
Post by: TriniXaeno on March 25, 2011, 10:45:50 AM
Berserk, I think you misunderstood..most of the gripes about Crysis 2 are precisely in contrast to what Crysis 1 represented on the PC.

It was the penultimate not in terms of multiplayer prowess or elegant code....it was heralded for its graphical splendor and setting the bar for the PC platform by which all other games would be judged.

A game so demanding and cutting edge that only the best and most powerful PCs could render it playable.

The "killer app" for your multigpu rigs and advanced 3d processors. You would spend days tweaking your rig and changing in game settings to squeeze the best performance out of it. A game within the game almost. A hallmark of the PC platform.

Fast forward to Crysis 2 and you have a title that can run just fine on yesteryears hardware, sporting tried and true dx9 and nary a graphic setting to toggle in sight.

Pop in your disk and play. Tweak shmeak.

No envelope pushing here. A console native game. Spit in the face of the pc aficionado. (pitch forks and torches sold here)

Imagine, as arcman said....multigpu setups need a patch. Hard lol.

oh and before I forget...."Click Start to Begin"

roflcopter

and before the "PC Pirates souring the scene" talk turns people away from the game unnecesarily.

Here are the reviews:

Original Crysis PC Exclusive (90%)

Crysis 1 was ah pack of shit, sorry wyatt.

Cryteck wanted it to come across as d holy grail for graphics processing on d pc, d ultimate looking game. but sadly it never happened so.

Why? Because dey code d game like hagbar, and nothign coudl run it at those settings.
D settings d game COULD be run at, failed graphics wise, to other games dat runing 60fps+

So truth be told, PLAYABLE games looked alot better, dan crysis on low. and dats juss shamefull.

I have ah i7 4.4GHz, 5970 OC liquid cooled. and only dat machien coudl run crysis on enthusit settings, and dies not even max res, dies 1920*1080, 2560*1600 is too much for it.

I never build ah machine to play crysis, becuase said machines didnt exist until last year or so, at which time d game so old who d hell cares.

I never considered crysis in d light u paint, i alwasy thought of that game as 1 big programing failure. As berzerk mentioned, there are other games that look just as good, requiring FAR LESS horsepower.

That's your opinion but the industry as a whole looked up to crysis as the benchmark for high performance machines.

Either way, now that legacy is firmly a thing of the past.

You surely do not need to upgrade to play Crysis 2.

I think the real benchmark for the exceptional FPS was made by Valve. Half Life 2, the  expansions, the multiplayer that grew out of it (still heavily played 5 years later)

that is an example of what awesome described. hardly pirated, great performance all round. very good graphical quality and all round dam good game.


and best version was still on pc. and guess what half life 3 will be best on PC as well. think not? look at the upcoming portal 2.

i agree with awesome
having an epic sp experience alone doh cut it in these times
i for one since i move from ps2 pirate days to legit days on ps3 look to get the most out of my money and for a sp game when i beat it, das it it done i doh really go back to beaten games as im not one of those achievement/trophy hunters.

The thing that keeps me coming back to a game is a good solid mp component
take games like Uncharted, KZ etc. i does jump straight into mp and sp does be for when nobody on playin or net down or i jus bored lol

these days games need to have replay value to earn sales
Games like LBP sell themselves with infinite possibilities and now even infamous which is a sp game copyin that LBP mold and having u be able to create your own missions and share them online

for a game like Crysis 2 if the mp aint up to par then the game is a borrow/rent/buy when d price drop significantly.

Its obvious this issue gonna be raised each and every time a flag ship title reams PC gamers a new one.

more lol @ the Crysis 2 thread turning into a Valve/Steam promo.

Its funny how times changes things. Gamers who have been around long enough will know that Steam was first and foremost an ANTI-PIRACY tool by Valve to prevent piracy of HL2 and CounterStrike. (The original half life and counterstrike had been pirated to kingdom come, pre CS1.6 and source era). Most of the original CS playing masses were doing so illegally. Steam is basically Valves version of Microsoft's online product activation system.

Kinda hard for every developer to implement and manage this but more and more of them are forced to do exactly that in the war against TriniTrialing. (Warone must be proud....lol)

The moral here is how time changes the story.

A few years ago, steam was a scourge. It was the second coming of satan, (with microsoft's product activation being the first). Valve was the enemy, trying to protect their baby, HL2 from pirates.

Steam meant once you bought a game, the value immediately was reduced to zero dollars. No resale value. More than that, you had to be online. No internet, no game. Lord forbid if Valve went bankrupt....there goes the access to your entire library.

Fast forward today....gamers are lapping it up like milk. Steam and Valve are heroes. Yet all the shortcomings are still there. Nothing has changed really.

So let me tell the story of the future.

Fast forward five years. Gamers will have long forgotten advanced settings in PC games, the need for complex multigpu setups, proper beta testing on this platform and grown fully accustomed to being given "hand me downs" from the console scene where the PS4, Xbox 720 and Wii 2 are running the FPS route.

Threads like this making a big quarrel about it will no longer exist.

I have too much games on pc as is dat i eh even touch yet, and ah quadrum of games being released this year still That are totally epic! I honestly doh have time to play all dem games out there. Both PC, Wii, and Xbox/PS3 lineups. and if i hada choose,
PC is and will always be my platform of choice :), and pc part prices keep dropping, price per performance is crazy.

Anyway, Crytek do shit and deserve beating with d same pull pessel as d Black Ops team.

This.

Generally...there are enough of the gaming masses who think this way to justify the future of games going in this direction.

The elitist minority will find their voice soon irrelevant in the wake of a buying majority who will spring for a game once its fun and don't know nor care about multigpu.

They just want to play...and have fun.

Bad for elitist...yes...but good for the gaming industry as a whole.

I think its fair to say that GATT's genesis was around extremely tech savvy individuals. Maybe its time we start to adapt. Dilute our tech with a little more fun sauce.

lol messiaah, watch how men get quiet on the history of Valve/Steam. I know you around the scene long enough to know how true those statements were. It have no counter argument for that one.

and as far as bringing up blizzard....this volley of arguments are around the FPS genre in particular....the only recent offering Blizzard has in that arena is BlackOps by way of their parent, Activision Blizzard. (and we all know how that went, lol)

Because of Mortal Kombat, i seriously considering ah ps3, right now i checking out games / prices etc etc. And d more i reserach, d more i seeing d same titles being released on Xbox/PS3/PC. And once it avail on pc, i go choose dat, instead of d console counterpath.

As far as elitist goes, i'm not that, but i'm definitely an enthusiast (my pc specs should speak for itself). But as far as I see it, there's not much I can do to change the minds of the business heads that run the actual production of the game. I used to have a dual GPU rig, and I stopped going that route since I realised that dual-GPU might never get the proper treatment it deserves by the majority of titles.

That being said, I've just evolved with the times, if that's the direction the industry is going in, so be it, i'll play... but i'm always happy for a game that could utilize the full resources of my rig. But the other end of that spectrum is that some ppl go with a particular card for a particular set of features etc. and in the end they don't even get games to support it, that's something that should be considered before one invests in a piece of hardware. I for example have an extra GTS250 for the purpose of Physx, but because every new game does not support it, you don't hear me ranting, it's because i've accepted that I can find value in the games that do support it, and the games that don't... well that was my understanding before buying the extra card.

What i'm trying to say is that, if Crysis 2 wasn't your idea of a good game, you were given a demo to see if it is what you wanted, don't buy it without trying it and then complain. And I who have bought it doh want to hear bout your gripes, cus i bought it because the demo showed something I would enjoy.
Title: Re: Crysis 2
Post by: Arcmanov on March 26, 2011, 09:09:17 PM
Well Doomtack, I have every right to complain because I'm having issues with the full game that weren't present in the demo.

...and Crytek seemingly forgot to mention that their brand new DX9 game was released with limited multi-GPU support.  Had I known this beforehand, I would have kept my 60 US, and bought Killzone 3 instead.  At least I'm pretty sure there would have been no 'surprises'.

This game has LOTS of issues, and the people who actually paid for it should be complaining the loudest.

Crytek have PLENTY work to do still, because it looks like this one aint quite done yet.


Right now I feel like if I could get back my money.

I agree with Doom and Arcman 100%.

1) Doom is right, there was a demo and you should have only bought the game if you liked the demo. If you didn't buy it, or worse yet...didn't play the demo...your contribution to this thread is dubious at best, lol

2) Arcman is right. He bought a game based on the demo (which I thoroughly enjoyed myself) and ended up discovering new and fantastic issues in the full game that weren't evident in the demo.

Some element of fail is present here. No denying.

Like Arc, I've bought the full game based on the demo's performance.

Unlike Arc, so far, Crysis 2 has worked beautifully and looks better than every other game I've played on this humble rig today. Note, no multigpu setup here. Pure single gpu goodness ftw.

There is still a fly in the ointment for me though. Cannot get my "limited edition" code to redeem online. Seeing tons of people bitchin' about same all over the internet. I've tried it in chrome, firefox and internet explorer. Salt immc.

bad crytek, bad.

That aside, the single player campaign is running smooth as butter. Hopefully by time I complete it and get to the multiplayer they would have fixed that redemption snafu.

Title: Re: Crysis 2
Post by: Doomtack on March 26, 2011, 11:49:30 PM
So far i've had no issues with the game, even the Limited Edition stuff I got through with no issue. (wait... I lie, My HUD disappeared one piece at a time in MP last night... bug?)

I agree that it is saddening that in 2011 we still have games being launched with lots of issues (probably even more than back then), and that is a legit reason to be angry. And it's quite possibly as a result of developers getting lazy since they only have to focus on one set of hardware when developing for consoles. Guess this is the natural order of things :(

I'm still wading through the single player campaign but I'd rate it a buy as well (PC version)

The graphics and gameplay definitely live up to the hype. It's not as phenomenal as Half Life but feels very similar in execution and plot mechanics. Some deja vu moments in there for valve veterans.

Crysis 2 is truly the best looking Console game to date. There I said it. I even asked Agokillya to compare with Killzone 3 as he has been playing alot of that recently, and he said that Crysis 2 looks better than Killzone 3...I am enjoying this game, single player and multiplayer. I've been telling people that its the lovechild of COD, Halo and Battlefield..If you've played any or all of those games, you will know what I'm talking about. I can now play this game for many months to come until Gears of War 3 and Uncharted 3. Good job Crytek! :D

Best looking console game?? I thought the debate was just best looking FPS console game.

The closest technical comparision I could find is below

I find it hard to beleive that a game that is sub HD can look better than Uncharted 2 (best looking console game imo), Gears of War 2 or God of War 3.

My cousin may buy it, will pass by him and check it on his 360

It IS the best on 360 (Agokilla who has both PS3 and Xbox said overall, but like all things its a personal opinion, milleage will vary). It IS better looking that Gears of War 2 (which prior to this was the best looking xbox game, and that was hella good looking). I think what ppl will debate is things like pixellation or grainy appearance in Crysis 2 but there is a reason. What Crytek effectively did was balance (in a truly beautiful way) lighting effects, fluid effects, HDR, bloom and ALL the effects you can think of into this game. Obviously to achieve this you may have to dial other features (FSAA) down a bit to not fry your system or drop below 30FPS. Crysis 2 TRULY tithers on the BRINK of the Xbox 360 hardware. The game literally makes teh 360 SCREAM! I have seen in VERY few instances less than 30FSP so I KNOW it's operating at the very limit. You will have to see it youself to really appreciate it, AND you need to see the VARIOUS layouts and levels rather than just watch a 15 mins and say bleh. It goes from rooftops, to subways, to street levels to nothing short of ALIEN environments. Pay attention to sniping whilst in cloak... EPIC WIN on the visuals!

The graphics and gameplay definitely live up to the hype. It's not as phenomenal as Half Life but feels very similar in execution and plot mechanics. Some deja vu moments in there for valve veterans.
YES YES YES! I think the gunships and walkers are a DIRECT copy (with visual updates) to those in HL2, ALSO THE SOUND!!! those damn things and their firing SOUND EXACTLY like the gunship in HL2! imitation is the sincerest form of flattery idmc!

Steam sale ftw?

When Crytek  DEFINITIVELY fixes this, and then properly implements DX11, with an advanced
graphics menu...THEN it -might- be worth 60 US.

Right now, it worth about 30 US, but you can't buy it for that.  :)

I like your point about sniping. Those who've played fps games with me in the past will know I go assault 99 percent of the time.

Zero patience for sniping. My battlefield sniper class is played like assault with the vss.

So its a huge break from the norm that I spend most of my time in crysis 2 sniping. Lol

The reason, the game is so gorgeous that I don't want to just run past all the scenery and miss the graphics.

Having all games in one place, i know my steam is always runing, so i know my games always up to date. And i have steam instal up on all my machines at any time jus click go.

Buying games on steam is easier

Steam achievement, (d magicka achievements in coop was awesome, playing coop whiles trying to outdo yuh partner to get d various achievements, added somethign extra to d gameplay i doh usually get. also doh cater bout achievements in general, but in coop it add ah level of competitiveness dat add to d experience.)

Steam client is more stable and less buggy dan EADM.

I can export my steam games as an installer. So if i want to instal d same game on 5 machines, on 5 differnet ppl steam account, everybody could jus double click 1 file, from 1 shared location, and d game on everybody steam. Without each person having to re-download d game individually.

Copying games from 1 person steam folder to d next acomplishes d same thing, but steam go jus have to verify d files in dat case.

Then there is d cosmetic side of things, steam is my official game launcher now, even for non-steam games. And certain EADM games cant be added to steam, unless it launching from EADM it does give problems. (fifa is one, i even forget i have fifa, becuase it in EADM).

All of the above and anything else i forget, is why i want all my games on steam.

Valve pwon d competition, and juss gettin better, i smell a monopoly afoot!

This love child of COD, BF & Halo just has everything I want in a FPS atm (until BF3 arrives at least). If this game looks THIS good on the console, I can imagine what it COULD look like on a PC with DX11... it will blow EVERYTHING else away (once done right). I think the Crytek 3 engine is an impressive piece ah code rivalling ALL.

But hey that's just my personal opinion. As for the PC men who complaining to no end:

The fixes working, so I not complaining no more.  That's what I love about PC gaming.
Something not working as it should, it gets tweaked and modded the f@#k up!!!  :laughing7:



Would you believe I actually started back playing Crysis.

Found a 'fix' of sorts (http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=256256) that allows Parallax Occlusion Mapping
to be used simultaneously with Anisotropic Filtering in the game engine.

I know I may have lost some of you at 'parallax', but basically
it makes the game look significantly better.  TRUST me.  :)

Download link at the bottom of the first post.

Just drop the file into the 'Game' folder within the Crysis install folder (Bin32 or Bin64).


When the game loads it'll look a little weird, but don't panic.  All the textures will quickly load
in before your eyes.

I can now truly run Crysis with aplomb, with 2 x AA and all settings on 'Very High'. 55 - 60 fps,
but sometimes it drops to 40 fps, and even 35 when the action on-screen gets really hot.
Turning off motion blur with this mod helps a lot.

the pc men not complaining...arcman complaining.

that is one, singular....uno.

The game runs like a dream for everyone else...and an order of magnitude more graphically splendiferious than its console counterpart.

It's not even close. Not by a long shot.

i dont think u get the point,

you buy a ps3 and you settle for whatever graphics you get cuz there is no improvment to the system itself (i have a ps3 btw)

but some pc men will want to run the game @ its highest, even doh it will still look better than a console at its lowest.

in other words wyatt ye old system will run the game much better than the ps3... get it now?

Phen and allyuh missing my point, of late once a game has a MP component, THAT is the selling point to me. I bought it on the console NOT because I DON'T have a rig that can run it, my rig would do well enough (not that you've ever checked my specs). I bought it for the console because of the COMMUNITY I game with. I eh hating on this game AT ALL (i've been PREACHING IT), PC or Xbox or PS3. I saying ALLYUH hating on the console talking bout graphics etc, but hoss I ranked 90+ thousandth! in MP. What's the size of the PC community for Crysis? *crickets chirping*

@ Messi: Damn right I would take it for a spin, but my reference is made in longevity. Yuh cyah drive a bugatti to work everyday, just not practical. The MP for me was KEY. My gaming comm is XBL, simply put I bought Crysis not for it's stellar graphics, but for its REPLAY VALUE in the MP with my crew (the eye candy was a plus). I NOT hating on the PC, if the GATT community was guaranteed to sweat this steady for the next 6 months, BET UR VERON i'd have bought it on PC, but that's NOT the case.

Lastly I eh know if allyuh realize but allyuh hating on the console and i've been doing nothing but rating this game! I promoting it, if allyuh really like the game allyuh would promote it on whatever platform. Like Wyatt say, I hope it sell 10 million copy and a Crysis 3 comes, cause all I hearing is how I want to see it at its best, blah blah blah, but dat doh sell copies, replay and MP does. I think its fair to say seeing as this is a CONSOLE PORT, that I not alone in this thinking :p

I agrree with d MP comment totaly. I find it hard to spend money behind SP only games these days. Is all about COOP for me. if it doh have COOP or some kinda MP component, i find it hard to shell out for it. But u was coming across like pc men wasting they time, cuase u can get it on xbox. U was promoting crysis xbox, not crysis in general.

So naturally us pc men had to show, crysis on d xbox graphics wise not ready for pc :)
But like wyatt said, if u buy it to swet wiht ur MP peeps on xbox, dies cool.

D men i does swet with, waiting for price to drop before we start freaking it, i not interested in weather 10 billion ppl play it on xbox. Once them fellers on mumble ready to swet it, dies all d swet i need. Said that many times before lol.

And no yuh not going to drive yuh veron to work, lol, but high end PCs is not juss for gaming eh. Most ppl running rigs like that, using it for much more. Superlific Graphics is juss ah bonus :). And if u minus d GPU from my rig, ill be running d exact same rig, for d purposes of I.T., entertainment, etc.

And what i find mind boggling is, a CONSOLE PORT!, is, and i quote "serveral orders of magnitude better looking" thand console game it ported from? that alone shows d superiority of the pc platform when it comes to graphics :)

But if 12 year old xbox live boys is your thing, by all means (sorry i had to chooke ah lil something, lollololol, coudlnt resist doh take it too hard lolol)

lol, but W1ntry I am extremely impressed at your ability to take a jibe in good jest.

There is one fly in your ointment. Crysis is not known for its multiplayer. It is known for its single player campaign and graphics.

So logic would dictate that you buy the game for the platform where you can get the best single player campaign experience and graphics.

That is without a doubt....the PC.

Lets face it, if the multiplayer fizzles on the console scene after a few months as it did for Battlefield Bad Company 2, you'll be left with an inferior product on your hands for the same $60.00.

If this was a call of duty game....your argument would be impenetrable....but this is Crysis.

omission of advanced graphics settings options and "press start to begin" snafu aside, the following statement remains true:

PC > Console

This is why I dont read destructiod articles. Most of those 'writers' are nothing but trolls, but instead of being under a bridge with all the other trolls, they are standing on top of a hill where everyone can see and hear them (unfortunately). Didnt even bother to take into consideration digital distribution sales (which constitutes eadm and other sales). Even if with those figures included pc version still lags behind, at least you would have painted an ACCURATE picture. Instead, being the trolls that they are, continue to simply flap their gums. Getouttahere.

@ Crysis 1, I reiterate. If they dont even bother to optimise the damn code so that more than TWO percent of the pc population can play it, WTH do they expect? Everyone to go out and spend $1k on their pc to play one mediocre game?

That said, I dont support the piracy, but I do support boycotting pc games that have had little to no extra effort applied to them.
Title: Re: Crysis 2
Post by: Czar on March 30, 2011, 12:21:51 PM
Troll or not, d man right:
Quote
The 360 accounts for 57% of Crysis 2's sales, with the PS3 taking 29% and the PC raking in a miserable 14%. Maybe they were too busy torrenting it or something.
 
This news is notable for the fact that Crysis was always a major PC title and being able to run it was the hallmark of a powerful gaming computer. PC fans have been upset at the console inclusion, blaming it for "dumbing down" the game and not looking pretty enough without manual tweaking.
 
I wouldn't expect EA to care much now, though, since the PC is apparently not where the money is. Can't fault people for wanting their games to actually sell, y'know?
All he do is take d sales figures from the Videogamer article (http://www.videogamer.com/news/crysis_2_is_eas_biggest_launch_of_the_year_so_far.html) and slap on his take on it.

awesome you read the same article??

I'm a little confused by your post.

Isn't it good news that Crysis 2 sales figures are very strong? (irregardless of platform)

Which means we will get Crysis 3!

What exactly are you taking issue with here?

Oh and on a side note...once the FPS genre has gone from PC native games to the stage of "console native games that require extra work for the PC port", then the cow is already out of the barn. Boycotting at this stage only concretes the position.

Thankfully, Crysis 2 is the #2 best seller on steam at the moment. Trailing just behind Valve's own Portal 2.

Crysis 3 iwmc!!!

Post by: Spazosaurus on March 30, 2011, 12:35:15 PM
I'm annoyed by the tone of the article. They are taking disc sales alone and saying well llook how poor pc version is selling...without giving the whole picture.

Had the article even mentioned something along the lines of 'not including digital sales', and generally lost its obnoxious tone, i'd be fine.

Of course this is my opinion but that author is an @ss.

And on another note, if they are planning on putting in the same weak effort into Crysis 3 on the pc, i'd rather they dont bring it, just so I wont have to hear anyone complain how weak sales figures are for a half hearted console port.

Then again, its probably so easy to do a copy and paste from console to pc that it wont cost much in development and even with the poor sales, big wigs like Cevat could take pc profits to buy a new boat or upgrade his house.

PC Dics sales these days account for ah small portion of actual sales.

Digital Download is d name of d game, is why steam so powerful, and contiuning to get bigger.
Digital Sales on steam counldnt be better. And if u add up d sale figures from, Steam, EADM, Direct 2 Drive. im sure d numbers will be far more impressive.

Actually the count was up to 6 since last night with 8 by today :p

And I won't get back into the PS3 vs. 360 argument, there some... individuals that will take offense easily and start to flail like a duck by a river surrounded by Trini indians (no offense intended XD).
XBL > PSN talk done on that argument :p I play for multi, you could keep ur 'platform specific' releases as good as they are, when i'm not gaming online I MAY game on the PC, I don't see where a PS3 fits in there.

Last, I played the demo of Crysis 2 multi on XBL and it was a solid experience, so even tho crytek isn't known for their multi, I was pleased with this encarnation and thus bought it for the MP. In 6 months we WILL move on regardless of if it were a COD title so I don't know how a COD argument would be infalable. In 6 months GOW 3 will drop and EVERYTHING ELSE WILL KISS MY Trini @$$ XD

Post by: TriniXaeno on March 30, 2011, 02:02:47 PM
lol, w1n, you know a CoD title has more longevity that pretty much every other FPS on the planet...save HALO.

Awesome, to be honest, I ain't even take on the tone of the article. Gotten so immune to it at this stage. PC lost the "sales figures" argument since 2007 (as clearly demonstrated in the second article I posted)

That is truly flagging a dead horse. It doesn't help that steam doesn't publish their figures and NPD doesn't account for it either. Strange, since it would be much easier to report digital sales than brick and mortar.

The good news is that NPD has agreed to publish those numbers on a monthly basis as of March 2011.

See here: http://www.next-gen.biz/news/ea-welcomes-npd-digital-shift (http://www.next-gen.biz/news/ea-welcomes-npd-digital-shift)

By the end of 2011, we should see a true picture of how the PC platform is coping against the console incursion.

and lastly, in defense of Crysis...the game doesn't play or look like a console port at all. They nuked some advanced options in the menu but honestly, can't say that I miss them at this stage. Clocking 59 fps on Very High (takes dip during intense firefights though).

Plus they removed the "press start" which was left to annoy PC gamers no doubt, lol. So really, I can't complain now.

Half the time, my multiplayer rank/unlocks/etc won't save. I'll have to do things over and over, re-unlock attachments/etc whenever I take a break from multiplayer and go back in. This game has a LOT of issues in it, and a good few in single player too. They could have done far better.

Wyatt, I'll say it feels like a console port because of the game mechanics itself. I did NOT play Crysis 1, but I did play Crysis Warhead, and compared to Crysis 2, Warhead was superior in tactics and control scheme. Sure 2 had the climbing objects and all that, and it feels more like you're actually able to use your environment, but Warhead (and 1) had better use of the suit. For example, Strength mode would be used not only to jump and throw items higher/farther, but it reduced recoil in your guns, and reduced sway for sniping. Then you could SPRINT WITHOUT SUIT ENERGY. If you get shot in cloak in C2, you have to walk to cover. In Warhead at least you could run away and hide. Also, if you sprinted at someone you'd knock them down, in C2 I haven't seen that ability (but I could be wrong). It just feels like in bringing the game to the consoles, they dumbed down the interface to the point of losing advanced tactics that existed in the previous games. It doesn't feel right.

Might just be my bias though, I'm the king of hating on Consolitis.

no you're absolutely right, it has been made more "accessible"

I think that's the most politically polite way of putting it without offending our console brethren. lol

That is an industry trend and not unique to Crysis 2 in any way. A lot of times games perform like crap on a PC aside from being made "more accessible" in terms of gameplay mechanics. BlackOps being the most recent example. Its as though they did zero QA on the PC experience. Stutters and hiccups galore on computers more powerful than the console from whence it came.

Thankfully, that wasn't the case with Crysis 2 (with the notable exception Arcman raised over the Multi GPU setup woes)

The ONLY reason Crysis 2 didn't have those graphical issues is because they took the Crysis 1 textures, and halved the game's texture resolution. Crysis 1 actually looks better. Crysis 2 just has extra bells and whistles.

Also, they admitted to not testing anything for Black Ops. When they released the DLC that they expect people to pay for, they accidentally copied over the code making the sniper sway heavily upon zoom in like on the consoles and included it in the patch. They confirmed it was a mistake. They don't care about the PC, and as such they ain't getting my money again >_>

If Battlefield 3, Brink and anything consecutive made by Valve fails us, I'll give up PC gaming and go to the consoles, spend three weeks learning FPS on the controller, and promptly make everybody in every game think I'm hacking.

I'm about to finish the campaign and it hasn't crashed or done anything to piss me off since (fingers and toes crossed)

Then comes the real test....multiplayer.

If I could put a keyboard/mouse on a PS3 and run BO... Sony go ban me from PSN for hax. By the time I connect them, they console go be like:
"Rape level over 9000. Disconnecting from PSN. Please contact whiny 10 year old child for assistance in lowering rape level to under 9000."

Also, I find it funny that Crysis 2 only has "high, very high and extreme" settings on the PC... Like the Xbox get low and the PS3 get medium, and the PC start from high XD

By the way, Crysis 2 still sucky in graphics, all they did is take the textures from Crysis 1 and halve the resolution. Someone even did a comparison; CryEngine 3 only has the game mechanics different, with maybe some lighting/etc improvements. CryEngine 2 is the most optimized they have lol. Still commendable that the PC looks best though, that IS very rare these days.

You 'can' play with a keyboard and mouse on PS3 eh.  Jut look up the 'Eagle Eye'.
I have one, and it works splendidly.  As far as the PS3 is concerned, it's just another controller.



Let me now reproduce a post from the MyCrysis forums that basically sums up everything bad/wrong with this game (the PC version).

I know it's long, but it's really worth the read.


Quote
Why I won't be buying or pirating Crysis 2. Constructive.   04 03, 2011 /06:44

That is, constructive explanation and criticism over why I am disappointed with Crytek for their product, Crysis 2.

First of all, jeez, I must of played through Crysis 20 times. Maybe not played through in a linear fashion, but I've definitely loaded all the levels multiple times (the earlier levels more frequently) because in Crysis 1, it doesn't really feel like the level has a start and an end. It's so different each time, that you could give me one level and I would happily play it over and over, and I would be hard-pressed to say "I did the same thing twice" and I'm not talking about little things like picking up a barrel or whatnot, I mean, the way you progress through the level.

I play on Contact and Recovery a lot, and in those levels in particular there are many, MANY ways to play any way you want. There's so many angles of approach (road, jungle, high ground, sea, beach) and each have different obstacles and guards to tackle. In addition, there are several different play styles, predator, stealth, all out soldier.. and just mucking around (throwing barrels at soldiers to kill them, etc)

This kind of gameplay is just amazing. It's such pure fun, and I know a lot of criticism goes on Crysis for having bad gameplay but these people have no idea how to have their own fun in FPS these days, they're too used to being shoehorned through tight corridors and this criticism comes 95% from console fanboys who have never played the game in the first place.


Anyway, when Crysis 2 was announced to be multiplatform, I was instantly skeptical. It sounds very elitist, but the fact is unless you develop for PC first, and release on PC first, then make whatever changes are necessary to bring it to consoles, then the PC experience is going to be hampered in some ways by the massive limitations of the console hardware, control method and target audience.


I feel that these three areas have successfully destroyed what made Crysis such a fun and relatively unique FPS (Yeah, jungle FPS has been done before, but never in this way, never with this much freedom)

For starters, lets look at the story.

Spoilers for Crysis 1.

You end the game with a bang, Prophet is going back to the island to suck it to the Aliens, you (Nomad) and Psycho and Helena chase him, the game ends.

Crysis 2, you're in New York, you're a normal soldier, Prophet gives you his suit then buggers off, there's no mention of anything at all from Crysis 1 or Warhead, what in the hell? I want to continue the story, I know C1's story wasn't amazing, but it was suitable to pace the action, give progression to what you're doing and it was mildly interesting. Where did the aliens come from? What's with freezing everything?


So why couldn't Crysis 2 begin on the Island and then move on to NYC?

I have a theory, remember the CE3 tech demo on the Island? I'm sorry, but on PS3 and 360, it looks like absolute crap. Like a grab bag of low/med/high settings on PC, a LOT of stuff like view distance and object pop-in and textures have been compromised. Physics and water are toned down, no object motion blur, lower detail particles.

I don't want to give the consoles too much credit, but Crysis 2 looks pretty decent on consoles. The tech demo for the island, however, really does not.

So what happened? Well they didn't want such a dramatic difference in IQ, so they just cut the entire continuation of Crysis 1 from the drawing board and hacked together a solution to fit the consoles, but leave the PC in the dark.


The same thing has happened with the controls. In order to make it easier for console players with a controller, things need to be streamlined. In my opinion, there can be many different solutions to the whole "4 suit options is good, but combining them isn't possible" instead of merging them into two options. This isn't really a very good solution, it just gives a feel of "consolization" AKA, the act of making things simpler to fit the needs of a different audience.



Now, what developers need to realise, and as a consumer I'm in the right situation to say (unlike other complaints or topics when people with no clue blame developers for things they have no right blaming them for) that the PC and console audiences are completely different. The games that were on each system in the early 2000's were completely different. Consoles had JRPG's, platformers, racers, arcade style games, the PC had shooters, simulators, RPG's, RTS's and more puzzle style games.


For some reason, I think the popularity of FPS like Halo and COD on console is partly to blame, developers or publishers, whoever, has been thinking it's a good idea to merge both audiences by creating a one-size-fits-all model of game development that they think is good for all. But as developers know, when going multiplat you always need to design for the lowest denominator.

This is evidence by Cevat Yerli being quoted (I'm paraphrasing) as saying "If it didn't work on consoles, we cut it from the PC version"

Hang on one bloody second, Mr. Yerli. That is not acceptable. I don't want to sound like one of those high-horse twats but what was Far Cry on? PC. Crysis? PC. Who PAID for the games you and your team poured your creativity into? PC guys. Who made Far Cry for consoles? Another damn team, and they sacrificed what they could to bring a good experience to consoles, while PC had an uncompromised experience with Far Cry on PC.

So what's going on? Why are you essentially stabbing your loyal fanbase in the back? "Hey guys, thanks for buying Far Cry, thanks for buying Crysis, we made these games for PC to take advantage of your hardware that you paid for because it's your hobby, well, here's a new one for ya, forget the name of progress, you can all be thrown back 5-6 years to the days of the Xbox 360! Cheers, bye!"



Now, let's look at the actual gameplay itself. God, I remember being bombarded with the term "Vertical gameplay" by Nathan Camarillo. I'm sorry, but this sounds like pure unbridled PR damage control ****.

So basically, consoles can't handle large dynamic environments with good IQ settings (CE3 demo as proof of this) so it needs to be moved to a City. City's ARE big, but they aren't OPEN, but City's ARE TALL.

Now, who played 2D platformers? What's the most annoying thing you can think of in those games. Falling down from a height and having to go all the way back up. So you can excuse me if I think that stalking opponents in a dense, living jungle is more exciting that climbing up flight after flight of stairs, only to fall down a blown out hole in a building while bum-sliding. Then having to go allllll the way back up.


That reminds me, why remove lean and prone from the game? What else is missing? Do we still get tactical map? different grenades? Ammo selection? I mean, two suit options have already been streamlined, and now we get bumslides and parkour... G...great?


Well it kinda defeats the purpose.



Now let's look at the graphics themselves. I find it ironic that the best looking game of all time, and STILL the best looking game of all time (even vanilla) (also still VERY technically impressive in regards to scale and dynamic gameplay, there's no other game like it) has failed to be surpassed by it's successor.

No matter which way you spin it, Crysis 1 looks ever so slightly better than Crysis 2. Crysis 2 has better indoor environments, without a doubt, it was designed for it, but the outside... what? What happened? Why can't I shoot down trees? Why can't I pick lots of environment stuff up? WHY ARE THERE NO CHICKENS TO THROW AT EVIL KOREANS!?


It seems that everything, EVERYTHING has been butchered, limited, streamlined or hacked down in some way or another to fit onto console, I would not ever have a problem with it, if they gave us a proper sequel to Crysis on PC first, then a year later or 6 months down the line released on consoles. It's happening with "The Witcher 2" and as it stands, it's looking to take the title of best graphics in a TPS by a mile and a half. I'm sorry Crytek, but it looks utterly fantastic. That's a PC exclusive, and then it'll come on consoles, with whatever needs to be cut or reshaped to fit on console, cut and reshaped. The PC version maintains everything that MAKES it a PC version.



I mean, when a game ships with DX9 support, no plans for DX11 to take advantage of the graphics cards that were advertised by Nvidia as having DX11 support and exclusive features for Crysis 2.. That's just not right.

When a beta ships out with console code in, that's not right.

When the full game also ships with the same code in, that's not right.

When they take away mod support "to be released later" (DICE and Treyarch both made this promise, and failed to deliver last year, you can understand why I'm skeptical) that's not right.

When, for an entire year, the only media we see about the game is from the Xbox, that's not right.


When it is PC guys who have supported Crysis through Far Cry and Crysis / Warhead, then get the short end of the stick when Crytek focus their efforts on getting a good looking game to run on Dinosaur hardware, that is not right.

lol @ 9000

As for the graphics, sucky doesn't do justice to how amazing this game looks. That's pretty harsh since Crysis 2 is definitely the best looking title on my PC to date.

You must have extremely high standards (pun intended)

Arc, I think the "time machine" posts a little higher up more than explains why Crytek did what they had too. Neuter iwmc.

PC gamers had their chance to make Crysis a success in the sales department and put food on the developers table. They/we totally blew it... Sales were dismal. Now the developers are turning to the console gamers to "drink ah juice".

Seems they made the right move, if sales reports are true.

I was reading back some of the older posts, so I have this random collection of snippets to add:

I tell people solid. Either you use universal accounts like EA or Atari's to get on, or you use Steam or GFWL for DRM, and then you has un-crackable-for-online games. If a game release multiplayer and people want the multiplayer, regardless of if they crack the game for SP, they gonna buy a blasted key to play online, as long as they can't get it anywhere else. I doh wanna hear no more "pirates ruining everything" talk. If they used Steam for DRM, this wouldn't be happening. If they used GFWL, I'd have probably crack it, then buy a key somewhere for GFWL, like I did with GTA 4. If it was with EA, I'd probably have gotten an EADM key, like I did with Medal of Honor (which I STILL regret buying, btw). They'd still get their money and thus support. And if I'm just that broke, I pass it over altogether.

And for W1ntry who saying that a PC built in the last year is needed to bun games good, my LAPTOP (yes laptop) will be 2 years old in june, and I could still max out almost all the games I own. In fact, I'ma go see if it'll work if I put Crysis 2 on Extreme right now... *launches Crysis 2 and forgets to post this*

I am quite pleased with Crysis 2 online. Tbh I didn't have a rig capable of playing Crysis on the PC until recently and I have yet to reinstall Crysis and Warhead to 'see' all the glory. In short I don't know what i'm missing from the original set, but considering it's universally accepted that multi was NEVER their strong point, I am quite content with the console experience, built on XBL, can't go wrong. There are some hickups but nothing that has taken away from my experience thus far.

Ultima, whenever you turn to XBL Gold, hit we up, always interested in good players (in whatever FPS you play on console)

@ Capn... I too bought it not once but twice.. and YES I wish I could take it back. That being said, to be fair, it was purchased so as to show the PC men that a controller can hold its own. I think red and myself showed that well enough XD

Now, I buy games when I can, around late 2009 I finally got fed up of just trying to tief everything, you know what I mean? But I think, far far too often, I have gotten the short end of the stick when trusting developers. Some people I love (Valve), some people aren't too bad but still don't seem to care much about PC users (DICE; pre-BF3, Epic Games), and some people are just atrocious (Treyarch, Crytek). I'm not pre-ordering anything again. Even BF3 with all its hype, I'm waiting till it's out and people can attest to it being a true PC release or not. If I could go back, I probably wouldn't have bought Black Ops. I'd never have asked for MW2 and I even got that one as a gift >_>. Like I said, if Brink, Portal 2 and BF3 disappoint, I'll have to move to the consoles, where the games released are fine for the platform.

And @Awesome, I didn't think it was possible to tell someone off while bashing a developer XD

Patch v1.2 is out. Nothing seems to be changed, unlocks still not saving in MP and i heard that the Nano Catalyst in SP still isn't saving. I haven't tested the SP yet but the MP feels different. Lag seems to be greatly reduced and hit detection is more or less spot on. I can finally kill something when i find myself in a 1 on 1 situation instead of spraying to find the hitbox.

**Just checked, the nano catalyst bug in SP appears to be fixed.

I sincerely do hope that Crytek has learned from their mistakes with this title,

down to about 6 out of 10.

Oh, PLEASE believe me when I say that the 'Ultra' setting is really that.

At 4 GHz CPU clock, and GPUs overclocked as far as good sense will allow,
the AVERAGE framerate hovers just around 35, with drops to about 24, which,
interestingly enough, is just about where we were when the original Crysis was released.

Runs absolutely STELLAR on the 'Extreme' preset for me though, and with
Objects set to 'Ultra', looks FANTASTIC, as it enables Parallax Occlusion Mapping,
(which makes rough surfaces appear rough, and not just a flat, 'rough-looking' texture).


I shall replay the campaign again, so that I may bask in its DX11 awesomeness.  :happy0203:


I can actually fully recommend the game now as a solid purchase, but it's no longer
available on Steam.  It's available on Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Crysis-2-Pc/dp/B002BS47YE/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1309344858&sr=8-3) for the 40 US that some of you think

...and how is that?

I've played all the titles, on all the platforms, so am I not in a better

Did hitler not 'know' the jews before he decided they needed to be exterminated? It's like a man wearing a green tinted sunglasses tell someone without that the sky is green, not blue :p

And for those onlookers I have no beef with kz3, I just take regular pot shots at sony because I play on XBL, its just good fun.

So I recently took the dive and got this. Dx 11 is truly a mega update for this game.

Also there is Co op on the horizon.
