This kind of sucks that they are not appearing to follow the story arc of the original Crysis. Also I never heard this in 300 :p


I am not holding my breath but I hope its good.

Ehhh, people say the first crysis was all about graphics, but I enjoyed the story and the physics more than anything (modifying your strength to 10000x normal is fun when you punch people :p) and all the mods.

At least crytek let people mod their games, unlike some (looking at you COD MW2)

Wait...so Crysis 2, a game that appears to be about aliens, had nothing to do with Crysis warhead, a game about the emergence of aliens, and Crysis, a game about the discovery of aliens.

What?

Anyway, I'm actually pretty psyched for the game, even though no doubt my rig can't run it. Its just the only game that can say "you see that? yeah, that's all in game, not pre-rendered" (here is looking at you final fantasy.)

:D.

New MOH game did that too. the cutscenes looked like the crysis engine even.

I've made the thread the official Crysis 2 thread, sure there will be a lot more updates and a lot of people, myself included, that are very much looking forward to the spectacle at least, if not the actual game, so best to keep everything in one place.

That trailer looks awesome, the graphics for actual in game footage is insane, and it would appear that gameplay has been massively improved over Crysis, just hope that stability and AI has been improved. Looks amazing either way :D

This looks really really good.
Sliding shooting? That is just so badass. I hope it's not too intensive, I wanna run it at medium at least:cool:.

Also, the options part, VATS anyone?

It is the same as Crysis 1 I think, where you get the circle thing with the different options for the suits, rather than it being where it attacks for you like VATS

Doesn't look like that at all. When he says "best of all I get options" or something, he is clearly targeting enemies, kinda like a mix of VATS and the rage thing on Force Unleased 2.

Looks kinda cool, lol i especially liked the part where he kicked the car at the alien monster :D Wondering if i will be able to run it at full :confused: ( hope so:rolleyes: ) Had installed crysis warhead on my old pc which was pretty bad so i didn't get the chance to play through it :p

Oh I see what you mean, I think that is more of a perk, showing where all of the enemies are, rather than going attacking them. I don't know if that is what the rage thing is, I've never played Force Unleashed :p

If it is anything like the first one, you won't be able to max it on current hardware, and not for a few generations to come

I beg to differ. From what I have gathered, CryEngine 3 is just better multithreaded (support for up to 12 physical cores) and added DX11 features. If that's all they've done it's probably been very optimised as well :)

At least I hope so!

I never said they didn't follow the same concept I said they didn't follow the story arc. Go play the first Crysis again and you will see what I mean. Warhead imho had nothing to do with the original arc either...it was the same story but from another perspective of Crysis.

12 physical cores, so 24 with multithreading, or 12 threads, so a hex core + multi threading?

From the early videos and what not of it, what I can gather they have improved the lighting effects, which in turn improves a lot of other things, like fire animations, explosions with or without fire, because the reflections from the shards are better, it has better physics, and is, apparently, programmed much better than CryEngine 2 was, but to be fair, that isn't difficult to do it better than that buggy pile of crap. It was very, very pretty though

Looks good,You know ive still not played the first one yet..i started it and done a couple of missions then for some reason stopped,i think i had to format my machine or something then never bothered installing again.

I just installed crysis warhead and i must say it is REALLY nice with the graphics. Gonna have to play it trough ( heard it includes aliens eh? :rolleyes: )
But another thing is, im running it on full settings, aa 16q 1920x1080 and the other settings on enthusiast or however that word is spellt. I have read that cryengine 3 will have lower requirements than cryengine 2 so i was thinking that maybe i could run crysis 2 pretty nicely if i can run this one on max? :D

You will probably dissapoint me and say no :( Lol :D

I'm still hoping to get crysis and crysis warhead running on full within the next year, i still havent played either as i want to enjoy them both on full graphics.
Crysis 2 looks good but i am concerned that since, from what i remember, they are also concentrating hard on a console release that it doesn't cause the gameplay to be poor on the PC version and that the graphics are kept at the same quality the consoles will be, because console graphics are nowhere near what a state of the art pc can do.

That song reminds of a film named something like 300 ;)
