The Crysis 2 Thread.

So here we go again... This is most likely one of the most anticipated games of this year. This however doesn't constitute having several threads clogging up our games section over it. All Crysis 2 threads will be moved here, though I highly suggest you just post your Crysis 2 information here to begin with and save the moderators time. Plus merging threads together can make a mess and a thread can get confusing. The blame will solely rest on those who make extra threads on a game that only needs one. Post your Crysis 2 stuff here and here only.

I wonder if nvidia has given crytek a back hander to make sure it runs like shit on ati cards?

That sir.. Would be known as the "reach around" :laugh:

I really don't think so, Crytek seems to want to play nice with everyone this time around.

I'm glad we could spend the last 3 years beta testing the latest console flavor of the month. I'm setting my expectations low for this game. I hope it's an awesome game but I think it's destined to be a quick hit cash cow for EA.

I hope not Erocker,if its got nvidia TWIMTBP branding,they can shove it.

I want this game to need killer specs that demand more than Metro 2033. Its time for Crysis 2 to reclaim its spot as the most demanding game.

Says the man with dual 5970s :shadedshu jk. Personally I hope I dont have to run the graphics at a quality that rivals the original FarCry to maintain 1920x1080.

They should release a paupers version of certain games :laugh:

PCpraiser100 · Apr 10, 2010

I like Crysis for what it is already, but I'm damn excited to walk into a city wearing the Mk2 Nanosuit to pose a threat to aliens that can literally kick the $hit out of humanity. Not on my watch in 2010, EAT GAUSS FOO!

Hehehe. It was anyway confirmed sometime back that the game will be having better graphics and will be less demanding. So you got nothing to worry about bro

Here's another write up of the demo that crytek showed to the reporters.

Part 1
Part 2

One interesting quote:

Crysis 2 on an early 360 development build months away from release is, regardless of platform, flat out the most visually stunning game in history. Period. I cannot adequately describe the richness, depth of detail, and the pure sensation that you are in a Nanosuit 2 bustling about New York City. I had a flashback to the very first time I walked out of the bunker and into the tropical paradise in the first level Far Cry. There aren’t enough superlatives to put his correctly on paper.

I remember this myself,i still love FarCry.

I do hope this is as good as it seeming to be.

reverze · Apr 10, 2010

Just watched the trailer..

Personally, I won't even play it for free or waste the time.

Paintface · Apr 10, 2010

i might order a core i7 and a GTX470 to do benches on and post an update on forums every few days

SK-1 · Apr 10, 2010

Obviously impossible to to tell a game by its trailer, but this looks great.

AKlass · Apr 10, 2010

Would be funny if it ran like crap on the 360 and great on the PS3 because of Nvidia

Yeah I made that thread, although looking back it only really confirms the cryengine 3 will have dx11. Being Crytek though, i'm sure crysis 2 will support dx11
