The Crysis 2 Thread

[Jaffakeik]

Hopefully to PS3 version is actually programmed to use the cell cpu good. But I'm getting the PS3 version for awesome graphics and better controls.

I dont see point in your sentence.how can be possibly better graphic and controls for ps3.its obivious that PS3 will never have better graphics than PC and its obiviosly that shooters are better playing on keyboard and mouse than on gamepad.its already proven 100 years ago and your arguments are uselless against it.

Crysis 1
Recommended GPU: Video Card - Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTS/640 or similar

Crysis 2
NVIDIA 8800 GT 512MB Ram or better

Thats right.....Not a 470 or anything with real balls by todays standard. Port balls deep. Told yall but no one listens to me.

I also pray that it will not be a sucky console port... But for now allow me to stress:

Crysis 1 Recommended GPU - 8800gts 640 (and we all know how smooth(?) that ran the game right at enthusiast settings right?! :shadedshu)

Crysis 2 MINIMUM NVIDIA 8800 GT 512MB Ram (IIRC 8800GT 512 >= 8800GTS 640).


Here's to hoping this will push hardware, and will actually have good gameplay to go along with graphics

 

[Jaffakeik]

noone will buy game if they show in recommended specs 580GTX or similar(beause not everyone can afford to get card for 400£.thats why they put in vcards anyone can afford.

 

[Frizz]

Meh idc if it turns out to be a shitty console port in terms of graphics.. which I highly doubt it will be.... BUT if it is, at least we get to run it at 60fps. I prefer 60fps more than anything especially on a shooter, imo this is why COD does so well in their franchise it can run high frames on console and low end PC... 30fps for an FPS doesn't match up to me!

WRONG

If the Cell engine is used to its full potential, with the combination of the possibility that Crysis 2 will be a Console Port, It is indeed possible that the PS3 version has better graphics.

 

[Jaffakeik]

ok in that fact maybe,but not in control fact, because mouse and keyboard will beat any shooter player who plays on gamepad

 

[n-ster]

I know some people who are way better on a gamepad than KB + mouse xD but yes, 99.99% of the time, in an FPS KB + mouse is better than gamepad ofc. doesn't mean you can't enjoy an FPS with a gamepad though

I must admit i played borderlands on ps3, but with k/m its way better
Edit: I really hope that crysis 2 wont be console port, because than i wont buy it.

I think the only reason companies release games on both PCs and consoles is to say "well, it seems as though consoles sell a lot more copies than PCs do. How about all future games we just develop for the console and port to the PC?"

That said, hopefully Crysis II is a true PC port to console. I hate hearing people complain of console ports (myself included).

 

[xbonez]

Ok, lets not discuss consoles here.

Honestly, I'm a little disappointed with the requirements considering the whole 'but will it play Crysis' ? Metro 2033 has recommends a GTX 470/480...I was kinda hoping for requirements along those lines.

 

[jellyrole]

The specs listed are the MINIMUM..NOT RECOMMENDED hardware.

See the difference?

 

[pantherx12]

I saw a statement from someone who works at crytek that said the game was ported from pc to console not vice versa.

So crappy console rip should bve no probs

 

[Crap Daddy]

here's the latest so cool down:

First information about the PC system requirements has surfaced on Electronic Arts Germany's Crysis 2 blog. The full (translated) list is below. There were no mention whether the following requirements are the minimum or the recommended ones. The full system requirements announcement should be due soon.


Update: Crytek has now stated that these minimum requirements are not official nor final. Stay tuned for the proper announcement.

And no, it is not a console port. Apparently Cryengine 3 is capable of doing stuff simultaneously on all three platforms. Hope we'll have a wonderfui game in March.

 

[meran]

haha i saw how smooth my 5850 run crysis hope it will with crysis 2 too

WRONG

If the Cell engine is used to its full potential, with the combination of the possibility that Crysis 2 will be a Console Port, It is indeed possible that the PS3 version has better graphics.

Not to derail the thread, but Cell is not very powerful by todays standards. Any Core i7 or 6 core Phenom 2 is faster than Cell on peak math, not to mention actual/sustainable performance. And on top of that Cell has nothing to do with graphics in a broad sense (modern graphics as you would see in Crysis), it's only used to add some effects and filters.

Cell alone == useless for graphics.

If cell is used to its fll potential, the graphics will be better than the Xbox 360 version. And if Crysis 2 turns out to be a console port to its worse sense, than graphics on the PC would only be about the same as the X360, which means that even practically, it is possible to see a game with better graphics on the ps3 than on a PC.

I'm am not debating the capability of a PC vs Console as any mid-range PC is more powerful, but a game can be developped so badly that indeed, it could look better on a console

It probably won't hppen with Crysis 2 as they are known for their graphics and they have been in the PC market for quite a while, so it will most likely be a PC port or even not a port (developped for each system individually)

Oh and for me, post processing, better effects and filters does = better graphics

 

[KainXS]

"looks at fifa 2010"

if its a port . . . . . I don't know what I would say.

Fair enough, but it will not happen. They have already showed the workflow and their tools, and how they develop for the PC version and their tools automatically create the console versions from it, dynamically adjusting the level of detail of both geometry and textures, and probably shader quality/accuracy.

Also I'm not even sure of your first sentence. Even if Cell it's used to its full potential it will mean very little. Don't buy Sony's PR stuff on how Cell is amazing, it's not, the games they claim to extensively use Cell and hence have better graphics are just using ALL the resources better (mainly the GPU). Granted, unlike PC games, most console games completely lack good post-process effects (because their DX9 level GPUs can only give so much) and like I said Cell can indeed help there (in comparison to XB360, against PCs it cannot hold a candle). For me, texture and shader quality is far more important than filter quality so IMO most games look better on the XB360 anyway, despite lacking or having lesser quality effects/filters.

 

[n-ster]

My argument is that it is possible, not that it will happen

Yea, as KainXS pointed out... Fifa 2010

 

[char[] rager]

Isn't the peak processing power of the ps3 as a whole somewhere around 1 to 2 teraflops. If so, a single gtx 580 alone has like 3 or 4 teraflops...

Where have you been man. Aint seen you in a while!

no, around 400 if i remember right. sony gave some hilariously inflated number.

i'm sorry, why are you comparing a 4.5 year old console to a graphics card that is twice the price and 5 years new and the current graphic king?

the Cell's peak is 410GFlops
a stock i7 980 has a peak of 107.55 GFlops
