The Crysis 2 Thread

[BumbleBee]

maybe because CoD franchise was dead for PC???

btw BF2:BC have more sale on PC than console.

I don't know about that.

According to new UK sales charts released this week, Xbox 360 has officially accounted for the most of Bad Company 2's sales, making up 53%. The PlayStation 3 was the second biggest, with 31 percent coming on that platform, while the PC contributed 16 percent.

vgchartz

• XBOX 360 2.68m worldwide
• PS3 1.99m worldwide
• PC 0.31m worldwide

BFBCS

• XBOX 360 2.4m players
• PC 2.1m players
• PS3 1.9m players

still there are more players playing Battlefield Bad Company 2 on XBOX 360 and consoles collectively than PC.

Hello BumbleBee....

DICE's acclaimed shooter Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is topping the sales charts this week with over 2.3 million copies sold already. Sure, it's no Modern Warfare 2, but that game's a supernatural force anyway.

Interestingly, last we checked in, the highest percentage of that 2.3m are PC gamers, which goes to show there's still a big audience for a solid PC FPS. The PC is where DICE built its home, and it looks like they're not going anywhere anytime soon.

And the sales are probably higher once you factor in Steam

But your stat dont even make sense. Think about it logically. How can there be 2.1m PC players online if only 0.31m bought the game on PC? Doesnt taily up.

Also, if a "older" article claims that that 2.3m of sales was generated on PC (with pc being highest at the time) it would of meant that PC would of had sales of atleast sold 766666 at absolute minimum and even more since, its definitely not 0.31m.

But yes going back to Crysis 2. I think the trailer decent, but disappointed with the scale of the maps, I liked the open field experience like in Crysis 1.

the press release for March 18th about Battlefield Bad Company 2 selling 2.3m copies is for XBOX 360, PS3 & PC.

vgchartz probably hasn't updated the sales for Bad Company 2 (PC) since launch. don't bother looking for digital distribution numbers.

Youtube has some Crysis 2 multiplayer beta footage.

So what would happen to nvidia and ATI if all the games would be made for consoles only? Ever think of that?! Personally I think the consoles are the worst invention ever for FPS and action adventure games that requires the use of mouse extensively, but maybe is just my opinion...

 

[Bjorn_Of_Iceland]

Is it me, or this looks kinda boring?! I prefer open spaces, like the jungles, not this indoor crap!

because consoles cant do wide open spaces and Crysis graphics at the same time with acceptable framerates . Rendering-wise, PC would have an advantage (ambient occlusion, butloads of shader effects)

if nVidia and ATI stopped manufacturing consumer level graphics cards I don't think much would change because they still manufacture the GPU for each console unit and workstation graphics cards for developers.

yawn. another game where you run from one point to another shooting your gun. gets old after 15 minutes if you ask me.

D'oh its a FPS.

I really hope PC version will be 100x better looking. With tesselation and soft shdows everywhere. Ambient occlusion would be the least they can do. And with tesselation imean on everything, buildings, heads, water, rocks ect.

Ehm thats still an old vid. But they dont mention THE dx11 feature (tesselatiob). I will still buy it. Im still happy as long as it
Has better visuals then consoles. Better lighting is a start! But its from april so they could have added lots of stuff.

 

[BumbleBee]

it's going to look nice on PC but I don't think CryEngine 3 is going to get the reception of being a technical marvel like CryEngine 2. the CryEngine 3 on a console is a technical achievement considering the XBOX 360 was designed in 2002 for Frak sakes. I hope this engine gets licensed because the Unreal Engine is getting too easy to spot and it's showing age.

Uh, Crysis 1 had everything you want save for tesselation so I don't know what you're worried about.

It pretty much pioneered ambient occlusion for that matter

hopes my old boys 5970 can withstand this game. =___=

Crysis 2 Console or PC

What would you get it for? I think the obvious answer is pc but what I hated about crysis 1 was the multi-player. Really made stealth pretty much useless seeing as how everyone in the game tweaked their graphics so you can see them perfectly, so with that said I would probably get it on ps3 or 360 what about you guys?

 

[jasper1605]

I'm w/ you on that. Anything that I intend to play online I go w/ ps3 as I can't stand cheaters. If I were to get this game (which I'm leaning towards not doing as $$ in the bank is better than $$ in some games right now) it would be for PS3 for my online-ing goodness

 

[cdawall]

i still want PC i like playin the campaigns still. cheaters exist everywhere including the PS network.

 

[jasper1605]

Agreed on cheats being everywhere. But I feel they are much less common on the consoles though the noob count goes up exponentially with console games.

Another reason to go consoles is that devs are continually shifting more and more resources to making the console players happy (thinking MW2 style) so it would provide a better enviro probably.

wish I could but Im no where near my 360, so Imma probably wait till it comes out be sure to let us know how it is! it's already looking good on some of the videos I've seen

I 100% agree but you can't tweak your graphics cards and what not to pretty much make stealth useless on consoles(unless theres another way I dont know about)

sorry for double post

 

[manofthem]

PC for sure, then PS3 later on. But I think the multi on PC is almost always better.

 

[cdawall]

i wish they could just sell a multi pack pay $5 more and get PC and PS3
