The Crysis 2 Thread

[Over_Lord]

I just hope that console quality settings on PC should be achievable by a dual core CPU and 512MB VRAM gcard like GTS450 range(i noe it's 1GB but still) and 2GB system ram(thnx win7, maybe XP will run on less, but under DX9)

cant wait for the demo, hopefully they include a benchmark run in it too.

heres hoping for equal or better performance than Crysis, with equal or better visuals.

the change of setting alone is going to look amazing imo.

Of course it will. That has always been attainable, even was on Crysis 1* with a comparable build at the time (i.e with a HD3850, GF 7900 or X1900) but it also required you to play with comparable settings, which would include low resolution (720p or maybe 1440*900), low anisotropic filtering settings and low AA (2x), if at all. With Crysis 2, and the computer you mention, I'm pretty sure you will be able to attain better shader/texture/shadow settings than on consoles AND still be able to use 1080p + 16xAF + 4xAA.

* I mean that on Crysis 1 you could use a combo of medium, high and some low settings and attain same or better graphics than those in console games at the time.

Console versions? Oh god. Now the 12 year olds will only talk about MAXIMUM STRENGTH.

Better than old men talking about 'maximum strength' ...if you catch my drift.

I know some people who are way better on a gamepad than KB + mouse

No you don't.

 

[NdMk2o1o]

dunno why some people are moaning, they are recommending a 3.5 year old GPU and 4 year old dual core as minimum req's I would say thats about standard for most modern games, though that said, I was never a fan of the 1st one so doubt I will like this one anymore!!

New facts about Crysis on PC revealed by Cevat Yerli, the man behind Crytek. Interesting stuff. If you want to read all the link is here

http://www.next-gen.biz/features/crysis-2-interview

Just a teaser: "There was a bit of confusion over the source of the latest screenshots released. Which platform did they came from? PC?

I think they were a mix. There was one 360 and the others were PC. But honestly, the PC version hasn’t been shown off yet at all. They were rendered out of PC but at console settings. The PC settings aren’t being disclosed at all right now. We haven’t made any screenshots yet that show the PC settings."

 

[TRIPTEX_CAN]

Where the hell is the freaking demo?

Sigh* another reason I hate the x360... Like I needed one.

 

[Jaffakeik]

For me crisys died when it was announced on consoles.This game should be only PC gerne.

 

[TAViX]

Does anyone else think that fighting aliens or else thorough city ruins is getting boring and LAME???
I'm thinking that the same $hit happened in games like Duke Nukem 3D, FEAR, Gears of War, Stalkers, Metro 2033, Deus Ex 2, etc, etc...shadedshu:shadedshu

So much moaning about a game that was never good. Really, what exactly is so awesome about Crysis other than showing off your penis rig specs?

 

[BumbleBee]

the suit voice? MAXIMUM ARMOR, CLOAK ENGAGED. that was pretty cool..

I thought Crysis was actually a very good game...the gameplay of fighting Koreans that then evolves into an alien shootout was imaginative in my opinion. Not to mention that the graphics had no comparison at the time of release, and with certain mods out there, they got even better.

Ir wasn't mind blowing but it was an ok shooter with a decent story.

 

[StoneCold Chaos]

Really looking forward to this game, when it does come out. Played both Crysis, and Crysis Warhead, and thought that WH was a bit better. Never did dabble to much in the Mp portion of the games, mainly because I would be a bullet magnet.

Can't wait for the Pc demo!!

 

[Solaris17]

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.

no i hear ya im banking on this being dev'd for the 360 and then moved to PC wtf lame.

8800GT is MINIMUM for Crysis 2 while the GTS was RECOMMENDED for the first.

 

[Solaris17]

so? i could tell the engineers to include diff textures for the PC version too.

Cevat Yerli of Crytek, the makers of Far Cry, Crysis and Crysis Warhead has publicly stated:

We are suffering currently from the huge piracy that is encompassing Crysis. We seem to lead the charts in piracy by a large margin, a chart leading that is not desirable. I believe that’s the core problem of PC Gaming, piracy, to the degree [that PC gamers who] pirate games inherently destroy the platform. Similar games on consoles sell factors of 4-5 more. It was a big lesson for us and I believe we won’t have PC exclusives as we did with Crysis in future.

Yerli said that years ago. a lot of work went into making CryEngine 3 for consoles.

not to mention werent the VERY early videos on PS3 and xbox exclusives? they hadent made a PC version of the levels from what i remember at that time.

 

[TheoneandonlyMrK]

the suit voice? MAXIMUM ARMOR, CLOAK ENGAGED. that was pretty cool..

+ 1

i thought all of crysis was very good, and deffinaltely the best inside an alien ship bit ive yet seen on anything including film,it was sensational and baffling, perfect

also im sure i heard a crytek spokesperson state that crysis 2 would deffinately be a true replacement for 1 in the CAN IT RUN CRYSIS THO category we all talked about,way back when and im sure he also stated that like the first it would be a FEW years before people can truly max it. I know ive no proof of this! im asking if anyone else heard or rems this?

i'm not sure. sometimes developers are sneaky and demo the PC version with XBOX 360 controller. latest example of that is a title called Brink by Bethesda.

 

[Frick]

My point was that Mailman's comment isn't all true. Crysis 1 only says 256MB graphic card with this comment: "Supported chipsets: NVIDIA GeForce 6800 GT or greater; ATI Radeon 9800 Pro (Radeon X800 Pro for Vista) or greater". And we don't even have the Recommended specs yet, so I don't see how people screams "port and it'll be horrible and and run like shiet!!!111!!" from looking at system specs.
