Crysis 2

[blood-lust]

whoever have it on pc add me: Vizar

[W1nTry]

Finished the SP last night... some LOTR ish in dere man! EPIC! I eh care what nobody say about PC graphics and console old, blah blah blah. I enjoyed it, will continue to enjoy it and it's gaining momentum amoungst my console bredren (would you believe it's a availability issue on xbox?, yeah the game OUT OF STOCK EVERYWHERE atm).

This love child of COD, BF & Halo just has everything I want in a FPS atm (until BF3 arrives at least). If this game looks THIS good on the console, I can imagine what it COULD look like on a PC with DX11... it will blow EVERYTHING else away (once done right). I think the Crytek 3 engine is an impressive piece ah code rivalling ALL.

But hey that's just my personal opinion. As for the PC men who complaining to no end:

[Spazosaurus]

I just waiting on more pc men to buy it. Definitely not shelling out $60 to play by myself.

How many trini ppl sweating this on xbl though win?

[W1nTry]

Atm we UNFORTUNATELY only have 3, by today (availability) we should have 6m by next week more. I'm an 'early adopter' lol, but I preaching the word XD

[TriniXaeno]

After the awe inspiring graphics on the PC version (compared to the xbox 360), I really consider it an insult to play Crysis 2 on a console yes. lol

That is a notion only to be entertained if you really can't do better.

Why play this Scifi equivalent of poetry in motion in anything short of 1080P HD? It deserves nothing less!

that's like playing Battlefield on your Iphone.

^^ This is exactly why, i have not yet even launched crysis 2, and considering waiting till my sandy bridge / 6990 rig, cuase i want to play it, at its absolute BEST!

Its d reason i only recently started playing crysis 1, cause that game, on enthusist settings, is a sight to behold! @ 2560 its jaw dropping, but it kicks my rig's ass @ that res. but @ 1920+Enthusist, its still stunning.

When my 6990 reach, i runing crysis warhead, den crysis 2.

Enjoy them at they best!

[Doomtack]

Same here Messiah, I just waiting on some free timt to play out Crysis 1 and Warhead, then move to crysis 2 SP. For now, the MP would suffice for those 30 minute breaks I have.

[TriniXaeno]

You might be pleasantly surprised to see how smooth Crysis 2 will run on your existing system boy messiaah.

They have made massive improvement in code optimization since Crysis 1 apparently.

[MessiaaH]

Hmmm, interesting, does crysis 2 have a built in benchmark that i coudl jsu run to gage performance? i want 2560 @ Max res, with no dropping below 60fps.

From d crysis 2 benchmarks of d gtx 590 and 6990, i doh think my gpu coudl acomplist that, let me double check now.

har har har @ wyatt. I am quite content with the visuals of the game on a 'console' and seeing as my regular gaming folk are console men thats where I be. Allyuh PC men too inconsistent :p So look at it as i'll buy my standard almera which I can drive EVERYDAY rather than buy a primera with a SR20DET, drop low, 17" rims, etc etc but put gas every 250km. Function over form immc.
I'll get BF3 on the PC, but otherwise I real good. I not like messiah who need the best of the best visuals, I content and that's what matters. Plus the console men not complaining like the PC men, we just sweating while allyuh cussing about drivers :p

[TriniXaeno]

the pc men not complaining...arcman complaining.

that is one, singular....uno.

The game runs like a dream for everyone else...and an order of magnitude more graphically splendiferious than its console counterpart.

It's not even close. Not by a long shot.

I can understand playing multiplayer on the console if that is where  your friends are....just really sorry for you missing out on the beyond epic eye fest that is the PC campaign experience.

Dare say, it is a work of art. Sipping on it like fine wine right now.

Here's hoping they sell a million copies and bring on Crysis 3

[MessiaaH]

Wyatt, i go put it ah next way for them:

Being content is key, and yes alyuh juss swetting, but d game not running no where. lolol.
Weather i play it now, or 6 months from now, is same swet. Crysis graphics have a tendancy to not age with time, so i could wait, crysis 1 is still one of d best looking games out there, and it how old?

So u enjoy yuhself in yuh almera for d time being, i go zoom by in meh bugatti in ah bit, den all left for u to do, is wonder how it feels to drive at that speed

D dream of console gamers,



And any man with a pair of balls, will want to drive that beast, if even just for 5 minutes.

Same thing applies to high end PC Gaming
No one can be told what the matrix is, you have to experience it for yourself.

[Arcmanov]

The fixes working, so I not complaining no more.  That's what I love about PC gaming.
Something not working as it should, it gets tweaked and modded the f@#k up!!! 



Would you believe I actually started back playing Crysis.

Found a 'fix' of sorts that allows Parallax Occlusion Mapping
to be used simultaneously with Anisotropic Filtering in the game engine.

I know I may have lost some of you at 'parallax', but basically
it makes the game look significantly better.  TRUST me. 

Download link at the bottom of the first post.

Just drop the file into the 'Game' folder within the Crysis install folder (Bin32 or Bin64).


When the game loads it'll look a little weird, but don't panic.  All the textures will quickly load
in before your eyes.

I can now truly run Crysis with aplomb, with 2 x AA and all settings on 'Very High'. 55 - 60 fps,
but sometimes it drops to 40 fps, and even 35 when the action on-screen gets really hot.
Turning off motion blur with this mod helps a lot.

Yeah sure, that why awesome apprehensive and eh buy, why mess EH run it yet, arc HAD a (according to wyatt) 10 page complaint and everyone else silent.

Dread I not saying that the graphics on the PC eh deserve an award yuh know, I saying you could drive yuh Bugatti all by YOURSELF, i'll drive to the bar and lime with meh friends cheers.

[TriniXaeno]

I am actually tempted to go and tweak my settings after reading your post but think I'll leave well enough alone.

[MessiaaH]

w1ntry, lololol, u eh read my post breads? i eh even launch crysis 2 yet cuase i want to play it at its best, and waiting on my 6990, buh wah trouble is dis lolol.

I doh even know how d game runs on my system cuase i eh even launch it yet.

I never had issues with my Dual GPU setup eh, all d games i play, always run like butter

Right now i have nuff game on my plate to beat, crysis 2 will have its day, but only at MAXIMUM Settings.

And i sure if it had ah bugatti in yuh yard now, u will leave those "partners" right by d bar, and take ah spin in d bugatti, stop fightin it down, u know if u coudl u WOULD! lolol.

i dont think u get the point,

you buy a ps3 and you settle for whatever graphics you get cuz there is no improvment to the system itself (i have a ps3 btw)

but some pc men will want to run the game @ its highest, even doh it will still look better than a console at its lowest.

in other words wyatt ye old system will run the game much better than the ps3... get it now?

[MessiaaH]

Dies ah good point, cause wyatt singing d game praises, night and day vs console, and he rocking midrange, muchless for high, JUH! cant wait to see dis game, i actualy tempted now, i launching it when i reach home!

[W1nTry]

Phen and allyuh missing my point, of late once a game has a MP component, THAT is the selling point to me. I bought it on the console NOT because I DON'T have a rig that can run it, my rig would do well enough (not that you've ever checked my specs). I bought it for the console because of the COMMUNITY I game with. I eh hating on this game AT ALL (i've been PREACHING IT), PC or Xbox or PS3. I saying ALLYUH hating on the console talking bout graphics etc, but hoss I ranked 90+ thousandth! in MP. What's the size of the PC community for Crysis? *crickets chirping*

@ Messi: Damn right I would take it for a spin, but my reference is made in longevity. Yuh cyah drive a bugatti to work everyday, just not practical. The MP for me was KEY. My gaming comm is XBL, simply put I bought Crysis not for it's stellar graphics, but for its REPLAY VALUE in the MP with my crew (the eye candy was a plus). I NOT hating on the PC, if the GATT community was guaranteed to sweat this steady for the next 6 months, BET UR VERON i'd have bought it on PC, but that's NOT the case.

Lastly I eh know if allyuh realize but allyuh hating on the console and i've been doing nothing but rating this game! I promoting it, if allyuh really like the game allyuh would promote it on whatever platform. Like Wyatt say, I hope it sell 10 million copy and a Crysis 3 comes, cause all I hearing is how I want to see it at its best, blah blah blah, but dat doh sell copies, replay and MP does. I think its fair to say seeing as this is a CONSOLE PORT, that I not alone in this thinking :p
