Crysis 2

For the first time ever, Crytek is making Crysis multiplatform on 360,PS3, and PC but not the first one or the other called Warhead, just the sequel which looks awesome.

For the first time ever, a sequel may have inferior graphics to the predecessor.

Probably not on the PC, maybe consoles.

You mean reasonable PCs may actually be able to run it now!

Now now, you know that wouldn't be the first time that's happened.

But yeah. Crysis will have to be cut down significantly to work on consoles.

Reasonable computers can play the original and sequel now.

Oh I understand, I wasn't very clear...reasonable pc's will be able to run it at high end now?

Yep.

You don't need a crazy high end computer.

Crysis Warhead is better optimized than the original and you can play it at high on $1000 dollar computer.

Crysis 2 in New York

The game doesnt look inferior to the first running on the ps3 plain to see from the vids, taking swipes at console gamers is for kids btw.

But we all know that console gaming is inferior.

On a more serious note, Crysis 2 looks pretty damn good. They probably reworked and optimized the engine by a fair bit. We'll see how it turns out on the consoles, but the PC version will certainly be the best looking one.

EDIT: Oh yeah, I almost forgot to mention: the fact that Crysis 2 is coming out on the 360(while looking just as good), is a kick to the crotch to the notion of supposed significant superior hardware capabilities of the PS3.

The multiplayer demo for this is out. Anyone played it?

Really, that sounds coo, but perhaps you could tell us where to download it? 🙂

I would play it if it weren't Xbox exclusive. Not even that will make me buy a console. However I have pre-ordered the limited edition. ^^

No problem 😛

I played it and so far its the best looking game I Have played on the 360. It was fun to boot though it had the cod influence.

Yeah... I dunno. It looks good but you can tell it's taxing the 260, lol. It takes a minute for the textures to load.

Also, am I the only one who feels that the controls are kind of... blocky, I guess?

No, I agree, Blax. The controls are a little stiff, I guess you could say. This seems to be a common problem with multiplatform shooters.

That said, the graphics are pretty damn nice for a 360 game. Still, this is one I'm going to be getting on the PC.

Same here. Of course, I'll have to play it on the lowest possible settings until I get a new CPU and more ram... but I think it'll still be smoother than on the 360.

I've gave it a few rounds.. I really like the speed and pacing.. and how fast you can die if you're not careful.. they are using perks sortof as well.. (i.e. one of them allows you to enter stealth faster than normal) and there are killstreak rewards.. I think my personal beef is that the pistol seems really bad.. or maybe everyone is just using "maximum armor" -_-.. which they prolly are with my luck

I'd definitely recommend to try the demo

[this was the 360 demo I tried mind you.. I'd def take a crack at a pc demo of this @_@]
