Crysis 2 Benchmarks - Demo is up now.

[Sickamore]

i for one will be waiting on the final game.

 

[RussianSensation]

Have to admit it does look disappointing. Nothing like that to see in those shots :thumbsdown:

Esp. when you consider the timeframe.

Far Cry 1 (PC) - March 23, 2004
Crysis 1 (PC) - November 13, 2007 (~ 3 years 8 months)
Crysis 2 (PC) - March 22, 2011 (~ 3 years 5 months)

The leap from FC1 to Crysis was mind-blowing. I am guessing Crytek could have taken the game another 2-3 notches but PS3/Xbox360 wouldn't be able to run that version at all. :sneaky:

This game is now capable of running on 5 year old console hardware, you won't need much to run it smooth as glass.

DX11 remains to be seen though, perhaps that's where all the eye candy is hidden.

 

[Modular]

Am i the only one who can care less about DX9 benchmarks?

Probably. Care less then, since you can! :biggrin:

I got in on a good pre-order deal for Crysis 2 for I think ~$30 months ago, I don't feel disappointed. It does seem like the game is "consolized," which is a step in the wrong direction, but it could still be a great game. This is only a glimpse and it's too early to judge. Also, I want to see DX 11 benchmarks as well .

$30 ? Nice deal. I've been waiting for it to show up on Steam for pre-order and plan to buy it then.

Became available yesterday. Ouch to $60, ordering anyways.

Yeah, EA had some pricing errors when they first entered the game in the system last April. I ordered Crysis 2 and Dead Space 2 for ~$30 each - wasn't sure if I'd ever get them or just a "Sorry, here's your refund" email. However, I already got Dead Space 2 so I think this one might go through as well. Either way, I'll support Crytek :thumbsup:.

 

[Grooveriding]

Either way, I'll support Crytek :thumbsup:.

Even though the game might turn out to be a letdown, I still have faith they will up the bar from Crysis with DX11 and further effects not shown in this leak.

And I'll continue to buy their games as long as they continue to release for the PC and be the developer that above all others pushes the best visuals in PC gaming.

Even if the game is a turd, I'd like to support them if they will show what is possible on the PC when no one else will. :thumbsup:

This is rather baffling stance to take.

We should be supporting developers that put out good games regardless of the platform rather than developers who put out good-looking games on the PC.

I appreciate good games, but one of the benefits of the PC platform is that it is on the cutting edge of what is possible in gaming.

And there are a small handful of game developers who make full use of the resources that the PC has to offer gaming. I want games with good gameplay and amazing graphics. There are more developers putting out good games than there are putting out games with cutting edge technology.

I prefer to support both camps, and I've only seen a few developers that manage to do both; Crytek, 4A Games, GSC. I enjoyed Crysis and Far Cry, they looked amazing for their time and the gameplay was great.

It's four years later. Crysis is still the best looking game on the PC or any other platform, there is no reason for that to be the case... four.. years... later.

 

[LiuKangBakinPie]

Oh my gawd look at the Gtx 580 in DX 9 loooooooooooool Nice find OP

 

[Skurge]

I'll just wait to see what modders do with the engine.

I agree with your stance. Would you put id on either of your lists (A: company that pushes PC technology) (B: company pushes visuals and great gameplay)?

It seems like they are forgotten, and granted they havent had a meaninful release developed internally for about 7-8 years, but Carmack has really never let me down and Im excited for Rage/Doom 4. I know some people didn't like Doom 3 but there are many who thought Crysis gameplay sucked as well (I liked it and Doom 3 as well) Epic has totally abandoned high end PC development with their UE3 console whoreout fest, and even though id has to take console seriously now too, I think Rage will be amazing visually. Not to mention some Open GL action! thoughts?

I thought Doom 3 was awesome, looking at the time and gameplay. I bought a 6800GT for Doom 3 and HL2.

Looking at Rage, I have a feeling it will fall in into your column B, but that is only going on the early screenshots and gameplay and the fact it is coming out for console as well.

I think Far Cry 2 could fall into A. The game looked great to me, but I did not enjoy the gameplay at all :thumbsdown: Didn't buy that one though, I got it free with a GTX 260 I think.

I completely agree on Far Cry 2. I loved one and purchased two, and while it was pretty, I could never sit down with it for more than 20 minutes. Its collecting dust somewhere in my office.

I am curious if whatever the current version of OpenGL supports all of the same type of features as DX11 (tess etc)

It will be interesting to see how new GPU's coming this fall look for Open GL. If Im not mistaken AMD performs much better on OpenGL games right now than Fermi (oposite of Doom 3 time when Nv really rocked with the 6800 series) But maybe with AMD's news VILW4 arch that won't carry over? Will be interesting.

Another game ruined by catering to garbage consoles.

What a shame.

Great numbers, but it looks like the game has been completely consolized. It's just a shell of what the original Crysis was as far as graphics quality. They seem to use the same tricks a lot of other console -> PC ports use to boost graphics quality, but it's still night and day compared with the original:

and you are using that horrible looking pic as an example? sorry but the original Crysis is not as good looking as some of claim it is. I just fired it up a few minutes ago and honestly even on all very high DX10 it is just not that impressive looking any more. plus the shots of Crysis 2 do not even have all the graphics options that will be in the final game.

 

[happy medium]

They compare the max overclock they can get on a 560 versus the stock 6970, 6950 & 580

It looks like they underclocked the gtx560?

The only game that has come close is Metro 2033, and its overall graphical quality still falls short. If you want to post something you feel looks better, go right ahead.
