Crysis 2

Uhm.. hello? Heard of MW:LL?

Anyway, I enjoyed Crysis and Warhead for both their graphical quality and some basic shoot and kill FPS action. Plot was rather poor but the action was exciting in parts.

Not sure moving to an Urban environment is a great move. I loved the lush feel of the jungle environment and hated the ship parts you had to do.

I agree, I loved playing Crysis and Warhead as "The Predator," ambushing all those North Korean soldiers and vanishing into the jungle under a hail of gunfire.

It was like a vacation on that beautiful island, serene/calm one moment, and chaos/pandemonium the next. And in the game.
 
Isn't the new version of CryEngine console focused, meaning this game has a fair probability of not looking as good as the original?

I wonder if the move to NYC is really about not having to do lush outdoor environments on the consoles.
 
Fine and all, though the article is tied to the PlayStation magazine. We'll see if rumor of Crytek going console only are true...
 
All true, folks....

But we're fighting aliens in NYC in C2.

I think alien combat was the weakest part of both Crysis and Warhead.

i assume you mean mechwarrior: living legends, which has nothing to do with crysis 2?

even if we were talking about crysis 1, i'm not interested in a mech sim. so again, any other reason to play besides pretty graphics?

In an interview they said it was a bit more console friendly but that the PC is still the only place to go to get the most out of the graphics engine. Besides, consoles use a modified version of dx9 so by default they are incapable of using many of the the dx10.1+ features that the new CryEngine can do.

Agreed. Same can be said of Far Cry... stupid Trigens or whatever they were called.

I loved Crysis/Warhead though, so hopefully Crysis 2 doesn't disappoint.

I don't mind the city setting, but fighting aliens is no fun.

I wonder if we'll be able to bash our way inside buildings and what not or if they are going to limit what we can and can't do? It would be pretty sweet to have some RoboCop moments.

Your line of conversation was directed at Crysis 1 and your complaint that the only reason to play it was the graphics.

I provided you with the reason that MW:LL, a user made mod, was an extremely good reason for playing Crysis.

I also suggested that although the plot was not the best I have ever seen in a game, the action was quite fun and definitely worth my time and money.

Therefore I have already provided you with my reasoning.
 
Again CE3 is not "lesser" than CE2 in power and capacity. What it does offer is console rendering, so that whatever you make in CE3 is easily rendered down into a format that PS3 or XBOX360 can handle. Compresses textures, restricts intensive graphical subroutines. But they didn't take anything away from the core engine. Only refined it and added to it. Crytek does stand to generate more revenue by pushing the console side of things, but they are a for profit business and I don't fault them for opening up that channel.

But the bottom line is that anything Crytek makes (or a licensee) using CryEngine3 will be playable on the PC since that is the core development platform.
 
I'm looking forward to the game. I enjoyed Crysis and Warhead. Really feels like you're in an action movie and I like that. I don't mind the aliens and stuff either.
 
Cervat from Crytek talked about a concept called the Canyon, where the closer and image gets to reality, but is clearly generated, the more critical people get of the image.

Basically, like with WOW, nobody cares because it's obvious the graphics are cartoony. But if they started being more lifelike, people would start complaining it isn't lifelike enough.

I think that's why people are so critical of Crysis.

When it comes down to it, it's just a first person shooter that happens to have some pretty intense graphics.

I'm currently enjoying the hell out of crysis.

I personally f'n loved it. I love other games too. BIOSHOCK, Half Life2, WOW, etc.

But I completely enjoyed crysis and crysis warhead (and i love crysis wars), even though my rig only played them at low/medium settings.

Yeah me too, it felt like a chore against the aliens, despite the beautiful backdrop.

I really enjoyed the first part of the games, just against the Korean soldiers. The nanosuit and weapon customisations offer lots of different ways to do things.

I'm tired of MW2, I was trying to think of what to play this weekend, thanks for reminding me about Crysis, I must give it another go, it's been a while. As I recall Warhead has some great action too, I'm looking forward to this now.
