Crysis 2 Screenshots Will Blow Your Mind (and GPU)

[p1n3apqlexpr3ss]

hopefully itll be better optimized this time round..

 

[randomizer]

It looks nice, but not realistic. Too much fancy post processing.

 

[buzznut]

People keep mentioning the requirements to run this game, I really wish the article or some one else would post those specs...

 

[hundredislandsboy]

Any word on the trailer?

 

[FullSpecs]

My GPU couldn't play the screen-shots...

I LOL'ed at this

 

[JohnnyLucky]

The screen shots did not blow my mind.

[citation][nom]welshmousepk[/nom]if the game genuinely looks like that, then i guess my console port worries are gone. i just hope it won't require a 4 GPU system to run it at maximum settings. hopefully crytek have learned from that mistake.as long as i can max it out with a 5870, im happy.[/citation]

Damn game developers expecting people to be rational.
Yes, they will limit the maximum quality of the game because idiots like you don't want games that scale.

 

[jjb_15]

this is definitely the console version, look at the low res textures

 

[jjb_15]

why do you think they show only screenshots?, most likely cuz the framerate is low or extremely unsteady

 

[mrtraver]

That sound you hear is integrated graphics chipsets crying and melting just displaying these pre-rendered screenshots.

 

[Shin-san]

I was thinking "Bullshot!" until I saw the full screen versions of the images. However, someone once said, screenshots don't do Crysis justice. I bet it'll look amazing once we see gameplay videos

 

[madass]

Why does this look like a mix of NFS Shift and the original Crysis? I don't see anything which the original already had...yes, even the shadows....

 

[bhagat666]

yipeeeeeeeee

 

[hundredislandsboy]

I want there to a bundle extreme edition that comes with the full suit or at least the helmet! Lol

"Crysis 2 Screenshots Will Blow Your Mind (and GPU)"

it warms my heart to finally hear that again.

 

[theroguex]

Did they sort of forget about the fact that the first game ended in a huge cliffhanger... on an island nowhere near New York City?

 

[Regulas]

It will not bring a sweat to my self built Lian Li, Q9650 and GTX 285 setup.

 

[mlopinto2k1]

What does he do if he has to take a crap???

"Maximum Clean"

 

[Someguyperson]

Did anyone notice the texture on the leaves? They look like actual leaves and not green things on trees.

The reason why they're porting this to consoles is to recuperate their losses on making such a powerful, complex engine that nobody else uses. Unlike the Unreal 3 engine.

 

[nikrusty]

beautiful...but honestly yawn!

It doesn't seem to look better than the original, but not worse either. In general I hope the graphics at the highest settings are the same as those in Crysis Warhead, but with AF this time and with more efficient use of system resources. If you can get playable framerates at the highest settings with AF and 4xAA at 1680x1050 on a HD5870 with a quadcore it'll be fine, otherwise the code is just as inefficient as in the original and that would suck.

Actually it might: Crysis Warhead sometimes makes my HD 5870 and i7 920 setup dip under 30fps at 1680x1050 with 4xAA, though only with DX10, with DX9 the game runs 5-10fps faster and the difference in graphics is hardly noticeable.

[citation][nom]soldier37[/nom]Hope its not a Port from dumbed down consoles. Hopefully fully DX11 ready and PC only special features. Listen up now Crytek dont screw this up like MW2 for PC! I will have to get a second 5870 this year to play this on ultra settings 1920 x 1200.[/citation]

It will be available on consoles as well. This is a well known fact. The console versions will be dumbed down, the PC one will not.

Crytek have stated this several times.

Crysis 2 (PC) > Crysis 1 (PC) = Crysis 2 (Consoles)

 

[rantoc]

Now this is what PC gaming should look like, over the top specs needed on release date wich means it will look good for years.

Not the poor budget consolized graphics that barely hold out even at releaseday...
