Everybody Plays: Crysis 2 certainly gets off with a bang. With mood lighting illuminating the bowels of a submarine, the game begins with a troop of marines being briefed on what may lay ahead. Something’s going on on the surface, and as part of their ranks, it’s up to you to sort it out. No one really knows what’s wrong – there seems to be some sort of disagreement even between the troops - and you’re even more clueless than they are. Suddenly, there’s an explosion (as is always the way) and the sub starts sinking. You need to escape.
Featuring the complete nanosuit experience, The Crysis Trilogy has now joined the EA Access vault as a title that's free for those that subscribe to the EA service on Xbox One consoles.
YouTube’s members ‘Digital Dreams’ and ‘Jose cangrejo’ have shared some videos, showcasing Pascal Gilcher’s Reshade mod – which adds Ray Tracing/Path Tracing effects – in some really old games such as Star Wars The Force Unleashed, Crysis 2, RAGE and Resident Evil 6.
I'm still learning how to look for the differences. At first I was focusing on shadows for some reason but I don't think that changes much, is it reflections that change?
It supposed to add more realistic light Not actually more light effects and explosions
I hate to say it but I’m fine with fake lights, shadows, reflections. I just kind of like the effect, it’s also great it saves resources for other things.
I’ve been checking out some original Xbox games on x360/x1x and the engine has fake light streaming in through a stained glass window, and I love it even though I know it’s not real time lighting. Heck it even shifts as I move about.
I’ve about convinced my self rt and hdr just doesn’t work for me. Before hdr I would even complain damn why are the headlights killing me they are so bright.
I notice most frame rate, then jaggies, then resolution; with the last two interchangeable depending.
Other day watched an enthusiast rave over 4k and the poor guy was in 1080p. I played the same game the night before and thought wow this is clean, I wonder if it’s 4k, but knew differently and I thought wow even resolution is not always important. The next day he apologized and was surprised he could be fooled.
How come the lightsabers don't give off any light? Even in the EA star wars game the guy uses it to light up a dark cave. I guess if it is using frostbite it will support rtx cards.

i thought it was a great game but the characters felt kinda stiff.
no way is this game a 6/10
This is not a 6/10 game...
It's easily an 8/10 if not higher.
He keeps complaining (again and again) that you're no superman, yet I found one of the main faults with the game was that its too easy. Between stealth and armour you can turn on at will I felt like the game was in God Mode.
The only real challenge came from the ridiculous checkpoint spacings.
PS
6 is way too low, the game is a high 8 or low 9 in my book, but still, I'm glad he's acknowledging its not perfect. I think this game has been a bit overrated in the press. Still very good though.
My favourite bit, dismount a .50cal and sneaking around with it, only to blast someone in the face pointblank.
The SP for me is a 8.5/10 until the grain glitch kicks in and then I'm just too obsessed with how bad the game looks to enjoy it so it becomes a 5/10.
The MP ranges depending on lag from 8.5/10 to 5/10.
So, currently I'd give the game a 5/10 with the potential of being 8.5/10 but seeing how slow Crytek is to fix it, I'll probably just trade it in for one of the many more exciting games that are coming out soon.
