It’s pretty obvious that Crysis 3 wasn”t intended for current generation consoles. Bringing the trilogy to a close on Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 may look and sound great, but it certainly doesn’t feel great. This is a PC game, through and through.
Playing it on Xbox 360 has definitely been a challenge. Frequent stuttering, loading screens that outstay their welcome, graphical issues, sound hiccups, complete crashes, achievements won’t unlock. Everything that could possibly go wrong has gone wrong.
Battlefield Bad Company 2, Dead Space 2, Crysis 3, and a handful other EA games have finally had their online services shut down.
I had no idea that Bad Company 2 was still running, and only now that I know, I want to jump on! 😥
BF1943 is the only online MP game that I was genuinely interested in. Been playing since launch 14 years ago. Hate that I couldn't put in as much time to play as I'd hoped for during the final week.
Dead Space 2...... I wasn't even aware that had multiplayer. Nevermind that it was apparently one of their best multiplayers!
Dead Space 2 multiplayer had been hanging on for years - I'd boot my PS3 up to see some familiar names in lobbies. This will definitely be missed!
Electronic Arts has released a new update for the PC version of Crysis 3 that removes its SecuROM protection system.
Bang4BuckPC Gamer tested Crysis 3, The Witcher 3, Horizon Zero Dawn and Final Fantasy XV, with all of them running with 30fps in 8K.
That headline is a tad misleading.
The rig stated in that YouTube video is extremely high-end (ryzen 3950x oc, 32gb etc) and utilizing special water-cooling solutions, loops with pumps etc.
This rig easily costs 5k+ and a normal pc with a RTX 3090 wouldn't get close to these framerates or sustainable temperatures.
Mega powerful video card but the games you can play on that card are all available elsewhere. I want to see compelling pc only goty material titles ASAP
DLSS 2.0 no doubt has a big part in this too, The Witcher 3, Horizon Zero Dawn and Death Stranding run like a dream on my 3080, 4k ultra set to 60fps no drops or stutters and the system runs very quiet. Playing Borderlands 3 on badass settings, Red Dead or Division 2 on 4k ultra all run great (Red Dead has a few drops below 60fps) but my PC is working a lot harder on games that don't utilise DLSS, my room warms up nicely when playing those games.
I hope they release a collection edition on next-gen
Kinda confuses me when people do reviews on patches :/ I can understand MMO patches, but a big patch such as this? Um...
It's a unique thing we're doing on Expansive.
I know it seems strange and a bit alien, but we're basically trying to continuously assess a game as developers patch it. If a game is poor at launch because of bugs and glitches, we want to still be looking at that game months down the line to see whether developers have got it right, and if it's actually worth people giving it a second look.
As long as you're connected to the net when the game is launched, you'd be playing an inherently different game to those who bought it at launch. That's the theory, and we want to do our best to inform about that.
crysis 1 and 2 weren't made for last gen consoles either....lol...but they did it anyway....they look NOTHING like the pc version, honestly a full gen or two behind
ps4 games won't look as good as crysis 3 on a proper pc
