Agreed!Best looking thing on anything right now.Dunno if BF3 will surpass it.Maybe it will,but I doubt it will run better.This game has all the bells and whistles that you can think of and it still runs mighty fine.

That's because it hasn't got much going on under the hood.

evrfighter4684d ago (Edited 4684d ago )

too bad it has zero replayability value. yes I downloaded the dx11 hi res pack when it launched.

I played a whole 15 mins before it got meh

Voxelman4684d ago

BF3 has the advantage of being built from the ground up for DX10/11 rather than DX9 with 11 effects tacked on. BF3 also looks to feature a greater scale and draw distance.

xtremegamerage4684d ago

Crytek the horse has already bolted.

consolez_FTW4684d ago

Might be a "Graphical Game-Changer" till about October. Also Crysis2 had some AI glitches...so not so much Game-Changing

camargo20124684d ago

LOL u are retarded if u think battlefield graphics will be better!

Solid_Malone4684d ago

ah dude, DICE has the upperhand here, they got a good few months till the game goes gold, who knows what the final build of BF3 will look like.

camargo20124684d ago

@M4I0N3

crytek uses one of the worlds most expensive renderings ever made there is not way BF3 will be better have you noticed that most of the images shown from BF3 have way too much depth of field and bloom in order to hide the low resolution textures?

and the animations are not good looking either.

caboose324684d ago

@camargo2012

What are you talking about?!?!?
The animations shown in BF3 are by far the best I have seen in a game.

CaptCalvin4684d ago

LOL complaining about bloom and blur rape and low res textures when comparing BF3 to C2...

The exclusion of DX11 out of the PC version sent bad signals to the Hardcore PC community who lives and breaths Crysis and just gave a no reason to buy the game anymore. The story felt unattached to the original and the gameplay choices severely limited. It was still still a great game but only now has the PC version been properly released.

Gran Touring4684d ago

Well, we should be happy that we got the update, and the graphics improvements do deliver.

I know how you feel, it's hard to look at Crysis 2 as being a good game without comparing it to the first.

Sidewinder-4684d ago (Edited 4684d ago )

In all honesty it's too late for me to even care.

A graphic update is not gonna make me wanna go back to play a relatively poor game (most def inferior to the first).

Going through crysis 2 looking for real reference to crysis 1 was like pissing in the wind.
Nomad? Psycho? Why do the Aliens of C2 go about using shittier technology to those of C1? NOTHING IS EXPLAINED!

C1 was a futuristic military romp, weras C2 is a superhero story.

The gameplay was inferior to C1, and the multiplayer was uninspired (which i find hurtful the most as i thought better of Cryteck UK)

CaptCalvin4684d ago

Because aliens that flew around would be too much for the vertical sensitivity on a gamepad LOL.

RedDead20674684d ago

Consoles can use auto/assist aim where the computer plays the game for you.

Crytek Gives Brief Update on New Crysis Game; Studio Has a "Great Team" Working on It

Crytek gives an update on their new Crysis game, confirming that it's still in development, with more to share down the road.

DefenderOfDoom2143d ago

Actually would love a new Crysis campaign.

P_Bomb143d ago

Ditto. Ran through them again last year. I’ll grab the new one.

Crazyglues143d ago (Edited 143d ago )

Yeah they really messed up by not adding the Multi-player to the Crysis Triogly because while the campaign was fun I really loved the Multi-player and couldn't wait to see what it was going to be like on current gen.

They could have dropped new maps and DLC and fans would have bought it up... -But they dropped the ball and did just the Campaign's with no new content or story, which was just crazy.

Anyway still hoping Crysis 4 is the whole Chicken Sandwhich with all the toppings.... Can't wait.

PrinceOfAnger143d ago (Edited 143d ago )

Yeah It will probably be 5 years development

SimpleSlave142d ago (Edited 142d ago )

That's awesome. So how long till the studio closes and everyone gets fired?

purple101142d ago

Series S owners: "but can it run crysis doh?"

Crytek Sends Cease and Desist To A Popular Photo Mode Modder Frans Bouma

Immersed Gamer writes: "Frans Bouma just received a Cease and Desist letter from Crytek, developers of Crysis. Did he pirate their game? Or maybe he infringed on their copyright? What horrible thing did Bouma do to deserve this? Well, he modded in a photo mode so that people could take beautiful pictures and share them on social media."

Open source the code and dump it on the internet.

mastershredder832d ago

"from his Patreon page" Uhhhh yeah.......Oh gee and I wonder why that was problem? You know where this goes there Filip or perhaps you are just not quite yet.

Mazgamer832d ago (Edited 832d ago )

It's astounding how quickly someone uniformed will take a side of soulless company just because a modder might be making some pocket change.

For your information: He puts all of his camera mode mods on GitHub, completely free of charge. His Patreon is nothing more than a way to tip him some cash for his work.

He says so himself on his GitHub page:
I do this for fun, not profit, but can't create cameras for games I don't own. I've therefore setup a Patreon page which allows you to safely support my work".

Are you following "mastershredder", or are you not quite there yet?

Giblet_Head832d ago

I did some digging and from what I can see it's probably the "early access" releases of his mods only through Patreon that may have stirred Crytek to send the C&D. Apart from that his mods are indeed available free of charge through his GitHub page.

CobraKai832d ago

It’s a non-profit mod tho. It confuses me cuz modders can do things like completely overhaul the art assets of a game or add licensed cars, but adding a photo mode seems to get the cease.

Orchard832d ago

I guess they want to be the next T2/Rockstar...

Fishy Fingers832d ago

Rarely do you see something with so much potential (Crytek) shoot themselves in the foot so many times.

BlackIceJoe832d ago

Instead of sending a C&D Crytek should thank him, for this, because this will lead to more people buying and playing the game.
