OPM: Speaking to Crysis 3 producer Michael Read we recently asked about the game’s player freedom, specifically given the move over the series’ history from island to city, to city in a bubble. He told us that the third installment strikes “a solid middle ground” between the two previous chapters.
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 so crisis 2 was a disappointment it was so small and linear
I enjoyed Crysis 2, but I do agree, the free roaming in Crysis 1 (mostly free roam anyway) made it so much more fun than #2
Given how poor the story was in Crysis 2 , even compared to the already poor one from Crysis 1 ... there shouldnt even be a need for a middle ground .
It's not as if C2 brought anything good to the franchise , it just removed stuff
Please let us mess around in crysis 3, i mean seriously in crysis 1 you could chop down a tree, use its branches to sneak up on a badguy and beat him to death with a turtle. In crysis 2 what could u pick up? Well anything, as long as its painted red and says explosive on it.
I think some of the compromises in Crysis 2 may have been a function of underestimating what they had to do for their first big multiplatform release. They were using their new multiplatform engine, CryEngine3 (which is admittedly pretty awesome), it was delayed, and then we got the weird post-release business with DX11 and high resolution textures. It seemed very rushed to me. I expect them to get their design and technical issues sorted to a much greater degree by release time in Crysis 3. In addition, they are adding Toad Tech. How can they go wrong when they have Toad Tech?
