Crytek just lost its position and crown as an awesome PC developer to just the next treyarch
with this crysis installment not only they made their PC fan base mad but their new market (consoles) too with that broken demo they released to add insult to injury PS3 fan base too
now i dont know about you im not a crysis guy but i swear to god i could not play the crysis demo for even half an hour
downloaded it on my PC played it like 2 times and deleted it after that
thats how bad it was
and yah someone sends this Ahole that lens of truth link
another Crisis article to glorify the already existing Crisis articles that are over 500degrees within 24hrs alone!
Quick someone bookmark this, when the inevitable 2nd video game crash happens you can use this article as a reference detailing how it happened, among other reasons.
"Crytek just lost its position and crown as an awesome PC developer to just the next treyarch"
Why? Because the PS3 version isn't as good the PC version somehow isn't either? They are still top PC developers, the PS3 version just has been poorly ported by devs who've never worked on a PS3 until now
"downloaded it on my PC played it like 2 times and deleted it after that
thats how bad it was"
What was wrong with it on PC? You weren't playing the final game. I doubt that Crysis 2 is as bad as you make it out to be
@ alpha male i could not give a shit about the PS3 version but if you played the PC version you'll know why i said that
the demo is clearly a console port as soon as you start the demo BAAM
push the start button
good luck finding that on your keyboard aim assist is on by default and you just dont do that with PC shooters i mean there even should not be and aim assistance option in the game in the first place
the game was laggy as hell and you cant connect to servers if you did connect to a server you'll have to wait for ever for the lobby to fill and sometimes even if it was full the game simply wont start some times the lobby goes ape shit and reset the whole thing before the game starts so then you have to vote again for which map you want to play in
finally i got in to a game and what you know you get disconnected that demo was just pure shit
for some reason they let the has beens at free radical represent them. Dumb move, really hurt the sales. They are just completely delusional, they already showed this when they complained about crysis selling only 3 million copies.... 3 million copies is excellent for a single platform new ip that didnt have advertisements all over the place... but no they wanted halo 3 or cod4 sales, without the huge advertising budget.
The MP demo on PC? I thought you meant the whole game (I assumed you were playing the hacked version)
So in that case, yeah, the game's MP may not be that stable, but EA servers, what did you expect? :P
My issue on PS3 is pop in, framerate, etc. which I hear isn't as bad or visible on the 360 version, which then leads me to believe the PC version is even better.
Still, I'll wait for the final game, the game is really unpolished but I thought it was pretty fun, despite not doing much special.
The resolution on PS3 is barely lower than actual 720p 360 makes every game darker. Darker ≠ better graphics. It's not really a good visual attribute. While PC and PS3 are very similar in brightness and contrast levels.
They sound like they are pleased by mediocrity. PS3 exclusives show it's edge over the 360 in terms of visuals. That they want to make the two versions looks the same is NOT a good thing. Merely means they are NOT using the PS3 to its potential. I challenge them to live up to their arrogance in believing they create the pinnacle of visuals in games.
1.- The Retail only includes the Directx 9 version, Crysis 1 included the Directx9 and 10, this is a step back. 2.- The game look average on PC in someparts Crysis 1 look better 3.- We have to "Press Start" on the Pc demo, xbox360 port maybe?
For those of you (like me) who don't really trust Lens of Truth to do fair comparisons, here's a Youtube link of a comparison of the 360/PS3 and PC demos
Really, you are going to post a video that looks better then the actually demo everyone gets to play. My PS3 demo looks no where near that good, i didnt see any jaggies or muddy textures that is present in the demo. And why wasnt the guy moving around so we could see framerate?
I laughed after reading this title. I laughed even more after reading the title...does the sub-HD resolution of the PS3 version of 1024 x 720 as opposed to the 360 counterpart of 1280 x 720 (HD) make a good start??
The general definition of "HD" is a resolution of at least 1280 x 720 pixels. So the PS3 demo (running at 1024 x 720) is not HD because the horizontal resolution of 1024 is still lower than 1280 to qualify it as "HD".
Even if it had a resolution of 1280 x 680, it still wouldn't count as "HD". Might look like HD due to the aspect ratio, but the combined resolution of both the horizontal (1280) and vertical (680) is still lower than 1280 x 720. The same goes for the 360 version. So yeah, BOTH VERSIONS ARE SUB-HD.
Sorry to rain on your parade but the xbox360 version is sub-hd too, buddy. And this GIF shows clearly the xbox360 lacks details and actually is more blurry than the PS3 version.
Look Crytech maybe there are no differences maybe there are; I can't say because I have yet to play the demo, it would be asinine of me to anything right now. That said, if there are graphical differences that aren't doing the PS3 justice then just work on making your tech better for the PS3 (Make it more flexible). Apparently it's not flexible enough, however, thanks for calling out IGN.
As much as Crytek talks about their graphics and performance, those examples should be meaningful to him. It's a little late in the game to pretend that Crytek is all about the gameplay.
@hay yes the demo. So what if it's a demo. The game comes out next week you think will be a big graphical leap? The demo is not from an old build. This is latest build from new demo on 360/PC
True we really don't know if the demos represent the retail game. If they do though, lets just say maybe next time Crytek really shouldn't build us us with big talk.
Demos almost certainly do represent the final product. Betas are different however. BTW, I'm also pretty disappointed here especially after what Crytek said early on about being impressed with the PS3..oh well.
I cant stand to hear how people on here think the demo isnt the finished product.Are you on crack?Its a week away from release and you honestly think that it will look way better.Stop kidding yourselves.The demo was a dud=terrible.The graphics are sub hd which it really shows.The gameplay was so boring with most people going invisible and camping until you run by.Just sounds like a futuristic version of COD.I will keep playing Killzone3 while the rest of you idiots buy a broken game that looks like shit and empty as hell.Have fun with that one.Crytek=troll=EpicFail=Cryt ek
Engine Sucks on consoles.
The only things I found was the start of the 360 beta it had alot of problems and glitchs, the PS3 one has some online problems but that is pretty much it.
So I finally got it. Fast review from my honest opinion.
Bright sunlight is nice, gameplay is slow, feels like COD, shotty hit detection, the Skyline map is ok, the effects aren't impressive. The framerate was pretty smooth, it felt clear, but mostly do to good lighting and nothing more. Water effects had a delay until they rendered on the screen...lol. Grabbing on stuff is cool, which I am looking forward to in BRINK as well. So...Overall this is just COD on a 5-hour energy drink and I wasn't blown away at all. May rent for the SP, and definitely will be checking out some high rez modding via youtube.
EDIT:Oh I would of played a second match to double check my opinion but after it kicked me out and I tried for 15mins, I just deleted the demo and played a few rounds of warzone on KZ3.
The game comes out next week or so. I doubt all of a sudden the game the game will look WAAAY better than the POS I downloaded last night. I'm serious when I say it doesn't look much better than COD.
Keep dreaming there is no more stages.This is the final product.Its not a beta.The only thing that will blow is Crytek going under for such a shitty travisty with there hyped up boring game and engine.
OOOOOOO WOOOOOWW... and CRYTEK u thought u would just walts into the console space and become king like that on multiplats right .. ahahahhahaha what jokers..
the worst thing about it is that they bragged about it and only made themselves look silly coz everyone can see the ps3 version of the game is quite on such a low compared to the 360...
so u crtek guys get ur head out of ur ass and this is a big lesson, if u see console devs that manage to create great looking and performing games on both ps3 and 360 you should respect them coz they are playing in very limited space and make great identical results..
... Okay Crytek, So.. if "differences" are indeed found in both versions of the retail game, Are you going to fix the "problems/differences&quo t; with patches/updates so that both versions will *actually* look & perform the same..?
Or are you going to be like 2K Games with their Mafia II PS3 port & just release it & leave it with graphical & performance problems.. ?
Digital Foundry, Show Crytek whenever your ready plz..
Digital Foundry... .
I have no idea why DF is taking so long with the comparison??? Isn't this what they do???
They do look more alike then different BUT everybody knows the multi-plats are better on 360...this is getting old. PS3 guys are always crying...RDR, Mafia 2, Black ops...lol...just play and be happy already... ;D
Hurr Durr fanboy. Learn to read. He never stated that exlusives have worse graphics than multiplat games. Everyone fucking knows that Uncharted and GoW kicks shit through CoD and other multiplat games. However, 99% of games that come out usually run better on PC, not because the PS3 is a piece of shit, but because it is easier to code for the Xbox because it is similar to what they are use to. Just like Crysis would have been made for PC then a lower graphics version would have been ported to the Xbox which uses the same coding, and then ported to the PS3 which is completely different.
damn bro try not to fail as hard next time. Or better yet get on a college education level before you want to argue with people.
What mainly stuck out with me with what Cez said was
"just play and be happy already... ;D" to PS3 owners.
so in my response, I AM HAPPY because I got to play all the games I listed and some more I didn't. In other words I could care less about multiplats, even less so about the ones that are about 1%-5% inferior to the 360. I've gotten enough gaming on exclusives alone, including select multiplats (due to being a fan of certain franchises).
I mean how much more extra pathetic is your comment dude, not only you misinterpret but you try and assume what I meant.
Homefront might look better on PS3, I don't know because I haven't played it, but the rest of those games definitely didn't look better on the PS3. Batman AA and Mirror's Edge looked better on the 360 and BC2 looked the same on both consoles.
LMFAO These guys are a joke now. I half believed people that said Crysis 2 would look better than KZ3. I mean, look at Crysis 1?
I downloaded the big ass 1451 mb demo on the PS network and was disgusted. The game is not even top 5 best looking game I've seen. Even on consoles.
Melee is shit, people moving around at super speeds because of the nanosuit and can melee you 22x in like 2-3 seconds.
Hit detection is terrible, they had the audacity to show me killcams of someone shooting the air next to me and getting a head shot wtf?
Needless to say I deleted the demo after I got to level 10. They had good ideas, with all the armor abilities but the execution is really sub-par. They better make the best SP every or I doubt this game will do any better than Homefront.
WTF do they seriously want to damage there image when people point out big differences between the 2? I mean seriously they are saying this just to get people to buy the game without worry when in reality as it was confirmed by many sources they wrecked the PS3 version.
Never mind all this multiplayer sherbert .. a demo of the single player game would be nice.
Some of us are turning up for the story and spectacle, not just to run around a bloody rooftop, carpark or someone's back garden going "pew pew got you" :P
Why not just wait and see for yourself rather than take what is said from some freakishly ignorant pointless comments.A lot of people don't know either way - how could they - and so it might turn out good or bad
See the final retail game running and then judge before getting your knickers in a twist.If it's bad at that point then you lot can throw you a fit
Agree How about everyone with a brain wait until the retail builds come out We have no idea how old these demos are so how can anyone sit here and bash Crytek over some stupid fn demos.
Most polish and optimization occurs in the last 30 days before duplication. This phase is what Crytek just finished doing, so how the hell does anyone on here know? Well you don't.
You know, Crytek, there's some games where it's difficult to spot a difference, dead space, burnout, castlevania.
Your game programming skills are flawed, you only do PR talk with Nathan Camarillo and Cevat Yerli, you thought console games are all as broken as yours, with lame texture implementation, poor AA solution, etc, your game is a mediocre product cope with it and stop "challenging" gamers.
edit: disagree all you want, tried it, deleted it.The game's shit, as in The Phantom Menace kind of shit.It does not matter if you have a 5000~$ LED TV, the movie would still suck.
I'm sure if they did they would look identical. This fanboy crap is starting to drive me away from this site. All's it adds is confusion and second guessing. Man life was so much easier before N4G... LOL

And I'm not just talking about Crysis 2.

We'll see how the MP plays out in the final version.
Flipping threw Amor/Cloak/Nano vision while gunning is awesome and challenging much more so that just run and gun in any other game. Sweet!
Lower the screen rez to 720 and crank down the light levels in Cry2 and you should be good on the visuals.
MAXIMUM PRE-ORDER

This has nothing to do with this news feed on Crysis 2 but, how did you get that much bubbles?! :O
EA said it did better than expected because they were expecting less than 1 million to be sold in that time period
it didnt sell 3 million till 3-4 years later
The PC version is the worst. Why?
1.- The Retail only includes the Directx 9 version, Crysis 1 included the Directx9 and 10, this is a step back.
2.- The game look average on PC in someparts Crysis 1 look better
3.- We have to "Press Start" on the Pc demo, xbox360 port maybe?

I think Crytek are right. Stop making mountains out of mole hills people.
I don't think they even reached the graphical door...let alone the ceiling
Crytec just STFU it's too late to recover.
you loose your credit and respect.
Maybe low resolution texture or slower frame rate (pulling stuff from thin air) isn't meaningful to him.
but AVERAGE seems to suit them best at the moment
so, no more average then? it's either good or bad huh? bad Crytek, BAD! :D
@hay yes the demo. So what if it's a demo. The game comes out next week you think will be a big graphical leap? The demo is not from an old build. This is latest build from new demo on 360/PC

Kz3 is awesome :D I'll stick to that, skipping Crysis 2...
Hakis86 <--PSNID add if u want =)
I couldn't play Skate 3 on the 360 because of all the lag it had online, I bet now it runs great.
I doubt all of a sudden the game the game will look WAAAY better than the POS I downloaded last night. I'm serious when I say it doesn't look much better than COD.
Why are they saying this now BEFORE the game gets released?
If they are proven wrong, it just makes them look foolish even more.

As for graphical fidelity, Crysis 2 does not hold up. At all. So much for "best graphics on consoles."
*goes back to playing BFBC2/KZ3*
PS: Oh, and LOT just found a bunch of differences in the demos for C2 on both platforms. Good going, Crytek.
