EDGE: "With great power comes great paralysis. This is our guilty secret when it comes to playing Crysis. The suite of options and approaches made possible by the Nanosuit aren’t empowering, they’re calcifying."
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! 😥
I was able to find games in the Vietnam dlc on ps3 the last week. There were articles on here about the server closure when it was announced in April
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.
I got really into 43 when I bought Bf3, and preferred it. Everything that I disliked or found annoying about Bf3, wasn't an issue in 43. Too bad they never bothered releasing it on PS4 or PC.
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.
Yep. Wait a couple of years and get this level of performance on a RTX 4070 or 4080 at a much lower price.
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.
There's still a difference between a high-end GPU+CPU and a custom-made water cooling system including a Waterloop&pumps etc though, it allows for much higher performance due to the better temperature management that would fry the GPU&CPU with normal builds.
That's why people need to read the articles, most headlines are just to get you to click.
Most of the threads of the 3950x were barely utilized and none of the games that were tested allocated more than ~12.5GB of system memory. Gaming at 8k is pretty much as GPU bound as you can get so you won't need a water cooled high-end CPU or 32GB of memory.
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
And where else can you run them in 8K or even in 4K with the same level of performance?
Who cares? Nobody has 8k screens and the majority don't even have 4k screens.
This push for pointless high resolution is ruining progress. Give us better framerates, lighting, physics, etc. Stop wasting power on needles 8k.
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.
Beta hits xbox live one week earlier than psn.
Cant say im bothered or been bothered by any Crysis game
great tech but generic space marine and aliens just dont do it for me anymore
will get dead Space 3 instead of this
Crysis 2 is one of the most pathetic displays of gaming that I have played this generation. I don't know why the guy above so excited that the beta for Crysis3 is coming out a week earlier on XBL than PSN.
Crysis 2 was a bland, medicore, and very unpolished shooter on the consoles. There were a ton of gameplay problems. The nanosuit doesn't work properly. Why is it that I die in 2 bullets while I'm in armor mode? What's the use of this anyways? Why is it that the physics are so broken to the point where every object you pick up in the game feels like a "cardboard box." Why is it that I can't "spartan-kick" a car into an enemy like they did in the trailer?
Because in reality, beyond the trailers, Crysis 2 was trash. And I'm positive this game will be too since they're mostly sticking to the same formula.
Also, there is almost no one playing C2 online. Thanks EA for making me waste 40 bucks.
Plenty of players on pc and that direct x 11 action is wow ive killed online with a car kick on 360 will be getting the new game for sure.
