Crysis 2 First Gameplay Footage From GTTV

The power of the Crytek Engine finally reaches the consoles with Crysis 2 and we've got exclusive footage of the game in action!

First Gameplay Footage And Details From Crysis 2

[jack_burt0n]

Looks good, interesting to know how its going to be structured be interesting to see how much freedom you can really have in a cityscape. Shame it wasn't vsyncd tho, pretty sure that was console footage.

[Chris_TC]

It was also riddled with aliasing, yuck.

[sutton32]

yeah, i dno if it was me but there was shit loads of zcreen tearing

[bnaked]

It's all 360 footage according to Crytek..

[eggbert]

there are variations in graphics quality throughout the railer. I'm pretty sure they would aim for consistency when working on the graphics of a system.

[orange-skittle]

And how the f*ck do you know that? You were right there when they taped the show weren't you? Sit down somewhere and STFU you troll. Someone always has to console bash where it's not warranted.

The crappy graphic jungle gameplay they showed was Crysis, not Crysis 2. Crysis 2 is set in New York. Not only that, the developer said a long time ago that the PS3 gave them more wiggle room than the 360 and that consoles were inferior to their game. So, why would they display their beloved gem to the world on the "WEAKER" system? Does that make any sense? Not that I am saying it is, I am simply quoting what the developer said since he said the PS3 gave them a better medium to bring it closer to PC standards

[heroprotagonist]

Hot damn! That looked awesome. Best graphics I have seen on consoles to date. I don't know though, Rage or Brink might surpass it. Who knows.

What I do know is that aside from the new Crysis 2 footage, Vanquish totally surprised me. It looks almost as good as Crysis 2 and pretty much better than most other shooters out there. It also looks insane and fresh in terms of gameplay.

[sourav93]

Well the graphics are really pretty but there are other contenders on consoles which may be on par or even surpass crysis 2, relating to the crysis 2 footage shown on gttv. Few examples are Uncharted 2, Gears of War 2, Heavy Rain, and Killzone 2. Crytek might as well improve the grahics aspect of the game if they want but I just can't wait to use the nanosuit! Its not always about graphics, but if this is the topic of discussion, crysis 2 has impressed, but not at a level at which games like Uncharted 2, Killzone 2, or Gears of war 2, which actually showed a significant jump in quality from previous games. I am not saying that crysis 2 hasn't got good graphics, they are indeed phenomenal, but its not as good as people were expecting, or at least as I was expecting. Nevertheless, its going to be a first day buy for me. Cheers

[MegaPowa]

don't try to tear down his opinion of the graphics

[finbars75]

Crysis2 does not look as good as they have been saying it does.I thought it was just mediocre and looked like any other game.Nothing stood out about this at all.Im sure on the PC it will look sick but on the console no way.Killzone 2 looked way better then that and I can only imagine what killzone 3 will look like.I do agree that vanquish doesnt look to shabby at all.But all in all the only people who will think crysis2 has the best graphics are the xbox fanboys because they havnt seen anything good in years that have good graphics period which is to bad.I think I will stick with killzone3 and Brink.Double toasted go back to your wii you retard.

[NYPunk88]

@Pistolero

This dude sad that Alan Wake had better graphics than Heavy Rain.....bwahahahahaha.....lay off the crack son.

[Keltik82]

?

[gtamike]

Heavy Rain graphics are god like

[Arnon]

Yeah, no. Crysis 2 DOES look superb. I can honestly say it does look better than a game like Killzone 2. Not to mention the environments are going to be what, 3x the size? And to top it all off, this was the 360 version, so yes, I feel that Crysis 2 is a better looking game.

[thewhoopimen]

I was surprised that particles still don't bounce in Crysis 2. When they showed footage of destroying the environment.... once again particles and debris just fall straight into the floor without any bounce physics. Haven't the Crysis developers already seen what Killzone 2 did with all the shells and bullet ricochets and explosion particles?

The splintering of the wood and stone looks great and there's definitely alot of particles in the air during firefights... but they all just fall into ground...

[GVON]

I think it looks decent,but the sacrifices are obvious.

The main reason I think they went inner city was to accommodate the consoles,you dont really need to see that far away,but i'm surprised by how much fogging there is in the footage.

A city getting torn up is a good cover but it's got that nostalgic N64 feel in how they handle view distance.Not saying it's a Turok 2 pea soup levels,but it's a bit jarring since it's not really used on consoles anymore.

It's a good design choice,you'll get impressve looking blocks,but beyond that it'll probably look a bit off.

Game looks fun though.

[MNicholas]

It's not even at the level of Uncharted 1.

It was also had no actual jump in graphics from Gears 1. It was all hype.

Gamespot did a nice screenshot comparison of Gears 1 and Gears 2 of the same locations and there were actually a number of downgrades!

[gamer2010]

I don't know what crack pipe you have been smoking but Gears 2 definitely looks better than Uncharted 1. I have compared them both on my own hdtv and I came away convinced that Gears 2 was the better looking game overall.

[bill02138]

@Gamer2010

Are you a fanboy or maybe you're playing at 480P? Uncharted blows away Gears. It doesn't even look like the same generation.

http://kineticninja.blogspo...

Gears 1 vs Gears 2 video shows how Gears 1 had much more next-gen features like bump maps and specular maps. Gears 1 also had much more environment detail. Pause at 40 seconds to see the massive downgrades side by side.

http://gamevideos.1up.com/v...

Gears 1 had more shader effects, more detailed buildings, more detailed cars, and more draw-distance. In the interior comparison, you can see how much more detail is in Gears 1. Even the furniture is more detailed. The couch and dresser are curved in Gears 1 (more polygons) but square in Gears 2 (polygon downgrade).

[ProjectVulcan]

Parts of the gameplay spookily echoed the look of the FEAR 2 engine on the consoles, Certainly some of the enemy body armour, and some of the areas.

Its definitely the console version, just by comparison to the footage of the first crysis shown before. Dont get me wrong the graphics were good, but not mind blowing. The city just seems too plain to me. In the first crysis the setting added to the astonishment, knowing as i do how much more difficult it is to render organic environments well. There seems like an awful lot of identikit pavement textures and walls and the aforementioned FEAR esque environments, empty coffee bars etc. The lack of ultra quality motion blur i became accustomed too with the original- this really serves to change the look of the game to me. You can also see the polygon count is trimmed massively, not least of all hugely down to the city environment. Straight edges = easy to render. On the highest settings the GPU test on the first pushed 3 million polygons for several frames, which is mind boggling when you hear uncharted 2 pushes about 1 million, should give you an idea of the disparity having to be designed around for console. There isnt a great deal of any complex structures, which catch the eye. Its still relatively early though, there are a few months of dev time left.

The high points visually are without a doubt a lot of the lighting effects have been crammed in, the physics and most impressively for me, the smoke effects. Basic particle effects (explosions etc with a just two dozen or so sparks) arent very good, but the engine is already under load coping with the other physics tasks. Of course there are compromises but it seems they have struck a decent balance.

I still have a real fear that this game has been tailored so heavily to work on the consoles its at the expense of what PC can do. Nothing i have seen today allays that, some increases my worry. But we'll see soon enough, wont we?

[iamgoatman]

"Shame it wasn't vsyncd tho"

The only tearing I noticed was when the character was being dragged to the helicopter, and I think the tearing was actually part of the effects.

Same thing happened in the first game when you were near an alien, screen would flicker and go a shade of blue. I think it's supposed to show your nano suit is on the fritz.

[ProjectVulcan]

Nah, it definitely has no vsync in this build. The original crysis when it is shown here also does not have vsync enabled, so dont read into it too much. Doesnt mean the final version wont have it, crytek have already targeted the performance of '30 frames and nothing below that', according to Cervat Yerli. If it means locked and vsynced, then console owners should be happy enough.

It will be a surprise if a game where the developers constantly willy wave their graphical achievements on console do not have texture filtering, or anti aliasing, but especially v sync. Most of the other games held up as console graphical powerhouses manage two of these. The best manage all three....

[MNicholas]

throughout the videos but I wouldn't read too much into it. This is likely just a result of the game being unfinished.

[Hideo_Kojima]

I have been gaming for 10 years now but I never spot vsync issues... or screen tearing it was only recently that I googled to find out what they are but I still can't spot them in games.

Isn't it like when 1 frame is split in half how are you suppose to spot that?

[ProjectVulcan]

Its not too difficult to understand. Simply put, the individual frames being delivered to the screen do not match the exact refresh rate, or timing, of the display itself, which is set.

So what happens is that the new frame half overwrites the previous frame, instead of updating perfectly synchronised and replacing the whole image at once. Of course if you happen to have moved the image sideways, as in looking left or right for example on a first person shooter, then the new frame is slightly shifted relative to the image in the previous frame. Where the two frames intersect you see the new frame on top and the old on the bottom, with mismatched image alignment. The frame is thus 'torn'. The intersect point is of course all down to how far off the timing is on the frame refresh.

What vsync does is make the output (the console, Pc whatever is rendering the image) WAIT until the display is ready to accept a full, complete new frame.

This is best employed with a technique called triple buffering, which effectively means you can always have a spare frame waiting in time to refresh. Problem is, this uses more a lot more framebuffer memory. Console memory is at a premium. So a lot of console games are double buffered with vsync which can really damage performance waiting for the next frame refresh, there isnt a frame on hand in time to replace the current 'front' (on screen) buffer. Forces the output to wait further until the next display refresh, slowing the overall framerate of the engine. Thus when the going gets really tough for the engine and the framerate starts to dip under load, many engines release the vsync to shore up performance, resulting in tearing....

[TrailerParkSupervisr]

That looked pretty sick to me! Very crisp and whatnot and as for the tearing, they did it in the first one. It's your nanosuit going on the fritz. Also, I noticed a lot of destructible enviornments. People who ahve not played the first one don't realize how awesome the physics are, too. This clip did not do a lot of justice. I think this will be an epic game.

[GVON]

yeah that sliding umbrella showed how good the physics are :) joking aside I know what you mean.

[tinybigman]

i'll have to see more for it to raise my interest in it.

[ForROME]

Fools, this game looks great, it easy to point out flaws, its harder to do it yourself, not to mention that fact that not many games are even in its circle, get off it

[MNicholas]

but doesn't have that "wow" factor. Technically speaking, some of the surfaces are nicely shaded while most others look a bit flat. Many environment textures (walls, ducts, etc.) are below par as well although ground textures are pretty good. The environment destruction doesn't blow the mind either with some physics bugs (such as spinning bushes, collision problems, unlimp dead people) that will surely be fixed by release. Jaggies are plentiful, which is a bid disappointing. However, the car and alien enemy models (the tall ones with the tendrils) are simply gorgeous. The smoke looks good as well.

Frankly, Vanquish, by far, looked like the most interesting and innovative of the games shown in the video.

[muDD]

Kz2 does not look better than that... i have the game and all I see is 3 colors, no texures, and a ton of blur... Dont get me wrong, kz2 looks good, but u fanbois are OVERRATING this game... PERIOD!!!

[nycredude]

Dude and all I saw in this vid is 2 colors blue and grey. WHat is your point. Killzone2 doesn't tear and DOES look better cause I say so and everyone else in the world is wrong! /s

Retards calling other fanboys yet is one himself. N4g at it's best.

[BattleAxe]

At the end of the day, if Crysis 2 is good then I'll buy it. I didn't mind Crysis and Crysis Warhead on PC, but I hated Crysis Wars(online).

[Hallmark Moment]

Amazing PS3 fans won't and will never admit that games like Rage, and crysis 2, Brink, Alan Wake have not surpassed PS3 exclusives of the past. It has nothing to do with a versus match. New engines and more experience will always produce better games. The real reason fanboys are having a fit is because the myth of the 360 being mazed out is starting to be exposed as a lie. I've have not seen anything that matches this ever! at least in the genre.

"FangBlade" is downplaying this game and praising Vanquish because the devs said PS3 was the lead for Vanquish and he knows the Crysis 2 devs have been showcasing Crysis 2 on the 360.

[CWMR]

That's the way it's always been, man. The PS3 fanboys took Sony's word as the gospel truth, not realizing that Sony has used this tactic in the past. They always claim performance for their consoles that is not even close to the reality of what the consoles can actually do in the real world. They did it with the PS2 as well, but their lies never took hold because it was just too blatantly obvious that the Xbox was much, much more powerful than the PS2.

I have both consoles and I just laugh at the people that Sony has reeled in with their marketing talk. They ignore the fact that over 90% of multiplatform games look better on the 360. And no, it's not because the 360 is lead platform. It has been years and developers have had plenty of time to learn the PS3 and yet when a game is developed for both platforms simultaeously it still almost always looks and performs better on the 360. You can point to whatever PS3 exclusive you want, but that proves nothing because their is no direct equivalent to compare it to on the 360.

It's ridiculous. I mean, I have even heard certain fanboys claim games like Ratchet & Clank are graphically unrivaled by any 360 game, which is an utter joke because there are literally dozens of games that look as good or better on the 360.
I just can't understand how some people can get so disconnected from reality.

And you are right, Alan Wake does look amazing. I have been playing it and it looks as good as any game on any console. In many ways it does things that I have never seen done as well in other games. Oh the resolution? If you can't notice it, who cares. MGS4 is sub hd and that didnt stop some people from thinking it was one of the best looking games around.

Resolution is only a very small part of graphics and it also depends on how good the upscaling is. Some sub hd games don't upscale well and some you can't even tell they are sub hd. That's the simple truth.

[MORGiON]

@hallmark

your statment proves that graphically you have NFI!

[Nihilism]

Wow, fanboys are in serious denial, it looks better than KZ2 by far, screen tear can easily be eliminated, if that was on console than I am impressed, it looks waaaaaay better than I thought it would, it actual has draw distances more than 10 metres ( you know where everything isn't hidden by pseudo-depth of field for "artistic sake" )

Animations are mind blowing too, better than the first crysis and again...better than killzone 2, just watch the part where that guy gets blown away by the machine gun...bam!
This easily looks like crysis on high, and I think the graphical style is even better, can't wait to see how it runs on PC

[BattleAxe]

How would you know, You don`t own a PS3.

[grailly]

Even though the graphics are good, they didn't show anything fun, new or original. Not hyped yet

[callahan09]

I totally agree. The game that this looked most similar to, actually, was The Conduit. The level design, enemy design, and gameplay in general just really reminded me of The Conduit, which was a beautiful game on Wii, but the gameplay itself was just mediocre at best. I wasn't a big fan of the original Crysis, either. It just wasn't particularly fun. It started out fun, playing with the nano suit's unique abilities, but it just started to feel really repetitive and bland after a while. I don't think Crysis 2 will be anything special. The graphics weren't that great either. I've seen plenty of better looking games, and there seemed to be some significant screen tearing issues there too.

[Aphe]

No the gameplay in Crysis was excellent, there was so many ways you could go through it. It was far more exciting to play than another FPS that gets mentioned in every Crysis article anyway.

[callahan09]

You really didn't start to get bored of it? I got bored of it after a few hours and never ended up beating the game. Sometimes I'd have fun going back to the early parts of the game when you first start to get the rocket launcher and there's buildings around and just blow them pieces to witness the awesome destruction engine, but the plot was boring and the objectives that you were *supposed* to do to progress through the game weren't fun for me. I moved on to other games rapidly.

And you didn't get a Conduit vibe from this gameplay footage? The enemies and the layout of the levels reminded me so much of The Conduit. I know The Conduit was in DC and this is in New York, but it just looked so similar to me.

[Aphe]

No i didn't, I loved every minute of it. I've played through it several times and still enjoy it. Depends how inventive and imaginative you are I suppose, it's like a huge playground. So many things to do.

Hiding in a bush then going invisible, grabbing some guy and throwing him high up in the air then going invisible to another bush before anyones the wiser never gets old. Or just smashing the hell out of the distructable buildings and killing everyone in sight.

There's loads of ways to play it, and it's huge. Can't wait for the sequel tbh.

[beavis4play]

YOUR pc crowd are there talking about crysis and how superior it is.
that stuff goes both ways; so, stop acting like pc fans don't spam console articles with pc nonsense.

[Pistolero]

I agree the gameplay might not be that great....we will just have to wait and see about that...but you can't tell me the graphics were not totally amazing.....what are these better looking games you are talking about?

[MegaPowa]

being able to play in many different ways is not fun to you!? >:o the suit customization is pretty cool to me

[grailly]

might be fun, but they didn't show it. What we saw was very basic FPS gameplay showcasing parts of the nanosuit abilities

[Colonel-Killzone]

The graphics looks nice and polished. Nothing special though in terms of gameplay. But its only 1 gameplay trailer so I will wait to see some more in the future to make my final decision.

[madkrazygames]

Yea Crysis 2 looks real sharp, but Vanquish looks like you're playing an anime. I can't wait for this title.

Edit:

Also what is Sam Fisher doing in Red Faction? Did his contract expire for the Splinter Cell series?

[RememberThe357]

It looks great, not mind blowing. Maybe if we see more we can judge it better. Besides it looks pretty damn fun, so I don't see any problem.

[IrishAssa]

Well it wouldn't be so bad if the Dev's didn't say they blew the competition away. They don't, they look good but they don't blow anything away from the looks of this.

[Death2494]

Killzone2 and for you people who are talking about it probably don't even own it. Killzone 2 will be near 2 years old when this game launches, I'd be proud of myself is people are comparing my game to some new FPS's out there. With all that aside, Crysis2 looks gorgeous for a game running at 60fps. Another thing i thought about was that you could put mods made for pc, on the ps3 (Unreal Tournament 3).

[raztad]

Crysis 2 will be running at 30fps. kinda concerned about tearing. There is lot of tearing in that footage. I hope Crytek release some HD footage.

[flash240]

You compare every game that isnt killzone to being polished.You have no valid points at all, nobodys talking about killzone being polished up but yet you assume this game is polished. I rest my case we will both have to wait to make further decisions

[The real killer]

To be honest, i have the same feelings as FangBlade.
I expect more of it if i listed from Crytec arrogants talk about other games.

The game look very good, i only hope that Crysis 2 has more polish grafichs and Visuals. The atmosphere compensates that.

[HINDERIZATION]

now im starting to wonder how much compressed data there will be on the 360 version.
lol
btw... does anyone know what console they were playing it on?
It looks pretty good either way.

[iistuii]

But it looks really good, and i think it looks way better than anything on 360 and K2 looks dull & brown in comparrison. And if that is the 360 version , then wow.

[raztad]

Those visuals are good but really plain. I mean textures look good and the lightning does a nice job, but that is it. KZ2 got an incredible atmosphere, not even remotely matched in the footage I watched here.

Talking about particle effects they look very simple. Grenade explosions are laughable.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

Crysis with mods is still the best looking game out there.

When you guys see Crysis 2 running in full specs on a PC, you'll know what these guys are capable of. Unfortunately, you'll probably never see that. :(

[crematory]

i wanna play a solid funny video game, graphics second after gameplay dude

[Darkfocus]

except crysis has good gameplay too so I don't know why you felt the need to try to imply that it's all graphics.

[Microsoft Xbox 360]

Yeah these Crytek guys are impressive when it comes to limitless pc specs. But the real skill are from devs who manage to get a game looking like Killzone 2 and Uncharted 2 running on CONSOLES.

[Hideo_Kojima]

I agree. It is easy to design one grass and copy and paste it billions of times to fill a field. But try making that efficient.

[SOAD]

Killzone 2 and Uncharted 2 are extremely linear. You can't compare them to Crysis. Sure, Crytek is working with powerful PC specs, but the attention to detail in an open-world game like Crysis shows that they have talent. The only problem was the cloned palm trees.

[Matthew94]

About half mention Killzone 2

I hate the fanboys on this site

[Eamon]

tell me about it

[Microsoft Xbox 360]

How can you not mention K2? It is one the best looking games on consoles ever. If you can't acknowledge that, you are the blind fanboy.

[heroprotagonist]

Killzone 2, like most games on the PS3, is a nice looking, but overrated game. The graphics are nice, but not nearly as nice as ps3 fanboys like you make it out to be. Crysis 2 looks better to me. Way more stuff going on, way more dynamic, more realism and destructibility, better and faster movement, etc.

[el zorro]

I don't know. I'm a big 360 fan and while I did think it looks good I'm not sure it really surpasses the best on either console. I will have to see some more videos to get a better idea.

[MegaPowa]

i usually comment as i watch it because theres alot of different stuff on gttv

[trancefreak]

Because there are comparison articles about the 2 best shooters on the planet and killzone 2/3 can be used in that context as a comparison of that 2 crysis. I dont see any fanyboy non sense about it. Both these games will be compared because they are visual show cases. 1 FOR PC AND 2 FOR PS3 (Crysis 2 vs killzone 2/3)

In past interviews the owner of crytek has stated that no one is doing better than cryengine 3 for ps3.

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

8:54 mark

[mikepmcc]

I totally agree, sony fanboys never shut the hell up.

[Yardie]

wait... did he just say that Respawn made MW2(15:55)?

Also, Crysis 2 is looking pretty good.

[Hanif-876]

Are you from jamaica?

[Yardie]

Jamaican, living in England. why?

[zoks310]

Crysis 2 does look good, and it's good to see that my fellow Jamaicans are on N4g.com
Yardie bigup!!

[byeGollum]

so you guys mean to tell me that those visuals weren't awesome? haha. Those Visuals are really nice, plus gameplay looks like a Blast with the nanosuit abilities.

the fact that I can now play Crysis on a console is good enough for me, it don't have to look as good as the PC Vers. once its looks decent and runs nice on my ps3 0r 360 then i'm cool.

and btw it looks F*ckin awesome... (if that's footage's from the consoles, I'm f*ckin impressed).

[Perkel]

+destroyable pilars and parts
+vast space to play
+good lighting
+dynamic night and day (?? they didn't showed)

-no aa,
-no Vsync,
-no AF,
-particles and smoke is looking like any other UE3 game.

Crysis look good but it isn't groud breaking like PC version. Still there are better looking games on consoles.

[Inside_out]

Whats with all the hate for Crysis...At least this game is coming out this year....

The destructible environments looked awesome...all the broken glass...my concern being a console gamer is..simple...was that PC or console...If its console, that was incredible...if not...why are they not showing the console version...

[Ju]

Don't agree. Looks good, but not jaw breaking good. Nice scope, nice destruction. But very generic gameplay. We'll see what we'll have by the end of the year, but I might skip that game. It's not top of my list.

[jaosobno]

Well, I dont get all the negativity. I'm a PS3 owner and I think that this looks quite good. Will it replace KZ2? No. Will it be better than KZ3? No (but then again, KZ3 will most likely surpass even U2). But, will it be a fun game to play? By the looks of it, yes.

I played first crysis on pc, and this looks like quite an improvement. First part was quite boring, not to mention that I changed 2 configurations of PC and still couldn't run it smoothly on max details, so I welcome it on consoles where I won't have to spend 2 hours configuring video options and editing .cfg files to drain every last frame.

Hope that multiplayer will be fun.

[crematory]

will it be a fun game to play? By the looks of it, yes.

will will see

[Death2494]

KZ2 anti aliasing? MSAAx16 was mastered over at Santa Monica Studios, animations were mastered at Naught Dog, and graphics belong to Guerrilla Games. Sony shares all their code on a main server after a project is finished. I can on be led to believe one thing, that GG will deliver a sharp, crisp masterpiece.

[syrion]

disappointing !

[Ravage27]

but i certainly expected more from Crytek

[syrion]

i'm disappointed because their arrogance
lead writer from this game talk shit about other game like cod mw2, kz2, and halo
so this thing make me hate everything from crytek

maybe I will rent this game
or pirate this game on pc/xbox360 lol

[crazydrummerlad1]

certainly has nice graphics. if i were to compare it to kz2 id say it still falls short. perhaps its them movin outta the jungle environment their so comfortable with. but it still does look good. would love to try it out. my only gripe is the massive amount of screen tearing that was in the video. thats 1 thing i cant put up with

[byeGollum]

the thing is, its a multi-platform game so it's not allowed to be the best looking game. Even if it is the best looking game, those that worship certain games/consoles will still be in denial... at this point, ignorance kicks in.

[iistuii]

Someone speaking sense. Listen, that game footage looks amazing for a console. And if that was a PS3 exclusive, they'd be going mad on it. But it's not an exclusive,it's also on 360 and so it's no good. My god they are so far up Sony's ass.

[SDF Repellent]

These SDF are delusional....

This is one of the best looking game ever, you people seriously needs to take off those Sony branded fanboy goggles and you will see the light.

[nickjkl]

well they have a point 360 falls short on graphics for the last 5 years they have yet to do anything they even have a studio created to produce games that supposed to have competitive graphics for the ps3 and nothing has happened

until that happens ps3 fans certainly do have something to keep over the heads of the 360 fan since thats what the 360 fanboys did to the ps3 guys in 2006 2007 yet no one told them to take the colored glasses off

to be honest i dont think 360 can put out graphics or else you know they would have done it already with the easier to code for system and powerful hardware ps3 should of been blown away with its harder to code for system and poweful hardware

[Pistolero]

What in the world are you talking about nickjkl?....Alan Wake is right up there with the any of the hyped ps3 games in so far as the graphics are concerned....also I always thought Gears 2 was pretty much right up there with Uncharted 2....certainly better than Uncharted 1.

[hennessey86]

of 360 not producing good graphics erm mass effect 1+2 gears 1+2 alan wake which ive just finished and looks astonishingi have a ps3 and i admit uncharted 2 and heavy rain are the best looking game on consoles but to say the 360 cant produce great visuals is a typical fangirl statement

[xxLuckyStrike]

I couldnt have said it better...also, the 360 is doing great on five year old tech, as is the ps3 and its 4 year old tech...the 360 continues to impress even with the older tech....lol..

The 360 lacks first party support. If the 360 had better 1st party support u would see games like kz2 and uncharted 2 on the 360...talk that its not possible is just fanboy BS...

[MiloGarret]

At the time of writing, I think you're the first person in this article who actually makes sense.

[360 man]

couldnt have said it any better bubbles to you mate.

[NnT3291]

Fanboys need to understand that time passes - tech move on

[heroprotagonist]

Exactly. This is easily the best looking shooter I have seen running on consoles. The amount of detail in the environments, and especially the amount of movement and destructibility surpass anything I have seen on consoles.

But certain people with a certain brand of fanboy goggles on will never admit it.

[CoxMulder]

Guess you guys are immune to jaggies then..?

Games released 2 years ago had less aliasing.

[arakouftaian]

On consoles and because it look better than Gears of war does not means it looks
better than Killzone 2 .

The thing is that it look better than Resistance 2 and thats kool and i hope
they start making multiplataformgames with this engine over the boring unreal engine
i hope so.

[yoghurt]

Another game graphically hyped through the roof to be better than kz2, and again, it's not. Always going to be the same story with multiplats.

[Aphe]

In a ps3 fanbois brain that might be true. The rest of us know that time moves on. Crytek are one of the best devs around, so if it's going to be any company that's going to make a multiplat with visuals that could beat a ps3 exclusive it's probably going to be them.

[hennessey86]

killzone 2 isnt all that take away the high rez gun n nice lighting ur left with a brown grey and more grey wishy washy textures and horrible gun play i have a ps3 and 360 uncharted 2 is the best looking game on consoles right now followed closely by alan wake and any one whos played will agree its the best lighting ive eve seen

[hazeblaze]

No, I love Alan Wake... but KZ2 still has the best lighting I've ever seen. Uncharted 2 is more graphically beautiful, but KZ2 still has unmatched lighting and effects. And "take away the high rez gun & nice lighting"??? What kind of mess is that? Take away the graphical strengths of any game and all you're left with is an average game... Not to mention that KZ2 had the best textures in any FPS this gen, so now I kind of doubt you even played it.

I think some of you are mad at PS3 fanboys for no reason... Killzone 2 has ALWAYS been compared to Crysis. It was not the PS3 fanboys that started this... it was the pc fanboys who did not want them claiming the best gfx. So of course Crysis 2 on consoles is going to draw comparisons to the reigning FPS gfx king... it has nothing to do with exclusivity.

And frankly, I can't disagree. Crysis on PC looked way better if you had a pc with high enough specs. But Crysis 2 really does NOT look like a leap past KZ2. It looks clean and has a better color pallette... but from what they've shown so far, KZ2 looks like it flexes more graphical muscle.

[XDF]

Can we talk about Crysis 2 without these PS3 fanboys throwing in Killzone 2/3. Destuctoid was right, you guys are the worst kind of fanboys.

What makes it worst is, Crysis 2 is also on PS3. What a sad bunch.

Edit: I wondered where were the graphics supremacy talk from Sony extremists during the PS2 days?

[cyborg6971]

Let me set you straight Destructurd is right about NOTHING. Slim Jim Sterling is a hack dbag blow hard who thinks he's smart but what it all boils down to is making articles that gets them hits.
OT the game still looks good but I'd have to see more. Mainly multiplayer.

[yoghurt]

no fanboy here - these comments stem from the comments that are made when these games are announced, 'graphics to surpass kz2' bla bla bla, so, naturally as a gamer I am intrigued and excited to see what the game turns out like, as in my opinion KZ2 had the best fps graphics Ive seen - thus, disappointed when we see a gameplay video which is nothing we haven't seen before

however, its the end of the road, nobody is saying it'll be cr@p, and I will most likely still buy it.

[Eamon]

All fanboys are the same XDF.

It's just there are way more Sony fanboys here than Xbox fanboys on N4G.

[CoxMulder]

But the 360 fanboys make up for that with their 20 accounts.

The difference I see is that PS3 fanboys attack multi- and 360 games, while 360 fanboys attack PS3 fanboys. When they're not playing the victim, that is.

[Arnon]

http://i162.photobucket.com...

That's the forums alone. I'm pretty sure it gives you a good idea as to what the population of the gaming community is on here.

[HINDERIZATION]

it's 2 totally different styles of artwork and textures...
edit: and the developers are probably trying to push the systems to their limit (or at least try to) to make it an incredible game. Most games are just an upgrade in graphics after the next. Look at where we've gotten since pong!

[ape007]

these fanboys are the most insecure guys I've ever seen, all this hate because "they" are "afraid" of any game on '360" to beat "kz2 gfx"

it's pretty plain and simple, it's absolutely ridiculous how blind they are and how hard they go to defend their soul mate console

[Nykamari]

When KZ2 was released all I heard about was Crysis in every thread! Wow now that they show gameplay of Cr2 and it not ok to mention KZ2? Come on guy keep it real here! My guess is that it's very painful that KZ2 stomps a hole into this game. Oh! What else can we put up head to head with Cr2 on console? MW2, Brink, AMA2? None of those only KZ2 could got at it! All of you whom are calling out fanboys are really hurt because your system of choice don't have an exclusive to compare with Cr2 or KZ2!

[CoxMulder]

People will never admit their own hypocrisy, at least not on the internet..

[Dude420]

Oh please, it goes both ways. PS3 fanboys were claiming that KZ2 looked better than Crysis lol. Now it's just going to be a battle of who started it first.

[hazeblaze]

Crysis has been the leading game graphically for a while now... so naturally, I think ppl expected Crysis 2 on consoles to surpass Killzone 2. And while the game does look great, it doesn't look like it does surpass KZ2 graphically... now gameplay is a different matter altogether. I think it may be the best FPS out this year (better than Reach as well). But graphically, I'm betting that KZ3 is going to steal the show again...

[Re-versed]

this is doesnt look not as good as kz2 that is clearly objective i think...
I wonder when will a console game surpass kz2 in grafics??The more wait for it the more i realise that this game will be kz3...

[zaz12]

I wonder when will a console game surpass uncharted 1

BTW Crysis 2 has no AA no AF and it is a screen tearing heaven

[Re-versed]

it has been surpassed in grafics by many games...instead killzone 2 hasnt...Even today it looks unreachable althought one year has passed after its release date...

[Colonel-Killzone]

Because people are idiots. I'm tired of the killzone 2 and crysis 2 argument its old and dried the fuck up. Seriously im tired of ppl bashing my fav game and im tired of fanboys using my favorite game that they probably didn't even play in stupid arguments. Fanboys in general the are worse and im talking about PS3/xbox/PC/nintendo. You guys are ridiculous bashing a game that showed only 1 gameplay trailer seriously give the game a chance. You guys did that to the original killzone and now your doing it to crysis do you not see the pattern here ?

Kinda sad when you guys use graphics to win arguments I can tell all you did was stare at the game instead of staring and playing. Its w.e though you guys will never grow up. I think you just take it to the heart sometime. You all would be very good politicians to be honest. Always arguing and never will ever agree about anything. And this is coming from probably the biggest killzone fan you will ever meet. It has amazing graphics and so does crysis. I welcome Crysis 2 to the playstation 3. Ps3 fans if you know killzone 2 looks better why bring it up ??? And Pc fans you know crysis 2 on the Pc will be awesome so why stoop to their level ? Anyway Killzone has nothing to do with this article so stop posting about killzone.

@sid4gamerfreak

Dude you are honestly attacking me for no reason I did not state anything about killzone so your assuming nonsense. You are just mad that he insulting crysis so you feel the need to bash killzone. If that makes you feel better then go ahead because to all the real gamers on this site you and the people you are arguing with on this article right now look like morons.

[apple64]

Bubbles for the amazing post.

[Matthew94]

you are the person i would least expect to say that.
Well said

[MiloGarret]

I have to say, the first time I replied to you I assumed the worst, but you seem like a sensible person, something which is needed on this site.

I think it's your name. People automatically assume the worst when they see names like that on n4g. Anyway, here, have a bubble.

EDIT: I thought the Crysis 2 footage looked great and I see a fun game in the making. I thought the Vanquish trailer looked interesting and I'll probably get that game too. I thought the RF-trailer looked interesting (yay aliens lol) and I'll probably get that game as well. I did not like the FEAR trailer, but I will buying that too because my girlfriend enjoys the FEAR games.

[ape007]

great great comment man, that's what we need in n4g

[Re-versed]

i have to do this comparison when the crysis 2 devs trolled around claimming the crysis 2 superiority out of any other console game,and made poor attacks to kz2 in personal...Their claims proved wrong...Whats wrong to comparing two games that the very same dev of the one game compared??
So enough with big talks already guys...

[LTC]

or maybe its just the video. Doesnt touch KZ2 but its multiplatform so what do u expect. Graphics still look good and gameplay seems interesting.

[HINDERIZATION]

i like potatoes...

[123360]

i hope this aint the pc version,if its for the wi then its passable,to say disappointed is an under statement,there,s plenty more shooters out there of a much higher calibre.its not what i exspected far cry take a look

[Independent_Charles]

you are joking right. just look at the refelections and textures on those guns

[BannedForNineYears]

Looks epic sauce. o.o

[BannedForNineYears]

"When aliens attack, money doesn't matter" Epic.

[RagTagBnd445]

I'm just happy it doesn't looks as linear as i feared :P

[piramides30]

I'm NOT impressed at all.

[da305kratos]

you go make a game then

Edit: you should atleast appreciate the effort they put into it which if thats the console version, its really good...crytek could have made it PC exclusive again

[piramides30]

I buy games, I'm not going to suck the ass of Crytek like you.If I pay I have the right to complaint.

[madkrazygames]

Well said bro, the best thing you can do is ignore the fanboys all together. A lot of these guys are either kids or just really immature. So trying to reason with someone ignorant is going to get you no where bro, believe me I tried. At this point right now it's all comical.

What I find funny is when fanboys call out other fanboys and then deny they're not fanboys, it never gets old.

[da305kratos]

some people here need to stop trying to lie to themselves...even though its only a shadow of what crysis 1 was, it does look pretty sweet...and i mean in scope of size and open area, which in turn changes gameplay...personally i dont like that they changed the nano suit, thought it was fine to begin with but adding modules and what not does give the suit some "personality" of sorts...

now my biggest dilemma is, get ps3 or PC??? i have a 5750 and well it plays everything out there now but it isnt a monster :/

[dirthurts]

That is all.

[djsean]

PC.

Remember, PC version will have Sandbox v3. (custom Mods, and maps)

Plus it will (obviously) have the best graphics.

[KilZoneGeneralStrife]

I mean...I wonder how the Killzone 2 game engine would render new york..and now,I just think...Killzone 3 will be the new benchmark for graphics for console fps's..not Crysis2.still,if the gameplay is as great as bad company 2,I'll buy Crysis2.

[ultramoot]

Hmmm...that was slightly underwhelming. I kinda expected a bit more, since Crytek were hyping the whole "parallel developing" for all 3 platforms. Let's wait and see what the PC & PS3 versions looks like.

[tudors]

because from what I have seen of KZ3 I like the new look but it looks more platic than KZ2 if that makes sense? but I was never really impressed with KZ2 like some of you are, regards Crysis 2 I was impressed, IMO it does look better than KZ2 to me but what sets them apart I have to admit is that KZ2 animations can make up for bad textures so I will give it that, KZ3 seems to have better textures yet not the same gritty/dull look of KZ2 which I prefer...it's each to their own, everyone likes different things, surely that is somthing we can all agree on.

[Morituri]

Looks sweet. With this and Killzone 3 my fps quota will be filled for the year.

[TheMailman]

hahahha I told you so... Crisys2 can´t old a candle next KZ2 let alone KZ3...

Crisys2 looks like Halo in NY City...

[United4Life]

Crytek Are Brilliant Developers on the PC , and Crysis 1 Still beats out any other game in the Graphics Department , but that"s where comparisons Stop.(Since PC"s will always be the Superior Platform due to the Upgradeable Hardware and Developers have a Lot more Freedom plus It"s more Easy to Design For , A Developers Real Pedigree Comes Through when they Develop an Excellent Game on a PLatform with Limited hardware and Have to squeeze out every inch of Juice from it)

We are talking about the Crysis on Consoles which Crytek hyped up to be the Best Looking game Ever , I Won"t say It looks Disappointing from just 1 Trailer , But I Don"t Think this is Turning out the Way we Expected it to.

[ULTIMATE_REVENGE]

Why are people still hating on this game? in terms of how many things are on-screen at any given time is just insane. You can visit EVERY part of the city and EVERYTHING in the city is destructible.

KZ2 looks good but there's more happening on-screen from what I've seen in Crysis 2 than in KZ2. I can't really say anything about KZ3 since I haven't seen any official gameplay of it.

Imo Crysis 2 looks really good and all the haters can stop ACTING offended whenever they see something that rivals KZ2.

[PandaJenkins]

Not sure why you bother to say things like this to them. The PS3 fanboys are just annoyed because Crytek said Crysis 2's visuals will be the best on consoles when it comes out and personally I think it looks way better than KZ2, but of course the fanboys whether they actually think Crysis 2 looks better or not will just bash on it. They won't accept anything other than a PS3 exclusive to look the best on consoles which is pathetic since most games look good these days and many look great, and many of the great ones are indeed not only on PS3.

In any case it just makes them look shallow when it comes to games, they can enjoy their 'best visuals' and I will enjoy games for everything they offer.

[Bhai]

KZ2 set a benchmark for console FPS graphics... all that amazing lighing and animations aside... it had total... like TOTAL volumetric content for dust, clouds, smoke and bouncing particle effects... and its funny not seeing any of this in a game coming out after around 2 years later with so much hype and history of development...

C'mon, its not bad to compare to the best. Nothing on 360 or any other console has toppled KZ2, and even PCs Crysis wouldn't be so comparable, had the KZ2 team got the PC equivalent RAM, development time and upgradation freedom like the sooo lazy Crytek ;) GG are way more talented than Crytek!

Well, it was for the similar genre, had it been openly comparable, both Uncharted-2 and gow3 beat this Crysis2 to froth. If only once, just once can Crytek make a moving platform in there like gow3's Cronos or the Train of Uncharted2, be it on the PC version, I would kneel before Crytek... but yeah I know, its the job of CPUs not the GPUs, which PCs do not have the best... you can have all those amazing texture upgrades and lighting solutions but the game would still remain a generic shooter :)

1 week to KZ3!!! ;)

[RagTagBnd445]

@Above

Pc does not have the best CPU's? CoreI7 says hello....

[Bhai]

Heh, yeah it came out in 2010 but haven't you heard? Cell beats it even today, you know what the word is... "Shame", even in 2010 :)

Chk this:
http://www.ps3news.com/Play...

Shame really!

[theone26]

So much for best looking console game, I really don't think it trumps kz2 atm not to mention kz3 down the road, but I'm happy I get to play this awesome game nontheless.

[NateDPG]

I don't know what you all people have, this looks great. Better than KZ2 and I think it'll be on par with KZ3.

When the reviews and the game is out you will see this is one of the best looking games.

[Legendary-Status]

Crysis 2 feels like it's more box in move to stage 1 load move to stage 2 unlike Killzone 2 open areas like I can go anywhere and the atmosphere is so live like it put's you in the war it just flow's smooth..yeah it's better on pc but console's? KZ2 Graphic's hell no... & KZ3 dont let me mention KZ3.. a class of it's on..on another planet..and getting tip's from ND...

[tudors]

no offense mate but I could walk right out into the ocean in Halo 1, please don't make out like KZ2 is open worlds because it's not at all, I just watched the Crysis charactor jump down the side of a skyscraper, doesn't that equal open? in the original call of duty's I could storm normandy beach, if KZ2 is so open then why can't you even walk in the ocean?

[Bhai]

For now, its simply not enough, the only thing impressive was the guy jumping from the tall building... but already seen it in Resistance2 with Leviathan throwing Nathan across buildings or Cole jumping in inFamous... besides that, the game seems to be plain old affair :(

[knightdarkbox]

crytek bring us to lower depths of mediocrity in consoles people.

[HDgamer]

The only people I see are complaining about this game is clearly the people who didn't have the opportunity to play it's predecessor and stupid fanboys. Mostly stupid fanboys are on here complaining lol. Anyway I'll be picking this up for ps3 and pc. Both for online gameplay but the pc version for better graphics and mod dev tools to experiment with.

[A LIVING LEGEND]

Out on a limb,in on a whim.
This game will be a sort of Haze2...
Disagree now.Wonder how it came to be later.

[smooth1]

how can anyone say it doesnt look good. considering the open feel to it and the destructible environment.

[XXXCouture]

I cant wait for Crysis 2, i gotta have it on pc for max graphics. the gameplay was a blast in the first one

[HurstDarkStar]

almoste looked like CGI to me

[smooth1]

@PANDAJENKINS, i know rite.. i love halo cause its fun. i dont care what they say, if any game is fun im gonna play it

[vx]

in a first person view

[thehitman]

But I wont be buying this because ill be too busy with Socom4/Killzone3 if they released in fall next year Id see myself getting this more.

[Xfanboy]

Socom 4 over this no way!!!

PC ftw!!

[thehitman]

But Crysis doesnt hold a candle to Socom

[Xfanboy]

Im glad to be a gamer!!!

Disagrees?? lmao!!!

ok Im not glad to be a gamer now give my bubbles back!!

[Justanothergamer]

This gameplay runs on 360. Or on Ps3, maybe, but less likely. (EA said they only showed the game running on Xbox yet )
How do I know that?
Just look at the speed the guy playing moves the camera : this is a joystick, not a mouse. Anyone who has played an FPS on pc can tell this.

OR, I'm wrong and the guy playing just plain sucks. But since Crytek already said that the pc gamers awaiting Crysis 2 WON'T be disappointed,I don't think I'm wrong.

[XactGamer]

I guess this will have great graphics for consoles maybe the best so far but I just wanna see PC footage only on a high end PC. How Crytek do you showcase console first with your PC roots. That's like Valve showing vids of Half Life 3 for consoles first.

[Xfanboy]

"Everyone is saying this looks awesome on 360, people are really amazed, but it scales so the PC one is going to look fine. If we showed it on the PC, people would wonder what it looks like on console so...It's easier to wow people from the bottom up and continue to wow them".
- Crysis 2's executive producer Nathan Camarillo

http://www.gamerzines.com/p...

[XactGamer]

Thanks for the link man hadn't seen that yet.

[mal_tez92]

The gameplay actually impressed me. This is a bit surprising seeing as how I never really got into Crysis 1.

I like how it's on Playstation now, seeing as how I sold my computer.4

I'll add this to the list of games I want, Killzone 3, LBP2 & Resistance 3 are also on the list.

[Hellsvacancy]

Thats 3 game trailers ive seen today Red Faction, Vanquish and Crysis 2 and NONE of them looked appealin "just a whole load of meh" im so bored of gamin

[unknownhero1123]

I actually liked the RF trailer. On topic: personally, I like the looks on this game. can't wait to play it really.

[tdinc]

Useless trailer. This game will bomb. graphics will be awesome, but thats about it.

[PS3owns360_]

Well if the 360 looks the same as the ps3 does, well then the ps3 can do much more and crytech fails, KZ2, Uncharted2, and GOW3 looks way better, and just think when
KZ3 comes out.. oh boy ..

[DigitalAnalog]

The game looks fantastic, but I won't dwelve into the details vs "teh Killzoneth 2" because I do appreciate the game for what it is and after watching this, I would certainly say, I WILL BUY THIS.

But I wonder, if they would use the said Cryengine 3 to port the original crysis to consoles. After all, I DO not want to miss out on the big part of the story.

-End statement

[iamgoatman]

Looks awesome.

The weapons look like they have real weight and power this time round, some of the guns in the first game felt like pea shooters.

Also glad to see it's more open than I expected. Compared to the massive open maps in Crysis 1, a city environment sounded quite limiting, but that doesn't seem to be the case here.

I'll reserve judgment on the graphics until I see it running on max settings on my own PC, which I'm really looking forward to.

Can't wait for this now.

[Bluemaster77]

Well crytec delivered best looking game on consoles

[hatchimatchi]

did you watch the video?

[Bluemaster77]

Yes i watched it and the visuals are stunning to say the least

[bunfighterii]

whats with the huge amount of screen tearing? Is that going to be in the game? its plain distracting.

To me it looks good graphically... but I can't help but not like al ot of the design choices. It looks so standard/amateur sci-fi, and just stock standard, unimaginative stuff... anyone else think that?

[bunfighterii]

the more i watch that the more overhyped that looks graphically... I've seen better...

[hiredhelp]

DONT SAY I DIDNT SAY SO. BUT I SAID SO. dating back months i said this game will blow you console guys away. now putting the shown pc crysis aside. the footage i hope was on a console.showing the crysis 2 looked AWSOME!! has to be said there new engine shines.now then something is telling me the gameplay footage may have come from a pc. why do i say that. because i ASSUME there would of been button displayed in the game.there wasnt however that being said. being ive owned all formats and have a high end pc rig. and i build computers. this is truly on a scale of a FPS game beats all console games.LIKE ME OR HATE ME ITS TRUE SO TUFF LUCK.now dating back few months ago A person from offcial playstation mag. claimed that he knew someone from EA personal level and was told that this IP was developed on the ps3. now i truely beleave this to be true because. they want to hit the consoles. any PC GAMER HEREwill tell you CRYTEK CRYSIS ARE POWER HUNGURY THEY WILL TARGET THE MOST POWERFULL CONSOLE. that being said it will still shine look the dogs dangles even on the 360 make all halo games gears of war wotever you want look PANTS. so be greatfull your getting a new leash of life. im gonna stop drgging this on. but im soo happy crytek did aim for the consoles.dont forget guys. certan member of rare witch changed there name when made timespliiters got taken on by crytek when they lost there jobs. they pushed games to the next level.

[bobdog626]

Point Blank you Lose the Bet.Crysis 2 look way Better than Gears Uncharted and Killzone Combinded.So much for your All Powerful Cell . See U at E3 .LMAO

[hiredhelp]

i think you mist my pont. crytek making this useing the ps3.inc the ps3 cell. and yes does look better than killzone 2 and no not uncharted as its not FPS.but engine wise yes. but kz3 will look awsome and so will uncharted 3.

[-IronMan-]

Killzone 3 will be better looking graphics etc... then Crysis 2.

Reason why Killzone 3 is exclusive and will use the power of the PS3.

Crysis 2 on the otherhand is multiplatform and will make it exactly the same on both consoles.

And we already know which console is the best. PS3. :P

[bobdog626]

the Crytek Engine says it All.Killzone 3 will not look better than Crysis 2 Point Blank.If you look at Killzone and Gears both have a Dark Grayness about them .Crysis 2 is in Full Light .Nothing is Hidden in Gray.The Crytek Engine itself is No JOKE.

[DigitalAnalog]

Instead of Killzone 2 , look at Uncharted 2 and GOW III! Since you like to BRAG about colors!

-End statement

[Pootangpie]

although the PC version smokes the console versions the console version are still damn impressive and look better then KZ2 PS3 has no advantages over the 360 deal with it each system has there plus and minuses

[bjornbear]

I can't wait to finally play the game =)

@ everyone butthurt:

get off your high horse, it isn't the best looking console game, it doesn't look revolutionary, but Crytek haven't disspointed before, and they won't noW!

so stfu! and ENJOY CRYSIS 2! =D

[Syaz1]

the building to building jumping reminds me a bit of mirror's edge, only with nanosuit. looks fun tho. gameplay seems fast paced, and jumping on buildings could add a bit of twist. graphics looks solid too, except for the aliasing issues which were very noticable since the very 1st tech demo of cryengine 3.

i wonder what mirror's edge 2 looks like if they use cryengine 3. as it is the game is on par with a lot of the best looking titles today even tho it's released in 2008, yet it's rather underrated and gone unnoticed. i think dice should concentrate on battlefield series, while passing the torch to black box (skate devs) to develop mirror's edge 2 using cryengine 3.

[xtremexx]

looks pretty cool, not very excited about it, but im still pretty excited

[frankymv]

looks good but I am not blown away. Lots of screen tear and aliasing. Lets see how this game pans out. From a graphical and scale perspective, Killzone 3 looks way more compelling.

[JonnyBigBoss]

Looks pretty good. I'm not a fan of Crysis but this looks better.

[PS360PCROCKS]

Crysis 2 looks pretty good. Not the best, but good, I'm excited to try it out. Vanquish looks pretty interesting also, it's a Japanese/Ninja style shooter. Jumping around and sliding like crazy while shooting, looks fun.

Awesome!

[Pandamobile]

Jesus Christ, PS3 Fanboys are more arrogant than PC gamers now.

[DigitalAnalog]

Is it just me or did you admit that PC gamers were more arrogant before this?

-End statement

[DarkSpawnClone]

i think your all bad and wont stop complaining,you fight and provoke each other more then you actually talk about games,fighting over who is a worse fanboy is really lame.even now panda you provoke ps3 fanboys your not helping at all your doing is just adding fuel to the fire.have fun trolling panda.

[Pandamobile]

Yes, PC gamers have always been arrogant, just the same as console gamers have always been pretty ignorant.

Now the PS3 fanboys are arrogant AND ignorant...

Also, Darkspawn, I'm not trolling I'm just commenting on what I've seen in the discussion section.

[DarkSpawnClone]

i hope before crysis 2 released they put a demo on psn/live want to try it before i get it there are so many fps coming out its going to make me sick.what i care most about when i get a game is: story,re-playability,game play and graphics(I spent a shit load of money on HD TV's,i want to show off what my TV/PS3 can do)I don't really care what game looks better as long as they look good. Crysis 2 or killzone 3 so far to me killzone sounds like its going to have a better story line this time around but idk about crysis i don't know much about its story line the only thing i know is that its set in new york(great new york...again..why is it always new york.).but both games look awesome cant wait until they are out,E3 is about a week and a half away! we will know more then,still not to much to go on yet.

[Omega Zues]

Just hope it plays far better then Crysis 1. Dear lord Crysis Gameplay was terrible. Nothing like hiding in the bushes using cloak a hundred yards away and some random Korean sees you...

and those dang annoying helicopters. Those were seriously the bane of my existence.

[Derekvinyard13]

graphics YES but this game dosent even look fun. it looks like a standerd great looking FPS

[sluttytuna]

Why does everyone kiss KZ2 ass? You aren't gamer if you think KZ2 was good! Your a poser. A monkey could tell you KZ2 gameplay was terrible! What's a fps with sucky shooting? KZ2 sales reflect that! It was so boring! KZ2 graphics looks "good" because the use a shit load of dark rooms to hide the terrible textures. Crysis 2 has a fully bright and vibrant city. I'll take that over KZ2 anyday!

[ArchangelMike]

...and what games do you play that make You a Gamer, huh? (your first lame a$$ point). You think sales is what makes a good game, you're obviously a Wii fit fanboy then, because their sales trump any other game out there. (Your second even more lame a$$ point). How do you knw Crysis 2 has a vibrant city? did you see any pedestrians in the trailer? any vehicles driving around? (your third lame a$$ pathetic point).

TO each his own, but to make comments like "You aren't gamer if you think KZ2 was good! Is talking out of your stinky a$$, and proves you don't understand gamers.

[finbars75]

Most likey because you either have a xbox or nintnedo wii and have no clue of what KZ2 was.Boring not even close.Graphically unbelievabley sick.You must be another typical COD Fanboy who couldnt handle what realism is all about in the controllers and characters movements when it comes to fps.Sales werent the best but where still descent but doesnt make it a flop if it didnt sell millions.The problem was KZ2 was a head of its time with people being to use to arcady shooters with unrealstic speed and garbage shooting.The textures where sweet and crysis 2 textures look like crap.No real detail looks cartooney and cheap looking.KZ2 had awsome detail which is a big deal.Evereything I have seen in the crysis 2 video was to fake looking with the lighting and not enough attention to detail.The fact that crysis2 is being compared to a game thats alomost 2 years old isnt helping it in any way while KZ3 is around the corner.So i guess crysis3 will be out in 4 more years trying to catch up with kz3.Good luck sluttytuna or should I say fake ass gammer with the brain the size tangerine.

With a few good looking shooters coming out in 2011, it'll be interesting to see which one takes the crown. My money is on KZ3, as Vanquish, FEAR3, Red Faction Armageddon, and even the mighty Crysis 2 will not be able to stand up against GG opus (Heck compare them to KZ2, and they already look old, Crysis 2 does look good thought I have to admit).

The known Fact is that there has not been ONE multiplatform game that stands up to exclusives, be they on 360 or PS3. And I'm afraid Crysis 2 will be developed based on the lowest common development platform, which we all know is the...

[bobdog626]

You Know good and well that Crysis 2 is the $hit on any console so Stop Crying .Put KZ3 trailer against Crysis 2 trailer and you can see which look better unless your a Blind FB like most on this site.

[ArchangelMike]

Ok first up, Crysis 2 is being developed as multiplatform. I will not max out the PS3 and take advantage of all it's processing power. KZ3 will!!!

Secondly, the Killzone 3 trailer has not been released yet, it will be released on Friday. You cannot compare the KZ3 teaser, which was rendered btw, with the Crysis 2 Trailer, which showed gameplay.

What you can do is compare the Crysys 2 trailer with the Killzone 2 trailer, and see for your self which looks better.

[hatchimatchi]

It looks good but i honestly don't think it looks better than killzone2.

People can hate on the story and characters of that game all they want but kz2 is a beast when it comes to console graphics. I'm curious to see what crysis2 will look like on the pc though.

[clarkdef]

Mario Galaxy trumps Cry2

[Theonetheonly]

Those who enjoy it will enjoy it. Those who dont wont.
Arguing is just like mud wrestling with a Pig....... After a while you get tired and then you realize that the pig likes it.

Game on.... Game on !!

[EVILDEAD360]

Game looks amazing..can't wait..We are about to be in absolute shooter heaven in the 3rd and 4th quarter..

The MEGA-Shooter of MEGA Shooters..Halo Reach

The Graphic monster- Crysis 2

The 'EVERYONE and their MOTHER' will be playing Treyarch BEAST- Call of Duty: Black Ops

Followed closely by Ghost Recon & Gears of War 3..and who knows when People Can Fly's BulletStorm will drop... can you say Broke @SS gamers?

All of the Killzone 3 whining is absolutely silly..the game won't be out for a year and a half at BEST..I guarantee Killzone 3 will be at the next E3..and by then we'll be talking about Uncharted 3 and God of War 4

So let it go..Crysis 2 got NOW..Killzone got later..much much later..

[Theonetheonly]

I miss the days when n4g was full of 800+degree stories Bring on the gaming news im excited to see this story broke 1000+ :_)

[Stempel]

Crysis 2 is an excellent upcoming game. I don't care about your graphics discussion here and there. And I think you should be happy, PS3 fanboys, cause you're getting a good game in your beloved console, however the only thing you do is to complain about it mentioning other games like KZ 2/3. Sincerely, you're the worst fanboys out there, guys :(

P.D: I'm not a fanboy of any platform

[kewlkat007]

The game looks great. I wonder what the Gameplay will offer.

[ManiacMansion]

best looking shooter so far (this gen).... only fanboys deny.

KZ3 will never look that good, since it uses the same engine as KZ2.

I will say it the same way when Gears 2 came out and the fanboys shouted out that its gears 1.5... now KZ3 gets KZ 2.5

[SignOfZodiac]

ok this is one title that could have stayed on PC. I would respect it more if they had created it from the ground up for "360 and PS3" instead, and I quote what he said in the video interview "It is hard to squeeze the PC vision on to the systems" furthermore gaming isn't all about FPS.

[Bluemaster77]

I dont understand why all of the sony guys are upset its on their console too just live n play

[arakouftaian]

Saying this look better thanKillzone 2 wich does not it look a lil better than resistace with better lighting and that prety cool and i hope many moré multiplataform games start looking like this good .

But please Xbox fanboy stop the Bs. Yes the game look good but
is far away behind Killzone 2 in every department.

Remember youguys already look like retardes once before
talking Bs. About the ps3

[NinjaAssassin]

Sorry to burst your bubble, but it looks miles better than Resistance 2. Everything from textures, lighting, scale and dynamic destruction it blows away Resistance 2 and even probably beats Killzone 2 all things considered.

[chiwoo]

it looks great but i hope the story is good because it can have awosome graphics and and looks stunning but iam a story person and i hope its good instead of everyone focusing on the graphics.

[jy_mrnd]

PC version for me always the superior version!

[NateDPG]

Watched it on a HDTV, this looks sick

[jalen247]

One thing is certain...based off that footage...Crysis 2 won't be the best looking game on the PS3.

I can't speak or the Xbox 360...it might be the best looking game on that platform.

[LiquifiedArt]

Not sure about 360 (as i dont own one) but as for the ps3, no way. I'll get this for the PC anyway.

[theone26]

KZ2 still has it beat from what I've seen so far, the draw distance in Crysis 2 is embarrassingly bad.

[gamer2010]

Huh? The draw distance is better than it is in Killzone 2.

They tried to give the illusion of expansive environments in Killzone 2, but if you look carefully you notice that the area you actually travel through is fairly linear.

On the other hand I can tell even from this footage that Crysis 2 will allow for more freedom of movement.

[LiquifiedArt]

They made obvious sacrafices. Its apparent and their level of detail isn't that great. Atleast not compared to other games on consoles.

The original crysis doesn't even look that amazing. The most impressive aspect was the foliage engine and the physics, which were applied to the foliage, besides that, it wasn't that great.

I play Crysis MAXED 1920x1200. The animations specifically, were very last-gen when compared to the likes of uncharted or kz2.

[gamer2010]

You honestly sound like a delusional fanboy. Crysis absolutely crushed Killzone 2 and you didn't even have to play it at max settings to do it.

From my perspective, KZ2, Gears of War 2, Uncharted 2, Alan Wake and so on are all on basically the same level. They don't equal what a decent PC can achieve.

[The_Zeitgeist]

Wow. Honestly I don't know what to think other than wow that is pretty good. It will be interesting to see the final product. Day one purchase for sure.

[arakouftaian]

Lol at the fanboys that think that Crysis 2 look better than Killzone 2

most of them aré Xbox fanboys that dont want to accept that the PS3 is supperior
and some aré the PC fans that think that the PS3 is a low res gaming PC, lol

Whatever makes you sleep happy fanboys keep been ignorant

[fullmetal297]

Yeah keep talking out your ass Sony fanboy.

[Legendary-Status]

you must be slow or confuse in the head to mix up xbox360 games with ps3 Exclusive's lol it use's the same engine as KZ2 (WTF?) so KZ3 want look any better..umm buddy this aint Gears 1.5 or the xbox 360 at that..with ps3 game's I see leap's and bound's when the 2nd sequel come's out like for instance Uncharted 2...now come on let's be real Graphical wise Gears 2 barely look better then 1.. I mean come on Gear's is the best Graphics on the Xbox 360.. but with ps3 games I see progress they get better and better pushing the bar to new standard's...KZ3 will be what Uncharted 2 was watch and see...didn't earn it's Respect with the 1st title even know everybody knew Uncharted was good... but struck back hard with a Sequel so saying that Killzone 3 is what Uncharted 2 was & KZ3 will drop making that the 2nd sequel on the ps3 platform...

[fuckoffodion]

lots of idiot 360 fanboys here i see.

[Bolts]

Is the aliens still sucks. They're generic as hell and boring. There isn't anything about these aliens that would brand them as cool or badass. Crysis is always at it's best when you're fighting human opponents.

[hiredhelp]

many of us can be ignorant and arrogant.because we are all trying to defend witch we asume is better.the fact is. the facts even thoe maybe right in our faces.somtimes we dont want to admit it. however there are a few that are level minded. i know pc will always be 3 steps ahead in terms of games.but this whole 360 ps3 getting tireing now. as for crysis 2 looks the pants im buiying it no matter what. but hear this.the 360 has done well sorry forget .the developers have done well for the 360.BUT times are changing. im not seeing nothing being pushed on the 360 in last 2 years.in fact some multiformat games look better than some eclusive IP's on 360.thats why more devs are looking closely now at the ps3 more. like EA' ROCKSTAR' without the exclusive and bought IP'S but i will admit pc games will always be 3 steps ahead. that being said i think we need to step back and open our eyes and look what we saying and playing. the worst thing i hate right now is stupid comparison shots. and concept art.witch are dodgy from the get go.im just fedup witch is best. if you like 360 stick with it.if you like ps3 stick with it.stick with wot you like what you know.but dont diss the other console even if it may or maynot be the better console.but if you truely cant help but come out with silly names like TROLLS FANBOYS.get fu*** life buy all the formats inc a nintendo WII.(EARLY MID LIFE CRISIS)

[jalen247]

I am not even being funny or nothing...but I honestly think Killzone 2 looks better than that Crysis 2 footage. And from the little that I have seen of Killzone 3...I am willing to bet Killzone 3 will stomp all over Crysis 2 on consoles in terms of graphics
