Sequel's creation "depends on the success of Crysis 2"
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.
Crysis was something new to gaming
Crysis 2 is bad and another coridor shooter... Crysis 3 already?
I can see milking...
Is no real surprise that they've got the rough story mapped out for the third game, am assuming they're treating C2 as the development and C3 as the conclusion. Nothing new here.
Cant wait for Crysis2, although knowing EA, theyll have an online pass for it.
Plot in Crysis games? LOL! Good one. So far the best joke I've heard in 2011.
""But if it sells anywhere near what [Call of Duty] Black Ops has, there may be more from Crysis.""
God Cervat is a douchebag...
They sold the F out. Most other developers would say "holy crap, we sold 3 million units of a gamer that NO ONE COULD RUN for 3 years after release.
My O.C GTX480 gets 38fps avg on v.high @1080p with 8aa in crysis....In other games that look 90% as good, I'm running 32csaa with a 60 frame min...
If they don't make crysis 3 simply because they are greedy and don't sell COD figures ( which they won't ) then I don't care what game they make next, I'm not buying it.
