Crysis 2's Nanosuit Hogs the Spotlight in Multiplayer

Crysis 2's shiny Nanosuit promises multiplayer gamers dynamic changes to the ebb and flow of combat...but does it eclipse the allure of the game's weapons in the process?

Pixel_Enemy5266d ago

Holy ****! I played the demo on the 360 and it looks like turd. This looks so much better it is unbelievable! It may be the best looking 360 game but not when compared to what's on PC and PS3.

WhiteNoise5266d ago

@pixel_enemy

Ummm. That IS the 360 beta footage.

I think it's funny when people say the game looks like crap on 360, then see 360 footage and say "this must be PC footage"

Either you haven't played the demo, or your eyes are f-ed...

SuicideShaun5266d ago

You people need to stop saying that it will look much better on ps3. It will look great on PC. But it won't be that much better on ps3.

Tinasumsum5266d ago (Edited 5266d ago )

What makes you think the PS3 version will even match the 360 version? The developers won't even show the PS3 version. We seen some PC footage but mostly 360 footage.

that's 360 footage? holy hell!

Kon5267d ago

Just by looking at your comment history, i see 90% of your comments are saying bad things about Crysis 2. Why the hate?

SJPFTW5267d ago

not really. but they are both very colorful and vibrant games if thats what your trying to say

Kon5267d ago

NEVER say that a multiplat game can be like a PS3 exclusive. It is against N4G guidelines.

SSKILLZ5267d ago (Edited 5267d ago )

Say what you want to say, as a ps3 owner I stand for the truth, I'm no ignorant . This game could even end up looking better than KZ3 and KZ3 look awesome, it just gets better and no one loses except your wallet

plb5267d ago

Yeah right. Uc2 > Crysis 2 console. PC different story.

WhiteNoise5267d ago (Edited 5266d ago )

I don't know why console gamers have a problem admitting that multiplats can look as good as exclusives.

There are multiplats on every platform that look better than exclusives. I didn't say ALL exclusives.

But game design has to be taken into consideration.

Crysis 2 is MUCH MUCH more open in design that the linear design of UC2 and KZ3. I mean on the train sequence in UC2 the trees are 2d sprites FFS.

How much corner cutting can you take?. GT5...2d environments.... absolutely barren plain green textures for hills, no grass, barely any signage...

Just because some games don't have as high poly count of the main characters like in UC2 on consoles doesn't mean that they don't wipe the floor with exclusives in other areas.

Rage runs at 60 frames, that is TWICE any other decent looking game on consoles.

If it looks better than half as good as exclusives, then it has surpassed them because 60 frames obviously requires twice the processing power.

Rage and Crysis 2 are marvels on console, just deal with it.

talltony5266d ago (Edited 5266d ago )

Except crysis 2 really doesnt look that good at all. I dont understand what people are talking about. I have played this beta for hours and it clearly is not even the best looking multiplat.

"Crysis 2 is MUCH MUCH more open in design that the linear design of UC2 and KZ3."

Oh really? Crysis 2 isnt linear? Crysis isnt linear Crysis 2 is.

You think I care about stupid disagrees? Disagrees and no response proves nothing.

Here are Star Wars The Force Unleashed, Crysis 2, RAGE & Resident Evil 2 Remake with Ray Tracing

YouTube’s members ‘Digital Dreams’ and ‘Jose cangrejo’ have shared some videos, showcasing Pascal Gilcher’s Reshade mod – which adds Ray Tracing/Path Tracing effects – in some really old games such as Star Wars The Force Unleashed, Crysis 2, RAGE and Resident Evil 6.

I'm still learning how to look for the differences. At first I was focusing on shadows for some reason but I don't think that changes much, is it reflections that change?

rashada072201d ago (Edited 2201d ago )

It is supposed to be simulating how light actually works- so yes if light is reflecting off a surface accurately it should show reflection or an effect that matches what you are looking at in the environment. Next time you play a game look at a puddle of water there may be just a "baked" in texture that if you aren't paying attention seems like it is reflecting but it isn't. I would say though if the light is reflecting more accurately I would think that would give more accurate shadows as well.
I am still not 100% sold on it- it looks okay but I can't get over the hardware price jump for better reflections..

Taz X142201d ago

While games won't look immensely better, it opens up more possibilities overall. Understandably, the price jump is huge. But, that can be said for being at the forefront for any new technology. I'm currently using a 2080ti and while I've played a few games that enable it, the gpu also plays everything else incredibly well so it's not like you're buying this tech for ONLY that option. Enthusiasts will pay top dollar to check out the newest things, but this will eventually become an everyday consumer and by then they'll have optimized and become a lot cheaper.

warriorcase2200d ago

Ray/path tracing can be used how the developer wants it to be. Tracing can be used to calculate shadows/lighting, reflection and even audio, where audio waves are calculated on the bounce off material types to simulate enviroment and echos accuratly.

Should also keep in mind that this ray/path tracing system is different and less accurate option from Nvidias RTX branded type. McFly's is a reshade that layers over the top of the game and therefor the quality will vary drastically. For example you can see nice reflection in the Star Wars demo here but it then introduces colour clipping with the light saber. On a video of GTA 5 for example it was incorrectly projecting a reflection of a red car onto the road which caused a very faint red glow on the ground around the car.

If you want to see a good example of a game developed with ray tracing reflection and lighting in mind then you could look up the youtube video of "Control - Exclusive E3 RTX GAMEPLAY Trailer".

DigitallyAfflicted2201d ago

It supposed to add more realistic light Not actually more light effects and explosions

traumadisaster2201d ago

I hate to say it but I’m fine with fake lights, shadows, reflections. I just kind of like the effect, it’s also great it saves resources for other things.

I’ve been checking out some original Xbox games on x360/x1x and the engine has fake light streaming in through a stained glass window, and I love it even though I know it’s not real time lighting. Heck it even shifts as I move about.

I’ve about convinced my self rt and hdr just doesn’t work for me. Before hdr I would even complain damn why are the headlights killing me they are so bright.

I notice most frame rate, then jaggies, then resolution; with the last two interchangeable depending.

Other day watched an enthusiast rave over 4k and the poor guy was in 1080p. I played the same game the night before and thought wow this is clean, I wonder if it’s 4k, but knew differently and I thought wow even resolution is not always important. The next day he apologized and was surprised he could be fooled.

RaidenBlack2200d ago

EA should have released the Crysis Trilogy Remaster for this gen.

FGHFGHFGH2195d ago

How come the lightsabers don't give off any light? Even in the EA star wars game the guy uses it to light up a dark cave. I guess if it is using frostbite it will support rtx cards.
