Parting ways with the flourishing tropical island setting of the first game, Crytek has traded in the lure of nature for a different kind of jungle. This time around players will explore the concrete jungle that people have come to know as Manhattan. In Crysis 2 the city has lost its legendary scenery after an alien attack leaves the city ravaged and in dismay as the once enchanting atmosphere of Manhattan has vanished to utter chaos and destruction.
Featuring the complete nanosuit experience, The Crysis Trilogy has now joined the EA Access vault as a title that's free for those that subscribe to the EA service on Xbox One consoles.
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?
It supposed to add more realistic light Not actually more light effects and explosions
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.
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.

Ahh yes...
"Unlike many 3D games or movies, Crysis 2 doesn’t jump out of the screen at you. It instead creates a sense of depth – similar to many 3DS"
So no true stereoscopic 3D for the PS3 now? More of the same shitty BlOops quality 3D?
cant wait for crysis. looking really good.
add this to kz3 this month, and homefront next month, and it equals a great fps start to 2011...
Have any of you played Crysis 1, you should at least look up the story on youtube to familiarize yourself with the events.
Looking forward to this game. Can't wait to get it on PS3. Oh yeah, I have an XBOX too.
