Msxbox-world looks at the 3D implementation in the just released Crysis 2 demo which pales in comparison to its peers presenting an inferior use of the technology.
Wow, after all that hype about Crysis 2's groundbreaking 3D technology and all the time and money they put into developing it for the 12 people out there who can actually use the feature, they don't even like it!
Unlike, for example, GT5 or movies like Avatar, Crysis 2 doesn't render a different image for each eye.
It renders one image then warps that image left or right using a clever depth based scaling algorithm. This is why there's no significant frame-rate or resolution hit with the Crysis 2 "3D."
Crysis 2 3D may fail on console where people have no choice and are at the mercy of the developer.
On PC things are different we have softwares like IZ3D, Tri Def which can be configured to change things very quickly. Not to mention the modding community.
GameTrailers already mentioned this at E3 last year. Everyone left the Crysis 2 3D E3 demo scratching their heads, wondering what was supposed to be in 3D. It's weak at best.
For the disagrees here's the quote from Crytek's Jens Schaefer, "The final game has a lot more depth and a lot of progress happened. The 360 demo did not integrate the updates and thus 360 demo is not representative regarding S3D."
The press was impressed last week when they got to play test crysis 2 in 3D atleast the national 3D gamepress was. They said the 3D was more into the screen instead of out of the screen 3D.
It isn't DX11? I thought that something didn't seem right. I played it at 1920*1080/Hardcore settings. I kept thinking that this game looks good, but not quite as good as I thought it should look. Maybe no DX11 is why I thought that?
Me too. I tried liking it but this game seems to be on the bottom of my list for must play FPS games this year. There's R3, KZ3, Darkness 2, DNF, and Serious Sam 3 for me.
I've just played a couple matches. Overall very nice. Looks beautiful..best looking game I've seen yet. Couple things bother me like there is no toggle to zoom...e.g you have to hold right mouse down to zoom and press left to fire at the same time. I run the game at 1280x720 and it plays perfectly smooth but in full screen things seem a bit blurry but window mode looks great.
1. Disconnect all cables from the 360 to TV 2. Put 360 in garbage disposal (incineration or hammer beating also works) 3. Buy PS3 or fairly powerful Nvidia GPU-based PC 4. Enjoy 3D as it's meant to be enjoyed
First off why does he have to buy a Nvidia based GPU PC? AMD/Ati GPu are just as good if not better and cheaper and they give you a choice of what 3D software you want to use.
Second, sure the PS3 has tons of exclusives but maybe this person is huge Halo, Gears, COD fan and enjoys those online communities.
third, Enjoying 3D as it's meant to be enjoyed means going to an Imax theater.
Fourth, to answer the question you should be able to turn 3D on in the options menu of the game and only if the game supports 3D and some TV require you to enable the 3D feature in the options menu.
yea but you have to admit that 360 only has a couple 3d games(most aren't actual 3d anyway), which is very weak compared to the amount of games in 3d on ps3, so if you want games in 3d you WOULD have to get a ps3 or an expensive pc...so yea
Played the multiplayer beta on xbox for 2nd time and still not impressed at all. Graphics are nothing spectacular. Apart from realistic lightning engine, it looks like there's no AA, constant textures and shadows pop-in, sub HD, and still only 30 fps. CoD is nothing spectacular graphically too, but it has 60FPS which is much more easy on eyes.
But most importantly, the gameplay is nothing new, imho. It's just plain boring, same old shit once again. Once again they just copy Call of Duty's perks, attachements, killstreaks etc. I want something new, I want to be surprised like I was when CoD4 came out three years ago.
Here's hope that single player will be good. Overall, it looks like it's gonna be the 2nd big dissapointment of the year, after Killzone 3 which really is Killzone 2 minus some features.

Crytek has said the 3D in the demo is not as good as the final game.
It is not even REAL 3D.
I am downloading the PC demo right now. Hopefully the 3D implementation is better than on the 360.
to tell u the truth i tried to like this game...its visually gr8 but idk i just cant get into it...
