In an effort to generate some last minute anticipation for Crytek's high-powered, tech-tastic shooter Crysis 2, Electronic Arts gave a bunch of media folk the chance to (finally) check out the PlayStation 3 version of the forthcoming sequel this week during GDC 2011.
The showcase event included both the standard version as well as the 3D version of the game, three modes and three maps.
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.

Its too late fro Crytek to convince me. They've been ignoring PS3 players for so long. Showing us nothing until last week and giving us the MP demo on the 15th... wayyy after everyone else.
Its like they think they have no competition and can do whatever the please. They should have been trying wildly to grab our attention. Screw them.
This looks pretty good. I'm confused on which system to get it for.
Another FPS, nothing special
I'm very likely going to be cancelling my pre order. Interested in seeing some review first and playing the demo.
the game is plain awful. Where to begin.. disappointing graphics, unsatisfying gameplay, crap controls, HORRID map design, i mean wow, if you think nuketown is a bad map on black ops wait until you play the crysis 2 maps. And overall the game is just not fun at all whatsoever.
The music is amazing though, ill give it that.
