If the rumors are true, and Crytek is indeed working on DX 11 and advanced graphics options to be released tomorrow, 3/28/11, would you be willing to get back together with Crytek?


For those that said they would have pirated this game, maybe this would convince you otherwise? Maybe at least dissuading you from telling everyone on the gamesas forums.

imo, so long as they amend their mistakes in an expeditious manner, I would be more then willing to forget this whole thing ever happened. However, if it just turns out to be a false lead, and Crysis didn't nip it in the bud as soon as it was mentioned here, I don't know if my poor heart could take it. 5 days in is pretty quick for an update like this I think, and I do believe that our criticisms, harsh as they may be, did influence them, of course that's just wishful thinking.

And for all those self righteous morons, constantly saying things like: "CRYSIS 2 IS SO AMAZING!!! STOP WHINING ABOUT THE BROKEN MP AND BAD TEXTURES AND NO DX11!!!" and "CRYTEK, YOU STILL HAVE FANS!!! (Because TRUE funs sit there showering meaningless praise upon whatever the Devs output... yeah right.)" Firstly, stop. Secondly, pick up a copy of Crysis and Crysis Warhead here:

http://www.amazon.com/Electronic-Arts-40469Crysis-Crysis-Download/dp/B0047O2L2U/ref=sr_1_3?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1301249224&sr=1-3

http://www.amazon.com/Crysis-Warhead-Pc/dp/B001ATHKVC/ref=sr_1_4?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1301249251&sr=1-4

Play and beat them on the highest graphical settings then reconsider what a real Crysis fan is. Saying absolutely nothing is far worse then harshly criticizing because saying nothing results in nothing.

Because saying things like:

Crysis 2 looks amazing! I dont want DX11.
Really get's us all nowhere.

Of course, repeating the same criticisms while calling Crytek sellouts is just as nonconstructive as raining unrealistically high praise upon Crytek. The suggestions could have been managed in a more professional manner, yes, but getting really really peeved just means were stronger fans, right? I mean, the stronger you feel about something the higher your expectations are and the more vocal you're willing to be on an internet forum.

Anyway share your thoughts.

I think this topic will be deleted as it mentions that a dx11 patch may be out tomorrow, which judging by how tom is deleting any thread saying that, is false.

Just curious... was that a recent post, theone2030?

Dude, don't get my thread deleted, I really want to know if people are willing to forgive and forget Crytek so we can shut those "STOP WHINING" dolts up.

Maybe Cry_Tom will keep it around because it's less venomous then the other threads.

I'm over it. I enjoyed the game and life is moving on.

according to steam only 5% of players have DX11 capable video cards

so that 5% of the people are whining on the forums while the others are enjoying the game

I have a DX11 card, and i have played DX11 games, on Metro 2033, by enabling DX11, i might get better NPC models and some better shadows, but at a 20%-40% framerate drop

so if crytek releases DX11 i hope they do it right with not so much performance drop, or at least a notable improvement

how many of the rest 95% people on steam have crysis 2

i just quote some info from a dev @crytek it was not speculation or some site saying that it is info directly from people who work @crytek and he only says that they are working on it nothing more why cant we talk about ???

sorry to disturb your thread but the censorship in this site is outrageous

I've had a DX 11 card for around a year and a half now and i've yet to play a game that uses it, so i'm not fussy if Crysis 2 brings DX 11 or not, The game still looks lovely as it is now.

And to that last post, It's because the information said may not be acurate, so deleting these pointless posts avoids the playerbase being let down by something that isn't actualy happening.

There've been several games over the last year or so put out by EA where multiplatform releases see PC features delayed. Bad Company 2 and Dragon Age II both come to mind. BC2 started out with everyone screaming console port, but all the proper settings and DX11 features were added in. Wouldn't be a huge surprise to see DICE have to do something similar with Battlefield 3. Crytek is really trying to sell their engine, no way are they going to skimp on features for the engine's flagship game. They do still have to work under EA's publishing schedule though. Just have to be patient. Patience has always been a core component of PC gaming.

Of course, this thread is prolly going to be deleted shortly anyway.

great

it is happening why wouldn't they do it

20%*

It's funny, because I've been lurking and posting here a lot over this last week. And I hadn't seen much censorship about at all, even if it was thread after thread of people hating on the game.

Yet now they want a lock down over talk of DX11 on some employees twitter...

Not as of this February:

http://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/videocard/

It's almost 20%, (and climbing by 2% a month) while DX10 cards make up 70% (and falling by about 1% of month). I'd be willing to wager that of that 20%, most members of this forum fall in that category. Also, I'm assuming Crytek won't release another game for at least 2 years? By that time the percentage of DX11 capable cards could easily be 60% if not more.

I know its such an ugly game

Guys, stop talking so much about that guy on twitter, I don't want this closed.

Let me reiterate the premise of this thread:




Would would be willing to forgive Crytek?

Why do i have a suspicion that Crysis 2 will run like a turd with DX11 and won't look any or much better? Been there, seen that too often... Anytime we've seen an engine with later added extra goodies they were rubbish. Every single time. Be it DX10 or DX11.

I agree wholeheartedly.

BC2 had dx11 on launch day, that's not to say it didn't have a host of other problems when it dropped. However, the dx11 soft shadows were there on day one.

yes i have no problem with crytek a great company so far they are just having a bad time


just saying if @JD_2020 @fourzerotwo @DavidVonderhaar or @pcdev people who work for activision on the cod series say something about their games YOU CAN SHARE THAT on the officials forums and in steam and theres no problem at all this is not the only site where people talk about crysis 2

also people who says the game svcks and that regrets to have bought the game does more damage to the fanbase

Theone2030

You're missing the point.

I would not forgive Crytek and I'll tell you why. First, the story is completely broken and full of holes, there is no more Nomad or Psycho or Helena, just some new empty shell of a character called Alcatraz. The aliens of the first game have been completely forgotten, and they never reveal how they even stopped them in the first place. The gameplay has been damaged greatly, so many great abilities and features were discarded to appeal to a less patient and more simple minded audience, as well as fit perfectly on console controllers, while leaving us PC gamers with a ton of buttons that could be used to prone or lean or quicksave but instead will do nothing. No more aiming down sights with laser sights, no more holding enemies and weapons at the same time, no more first person driving, no more super fast sprinting, etc. I could go on and on but Crytek screwed up beyond repair on this one, a directx11 patch is not going to cut it.

well said!
i would also add the lack of 64bit support and the lack of sandbox3.

How they stopped Crysis 1 aliens? If you ever played on Crysis 1 multiplayer maps you would know...

Chinese, Australian, and American fleets joined forces and stopped the alines as they headed south. But by then they had already sent the signal to the far away galaxy and it was too late to stop the rest of the Ceph from awakening.

I dont care for dx11 support, people can play multiplayer using CRACK and they use infinite cloak /armor cheats
