I actually completely agree with what everything the OP said. Cryfukinengine 1.5 100%. If you people dont notice or see what the OP said then you either A. havent played Crysis 1,warhead & crysis 2. B. your in denial. C. you think a "god" patch will happen. D. You just rather svck crytek dike then bich

Some good port example:

Batman AA
Just Cause 2
AC:B

Some examples of BAD port"

DS1
DS2
Bulletstorm
DA2


Do u see a pattern...all of them are EA games..... I dont think I will buy from EA except for BF series

Don't forget about Capcom. They might be the most console-style dev out there, but they write all their games for the PC first, then port them to consoles. The last Devil May Cry runs amazing on PC's and natively supports eyefinity/surround even centering the HUD on the middle screen. It's the best beat-em up console game I've ever had the pleasure to play on my PC.

true I throughly enjoyed DMC4....and I was blown away by the graphics

While the OP is near nerd rage I do agree on some points he has made. Actually almost all of them.

Heck, give me the dx10/dx11 update, the cryengine 3 sandbox and I'll see if it can handle the same stuff cryengine 2 could.

I find the weak use of lightning disturbing in crysis 2. I remember Farcry being one of the first dx9 games that actually made lights so interactive that I started drooling (not literally). Then in crysis (1) I found many fun things to do on the editor and was dreaming about cryengine3. Now I run into a lamp and apart from a really unrealistic glow and blinding effect (I actually know how my eyes are effected in real world and I don't see that glow nowhere) I hardly can move them. 130kg man running into a lamp? surely it stands just there. OH OH you want to punch it over? sorry but its programmed to burst into little pieces. make some hanging lights for gods sake and then when there is a shake make them shake! its great for ambiance you know.. also when the sun gets blocked by rising .. i dont know.. earth (anybody who finished the game knows what i mean) please make it cast a shadow on the city... its really REALLY disappointing that this hasn't happened.

Yes lets make an game engine with IRL graphics that only the top 1% PC specs can run and go bankrupt ..... **** idiots

Graphics are good enough , just need a working game with fun and good game play that works on a wide range of PCs , why would any one want any different. Not some **** benchmark that you can mastvrbate over.

BENCHMARK THIS :



fail logic.

ya instead of making additional features and graphics modes which promote longevity and popularity of a video game (ie: crysis 1), lets just give them high/very high/extreme so people with **** pcs like yourself will not get upset that they cant run it on the highest settings. You are right, limiting features so **** like yourself dont get butthurt is a great idea.

**** off retard.

It's not the engine that's the problem it's that Crysis 2 doesn't utilize the power of the gngine.

Almost any Engine has unlimited potential with unlimited hardware.

I can't believe he said graphics are good enough WTF! There is no game where the graphics are good enough all games fail! All CG in movies fails to some extent and games are playing catch up to that. Except now they're going backwards.

Unreal 3 demo is better will be a huge improvement when we reach that but still there is plenty of room for improvement after that. It's imperitive that we live behind consoles though because they are just standing still on the same hardware now. When they refreshed occasionally it wasn't so bad but now it's just a disgrace when dev's even so much as thinking about giving us a console port

I run it maxed out , you just assumed i had a **** pc and totally missed the point.

So

Yeah well this is pretty typical of people with crappy spec hardware. They feel butthurt when they can't max the game out and maintain FPS, so instead of realizing the truth and reducing a few settings and turning off AA, they instead call the game "un-optimised". They love C2 and think it's "optimised" better because now they can run the max setting. If they actually had used the true power of Cry Engine 3, the "extreme" setting would actually be LOW and the higher settings would make it a true PC game and have idiots like the guy above calling it "un-optimised"

You svck! Many people can run DX11 not our fault if you can't.

An OP that doesn't have an idea what he's talking about. The textures aren't half the resolution because of engine limitations, it's not even console limitations as it can just run them at a lower texture detail. A better, and more rational guess to why it's like it is, is because of file size limits. The game already weighs in a 9.2GB which is pushing the limits of a dual layer DVD.

DirectX versions impact very little since in Crysis 1, the only feature that was exclusive to DX10 was per-object motion blur.

The rest of the nonsensical rant is more to do with the game, which yet again is nothing to do with the engine.

That makes no sense troll, never said i had a problem running any crysis.

very true...........first they say they can run eveything maxed out on 1080p so their is no reason to upgrade. And when a game comes out that they cant max out, they label it as un-optimized.

There was a jackass on these forums who claimed he could max out crysis on on gts 450 and still get 45 fps

Almost any Engine has unlimited potential with unlimited hardware.
Sadly this is not true just like that. The source engine gets rewritten nonstop so that it can keep up (barely). The source engine what it was back when HL2 came out is not the same engine L4D2 uses. While HL2 was practically DX8 when it comes to lightning L4D2 is somewhere near farcry.
I once had an argument over which engine is better as it is and a guy voted source since it supports ray-tracing with radiocity.. at the speed of 8hours per frame. Technically, yes, practically it was far from being better.

I call unoptimized a game that can't run a crossfire without bug or fps downgrade ----------> COD7 and Crysis 2.....

unoptimized is a kind of catch all word. used at all sauce for anything. much like when they market a LCD screen with "vibrant" colors. WTH is a vibrant color ?

LOL HDTV marketing is a whole other can of BS to be opened.

I facepalmed so hard to your post that now my hand is going to hurt for 2 weeks. Games graphics or physics are not utilizing FULL power of the cryengine 3. The cryengine 3 is A LOT better than cryengine 2.[/quote]

Haha like some comments below, is it better? really? How u Know? U work at crytek ? U develop the engine? no.

I base my opinions on what i see, do i see better gfx? No, do i see beter physics? no.

Learn me how u can defend an engine while u haven't seen any footage of the ' super awesome amazing tech in game.) The only game on the engine atm is crysis 2. And the gfx on it are not better as Crysis 1 ( ce2)

If u say they look better as c1 i think there aren't enough facepalms on Inet to cover it.

1-Crysis 2 was made simultaneously GROUND UP ON EVERY PLATFORM. There is no such thing as porting on CryEngine 3. It's a big key feature.

2-Xbox 360 CAN handle AA and even a tad bit of tesselation (not immensly though). Motion blur and HDR are in the game because they look good. Don't like them? Console commands/autoexec.cfg files ftw.

3-CryEngine 3 was NOT dumbed down. It's the same thing as CryEngine 2 but heavily optimized. FYI, Crysis 1 is a VERY BADLY optimized game >_> CryEngine 3 actually has more features than CryEngine 2, but we need to wait untli DX11 OR next generation graphics to see it's true graphics.

Troll harder.

LOL you see what you just said there.. yeah this KEY FEATURE that is only a selling point to the people using the SDK to make their games. It saves them time from having to port the game from their lead platform. Time saved = less pent = more monies for them.

But what happens when you make all 3 versions at once? Yeah the PC version is identical to the Xbox version.

Sure it's not a port in the literal use of the word, but what do you call it then? I call it a rip-off.

Ask Crytek CEO Cevat Yerli what he thinks of console-tech. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVsT4D2_VTI&feature=player_embedded

While I'm not a huge fan of Crysis 2. If you go to Crytek's website, click on CryEngine and check out the pics of Cryengine 3 they are quite pretty. I'm sure the engine is more than capable but we wont see anything cool like that because of the **** consoles and their piss poor childish users.

I just want Power Struggle back. Is that so much to ask?

I just want Power Struggle back. Is that so much to ask?

Maybe they will add it !! ......................... As dlc ofcourse..

Does the OP even know what he's talking about? Why judge Cryengine 3 from Crysis 2? Haven't you seen the tech demos? There is SOO many improvements over Cryengine 2 they are uncountable. Just because Crysis 2 doesn't make the best of it due to consoles, doesn't meant that engine is crap.

You svck! Many people can run DX11 not our fault if you can't.
Going by steam's hardware usage stats (found here: http://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/videocard/) Seems like only 20% have DX11 class cards. Granted this list only consists of steam users who participate in the survey and that number is rising.

So take from that what you will.. But my guess is not enough DX11 hardware out there to warrant delaying the game.
