How come we dont see this feature being used in Crysis 2 because it seems that most of the characters are covered with mask ,do you think that this feature will be use ??

cause its pc only
and no pc footage has really been shown

The wall trailer displays xbox footage and the faces of the soldiers look fine

All pre-Alpha material shouldn't be judged so quickly. Recent gaming footage like the new trailer is testament to that. Though, I honestly don't know if its console or pc footage.

fine?!?! u sir must have not played Crysis, let me enlighten you that is a good face. the wall trailer on the other hand...(and i soo hope that is because its not finished yet and/or its 360 footage or somthing....)

yes, 'fine', not excellent, but decent. If i said 'zomg awesome!' then feel free to correct me, but how is the second picture worse than say, halo or cod?

It's Good compared to other games on consoles.

you can't compare crysis with call of duty or halo because these games are popular for their multiplayer wich you can't and probably don't want to compare with crysis

skip to 00:28 for epic face graphics!

Notice how all the nice looking bits say "next gen ready" at the bottom right? I'd say they're the PC graphics

Yeah, the face scene is on the PC

going from the first 'next gen ready' (PC) scene to 'xbox 360' made me lol. it really did.

The characters look fine we have seen mostly Xbox 360 footage
which has great graphics it just does'nt compare to the pc though!

Do you think we'll be able to see such character models in Crysis 2 ,tnx

Meaning in the console version ??

I see the Killzone 3 new trailer and i've a question ;

Will Crysis 2 have realistic character, without armor or helmet, like a general or other guy ?

The game is going on really fast and the faces are really nice in my opinion, and i don't think that they will downgrade the graphic for the pc in the second chapter ^^

Personally, I'd like... Well, actually realistic characters. A lot of the characters in Crysis 1 were bland and or shallow. Would be pretty cool to have characters with depth that might inspire interest if not actual caring.

Hopefully with the new story writer this can be achieved.

Yes sir ,in the console

ever play heavy rain? that is a true showing of how console faces can truly look.

How faces can look is pretty much entirely dependant on the engine. The ps3 should be able to handle somewhat decent all around graphics at 720p, but small environments like in heavy rain can definitely lead to very good graphics (again at that 720p threshold).

We should be seeing heavy rain faces on PC in environments as big as crysis. Wait...oh! We do! It's called crysis (hehe, well, the facial animation is a little worse, but hey, it was 2007)

I agree. The Wall trailer is awesome, but the graphics are just... crap. Gah... Crysis 2 is beginning to look less like a good, unique game and more like a marketing stunt with the attitude of:

"Screw the customers. Make as much money as possible."

I bought Crysis 1. It is awesome, and it looks like the developers who made it really cared about making it good.

wtf? you really are gonna compare a ultra high setting picture on what looks like a pretty good computer, and compare it to a picture that is not only pre-alpha, but probably in the earliest stages of pre alpha? that is one cheapass comparison. what about the faces in the cryengine 3 trailer, they look pretty fine-tuned, dont they? im sure crysis 2 will not only have really nice looking faces, but really nice characters underneath them. something the crysis 1 writers never could pull off

Well, if you read what he was replying to:

The Comfy Chair was referring specifically to the faces of The Wall trailer, and not necessarily those of the CryEngine 3. And, by extension, so was monkeyslayer56. And also, mokeyslayer56 said...

"i soo hope [the bad faces] is because its not finished yet and/or its 360 footage or somthing...."

Therefore, your argument is invalid.

The characters are fine maybe its not the games svcking
but the **** gamers svcking they are so bichy about
everything sometimes i wonder if these people have lives
outside of the game cause there obviously so damn dependent
on it along time ago people did'nt even care about graphics or
characters cause they had REAL friends and people they knew
life has better graphics anyway that can't be matched want
graphics? go fishing there pretty realistic with all that money
you spent on your PC you could have done something better
its a game like it or don't like it, just don't ruin it for everyone else
i think its fine the way it is and will have fun playing it no matter
how much of a "Complicated story it has" <=== pfff LOL?

They showed some other videos after the wall trailer with faces in it and they were much improved. I would say don't worry about "bad" faces because this game will have far superior graphics than most games. I have been blown away by the crazy graphics and that was graphics on the X360, so on PC it will be much better.

I prefer the characters wearing masks rather than nothing at all, it would just look stupid.
