CryTek never said the DirectX11 patch would be free.Serious.

Post » Thu Dec 31, 2009 2:58 am

Seeing how CryTek wants to charge $10 for a stupid map pack with only 4 maps (which were included in the leak anyway for free illegally), I was thinking: Do you think CryTek will actually charge us for the DirectX 11 patch? Given their new... ah, business "philosophy" under EA's dictatorship, I'm curious to know what the gamesas community thinks about this.

Reasons I suggest this is because CryTek has misled us in the past. Only 2 weeks before release, and they suddenly whisper, "Psst, just so you know, the final copy won't have DirectX11, we were just kidding, you'll have to wait months before we actually give it to you..."

And if you read the actual announcement for DirectX11, no where did they say it was going to be free. If this were the days of Crysis 1, then I would totally assume any patch or SDK would be free, but we're talking the NEW CryTek under EA.

What do you think?

All I know is that they are not seeing any more of my money. They can stick to making console exclusive games.

No point in paying for it when it can be pirated right? If you ask me these things should have been included in my the initial purchase of the game and the way things have been going I cant honestly say I would pay for it. The game is a huge disappointment and has scared me away from pre-ordering anything from Crytek again including any DLC. From now on I will wait to buy anything especially from Crytek and read reviews cause this COD with a nano suit fiasco wasn't worth it. If I knew then what I know now I would be 60 bucks richer.

You must be doing something wrong. There hasn't been a match yet where the hacker wasn't kicked. My buddy and I actually time how long it takes for the hacker to be kicked. The record is 4 seconds.

As for this BS about charging us for a DX11 patch, I think it's just that: ****. Just more PC gamers who want to cry, cry, cry about stuff with an added sense of paranoia. I really hate being a PC gamer when the rest of my peers cry more than those on the 360.

As for the DLC, let them charge for it if they want to! I remember people saying they wouldn't purchase MW2 and ended up getting it and all the DLC for it. You're a consumer, you don't need to bich about a product: Just don't purchase it. Also, HELLO!!! They are releasing an SDK for Crysis 2 over the summer.....

Also, do not forget that even though the first Crysis game sold tons of bananas, it was pirated to hell... people keep forgetting that. Look at the sales for Crysis 2: the 360 version is selling triple the times of the PC version. Crytek needs money to keep making games.. so... think about it with a brain not influenced by fanboyism. What really gets me is that all these people on this forum are still biching about Crytek and Crysis 2. Either they are still playing (and must be enjoying the game) or they really love to bich.

Sure Crysis 1 was pirated almost everything can be, but nowadayz they can DRM things and reduce the amount of piracy greatly. If you like the game and play it you should support the maker by purchasing their products which I for one don't have a problem with at all. But I think some of these things shouldn't be charged for DX11 and maps why? Shouldn't they be included in the initial cost of the game? Thats like buying a new car and then having to pay extra for the engine.

This isn't true. Historically games that have had heavier DRM's have been pirated MORE. SPORE is a good example of this, over 1 million copies of that game were pirated. When Ubisoft tried to do their ridiculous online only DRM it was cracked in less than 24 hours of its release.

The only acceptable forms of DRM are CD in tray checks and CD Key registration online. As to the matter of this thread; it had better be free or else Crytek will lose its entire PC fanbase.

Then they were like "Oh hey in this new patch, we've corrected against cheaters!" .... And they actually didn't. To this day, I still see BOOMIJUSTSHOTYOU crawling around servers. Same with Fujiroko, and H4X_CRYTEKPROGRAMMER.

And if you read the actual announcement for DirectX11, no where did they say it was going to be free. If this were the days of Crysis 1, then I would totally assume any patch or SDK would be free, but we're talking the NEW CryTek under EA.

They say "DirectX 11 patch" not "DirectX 11 DLC" ! If they said "DirectX 11 DLC", then we would expect that it would cost, but "DirectX 11 patch", means it's free, because patches are free.

Thank nvidia. They paid Crytek a couple of mills so that you fools who actually bought this console port could get a less console port(ish) experience. Crytek's not gonna charge anyone.

Uhm... game with multiplatform engine can't be a port, since multiplatform engine allow source code of game to work on more than one platform in same real time without making any changes in source code.
Console port it is a game sole made for console and then game engine of this game is recoded to work with PC platform, which never happened to Crysis 2 since it has multiplatform engine.


@Topic
DX11 it is a patch not DLC, they also didn't say that 1.2/1.4 patches will be free, and yet you didn't pay.

This thread is quite pointless.

Yeah, well I'm sorry. What I ment was that this game was fully designed for consoles. Controls, graphics, maps, multiplayer, all of it. I usually consider games like that console ports.

We would like to announce that there will be a DX11 patch released for Crysis 2. We are working to get the best out of DX11, so we’ll wait to announce the features until a little closer to release.


Patch = Free

Controls? Do PC gamers are forced to play on Pad's? NO. Do you play C2 better on Pads or on K/M? I think K/M is plsuhing Pad users down the toilet ;)
Graphic.. umm nope, only thing changed because of consoles are textures and particles (they were made in cheaper way) and they reduced destruction, but at some point there is even more destruction in C2 than C1 had, other than that graphic is better in most of aspects that this from C1.
Map are small, but they still can be 2 times larger than largest map which we have now, so those maps which we have now it was developers idea not forced decision.
Multiplayer? Umm.. i don't get this part, what is wrong here?

If anything we can say that game was "consolized" in some aspects, but not a "console port".

Why do I even bother to argue with you, when you obviously don't know what you're talking about?
Controls?
Maximum Speed was completely removed. Now it's just a bit faster from sprint and consumes energy
Maximum Strenght, yeah remember that one? Oh look gone too.
That leaves us with max armor, and cloak. 2 buttons, perfect for controllers L2 and R2.
It takes 3 times longer to aim than it did in C1. (Less responsive)

Graphics?
Are you fcking kidding me? Crysis 1 was released 4 years ago, and it looks better than this (it even has DX10, which everyone got when the game was released) There also was a 64bit version. ALOT more graphics options in C1 while in C2 you had 3 options(lol). Exaggerated lighting in C2 to make up for the awful textures. Crysis looks alot better and has graphics mods that make the game look at some points photo-realistic.

Maps?

Small and very linear. C1 they were big. Try enabling dev mode in both games, you fly around in C2 and you see that the buildings have no roofs and there's no ground anywhere, except on the path of the linear map and stuff like that. Tell me at what point was there more destruction than in C1? In C1 you could literally tear down a whole village, take down the houses with your fists, piece by piece with realtime destruction and shoot the trees.. It was a very responsive world, while in C2 the biggest thing you could do was to shoot at a wall and see concrete falling (at some parts of some maps)

Multiplayer?

Ever heard of a POWER STRUGGLE? HUGE maps, with with over 32 people. Epic vehicles, cars, boats, V-Tols(airplanes), helicopters, light tanks, heavy tanks. Large variety of weapons. Even Nuclear weapons.

I suggest that you go and buy Crysis 1 and see what I'm talking about.
Jesus Christ... New people on these forums are always ready to argue about Crysis 2.
Seriously drop the fanboyism and just open your eyes.

I'm not saying that Crysis 2 is a bad game. It just didn't live up to Crysis 1 that set the bar really high for PC games.

Ok here is the Specs from the back of the box (retail)

Crysis 2 Optimum System Requirements

CPU: Intel Core i5 3.1Ghz, AMD Phenom II X6 1055T or better
GPU: NVidia GTX 560 Ti, ATI 6850 or Dual graphics cards
RAM: 4GB
DX: 11
Shader: 4.0
OS: Windows 7
Frame Rate Target: 30fps@1920x1200


I am set and ready I meet the above requirements. I am set up ready to go... money sunk into a video card that I can dry my hair with. Not to mention the power this thing draws could supply a small village in Guam.

This is there optimal settings not mine why would they list it if they can not meet it.

This is what was bought I am not paying anymore. I will wait since I have no choice :)

Nuff said
