In my opinion there are worse things than some stupid textures = broken multiplayer, hackers, and loads of bugs.
Although i do care that we should be delivered the promise of dx10/11 in the near future, arguing over who has the best graphics when zooming on a leaf is plain stupid =/

Agreed. You graphic whores need to get your priorites straight. There is so many **** bugs which need to be fixed first (like losing nano catalyst in single player).

Unfair comparison because you dont have crysis 1 completely maxed out, and even then it STILL looks better. The lighting especially is so much more advanced in crysis 1, crysis 2 has very simple and ugly lighting. Also the buildings look like plastic. And physics? Absolute garbage in crysis 2, wooden boxes are indestructible and even a simple kiosk doesn't fall apart even if you fire a rocket at it. Just accept it man, crysis 1 is still the most technologically advanced game to date. End of story.

Ohhhh, so the soup cans in Crysis 1 are lower res then the Marines in Crysis 2? I was not expecting that...

Seriously though, a zoom in of reloading the Scar's grenade launcher attachment compared to like, a rock in Crysis 1? Doesn't really constitute a good comparison. You have to compare similar things in both games. The final release of Crysis 2 looks surprisingly lower detail then the development images.

The only things that might be better are Marine/Cell uniforms, and weapons.

Crysis, the first one, had better detail textures then Crysis 2 hands down. I mean, look at this:

It actually looks like a step back from the months old prerelease screenshots:

The final game:

Remember that train station trailer that was released like... months ago? Particularly the part when he kicks the door down? And the plasma mortars flying over the glass ceiling?

Did it look anything as good in the final game? No, and keep in mind that trailer was released 8 months ago. What were they doing for 8 months?

I don't see why you all believe crysis 2 looks better, It's just polished. I like the way it looks but crysis 2 did look alot better, OP you can't just pick the worst textures of a game and compare them to the best of another, I don't show a picture of a blurred out cow then put another non covered one next to it.

^What he said.

A Closeup of a SCAR reloading it's grenade launcher will of course have higher res textures then... A soup can, no matter which two games are being compared. The ground in Crysis 2 doesn't look as good as the Ground in Crysis 1 because the textures are lower res.

Thank god someone on this forum with some logic! People ignore the amazing lighting and shadows being cast all over the place, crazy detail all over, etc and find like a mailbox without a bump-map and start screaming CONSOLE PORT!

Crysis 2 looks amazing! I dont want DX11. DX11 does not magically make a game good, artists and coders do. If we get it sure it will be nice, but its no biggie.

OP must be retarded. Notice how they got 100+ FPS? Obviously it's not on max settings retard.

LOL i have 2 480 SLI OC 980x@4.4ghz and pics are close to wall so naturally FPS will go up

Idiot

Name threads where I've talked about graphics. If you look around, you'll see I never have commented. Really, I'm just tired of all the whining about them as if they're 8 bit or something. So yes, I'm infecting this thread 'with my BS' because I'm sick of people like you or the others ranting on Crysis 1 having better graphics than this game.

The bugs are the problems that we should be really whining about to Crytek!

misssread

Name threads where I've talked about graphics?
You're either stupid or so arrogant you think the world revolves around you or have a serious case of ADD read again

I did not make this thread in your behalf

I never claimed that you did idiot. Like I said, I'm tired of you dikes just biching about the graphics all the time. Therefore, I gave my opinion in my original post.

EDIT: The reason I said that statement you cherry picked was to show that this is my first time commenting on the whole thing.

actually Kaibah i miss understood and im an idiot...sorry
got confused with who i was talking about becasue when you quoted it had the other guys name

It's ok. At least you acknowledge you had made a mistake. There are many people out there who have such huge egos they wouldn't even do that.

Just to be clear, that's a compliment. =]

Yea no ego really i just get annoyed with all "experts" talking down about the graphics/lighting on crysis 2 and when in fact crysis vanilla was pretty much the same if not better. allot have been playing modded version for so long seriously lost touch with what it looked like originally.
That was the whole purpose of this thread not that that's all that important

And i agree the game has bugs

water under the bridge

Of course Crysis 2 looks better. Its 4 years newer xD. People who say its worse just dont understand nothing and are very narrow-minded. Probably because they got disappointed about something else and everything just seems bad for them now.

Yes Jatriix, that must be it.

One Gunner, how about we play a little game, you take a screenshot of a texture in Crysis 2, and I (and hopefully others) will respond with similar examples from Crysis or Warhead. Whoever comes up with the highest number of better looking images wins. Must be texture, and not lighting based images.

Yeah, but this thread is about textures silly goose. There are other threads YOU ignored when those same people that understandably criticized the textures (including myself) were quick to turn around and mention the impressive lighting and HDR effects.

Also, the bump mapped mailbox was the thing the guy that took the picture said was good, it was the street sign with appx. 17.3 pixels in it that made it look like a console port, because when your sitting 10 feet away from your screen, 17.3 pixels looks good.

Crysis 2 looks amazing! I dont want DX11.
Oh.

Are you sure? I mean, it makes things look better. The only 'not biggie' here is that they could have spent another few days implementing DX11. The game actually looked better 8 months ago in that Central Station trailer when the guy fights the pinger, maybe they had DX11 back then.

DX11 does not magically make a game good, artists and coders do. If we get it sure it will be nice, but its no biggie.
Right, unless they promise it to entice people to buy it, and then not hold true to their promise. Also, that's kinda like saying it's not the materials that makes art good, it's the artist, even when he's using crayon and finger paint to sculpt Michelangelo's David.

Not sure if troll or just very stupid.

This isn`t only about graphics comparsion between C1 & C2 , people are angry about the promisses & lies of Crytek , PC users used to trust Crytek`s promisses before the 25th march . They broke the greatest promise.
C2 won`t be a port from console it will be port to console . What people got is console port.SO put this screens comprasion into your ass.Nobody have ever seen DX11 screenshots from C2,so people don`t expect it to be DX11 based game. And don`t forget Microsoft made a deal with Crytek back then when C1 came out to make more sales on Vista , so DX9 was limited ,instead of pushing DX9 to it`s maximum they`ve made a DX10. So to me this grafics you show on screens could be made in time of C1.What i want to see is Crysis DX11 based and not damn Console Port which it is.Screw Crytek

my head exploded out of rage, you write like a 10 year old

Can I just leave this here?

LOL, Well, he did convincingly prove the soup cans in Crysis 1 are lower resolution then the SCAR in Crysis 2.

crysis 2 has better gi that makes frame look realistic and has more bloom on pc which give it an illusion of being better pc..........just tricks.....and bad textures
