LOL, it's so real, I can practically TASTE Cryteks' noodles in my mouth.

Am I the only one that was not impressed vissually by Crysis maxed out?
Far cry blew me away more when I first played it. Crysis just looks plain to me. At least Crysis 2 may not have as high res textures but it still has nicer effects/colors etc going on as a whole. Runs great on most machines which is a first.

I guess this is just an opinion but to say it is 100% inferior because some textures are half the resolution...seems ridiculous to me

Can I just leave this here?

It's on some random blog on the internet so it must be true.

Well, side by side images are kind of hard to argue with, aren't they?

Have you played the first Crysis at all? On the highest settings?

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.

let me start by saying no im not quoting half a page on your random BS pvssyr

what did you go looking at my post history this went back a bunch of pages how else would you have found it
...little envy
BTW nice texture comparison seen that a few days ago how do we know these are vanilla textures and not from a MOD. Im too lazy to look.
Even if they are not from mod i never said all textures in the game were bad i said they both use **** textures

dont waist your time BTW i proved they are textures from a mod

THANK YOU for this thread. People are overrating Crysis 1. I think I know why now. They are just pissed off fanboys unhappy that the console versions come close to the good visuals. I mean Crysis 2 PC still looks superior but yeah, the consoles look good, but people don't want to expect it.

So they get nitpicky, ignore improvements to graphcis (the so little there are), and focus on the negatives. I mean once the patches and updates finish coming, their mouths will be shut.

Oh,



You do realize your looking down the pistol scope in Crysis? It really doesn't really help your case. Try harder not to flatter yourself next time, if your familiar with bookmarking then you would know how easy it is to recall pages, knowing you would eventually respond with something completely wrong, I had already prepared a response to what I knew you were going to say.

Also, no, that grass is not from a mod, it's vanilla material. Proof here:

In this one forum alone there are multiple threads of people that were able to unpack the high res textures that are already present on the Crysis 2 disk, but for whatever reason were not made active for the commercial PC version.

Don't 'waist' your time doing what? LOL, providing pointless speculation on a factual comparative? Did you even read the image description? I'm not sure if your options are set up correctly, or if your prone and zooming in on the ground in Crysis, but it definitely says thats the Crysis 1 grass texture in Crysis 2

So they get nitpicky, ignore improvements to graphcis (the so little there are), and focus on the negatives. I mean once the patches and updates finish coming, their mouths will be shut.
Actually Silent, this thread is about textures, so... I mean, other threads already touch on all other points, so does this thread about textures need to have, HDR and lighting comparatives in it?

Our mouths might be shut when they update with the features that should have been included in the final commercial release version (except for all the other bugs this game has that aren't graphical). But the fact that people HERE are already able to unlock the higher res textures and features that are already on the disk but not active is, well, it's just bad. Even if EA games said: "Hey, we need the PC version done tomorrow.", Crytek would have been able to switch on the features ALREADY ON the disk pretty easily methinks, maybe like in 3 minutes?

Or just revert to an earlier build that did have the higher res textures in them.

Wait wut? Are you trolling? Those leaves in crysis 1 look better than any close up texture in crysis 2 released YEARS after the first one. This game is a failboat.


Seriously... did you guys do your research? They took crysis 1 textures into Crysis 2 and made it 1/2 textures.

They are the same BUT just 1/2 and not FULL texture at high res. They dumbed it down for performance wise.

I wouldn't complain but yes Crysis 1 always gonna dominate

LOL, even when they do eventually patch this game and make the Crysis 2 textures finally equal to the Crysis 1 textures, then you're still left with the problem of a 4 year old game having equally high resolution textures as a brand new game that was basically designed for DX11 untill it was deactivated late in development.
