I have a lot of confidence that its just console and that PC will look a lot better but Ive been hearing a ton of talk that its PC. What do you guys think?

It looks worse than the original game. It has to be Xbox 360 or something is definitely wrong.

Well, I'm asking this mostly because of the comments in this youtube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNhjS-QPHdI&hd=1

Note that the title and description actually said that it was xbox but the amount of comments saying it was PC caused the video maker to change it.

This fanboy was bragging that the PC version of Crysis 2 svcked compaired to killzone 3. He posted this video and a killzone video. Thing was, I couldnt prove that it was console since there was no obvious indications(buttons, etc)

imho it's filmed on a pc at console settings.

Looking at the 60fps source video, a few people (on iC) have said that there is definitely a change on each frame (which means that it wasn't filmed at 30fps and then afterwards had the framerate doubled). This supports the idea that the trailer was at least "filmed" on the PC.

Looking at other visual effects, though, there are things that suggest that it's console footage (low draw distance in some areas) and object-based motion blur that looks a lot like the dx9 r_motionblur 5 setting in the original crysis.

I'm guessing that the trailer is pretty darn close to console settings (which is amazing, considering how good the game looked in the trailer), but not as good-looking as I can imagine the PC version at max settings to be.

Just my 2c.

I wouldn't trust youtube comments. I highly doubt most of them even played the original. Anyone who has played the original on high settings or higher could tell you that this looks worse. A lot worse.

Well, pretty much all footage and hands-on playtime up to this point has been PC footage with console settings, so I'm inclined to believe that they have not changed from that.

That's not to say consoles will look that good, or PC will look that bad, so it's kind of a nebulous middleground.

PC set to medium-high, or something.
A.K.A - What the consoles will look like.

Once you see Very High Crysis 2 footage, you'll know

Its console footage, what else could it be?

It looks way worse than the Be The Weapon trailer and even that was Xbox360 footage.. Everything looks really jaggied, plastiky, and insanely low poly. There has not been a single second of Crysis 2 on the PC in its whole developmental process.

The 3D trailer has been confirmed to be realtime on the PC:

Is that confirmed to be very high settings? Cus it looks super good.

P.S. Thanks to everyone for the comments. I knew it was just console footage.

ZOMG thats AWESOME. I thought it was pre-renderd.

And that was at E3 so it probably looks better now right?

Oh cool. It could be PC rendered at console specs though... I think PC version can still push out much better graphics than that, it still looks like console there, and it looks be running at a very low framerate. Looks like the PC rendered at console specs stuff we have been told time and time again.

That forum post was really useful btw. Thank you for that. It has a lot of comments from the devs in it.

Maybe I should just start hanging out there now....

Dude, it's 8+ months old.

And so everyone knows, Crytek don't prerender anything. They like their engine
Well, maybe in shots like this the suit (and suit only) are prerendered: http://h-1.abload.de/img/2100627j1s3.jpg
That shot was 11+ months ago.

All the PC-AT-CONSOLE-SPECS videos so far look worse than this, low res textures + tons of jaggies, and this is from E3 so it could be improved by now.
And you can't say anything about the frame rate by looking at a youtube video , EVER :/

None so far.

If it's PC footage, it's a no buy on the grounds it looks **** compared to crysis 1. So it's definitely console.

That trailer looks pretty good to me :

If that is realtime graphics then colour me impressed. I really can't see the consoles doing scenes with all that complexity at a decent resolution.

Really? *MEDIC! THIS MAN IS IN SERIOUS NEED OF AN IV DRIP WITH CRYSIS WARHEAD ON ENTHUSIAST!*

Seriously, 30fps @ 720p and those graphics are nothing thats going to blow anyones mind who has played crysis

Ermm, I just got through enthusiastically PAX'in that big red hunter on the Airstrip not 2 days ago. ;D

indeed ^^ still, i've not seen anything on consoles that i've thought 'nothing 2 years of optimization wouldn't have done'. Crysis 2 on consoles is basically crysis-lite

I have been trying to squeeze some info outta the community team to no avail but thinking about it, the game should run on consoles like it did on PC set to low/medium. Lower textures, lower draw distance, lower physics, less POM, less advanced effects. These are all things that I hope will scale on PCs.

In that trailer there is a lot of stuff going on. The environments are quite dense with lots of rubble, abandoned cars, street furniture, smoke, lighting effects, sunrays, foliage, specular highlights on the suit, rain, accurate reflections in the puddles, decent textures on the roads etc. If the console can pull that off then it bodes well for the PC

My opinion is the only thing that they couldn't scale would be the size of the environments in Crysis. People say they could be streamed but in Crysis the huge environments were fully interactive - what I mean is, you could look down on a village from a hill half a mile away and use the binocs to scope out all the soldiers in the compound. I can't see that happening on the eggs box

Can′t cry-tom or anyone of the crytek crew confirm to us wether the movie was pc or console footage? I mean they must know
