*** New crysis 2 screenshots ***

Think a lot of people forget how much harder it is to optimise a game for pc's
all the different configs and multiple set-ups having to cater for different resolution aa,af, dx 9,10,11 it costs a fortune hate to say it but i think unless the pc gaming market picks up over the next couple of years we'll just keep getting console ports
at the end of the day thats where most profit is made

high GPU prices = less units sold, knock on effect to industry less budgeting for fears of a failing market
low gpu prices = more units sold,greater profit knock on effect more development for the pc user

being able to buy a ps3/360 for what seems like pennies these days dosen't help i mean at least when i get a game for my ps3 i don't have to worry if my whole system is upto spec to play it or if it likes nvidia over ati.

But pc games look sooooo much better than console i hate ps3 not having any decent form of AA. Even on my 50 inch plasma i think mw2 looks like utter poo (hence why i sold it)

I think if they optimise cryengine 3 very well we could see some great future games as long as it's a good engine for users with all types of set-ups.

I mainly want to see more custom settings instead of just clicking high or very high!!!

P:S i just played crysis on my old 2600xt (4870 died yesterday) on low setting dx9c looked fairly ok to me to be honest better than most of my ps3 games 34FPS ain't to bad either.
 
crysis 1 images looked amazing before it was out, but then when released it didnt look like the amazing screen shots back then, hope its not the same case again lol
 
Screens are touched up for every game, go on gamespot and look at the screens for crap games like Army of Two, Kane & Lynch etc - they're all blatantly doctored and handed down by the PR teams. It's also funny how they ONLY use those shots now, like they're not allowed to show real ingame shots. And people wonder why nobody trusts reviewers anymore.
 
Doctored or not visually Crysis 1 nevermind 2 is significantly better than MW2, there is no contest...it also has useful Physics effects with no PhysX in sight, as opposed to smoke or what not.

What's worse is you get companies like Square mixing CG with real-time graphics in their videos making it difficult to see what the game actually looks like unless you take the time to properly analyse the individual scenes.

Yeah. It's disgusting that reviews - even when they're released months after the game is available - use PR shots handed to them rather than taking their own screenshots. This was particularly noticeable with Left 4 Dead where a lot of the "screenshots" featured the old character models. I mean, seriously? Clearly such reviews can't be taken seriously if they can't be bothered going to the effort of taking a few screenshots themselves.

I'll get excited about the graphics of Crysis 2, when Crysis 1 can run at 100 FPS.

You need to define what resolution and what level of detail for this to make any sense. Do you mean average, min or max fps?

For example I get on average over 100fps in 1080p with 8xAA on Very High - looking at the floor though :D
 
I don't trust any reviewers anymore so many of them take cash and say what they are told to say i wait till the games are reduced and i can read user comments so much better. Last time i didn't do that was ETW and look how that turned out lol.
 
100fps in Crysis is overkill.

At very high settings, the motion blur used by the engine is pretty high quality (for video games) hence even at 30fps it looks pretty smooth. At 60fps Crysis seems nauseatingly smooth.
 
Motion blur might make it look smooth - but its still going to feel just as laggy to respond... 33+ms alone @ 30fps before you take other factors like vsync, mouse input delay, panel delay, etc. into account.

Anyone who thinks thats acceptable has never played games like the quake and unreal series, call of duty, etc. or has a really low sensitivity to it (or is one mad camper in MP).
