In all honesty for a DX9 game the demo looks quite nice and my aging 8800GTS has no problem running it on the middle default setting however I want to spend £200 on a DX11 GPU but whats the point if its not going to get used?
Also, how can a game that is released 4 years after its previous version not look as good? 4 whole years and we've gone backwards in gaming tech and why? Well we all know why, the money is in the consoles and that is that. Even the suit has been console raped so the kids can get to grips with it, and its no exactly rocket science in Crysis in the first
If it doesnt ship with DX11 I wont be buying it as i'm still get a new GPU regardless, as soon as it has DX11 functionality i'll buy it
It's a totally different style of game tho it's not all pretty trees and beaches anymore. i mean how nice can yo umake a rooftop or pier look.
if they'd have still used the open environment from crysis and warhead people would still moan.
inevitably crysis 2 was and always will be one of those games that can't win,
Why because lets put it into perspective.
crysis release it crippled practically everyones system, made it alomost unplayable for a lot of users, 3 years later were finally getting the tech to play it maxxed out with decent frame rates.
move forward and crysis 2 is upon us and everyone is moaning.Why you asked, for the exact opposite reason they were moaning years ago. Now the game dosen't cripple their system it automatically sucks.
Personally i think the multiplayer demo is rater tasty, especially when you get to level 5 and can customize your gear. The holo projector is a great piece of kit and i've often found myself on the receiving end of it. The graphics while no crysis warhead are still good and suit the multiplayer environment fine. TBH how many people will play multiplayer in DX 11 if there getting sub 30 FPS i won't be thats for sure.
Crytek knew no matter what they did they would be hard pressed to surpass the original crysis. And ultimately they are a company set on a goal of making profits. Make a multiplatform game from the same engine without having to change or have seperate dev teams and your on to a money spinner.
It all makes sense and i'm still getting it, i'm not going to simply shun a game out the door based on 1 multiplayer demo that tbh a lot of forum member who tried it and said **** it after 1 match really have problems. Like i said it comes into it's own at level 5.
A guy earlier was on about stealth suit and camping for kills. That is not a problem in crysis 2 because you can simply press the N key and use your nano vision to highlight stealthed enemies, you can also use locators beacon or map blip(when enemies stealth they show for a few seconds on your radar) sorry i can't remember the in game names for the items
I've really enjoyed it and gave my honest opinion, if you don't like it you know where the back button is, no need to flame.
