I'm having trouble distinguishing the PC version from the consoles.

specsavers much!

Should get mines delivered tomorrow, really looking forward to playing it now in all honesty

I'm having trouble distinguishing the PC version from the consoles.

Looks good on all three

The only thing I noticed was differences in brightness levels, and the windows of the skyscraper being crisper on the PC version.

Didn't look like a nigh/day difference, so I'd have to agree with you.

I'm not sure a blurry youtube video (even in 720p) is the best tool to tell the difference to be honest.

Still semi-tempted by this game, though I'm to wait for other people to be guinea pigs I think....

The PS3 version doesn't seem to have the same particle effects as the 360/PC version. Looks like I'll opt for the PC version now.

Don't usually pre-order games nowadays but hell to it! it's CRYSIS 2! cheapest i've seen is 22.99 from the Leeds online shop, is that about the best offer?

PC version seems to looks crisper and much less blurry, some poor version of anti aliasing and low resolution on the consoles, ps3 being really blurry http://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/crysis-2-2-611x1024.jpg
lighting outdoors looks better, not sure if the ps3 water looks to best, hard to tell from static screenshots.

Is this going to be the 'benchmark' game for computer performance?

 

[Sean_UK]

Can someone please confirm whether multiplayer is only 6v6

Just 6v6 iirc.

I see Nvidia have pulled this from their list of DX11 games.

Doubt we will see a DX11 patch

It will definately come as Nvidia paid Crytek $2M to use DX11 unless Crytek give them their money back!

 

[oulton]

crysis 2 will be dx11

Doesn't really mean anything.

 

[bigjimmyauk]

The only reason it was pulled is because nvidia were supposed to launch the gtx590 along side a crysis 2 direct x 11 tech demo, but due to a driver problem the 590 was delayed and crytek had to keep to the north american deadline in regards to release date.

Shouldn't worry too much like i keep saying even if it is only DX 9 i will still be buying it DX11 is not something to shout home about at this present time and there are already rumours on the msoft forums Windows 8 will ship with direct x 12 which could be as little as 2 years away

Can someone please confirm whether multiplayer is only 6 v6 or are there bigger maps with a higher player count.

You can order 16 player servers so I assume that's the max on PC.

It either supports 6v6 or 8v8, possibly both.

Well, I know this game ( the demo ) looked stunning on my rig tbh can't see a console doing that ( yes I play a fair bit of console gaming )
