[360, PS3] Crysis 2

[Rangers]

Just noticed the delay is officially official http://www.gametrailers.com/news/crysis-2-pushed-to-2011/2359

According to a statement made to IGN by VP of Corporate Communication Jeff Brown, “We moved to the game to a better marketing window in the March quarter. This will also give the Crytek team more time to polish a great title.”

hmm, the statement seems to point more indeed to marketing rather than unfinished game issues, but who knows.

Sucks! Especially if the game could be ready but was simply delayed for marketing reasons.

Sure. You can nitpick any game like this. On the whole the graphics are the opposite of rough really.

But that's what we do here right? Seriously I apologize for not being too clear, the game on the whole looks very nice indeed but rough spots like those are rough and if Crytek can improve them upon release, I would be a happy man. The last thing I need is a gimped console version with shitty framerates, rough textures, effects and sub hd res.

New screens look excellent but are probably PC.

Perhaps but the textures looking jarring, middle right. That or perhaps some blur filter on images?

Textures are definitely blurry for a Crysis game but other than that, the lighting and soft shadows are fabulous.

Perhaps but the textures looking jarring, middle right.

Just a thought: City would have more unique textures than a jungle, so an art production (time & memory) issue Anyways, it might be worth noting that the consistent lighting examples were featured in a presentation "mostly" about consoles. Actually, in the presentation, they hide the entire bottom right with a zoomed in box of the chrome on the truck.

Video looks great btw, a little bit to good for console...

Some stuff made me wow!

Fans of first-person shooters were disappointed when it was announced that Crysis 2 for the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 was delayed from its original fall release into 2011. Now EA and Crytek have set the new release date as March 22, 2011 for North America and March 25, 2011 for Europe.

I think it's just the oblique angle of the water puddle shader. Perhaps lack of AF also?

Good to see a solid release date at least, even if I would have preferred February. I was concerned it would be delayed further.

Multiplayer to be showcased at Gamescom. No mention of PS3 version though.

Gamescom Cologne is just days away, which means everyone who is attending will get their very first look at Crysis 2’s intense and extensive multiplayer in less than a week!

Crytek CEO Cevat Yerli and Executive Producer Nathan Camarillo (as well as plenty of other Crytek staff) will be in attendance and while it might be difficult to spot them in the massive crowds you won’t be able to miss our massive booth. Within it we’ll have a theater showcasing Crysis 2’s awesome 3D technology and 36 stations running non-stop multiplayer matches throughout the event on both Xbox 360s and PCs.

Spring 2011 is starting to get pretty crowded with high quality shooters. I think part of this is just not wanting to compete with Halo: Reach as well as COD. As well giving more time to polish the game.

Which says a lot considering now they are competing with Gears 3 and KZ3 during a time of the year that's traditionally slow for game sales.

In a new Gamescom Cryengine 3 video, a Crytek employee states they have a team of 300 working on Crysis 2. Nice! No wonder it looks good.

 

[NRP]

Hopefully they will get a decent return on their investment.

It's the PC version but fortunately not stuck at 360 settings

Looks like a generic Crysis MP mod. I still can't believe they took out speed mode.

 

[nightshade]

This actually looks a lot worse than previous games in terms of gameplay...too generic.

It's the PC version but fortunately not stuck at 360 settings

Where does it says that ?
