[360, PS3] Crysis 2

[AlNom]

OMB implementation apparently is buggy or constrained -- edge discontinuity at the character in the right:

What do you mean by edge discontinuity? Looks fine. If you're talking about the blur not being always translucent on edges, well, that's really just a quality setting (extra shader). I can't really fathom bitching about something that's supposed to be blurry and briefly seen in real-time though.

It's amazing how much better YT videos of HQ looks looking at them at non upscaled res, the 'bluriness' just works to enhance IQ. Anyway still nice for 720p video from Gamersyde. I'll take some shots for pixel counters. Anyway looks like their edge AA method.

Looks like a mix of things, but I'm not going to spend much time on compressed shots anyway.

Hope they adjusted/fixd the DoF it was awful in the alpha test way to strong.

AFAIK it also depends on how it is captured. I've seen same 'artifacts' in GOWIII, U2 captures, Crysis, Metro 2033 and other games. For PC doing buffer grabs it's really sensitive to when the frame is captured as in OBM effect not fully processed. Doesn't mather if Crysis does 16 samples and expensive edge smoothing features for OBM. When playing you never notice it becouse it doesn't happen as effect is processed over several frames. Now videos might be different since multiple frames can be blended together in a capture thus not breaking sensitive effect(s) that are distributed over several frames.

Shame video has such bad IQ.

 

[Neb]

I think this is the source and therefore has highest quality available:

http://www.mycrysis.com/sites/defau...er__copy_31_uk__europe_final_h26415k_16x9.mov

Encoded at 60 fps. Some parts run at 30fps though.

Much better than shitty Gamersyde videos that gets downgraded IQ for fake 60fps. Buy a PC for the real deal.

Heres the links to shots from the video you linked to. Better IQ.

The motion blur is much better/more strong in rooftops in this video than it was in stress test rooftops. Actually I dont even remember if stress test rooftops had motion blur.

 

[nightshade]

The Xbox 360 stress test didn't had OMB at all.

 

[Rangers]

Yeah nightshade, again I just wonder if it's PC or of they added the MB to 360 after test. I'm guessing the latter.

One thing I like about Crytek one of their guys tweeted about how watching the end credits took him forever (because of so many people) and that's a sign of a Crytek game

 

[Ruskie]

Stress test Crysis 2 was very old build.Some journalists mentioned(in november) that its 4 month old build and SP had OMB in latest build,about 3 months old.

 

[betan]

It's rather curious that there hasn't been mention of any closed-beta for PS3.

How many games had publicly known closed(or open) betas for both platforms?

Their custom AA is good but still not at the level of MLAA, edge blurring is not convincing enough. The game does look quite nice in direct feed although the lighting is a bit flat in this level somehow.

Can I say without getting hammered that this new Crysis 2 trailer looks better than the new KZ3 MP trailer ! Sunlight seems too white and too "overdone" in that Boulevard map of KZ3, as if they are forcing you to say "Hey, its so pretty !". This, on the other hand, looks really really nice !

 

[Lucid_Dreamer]

High bitrate trailer http://www.gamersyde.com/download_crysis_2_multiplayer_trailer-18746_en.html

The overall game graphics looks good, but the animation looks bad.

 

[Rangers]

Ugh apparantely the only map in the demo is skyline, formerly rooftops.

Oh well, it's a fun map and it'll be interesting to check out how much better it looks now.

Still pretty disappointing for me

 

[NRP]

No, you cannot.

 

[CNCAddict]

The overall game graphics looks good, but the animation looks bad.

The transition where the player smashes his fist on the ground after landing is particularly awful (0:51 into the video).

Errrr...its Helghan they don't have a sun.

 

[Neb]

Errrr...its Helghan they don't have a sun.

How convenient... heh.

 

[Lucid_Dreamer]

It's, also, convenient to be the perfect distance from the Sun (not too hot and not too cold). What were the chances of that?

I guess we can say all the players in Crysis 2 have a severe case of hemorrhoids. That would conveniently explain the animations, though.

 

[AlNom]

It's those suits. Guys just shouldn't be subjected to such torture.

 

[doob]

Must be from all the sliding, action quake 2 had the same problem
