Does anyone ever actually PLAY the game? or just take screenshots.

How about some real videos for a change instead?

There is no doubt this game looks sick when you have a good enough pc. But has anyone here played it? Is the story any good? Is it a fun game?

Crysis still kills anything the ps3 can do and even most gaming pcs

"but we'll give it a thumbs down because we doubt its true even though we've never played it before"

wwwaAAAAAAHH!!!!!

P.S. - MW2 is a reeeeaally bad game <------ (waaaaahh....)

actually one of the rare few game I keep replaying.

My rigs almost max it out in 1920*1080 at 25/50 fps (mostly 40), no AA though I don't feel the need, and it's one of the best experience ever.

With noHud mod it's a blast.

Sure my PC is more expensive than a console, but neverminds, ODST looks like gamecube compared to that.

people saying this game is just a tech demo are just wrong (half right actually ^^).
This game is FUN, yes you hear me, mix of stealth, brutal action, shooting, epic moment. Just fantastic.

just xfire not compatible with 64bits annoy me :D

edit : oh, and you can lean =)

To be honest i wasnt really that impressed with the crysis campaign the last parts were pretty much the best but it got a little boring at the start.

still haven't played Crysis cause I refuse to upgrade my computer just to play this game, and i dont want to play it at low settings with choppy framerate...

i think it would be awesome if this game is one of the new release for the next gen consoles whether it be ps4/xbox720 running at the highest setting of course at 60fps at 1080p.

"An alien race invades a foreign country and you play as the American (surprise) army in fighting them off. Seriouly there's no plot at all and the lack of set-pieces in crysis is dizzying."

The alien race does not invade. They were there the whole time under the mountain until the Koreans dug them up. You play the American soldier sent there to rescue kidnapped scientists who eventually gets drawn into the whole alien thing. I'm beginning to think you've never actually played the game.

No setpieces? The setpieces in Crysis dwarf those in Uncharted 2.

Examples of set pieces in Crysis:

There's also the ending, the fight to the mines, the first battle against the big alien fighter. Many of the open ended scenarios are setpieces themselves when you take in their scale. Crysis also had a train scene before Uncharted 2, but the one in Crysis is more impressive considering you can jump off the train and run through the jungle at any time.

man i cant wait for the CryEngine 3 to come to the ps3/360 because i have them both i think games they should use this for is GEAR OF WAR/HALO/MGS/RACING GAMES/FIGHTER GAMES........

Train sequence in Crysis. Notice how the open looking environments are ACTUALLY open, instead of only APPEARING open in Uncharted 2.

So tired of hearing the fans brag about graphics that people were experiencing back in 2007... and there's still not a game that I've played to date that has topped this.

"Seriously though this game was poor gameplay-wise. Uncharted 2's gameplay puts crysis to shame."

I think this game is really fun. Did you even play it?

This doesn't look fun to you, yet you like Uncharted 2? What's not to like about it?

uncharted 2 killzone 2 or metal gear 4 are alot more likely to be movie engines than crysis, crysis and crysis warhead look like games, nothing about them look like, "oh, that cant be real" everything looks like its a game, but ofcourse the nerd pc fans will think crysis and crysis warhead look better than movies

i have uncharted 2 and crysis 1/warehead
which one is better in my opininan i would have to say crysis why? well you just have to play crysis and find out for your self!

"ps3 is the only platform that has anything that looks cgish"

You do realize that CG in CGI stands for "computer generated", don't you? All games look CGish, because they were all made in computers.

a videogame when i look at these screens, but i think thats only because i know before hand, but those shots of the jungle looking out to the water and that cave, if someone were telling me they were
on vacation and showed me those pics saying thats where they were, id be like "thats gorgeous man, i gotta go there sometime" lol.
i think people could be fooled that most of the screens are real.

I think most people who are pc fans dont seem to realise that crysis simply doestn look as good as killzone 2 WHEN RUNNING ON EQUAL GROUND, its obvious that crysis looks better than killzone 2 when your running very high at 1920x1080 hell its going to look better than any game out there (becuase it does) at those resolutions but put it at 1280x720 and then compare it to a console game, otherwise its an automatic fail for consoles. you cant compare 100 dollars to 50 and ask which one is better, they are both money essentially but one is higher than the other. besides after playing kilzone 2 i kinda see where crysis is a little outdated as far how thing destruct. in crysis things like houses made out of those wide metal sheets explode and fall apart but it looks like a bunch of legos falling apart, just big pieces falling to the ground like a game of jenga. But in killzone bricks actually fall apart and explode into dust they don't just fall on the ground and stay there. i dunno about you but i think that if i shot a piece of sheet metal with a rocket launcher that thing would completely fall apart not just go flying somewhere completely intact.

Native resolution that these games were created in by their developers

Halo 3 1152 X 640 640p 30 Fps
Gears Of War 2 1280 X 720 720p 30 fps

Uncharted 2 1280 X 720 720p 30 fps

Killzone 2 1280 X 720p 720p 30 fps The cell Broadband Engine reprocesses the resolution to 1920 X 1080 1080i 30fps This is NOT UPSCALING because this is a Feature of the CELL Processor.

Most 360 and Ps3 games can be upscaled to 1080i or 1080p but it's not the same as NATIVE meaning what it was created at. When you upscale you barely notice the difference and you take a hit in framereate performance, like blur for example or slowdown, or square blotches.

killzone 2 is not upscaled to 1080i because it utilizes the graphics function of the Cell Processor to achieve NATIVE 1080i as programmed by the developers in the original code.

Pc games Native resolution is what ever the native resolution of your monitor or big screen T.V is and if your hardware can get you there.

Stalker and Crysis the PC graphical heavyweights I can play at 1920 X 1080 NAtive 1080p at 40 to 50fps thanks to my Twin XFX HD 4890's
1080p is TRUE HI DEF and is double the pixel rate of 720p

with the right equipment they can reach resolutions of 2560 X 1600 30fps
with 2 or 4x Anti Ailising making the gaming experience flawless.

Consoles have limitations where as with the PC it's just a matter of what hardware you have.

Ah, I shall whip out my Geforce QDX Delta Infinto-Beta 956 dual SLI combined with 356GB of RAM and Intel Veri-Vedi-Veci processor just so I can play this in medium settings in 720p at 30FPS.

-End statement

NERDS

the retail version don't look that good.. unless if you are willing to trade in your kidney and half your liver..

Crysis - owns
Crysis Warhead - owns
Crysis Wars - although the gameplay is unique to any online FPS its not for me :)

Can your uncharted do that?????

Can your Uncharted do that??

Killzone 2 and uncharted 2 are not CG in the slightest they alread got there ass handed by the console 360 version of farcry 2 what makes you think they have any chance against crysis 2 Seriously Stop being a retard

wish 600.00 60gb ps3 could run all their games like crysis that game is cut!!!

.

It is future proof. I haven't played a game like Crysis since and probably never will. Wasn't the greatest FPS but certainly it was special

Crysis looked MINDBLOWING in 2007 (at least the few frames I could render on my PC did), still looks good today, which is an amazing feat. But has definitely aged when you consider the wow factor it once had. Braid is a game from 2007 that's future proof bc the graphical style is so simple. Looked good then, looks as good now.
