lets see, 25% of the video is the stupid opening, the next 45% is Nathan Camarillo talking, 15% of game footage everybody has seen already and the last 15% is the closing.

So, a good 55 % of the video is nothing worth seeing and out of the 45% of the Nathan C. interview only about 10% was new information.

seems like this could have just been a short blurb on a gaming news site...or even a twitter from Mr. Camarillo.

Why don't you give us a summary then?

madpuppy5843d ago

EA!, EA!, EA!, Nathan Camarillo: blah blah, we have an unique opportunity to blah blah blah. scenes from "the wall" trailer interspersed throughout. talking about stringing together nanosuit abilities to create your own gaming technique...blah, blah nothing we haven't heard before ad nauseam...long outro...

there! you happy now?

Even that pre-rendered footage looks half as good as the pre-renders in the first game... me thinks they ran into a storage issue on one of the console's *wink wink*

For anyone that played ME2 on PC...the pre-rendered footage looked worse than the in game settings on the lowest possible, same thing.

...yeah crysis 2 is not going to be gimped at all...

Chris_TC5843d ago

I totally agree. I played Mass Effect 2 maxed out with 16x AA at 1920x1200, and the pre-rendered cutscenes were very blurry while the ingame scenes were extremely crisp.
Huge difference, made me wonder why on earth they pre-rendered when it ended up looking so much worse than ingame.

Steve_05843d ago

Even that pre-rendered scene in crysis 1 looked bad apart from character models and other details (animation), it was blurry, screen torn, and just generally low res quality. Is anyone who has both a console and a decent pc even considering choosing the console version? I mean, I'm keeping my eye out on the PS3 version, as that's where I do most my gaming and my macbook pro isn't the best of rigs to say the least.

Nihilism5843d ago

I agree that the crysis 1 first pre-rendered scene was blurry, but screen tear is an easy fix, v-sync it.

Pandamobile5843d ago

Crysis didn't have any pre-rendered cutscenes.

or are you talking about the intro trailer?

likedamaster5843d ago

Will Crysis finally live up to the hype?

When logic meets EA it generates anti-matter ..... so try not to apply it in any meaningful way. Entropy is what matters in there !!

cue the apologist saying that these are mostly just contractors hired for this specific project bla bla bla

The community warned them this would happen but nope they knew better they continued with the live service push the made the art style cartoonish and this is the result

isarai_lee78d ago

It's always so bizarre when studios announce something super early in development under the suggestion of forming the game to player feedback, and then they push against all feedback heading straight for the cliff while everyone is warning them along the way

lol ya think? they're sending all that work to the cheaper labor market as soon as possible. and FYI, that labor market has exploded in the last 5-10 years. They have enough people to replace every single job. But honestly, EA is over filled with useless upper management as it is. You could probably trim 25% of their staff with no real loss in production. They aren't gamers, they're business execs. Just look at how many AI related jobs they're already starting to post. Its also hilarious that PIF owns Battle field 6

Wait,

The same congress that attacked Lina Khan when she fought the Microsoft Activision purchase.
The same congress that allowed Disney to buy 90% of Fox
The same congress that allowed Liv Golf to buy the PGA
The same congress that sits back while Paramount tries a hostile takeover despite losing the bid for Warner Bros.

NOW, the suddenly cares about doing what's "right" for works? Yeah, right.

thorstein112d ago

No. There were elections and some of the scum were replaced.

TheColbertinator112d ago

Different elections. Different scum. Same results.

rlow1112d ago

i know its a long shot, but i hope this gets shot down.

EA now owned by The Saudis and Ubisoft to inevitably be owned by China. In hindsight, once EA and Ubisoft started having their financial woes, they should have pulled a Koei Tecmo/Bandai Namco by merging their operations into one.
