Agreed!Best looking thing on anything right now.Dunno if BF3 will surpass it.Maybe it will,but I doubt it will run better.This game has all the bells and whistles that you can think of and it still runs mighty fine.

That's because it hasn't got much going on under the hood.

evrfighter5434d ago (Edited 5434d ago )

too bad it has zero replayability value. yes I downloaded the dx11 hi res pack when it launched.

I played a whole 15 mins before it got meh

Voxelman5433d ago

BF3 has the advantage of being built from the ground up for DX10/11 rather than DX9 with 11 effects tacked on. BF3 also looks to feature a greater scale and draw distance.

xtremegamerage5434d ago

Crytek the horse has already bolted.

consolez_FTW5434d ago

Might be a "Graphical Game-Changer" till about October. Also Crysis2 had some AI glitches...so not so much Game-Changing

camargo20125434d ago

LOL u are retarded if u think battlefield graphics will be better!

Solid_Malone5434d ago

ah dude, DICE has the upperhand here, they got a good few months till the game goes gold, who knows what the final build of BF3 will look like.

camargo20125434d ago

@M4I0N3

crytek uses one of the worlds most expensive renderings ever made there is not way BF3 will be better have you noticed that most of the images shown from BF3 have way too much depth of field and bloom in order to hide the low resolution textures?

and the animations are not good looking either.

@camargo2012

What are you talking about?!?!?
The animations shown in BF3 are by far the best I have seen in a game.

CaptCalvin5434d ago

LOL complaining about bloom and blur rape and low res textures when comparing BF3 to C2...

The exclusion of DX11 out of the PC version sent bad signals to the Hardcore PC community who lives and breaths Crysis and just gave a no reason to buy the game anymore. The story felt unattached to the original and the gameplay choices severely limited. It was still still a great game but only now has the PC version been properly released.

Gran Touring5434d ago

Well, we should be happy that we got the update, and the graphics improvements do deliver.

I know how you feel, it's hard to look at Crysis 2 as being a good game without comparing it to the first.

Sidewinder-5434d ago (Edited 5434d ago )

In all honesty it's too late for me to even care.

A graphic update is not gonna make me wanna go back to play a relatively poor game (most def inferior to the first).

Going through crysis 2 looking for real reference to crysis 1 was like pissing in the wind.
Nomad? Psycho? Why do the Aliens of C2 go about using shittier technology to those of C1? NOTHING IS EXPLAINED!

C1 was a futuristic military romp, weras C2 is a superhero story.

The gameplay was inferior to C1, and the multiplayer was uninspired (which i find hurtful the most as i thought better of Cryteck UK)

CaptCalvin5434d ago

Because aliens that flew around would be too much for the vertical sensitivity on a gamepad LOL.

RedDead20675433d ago

Consoles can use auto/assist aim where the computer plays the game for you.

I really want to see a Crysis 4 with all the ray-tracing & path-tracing effects. It would be a shame if they canceled the project. Maybe they could do a kickstarter?

DF
" Crysis is something of a tentpole game series for us at Digital Foundry, with a reputation for being an early adopter of graphics technologies that would later define entire generations of PC and console video games. That includes the likes of screen-space ambient occlusion, sub-surface scattering and ray-marched volumetric lighting, but you could write volumes about just how ground-breaking that first game was "

isarai450d ago

I really hope they come out and push the industry forward like they used to. I miss old crytek

PrinceOfAnger448d ago

They all look disappointed by this news especially Alex

JEECE448d ago

Pretty sad that the studio that gave us a monumental game like Crysis is now subsisting on microtransactions from a live service PVPVE game.

Crysis 4 put "on hold" as developer Crytek is next studio hit by layoffs

Crysis developer Crytek is the next studio hit by layoffs, as it announces it's set to lose an estimated 15 percent of its 400 employees.

RaidenBlack456d ago

Why'd the day start with such sad gaming news?
Absolutely disheartening.

Jingsing456d ago

Maybe putting The Power Rangers in Hunt Showdown will get you some money back. (sarcasm)

Kassanova07456d ago

I'm always rooting for Crytek.

P_Bomb456d ago

I’m rooting for Crysis. Hope they work it out.
