Always find it funny when people use the term "real 3D". The 3 dimensional space we exist in is real, the 3D in games and movies is nothing but an effect, and none of the various methods of creating this effect are "real 3D". You can argue which methods are most effective, but you can't claim one is "real" and the others are not.

Whatever, the 3D in Crysis 2 looks a lot better than the 3D in Killzone 3. I care about how the final product looks, not the technique behind it.

most "3d console games don't do true stereoscopic 3d as its too expensive, real stereo 3d cuts framerate in half and 99% of console games run at 30fps including crysis 2, killzone 3, uncharted 2/3, gears 3, battlefield 3 etc

TRUE stereoscopic 3d requires the following

1 framebuffer per eye
1 alpha buffer per eye
1 frame rendered for each eye

now most console games only do the following

1 framebuffer per eye(by spiting the framebuffer in 2)

1 alpha buffer per eye(by splitting the alpha buffer into 2)

these steps reduce the visual quality of the game. the final step cannot be done as the framerate will be cut to 15fps( half of 30fps)

crysis 2 only performs the 1st step while killzone 3 performs the first 2 steps therefore kiollzone 3s 3d is closer to real 3d than crysis 2s 3d so you are indeed correct but it causes killzone 3 to loose more image quality than crysis 2 when 3d is engaged because guerilla games didn't cut as many corners as crytek did.

even on pc most gamers don't do true stero 3d as it cuts framerate in half. I'd rather game at 60fps 2d than 30fps true stereo 3d

how u doin today?

This video will always be impressive to me, even for years to come. Some things here are better than games we have today, OG crysis is the best version!

I'm still shocked that it looks as good as it does today, puts some modern games to shame.

Truth has been spoken.

Yeah unfortunately Crystek's decision to bet on the linear progression of clock speed in CPUs was derailed by the unforseen shift towards multicore CPUs. It just wasn't built with that in mind because that wasn't even in the conversation at the moment

Yes.

Worth a try just because it's the only game that lets you pick up a turtle on the beach and throw it at enemy soldiers that should have been a back of the box feature.

But nah seriously unless you're nostalgic for it I'm not sure if it will hold up

Amazing, often misunderstood
The dumb AI was deliberate, so that the players can explore and experiment with the world and all the features.

It really is. Most people only remember it for its graphics but the gameplay was equally amazing.

I agree!

I’ll never forget Far Cry 2 and the amount of details they packed in.

Yea there were some issues with the gameplay loop and the sickness aspect but you could tell they really tried to nail details.
