How can they have accurately reviewed the multiplayer experience of the full game if the beta is still ongoing and DICE is still patching it?
To be fair, after having three games set in jungles, I think Crytek would have picked a different setting for Crysis 2 regardless of the platforms it would have been released on.
You misunderstand Crytek. The game won't look the same on all 3 platforms, it'll be the same in terms of level structure and gameplay design. Crytek already has high quality assets that it uses to promote the game, assets that can run on high-end gaming PCs. When they develop for consoles, they merely have to scale down the effects and textures, but the game is still the "same." This scaling is done automatically in the Cryengine 3 Sandbox while they're designing the game using a PC...
But the PS3 won't be running the game full-spec. Only High-End PCs will be capable of that.
Here's a question: how many polygons are used to render one scene of Uncharted 2? Exactly.
The same exact screenshots were printed in PC Games magazine, meaning that they are most likely to be screenshots of the PC version.
Raf1k1, you're correct. PC Games were given screenshots taken at 3840 x 2130, a resolution that only PCs can render.
Technically, champ21, Blizzard controls when you can play online. If Battle.net were to ever shut down, you'd be just as screwed as Xbox gamers are.
It won't. Starcraft was a disaster on the Nintendo 64.
How are we supposed to believe you?
*Looks at Crysis*
Wrong.
Pick up the PC version, it has sharper visuals and more accurate controls.
But then you'd be wrong, because Mass Effect 2 is also on PC.
@ Aquanox
Uncharted 2 is only on one platform.
I think it's too bad that you're disagreeing with this, as this is where the entire PC market is going. If publishers want to make any money on PC games, they have to resort to these measures. Maybe if less of us pirated, this wouldn't have happened as quickly as it did. Gamers have only themselves to blame. You can't blame a company for trying to protect their work from being stolen.
They wouldn't create an offline mode since that defeats the whole purpose of using the online system to authenticate the copy in the first place. Including an offline mode would just make it incredibly easy for people to crack it.
I would like to get a beta key.
Doing so would only accelerate the piracy by other, less honest individuals.
Since when do graphics have anything to do with it? Wii games look even worse.
RTS games don't need dedicated server support.
