Crysis 2 - Games - Facepunch Forum

I merged the other two threads but that idea was ill thought out because of their respective post counts BUT IT'S BETTER NOW BECAUSE There is just one thread. I will edit in an OP soon but for now just use this one thread for all Crysis 2 discussion OP COURTESY OF JEAHEAD ___________________ Crysis 2 --Updated 02-11-2011 with PC screenshots, thanks to BloodYScar-- PC screenshots [media]http://i55.tinypic.com/24vtk0j.png[/media] [media]http://img265.imageshack.us/img265/5107/crysis22011021111310503.png[/media] [media]http://img831.imageshack.us/img831/4381/crysis22011021111320081.png[/media] Campaign gameplay (first 5 min) [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tpxw2CG4qnI[/media] Release date: March 22nd, 2011 -NEW- Singlelayer Trailer (Courtesy of Kecske) [media]http://youtube.com/watch?v=wrYOMzFRy7Q[/media] Other trailers: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRJHl8bMgsI[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h35EEohMEoU[/media] Be the Weapon Trailer (Courtesy of stupid07er) [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1eVgDy-boM[/media] New Multiplayer Trailer (Courtesy of luckyg) [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1YDkLIGtqU[/media] Multiplayer gameplay footage [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rND658RPUw[/media] E3 Teaser: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=akv1ZarGpc0[/media] [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a1/Crysis_2_cover.png[/img] Overview: [quote]Crysis 2 is set in New York City, which has since been evacuated due to alien infestation. Similar to its predecessor, Crysis 2 will provide freedom to customize weaponry and abilities. Crytek wanted to avoid making another game set in a jungle environment, as were Far Cry and Crysis; New York City has been dubbed an "urban jungle". The urban atmosphere offers more options in how to progress and plan attacks. Players will be able to navigate between floors and buildings, as well as destroy cityscape.[/quote] Information on the game based on x360 gameplay on 21st of May, 2010 [quote]Please note that since the game is still in a work-in-progress state the following information may not be final. - The demo version ran with a good framerate even though it was not optimized for performance. - No story or multiplayer details were revealed. - You can see the the first-person character's body, just like in the previous Crysis games. - The draw distance was said to be "seemingly limitless". - Crytek's goals with Crysis 2 is, again, to push the envelope of gaming technology. - Advanced DirectX 11 features (PC only) won't be shown until after summer. - Crytek is taking the story aspect very seriously. - Crytek thinks that New York will suit better for storytelling than a jungle setting. - Grabbing enemies and hurling them through the air makes a comeback. - Mounted gun turrets can be ripped off and utilized. - Items can be used to batter enemies with. - There will be huge alien opponents. - Crytek has recreated New York in accurate, vibrant and detailed fashion. - Crysis 2 is a reboot of the Crysis universe and tells a new story but some of the questions and plot threads left open at the end of Crysis 1 will be resolved. - Extra story details can be picked up by listening to conversations between soldiers. - Multiple Nanosuit 2.0 powers can be used at the same time allowing you to mix and match them to your liking. - In addition to weapon customization the Nanosuit 2.0 can also be customized and enhanced by unlocking and activating various modules. - The gameplay style of Crysis 2 lies somewhere between a modern military shooter and a science-fiction shooter. - The artifical intelligence (AI) makes smart use of cover and is very alert and ready for action; a sniper rifle kill caused a strong counterattack. - A 'microwave cannon' was mentioned as one of the weapons. - There will be tons of replay value. [/quote] Gameplay: Gameplay is similar to the original Crysis, except Crytek changed the Nanosuit. This time, it allows players to combine nanosuit abilities, such as combining armor and strength, strength and stealth, etc. More info can be found at the PC Gamer scans below.

Update: Crytek CEO: Not sure there will be a Crysis 2 demo. As of right now, they don't know if they are going to be offering a demo of the game. However, Yerli says that they might 'sell' the demo for $10 or $15. Source: [url]http://news.bigdownload.com/2010/04/16/crytek-ceo-not-sure-there-will-be-a-crysis-2-demo/[/url] Update: Crytek CEO says that the Crysis series is not a trilogy anymore, and he confirms that there will be a Crysis 3, 4, and 5. [quote]In our Crysis launch party chat in November 15th, 2007, Crytek CEO Cevat Yerli stated that "The game is designed as a trilogy, so you have two more installments to come and the ending is planned deliberately.". But, it now looks like that might not be the case anymore. Crytek has recently talked in some interviews about Crysis 2 being a reboot of the series and now, in an interview with Computer & Video Games, David DeMartini, head of EA Partners, answered with a 'yes' on questions about whether the Crysis saga might continue after part three. DeMartini said that independent game developer Crytek continues to have a strong and loyal relationship with publisher Electronic Arts and the EA Partners program and that there will definitely be a Crysis 3, 4 and 5.[/quote] Source: [url]http://www.incrysis.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=875[/url] Some concept art with commentary can be found here: [url]http://www.incrysis.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=876[/url] Update 09-14-2010 Stereoscopic 3D without performance drops or a 120Hz monitor? (And more info about the engine) [quote]At the gamescom 2010, Crytek's field applications engineer Sean Tracy showed to PC Games Hardware a live demonstration of the CryEngine 3 in stereoscopic 3D. Of course in real time ("What You See Is What You Play") within the poweful editor Sandbox 3. Instead of rendering each picture twice (half the framerate!) and projecting it on a dedicated 120 Hz LCD monitor, Crytek simply uses the back buffer and the depth information in the graphics card: The renderred frame is practically being cloned and the fractum shift procedure makes two out of it. Thus, on the one hand there is nearly no performance drop and on the other hand stereoscopic 3D might be possible on any display - no matter if it's on PC or consoles. Crytek calls this technology "Screen Space Re-Projection Stereo". Crysis 2: Technological fireworks On an XBOX 360 or a PS3, Crysis 2 runs at 1.280 x 720 (720p) without anti aliasing with 30 fps (vertically synchronised; wether double or triple buffering was enabled Sean couldn't tell us). The CryEngine-3-maxim corresponds with what John Carmack said about the id-tech-5-engine (rage): Due to the consoles the engineers had to massively optimize the engine. Deferred lighting for example demands lots of input performance but it allows displaying very many light sources plus dynamic shadows. One can also expect the CE3 to use multi-core-CPUs to full capacity. In short: At comparable graphics the game will run more smoothly than its predecessors based on the CE2. The presentation was done on a Core-i7-920 with 6 GiByte RAM and a Geforce GTX 260 with DirectX 9. As far as we've seen it, the demonstration ran smoothly - despite some toying around with the effects in the Sandbox 3. So, Sean showed to us the implementation of many light sources in deferred lighting plus real time shadows, particles, the AI, the reengineered physics and some other cool features such as the scripting system. As already mentioned, the demonstration ran on DirectX 9. But the Cryengine 3 also packs DirectX 10 and 11and in a few months it will be delivered to the first licencees. The most important feature are the compute shaders who will accelerate computing deferred lighting and post effects. The engineers are still experimenting on tessellation but we expect it to be seen in Crysis 2. Crysis 2: Up to 8 CPU-Cores can be used When it comes to cinematic effects, the CE3 includes everything there is: ambient occlusion, depth of field, (object) motion blur, even the bokeh filter. In addition it is highly optimized for multi core systems: rendering, audio, AI, physics and so on are parallelised and accelerate the game - up to eight cores would be used. Sean assured us, that the Cryengine 3 would render nearly twice as many fps as the CE2 at comparable graphics quality. The PC-Version will probably support Multi-Sampling-AA as well as the so called Morphological Anti-Aliasing. When we asked if the textures would have a higher resolution, Sean shrugged - which can be interpreted as a "yes".

Kewl, why though? 1 was for the leak and one for the game.

Wow. New Thread.

[QUOTE=The Combine;28164802]Kewl, why though? 1 was for the leak and one for the game.[/QUOTE] Because both threads talked about the leak regardless and it was stupid to have two separate threads for basically the same discussion [editline]20th February 2011[/editline] Let me put this one page one while we're at it [b]FIX TO COMMON LEAK CRASHES/PROBLEMS[/B] In the System.cfg in the Crysis 2 main folder, edit the two commands [code] r_ShaderCompilerServer r_ShadersRemoteCompiler [/code] to [code] r_ShaderCompilerServer= r_ShadersRemoteCompiler=0 [/code] This fixes texture issues, crashing, the game not starting up more than once.

I cum every time I see those pictures it's getting on my nerves

this was unneccesary rusty Can anybody tell me where the harbor props from the mission where you destroy the boat are?

Tsk tsk rusty You should know better, I am very disappointed.

Well, while we are here... the benchmark picture?

[QUOTE=Rusty100;28164868]the leak thread was getting pretty close to being locked anyway OH WELL[/QUOTE] okay then also to fix my last post Can anybody tell me where the harbor props from the mission where you destroy the boat in crysis 1 are in sandbox2?

[QUOTE=Atokniro;28164883]Tsk tsk rusty You should know better, I am very disappointed.[/QUOTE] yeah merging the threads was a fuckup but i fixed the situation so its all good

who's interested in exchanging something secret for a picture of my shit on a chair with your name and my name written on a piece of paper I haven't yet done said shit

why would they even think about selling a demo i can't even explain how stupid that is

this videogame owns & everyone should buy it because it owns

[QUOTE=geogzm;28165112]why would they even think about selling a demo i can't even explain how stupid that is[/QUOTE] i think it could work if you paid 1/10th of the normal price for 1/10th of the game (just an example could be anything) and then if you like it you can pay the rest or forget about it if you don't like it

[QUOTE=strata8;28165131]Ughahgafgahh. Yeah, I think I'll make a new OP for this thread tomorrow.[/QUOTE] i copied the OP from the last thread, if you make a better one feel free to PM it to me and i'll change it
