Well I am buying it on PS3 regardless (Limited Edition) because I love how it turned out (NY aside) and Crytek deserve my money...unless they made the PS3 version the shittiest version like most devs are doing, that would piss me off.

It is backwards, discussing the game isn't encouraging people to steal it, the same like discussing weapon technology isn't encouraging people to kill other people with them or discussing the biggest firtunes on the planet isn't encouraging anyone to rob them.

I can easily buy it for PC, but when it comes to MP (which I like by the videos) I want to play with a gamepad and be comfortable when i play (which I am not when I use mouse/keyboard, atleast for 2-3 hours max)
And using gamepad on PC in MP mode, well, obviously its not balanced and I have big disadvantage.

I will "get" it on PC as well to see how it perfoms on my PC and for prettier graphics, if possible LOL.

But I will buy it on PS3, even if graphics, obviously, isnt as great as PC, I will still enjoy the GAMEPLAY.
Unlike many, i am no graphics whore, yes even when it comes to Crysis.
I didnt replay Crysis 1 and Warhead more than 5 times just for its graphics. I thought it was fun playing it and using the suit.

Wish I could say that to Killzone series.

Looks like someone leaked a beta version of this game. That's lame, and this aint a great screenshot, but that image quality (in DX9 and on high) murders the Xbox demo already. Moar!

Would it kill them to release some official PC media?
I wonder what that guys specs are? 35 frames doesn't seem like much for a scene like that

I just saw a video on youtube and the guy playing it had the same processor as I do (X6 1055t) and he said the game pretty much runs at 55 FPS @ 1080p with fraps off...but I heard this build is locked at medium settings so that doesn't mean much :P

but still I will tweak the ini when the game comes out for 60 FPS!! OH YA @ 1680 x 1050 though.

There are screenshots from the leaked version on NeoGAF too, or at least that's where i first saw them. Talking about the leaked version versus looking at a screenshot isn't much different as far as I can tell. I'm not sure why anyone would play a beta when the game comes out in a month anyway. If they were going to pirate it they're going to pirate that too--and that's where the real damage is. And that build says it's running on high (not very high), so I am assuming it's not medium.

Yea.. it's not that bad if it doesn't dip too far below that though, and who knows what he's running.

There is DX9 high setting video leaked. It is older build so the retail will be smooth on decent PC:

looks nice, but the guy makes the combat look boring as hell.

pop-in needs fixing too.

otherwise i'm tempted to pick it up.

Crysis was sorta only exciting if you made it exciting, and Warhead put you in scenarios that made that easier to achieve. Crysis combat made you feel like a lion or something.. a predator in the wings sorta thing.

I'm sorta doubtful that I'll feel the same w/ the new (noob) suit layout, but we'll see. I also lol'd when I saw that the PC demo was still twelve players.

I love the abilities the suit has, it does indeed make you like an Predator with an badass voice, which I LOVE the new voice for the suit in Crysis 2.

One thing I dislike though is that energy drains when you sprint, normally.
In Crysis 1, if you sprint normally you can easily sprint as much as you want and the energy wouldnt drain until you picked Speed Mode.
I hate the fact that in this one, even if you are sprinting normally, your energy suit is draining, and if its empty you cant sprint at all. Horrible decision!

Though I do like the fact you can get alien resources after killing them and start saving those "credits" to buy upgrades with various abilities to your suit any time.

But I like that its in the city now (hate that its NY), more things is happening around you, even if its scripted, more stuff to see other than moutnains and trees and bushes...etc.
Its just more alive, for me it doesnt matter if its more restricted from Crysis 1, as long as its fun to use the suit and go crazy at the enemy :)

As Grift said it gives a big Predator kinda impression, so badass.

I think streamlining the suit is a good thing. If one thing bothered me in Crysis it was how little powers flowed into one another even when you tried to make them do that. I think the closer it gets to feeling like Radiant Silvergun/Ikaruga with that stuff, the more beneficial it'll be to the experience.

Halo thought to let you throw a grenade without switching to grenades and meleeing without switching to a melee weapon. That philosophy echoed throughout Halo and made that into probably the finest playing FPS there is. Crysis always had a similar vibe to it, but the separation of elements made it ever so slightly clunkier than it could have been. I don't see this as noobification at all, I see it as a logical step. I see it as moving away from the Prototype school of fetching each power off a shelf, and moving towards the InFamous school of being part of a seamless arsenal.

There'll still be balance there, there'll still be a finite amount of energy you can spend, it just won't be this weird system where strength and toughness are arbitrarily two different things - just because - and then the game needs to chomp down on your energy bar to the point where stalls are impossible to avoid. It can all be done much more elegantly and play better because of it.


As for the "hunter" part, I think that'll be there in doses, but I also think you'll feel more like a super hero going up against worse odds. There'll still be that notion of only you being able to even remotely pull the shit off that you're doing. Ie, I think it'll still be empowering, just not as overpowering.

This image makes me sad...so much for the 8 core support promised by Crytek....looks like my 6 core CPU will get me about 10 more frames (1075t over e8400) but still I was expecting a much better result

Looks like the engine is still GPU dependent, I do hope they patch the multicore optimizations to Crysis 1. I am betting it will run well with some ini tweaks 1650 x 1080 or whatever that res is :P

Meh, I didnt buy the PC for gaming, I just decided to buy a good budget graphics card and so far its been working wonders for me.
I got Crysis 1 and Warhead running around 30-40 on high/very High mixed without AA and Vsync on native resolution 1680x1050.

Outside of Crysis, any game I have played I have been able to max out pretty much all settings except I turn off AA because I am not THAT picky and vsync, if it dips my perfomance alot, I turn it off.
And they have been running great.

So yeah, outside of Crysis, I am good with what I got, shockingly lol.
The tower I got isnt that big enough for more advanced newer graphics cards, as far as I know, the new ones they are quite long so, yeah.

Besides, I am not a graphics whore to have the best graphics when playing, I always mix good graphics and perfomance just so I can enjoy the game on a high resolution and play the game :)

I bought the PC exactly around when SF4 and RE5 PC benchmark programs was out, I tried them, lagged!

So it took a few weeks or so for me to find a nice good budget graphics card and a get a new memory add on so its 4 now, and when I came home and tried the benchmark again, I said holy shit its awesome LOL

So since then I have managed myself.

Besides, I am sure mods will find a way to make Crysis 2 look even better but yet not to take much perfomance out of it.
That is what I am counting on later after release.
I used Natural Mod and something else which I dont remember, for both Crysis games and the performance was great and graphics was better than without it, the stuff was like magic! :D

I have a E6600 (3.2Ghz) and I play PC games extensively :D

The first Crysis ran awesome on this rig, hoping Crysis 2 works fairly well too. I don't intend to upgrade until the fall.
