So does anyone have any details on the DRM included with Crysis 2 PC?

What, that EA download manager thing? Eh, Annoying, but whatever, it was bitch to install though, as my Anti-virus thought it was a Trojan. I can see no difference between the "very high" and "extreme" settings. Probably have to wait for the Dx11 patch for that >:(...

@Frozpot

They changed the name from the demo on the settings.

High - Gamer
Very High - Advanced
Extreme - Hardcore

I tried and even saw comparison shots of "Advanced" and "Hardcore" from the demo, I didnt notice anything other than on "Hardcore" the quality wasent as sharp as "Advanced" which surprised me, so I went with "Advanced" because it looked more vibrant and sharper and it gave more performance.
Again, from the demo, I dont know how it is on retail.

@Plumb
I think its included, not sure, but I remember I read something about it on a site. Eurogamer?

I dont even know what DRM is LOL

Call me silly, but isnt DRM like if you buy the game and you install it once you cant reinstall it again in the future if needed or install it to another PC?

Oh, sorry! Yeah, it stands for Digital Rights Management.
Basically it's copy protection, but there are various forms of it - some more tolerable by the consumer than others.

Anyway, from the sound of it, the PC version is all locked up, akin to Bulletstorm, and with a 60 dollar price tag I'm not sure I want to bite.

After playing for a few hours, I can say I am loving it!
Runs and looks fantastic, I love the assault weapon alot!

I like how they have combined some suit powers into one, easier and quicker to use them compared to Crysis 1 were you have to pick them one by one.

I havent tried the MP (serial key is in use? gtfo) but I would like to.

It runs 720p native on the 360, framerate its crap.

But:

"The crucial thing is that both are phenomenally attractive games, producing effects quite different and in many ways more advanced than anything we've seen elsewhere on console. We all wanted Crysis on console to be an event, a showcase release: by and large, Crytek has delivered, and those cutting edge visuals are backed by a truly impressive game design."

Going by that and the fact that they said its 720 native on the 360, then by definition the 360 version of Crysis 2 its the most impressive best looking game in consoles, I was convinced of that by what I had seen but now we got confirmation.

Nothing more to say, the authority has spoken.

Bring it warriors!!

lol.

"Updated: Erroneous 360 resolution now corrected."

"while Crysis 2 runs at 1152x720 resolution on the Microsoft platform, PS3 operates at a base resolution of 1024x720"

Awesome, 360 and PS3 are sub HD games, 360 with worse framerate, so it all points that PS3 is the better performance version, even though its more blurry.

I would have prefer a more stable version than a more crisp version, while I didn't had a problem with LoS being sub 30 fps I dont know how I will take this one.

Guess I have to play it then.

I stillnot convinced 360 is not 720p, it looks very smooth everywhere to be subHD

Or that resolution is so close to 720p that makes no real difference

Is there a link to pixel counters confirming this ?

But according to the analysis, the 360 version has the more stable framerate over-all, just copes badly on some intense firefights. Apparently that's not the norm.
Regardless, I am several hours into the PC version, and am running it at the highest rez at the highest setting, and it's buttery smooth. Awesome game with nice, dynamic play.
RAPTOR- you should be happy to know that you can slide for quite a ways, and I use it often. Really fun. And, IMO, much better than the first over-all. The Suit powers are much more accessible and flow together better.
Now all I need is the Friggin' DX11 support...
