Crysis 2

Re: Crysis 2 coming to consoles

Gamereactor Sweden review 9/10

it's far from the most convincing story in the history of gaming...
Instead it's the firefights, and all the freedom of choice, that make me giddy with excitement when I play Crysis 2.

You can play it just like you would Call of Duty, just keep the fire-button pressed through the whole game. You can also sneak your way through it, evading most enemies on your way. You can build traps, trick your opponents and play strategically. I let my imagination run wild; I place a bit of C4 on a car on top of a parking building, then make myself invisible and kick it from the roof so it lands on top of two armored vehicles below. Then watch as the whole platoon on the ground catches fire.

It's about mixing it up, about trying your way forward - then try some more. And while you're often in control of the tempo, it's never slow or boring.

A study in fanboyism: Crytek calls out IGN

I can’t say I’m surprised by IGN. After all, this is a site that has its top editors cranking out articles about how Xbox 360 exclusives in one year are better than PS3 exclusives in another year. However, this time they may have bitten off more than they can chew. IGN has boldly claimed that the 360 version of Crysis 2 is “clearly outperforming” the PS3 counterpart. CVG has disagreed after playing nearly all of the game, calling any difference “negligible.” Jeff Rubenstein of the PlayStation Blog posted today his interview where he put the matter to Executive Producer Nathan Camarillo, who responded thusly:

I’ve gone on the record saying that if you stick PS3 and 360 side by side I would challenge anyone to find any meaningful difference. I don’t see it at all.

I understand IGN probably just wanted to get a couple cheap hits by playing the console card, but they should have realized they were dealing with a developer’s integrity here. Hopefully we’ll get to the truth of these comparisons when Crysis 2 finally hits stores next week on March 22 for PC, Xbox 360, and PS3.

Re: Crysis 2 coming to consoles

360 is an older build patched with some fixes from the previous demo, while PS3 is code primed for cert submission. That statement from Crytek is just PR, because there are differences, whether these are "meaningful" depends on the individual. What is meaningful is the PS3 struggles to hold 30fps. Framerate should always trump graphics online, because you're already dealing with latency, and some devs need to learn this.

Re: Crysis 2 coming to consoles

When I played the beta, I wanted this game. Now that I have played the demo and Homefront is out, I might just rent this. I've also played the other Crysis games on my PC, so this series is nothing new to me at all.

I gave up gaming on the PC and didn't have the right specs, so I never got to play Crysis. I wasn't too impressed with the mp demo though. I am thinking about getting it for the singleplayer.

The PS3 version is washed out and blurry. Not hard to see it. At least from the demo screens. Plus a 4 GB install on PS3.

Re: Crysis 2 coming to consoles

The Assault gametype sounds fun.

http://www.fpstime.com/2011/03/crysi...mode-detailed/

Assault – A team needs to obtain data terminals, while the other team must prevent this. The interesting thing is that the defending team has no Nanosuit, but equipped with heavy guns. The attacking team can draw on the other hand Nanosuit, is only in possession of light weapons.

Re: Crysis 2 coming to consoles

Single player looks really good on both PS3 and 360. Definitely one of most visually impressive shooters on consoles.

There's no EA online pass.

Re: Crysis 2 coming to consoles

Oh really? So online is free for this game? Also, who here thinks this game will have server issues?
