So I saw on incrysis they have gameplay of both maps. And all the videos that were released with gameplay so far:

I played the 360 Version? today in clogne ... believe me it looks nowhere near the pc version ( was running on the other side of the room ) the screen-resolution and the poor textures on the 360 are just as ugly as? hell. By the way.. you just cant play that game with a gamepad.
Its just impossible for me.
After all, i still prefer Crysis 1 over Crysis 2. But even i have to comit that the handling in Crysis 2 is a bit better. In the end Crysis 1 ( with mster and rygel`s) just looks way more brilliant than Crysis 2 on Pc.
Just my opinion of course.

hey bigboulder in what way you mean the handling is better in crysis 2? and how did the 360 vers look compared to like other 360 games. lucky you got to play it already

I think when he means handling, I think he means how the game moves and plays, I think.

I can assume the 360 version wasn't great, hopefully the PS3 doesn't end up like it. I can assume a PC version of the game would look 10x better?

Did you get to try out the PC version?

Also, thanks for sharing it with us. Anymore knowledge would be appreciated.

@ jj1919:

When i said "handling" i mean that you dont need to switch between 4 different nanosuit modes anymore. They reduced them to 2 basic modes, which can be upgraded by stats - points ( which you will earn by fragging others) Just like in Battlefield Bc2. Same for the weapon upgrades.
But the biggest improvement for me is that you could climb edges by jumping on to them. This means a whole lot more capabilities to move through the levels. You could also sneak upon s.o. from behind and then break his neck . And when you fall down from a high wall or somethin, you see the floor beneath you is deforming into a small crater.
By the way the MP Maps had a very uniquie design. For example there are two skyskraqers ( an office and some sort of penthouse ) and one building collapsed into the other one. So everything is very deformed, the floors are skew etc..its kinda cool.

@Sahdev_92:

The Pc version has many advantages and yes i played both versions.
First was the resolutiom: The 360 Version ran on relatively small screens ( i think they were about 24- 30 Zoll/Inch) So did the pc version.
The 360 version was very pixelated in distant views.. on shadows and lights so i think the res. wasnt high @ all. The textures looked very low res.. compared to the pc version..you cant see any detail structures because everything looks very blurred.
I also saw s.o playing Killzone 3 on Ps3.. and it looked way more sharp and detailed. So when you own a big screen TV.. it will probably look even more pixelated than on the ones i saw.
Sadly the PS3 Version was not to be seen. But i dont think that it will look way better than the 360 Version. But maybe with the more advanced PS3 CPU they can add some AA to the PS3Version.

But again:
None of the Versions that i saw can surpass the great landscapes of Crysis 1.

interesting, thanks for the insight. I too like the map design and am impressed by all the detail they're squeezing into the console versions

@JJ

Im Sorry i overseen your question about the comparison to other xbox games. The only thing you could compare it to ( on gamescom) is Halo Reach ( because of the MP- Mode).
Halo Reach looks like a very solid Xbox 360 game. It has good graphics and all the stuff.. but its not "over the top".
Crysis 2 has some effects in it (especially light and shadows) which i have never seen in a 360 game before. But maybe Crytek had to sacrifice a good res to achieve this result. But its also possible that the game wasnt upscaled to a better res yet. But i wont bet on it.

Just my opinion of course.[/quote]Is there a way to prone? I haven't seen people prone yet.

Yes, is there a way to prone?

Thanks for answering our questions.

Hey No Problem!

"prone"?

You mean one step below crouching?

If yes :
On the 360 i wasnt even able to figure out which button is assigned to make the charackter crouch. ( I just hate playing an ego shooter with a pad)

On the PC Version:
Crouching was definetly possible.. but not necessary.
The Game was so fast and the map so small that you just had no reason
to do so. It was a Teamdeatchmatch 6 vs. 6 just like in Crysis Wars DM.
Yes.. by the way...very similiar to crysis wars actually.
To be honest:
I dont know if you are able to prone in the game.
I just had no time to figure it out and it wasn really necessary like i said. But i think the controls will be pretty much the same as they were in the first crysis.

If anyone from Crytek can read this:

Thanks for the shirt!!!

It looks very cool!

It's called "Drop Shotting" I believe.

[quote]It's called "Drop Shotting" I believe.[/quote]Yeah well it's a bich to fight someone who uses it

Oh ok. Now i know what you guys meant.

I thought this was a tactic from Battlefield 2?

[quote]Oh ok. Now i know what you guys meant.

I thought this was a tactic from Battlefield 2?[/quote]its in a lot of games. but i could never get it in crysis. So it is indeed possible. Did you ever try some of the other keys from the original crysis? like "C" to customize your weapons?

Like i said custumizations are not avialable from the beginning.
This includes weapon- and nanosuit upgrades.
Oh and the old menu (middle mouse button) is gone! You have to hit the specified key for each nanosuitmode.
One of the employees ( @ least they had Crytek shirts on ) said that you have to earn every upgrade by getting more and more frags. So that you will profit from playing more often. In the preview movie ( in 3d ) the announcer said that you can personalize your gear and weapons espacially for your kind of playing. I found someone on youtube who filmed himself playing the Pc version on gamescom. I hope you guys can get some more impressions of it:

This is Epic

On consoles it's usually seen as a sign of skill to drop while shooting someone because if you can aim while holding the crouch/prone button then you've either been playing for a while, or you've got mutated fingers.

Still getting the Xbox version over the PC. I know for a fact that there still working and ironing the game out for consoles. The Xbox will not look like the PC version on high but I bet it still wont look like how most describe it as.

@ Bloodyghost

It looks very pixaleted... thats just what i can say...
If youre not a freak for "top notch" graphics like i am.. you will have fun on your 360 with crysis 2. But as a hardcoe Pc gamer you will get a bad headache because of the blurred and pixaleted pictures.
Its a question about what you are playing with since now.
If you have played Crysis 1 on insane high ( with msters and rygels) with multiple AA and stuff... the xbox version is not for you.
But if you like Halo and Killzone 3..you will probably even like Crysis 2 for consoles.

still getting the ps3 crysis2 reason is because i dont have a good pc anymore am saving up for one again but for now am playing my ps3 and i think from what i saw it looks like crysis one on a good day

i was at gamescom and the crysis2 on xbox360 was not as bad as somebody is making it out to be,it was great looked good enought for me .
yes the pc one will be great but we know that not everybody out there has a comp to play it in full power,so just stay true to ur self enjoy crysis that comes your way i even know that the 360 crysis2 looked better than some crysis gameplays i saw on crysis one on a pc

just know that its better than COD mw2 and better than bad company even far cry 2 so just be know its worth it

the multiplayer played at gamescom was the 360 game play so its worth getting also the ps3 one will be much better
