Stll no DX11 Announcement?

Post » Sat May 22, 2010 9:45 am

Well, I for one was willing to let slide the "DX11 not at release" but the fact that the PC version of Crysis 2 is bug ridden is where I am really pissed with Crytek. Freaking website that should have beta written all over it, redeeming code not working, nano catalyst dropping to ZERO in game, lack of customization in game settings.

It almost seems like Crytek only beta tested the console versions and left the PC community with a marginal product. I am not going to have high expectations in the future when Crytek introduces their next game.

They need to patch more than just ParallaxOcclusionMapping : from what i saw bout DX11, Tesselation & stuff - POM is almost old stuff, Displacement mapping + ease of use of Tesselation is the next best thing. Though they nailed it with HDR/SSAO/PostMSAA/etc. Plus i still think 3DOcean tech looks best on PC (obviously). I let you in on a secret guys : i still wanna buy the game, even though unable since - a) don't have too much ca$h for it & it doesn't matter since b) it didn't shipped yet to Israel (buying it through Steam is not my cup of coffee either - i got a full SamHD game to purchase instead, sorry :)). But i might [re]think about purchasing it (Crysis 2), if EA/Crytek will pull this "no DX11 for you PC gaming guys this month/time, sorry" type of heist. What was the other thing i wanted to say when said that they need more than just to patch POM ? They need to patch your pockets with money in case & there won't be DX11 patch (since it should be), but most important - they need to patch our PC gamers beleife in them as PC gaming tech pushers. Currently i said, i repeat - they did partially lost my beleife in them as the ones that develop next-gen PC hardware taxing games. DOF with Bokeh filter & multiGPU/multithreaded rendering support & optimizations is all good & stuff, but DX11 ? Judging from screens - DX9.5 maybe + sharper than in C1 textures. I hope that i lost my beleif in them for nothing, since they are not exactly the ones that invented ca$h-cow milking (though judging from this situation they do look like the ones that know how to do it & doing it, unfortunatelly), but if they will pull this heist............. EA is known for it : The Sims, Spore, Dead Space, even NBA/NFS/etc... & EASports trademark, but Crytek ? This will definitelly be f***ed up, if EA/Crytek pull it. It will definitelly ring in my head : Metro 2033 & rest, but not C2, nor Crytek anymore. Hope that atleast by March 26th or by beginning of April (April 2nd, not April 1st :)) something, some news will surface. I still have my beleif in you Crytek.

P.S. Contact them (EA/Crytek) relentlessly with this issue, people. Seriously - contact them.

2mauricessid :

That was an old news, same happened to DX11 tab in GeForce.com 2/3 days before the initial launch of game @ March 22nd. Jump to next wagon in these forums, it's called 3 games to get DX11 patches. Guess my beleif in them Crytek is not yet lost - i think we getting the fruits out of bashing on Crytek in forums + i think some few actually sending the angry mails to EA/Crytek afterall. I'm off to this thread, those that interested the name - repeat - "3 games that get DX11 patches" or something along the lines. Good luck to us eager PC gamers to finally get what we - rightfully - deserve : DX11 Tesselation & stuff in otherwise awesome piece of code called Crysis 2. That or f*** EA/Crytek, Metro 2033 & Unigine Heaven 2.1 have better potential as DX11 apps, than this game. Cheers all. Seeya in afforementioned thread.
