If crysis PC is just a port with the same graphics and physics as the console games i will be very dissapointed. There is so much possiblity in the PC but not as much with the Xbox or PS3. and i was really hoping for a great graphics game on my pc and a better gameplay game on my xbox.

It will be exactly the same. Won't even have keyboard support. Only a controller.

Neither version is a port, they create the maps and everything at the same time on all three versions.



Is the crysis 2 is a port discussion/flamewar going to start again? :S

so the graphics wont be any better on the PC...****

pc version will be better said yevat cerli in a interview

Cry-Tom/Lee said something similar in a thread recently.

PC version by far will be superior from the rest. We know this.

Crytek are using their very amazing piece of technology known as "LiveCreate", which allows them to simultaneously develop any games all at the same time.

Then they can perhaps alter each version, making it stand out more for each of the platforms.

I believe they use the same objects but with better quality for the PC?

They DID talk about different "Roofs" and the PC has a higher one. (The roofs are simply the capabilities of the consoles)

There'll be some extra graphical tassles, and the PC will use the real textures (consoles use extremely shruken, low resolution textures equivalent to sub-low settings). The overall gameplay will be similar, but the PC version will obviously be easier due to being able to shoot far more accurately (crytek will almost certainly scale the difficulties on the PC though to suit the better control scheme).

For the most part they will be the same game though, but that doesn't make the game a 'port', it makes it a cross platform game. Unfortunately that does bring with it some restrictions (you can't make a large variation of maps due to dvd storage space on the 360 for example), but it doesn't make it a bad game in any way, shape or form.

But anyways, the PC version will look far better.

I salute and Agree with this.

exactly, because consoles are limited in their raw power, and cant be upgraded. The PC can and always will have better graphic capabilities, able to constantly achieve more than the consoles. Crysis 2 is no exception to this. Crytek has said that Crysis 2 will look twice as good as the first for the PC, so fear not, the PC version IS NOT a port. if anything, Crytek maxed out the power usage from the consoles for the best look.

Crysis 2 is NOT a port, the PC will give you the best experience garenteed

@ implosion

Crytek pomised a lot in the past.
The thing with the "it will look twice as good as crysis 1" has been taken back more or less. In fact Crysis 2 wont stand a chance against a modded Crysis 1.
Its just because the Cryengine 3 isnt a whole new engine.. its just an optimized ( and for consoles scaled down to fit) Cryengine 2.

Dont get your expections beyond the sky only because of some promotional interviews.
Because everything thats in development must be advertised and praised..

you are a really funny guy! great joke bro! oh wait, you were serious eh? hmmm

you do realize that a modded Crysis 2 will be better than a modded Crysis 1 right? what proof do you have that CE3 is just CE2 for consoles?

have you watched ANY of the tech demos? if so you would see all the improvements from CE2 and see how it really is a new engine. one feature it has is the ability to sync the PS3 and 360 simoltaniously with the PC. but each of the consoles are pressed to the max.

so its like this: you design on the PC, and it automaticly syncs to the consoles. you can set the PC to any graphics settings you want, and the consoles are each maxed out for peak graphics.

this is just one feature of the CE3, it renders everything in realtime for each system, and allows for each one to have excelent graphics, the PC being the best (if your machine can handle it)

you say that its just optimized for consoles, but you provide no evidence for it.

so really the only scaling is for the consoles to actualy run the engine, but this in no way means the PC rendering for the engine was scaled down, you must understand that

Your probably right.

I hope this game has the capability to use up to 12 gigs of RAM and all multicores in a CPU if you have them.

I don't have all that (at least not today) but I hope the PC version has the capability.

And a non-clunky UI.


....

The fact that Crysis 2 will have tesselation on PC should be good enough to prove that PC is going to have wicked graphics. I can't wait to see what the CryEngine 3 is capable of!!!

The fact that Crysis 2 will have tesselation on PC We haven't yet revealed the full specs available for Crysis 2 on the PC, it may have DX11 capabilities, but we can't officially confirm that yet.

@ Implosion

Ive seen all the techdemos and even played Crysis 2 and im not impressed.
You speak of a modded Crysis 2 ..well thats far far away..and we do not even know if Crysis 2 will be modable like Crysis 1 was. Even the mods and new texture packs are more than 2 years old by now. And you seriously dont see the similiarities between Cryengine 2 and 3? Are you blind? At first Crytek themselfs came up with this comparison by showing Crysis 1 scenes on consoles.

Speaking of these techdemos:

I refer you to this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WJG14uLA3k

Cryengine 3 is clearly not a whole new Engine like the step up from Cryengine 1 to 2 or Far Cry to Crysis. As you said it.. the focus is on the consoles right now. Thats why this "real time scaling" thing is so important... And that is the "main" improvement from the Cryengine 3? Well no improvement for Pcgamers i think. A few new effects..and more detailed textures thats the "big" improvement so far..

CryEngine 3 has HUGE benefits in coding and production time, I dont think you seem to realize that. The CryEngine 3 has huge benefits in AI, Lighting, and just overall production time, with it being completely real time and WYSIWYG. It has DX11 support and Stereoscopic 3D, this in itself is a huge update over the CryEngine 2.


So seriously, what the heck are you smoking by saying the CryEngine 3 is just a small update from the previous version? All the evidence points in the opposite direction. Don't expect an update in graphics like Far Cry ---> Crysis because hardware simply hasn't advanced that much to allow an update like that! Your baseless assumptions make an ass out of yourself, as you have nothing to back it up.

@ talon95

First you dont have to be insulting... iam a non smoker..
Second: Have you seen the video that ive posted? I assume not..

Third: Hardware hasnt improved that much since Crysis ? So i will use your words:
"What the heck are you smoking? "

The fastest grfxcard for Crysis at its release was the Gtx 8800.
That was in 2007.
The fastest grfxcard for Far Cry at its release was the GeForce 6800 Ultra.
That was in 2004.
So compare these two cards. And tell me that difference is way bigger than the one from a Gtx 8800 to a Gtx 480!

Three years were enough for Crytek to create a huge diffrence between the two Engine Versions. But without the shadow of a doubt the Cryengine 3 is based on the cryengine 2... and again 3 years have passed...and yet there is not such a huge leap forward from Cryengine 2 to 3 or Crysis to crysis 2 to be seen. And as you can see the hardware actually has improved very much since 2007.

And now you will tell me that i make an ass out of myself by just collecting facts?

What does the GTX480 have that the 8800GT does not? DX11 and GF100 chip.

We have not seen any DX11 from the CryEngine 3 yet. To say its like CryEngine 2 when you have not seen a main point in the new engine, is not seeing the full picture yet. Once we get to see the full features in DX11 we can judge graphical quality. Many of the advantages the CE3 has is purely optimizational and developer oriented, whereas we still have yet to see the graphical end and how high it really can scale.

Sorry for being insulting, I was a bit over the top.

But you never know, Crysis was one of the first to implement DX10 to the max, its possible that it will be able to do the same with DX11 that other games can only dream of doing.

The new GTX 400 & Dx11 series is still in its beta years, let's just wait for the arrival of Ce3 to judge for ourselves. Dx10 was maxed with Ce2, whilst Ce3 should be for Dx11.

Ive found an interview for a games magazine. ( its in german but i will translate that part that i want to show ya)

Crysis 2: Not a graphical marvel.
Crysis 2 looks - as every Crytek game- already really good. But its not such a huge leap like from Far Cry to Crysis. According to Yerli this is because of the console capabillities once more: "As a pure PC game, it (Crysis 2) might have looked a trifle better, but even the assembly of the current graphical quality for the consoles was a tough job. But without consoles its financally not possible ("to exist") anymore."
