MadOverdose.com writes: It’s no secret that Crytek have a high reputation for pushing hardware to it’s limits. In fact, it was only until last year that I had a system with enough testosterone to enjoy the original Crysis with the visual flair that was originally intended. While for many this may be considered a bad thing, there’s no denying that their games are more than just visual benchmarks – they’re solid titles by their own merits and often makes it hard to resist buying that new graphics card or computer upgrade to get the ‘complete’ experience. Crysis 2 is now available for PC and current generation consoles – but has Crytek outdone themselves once again, or is it just a dumbed down tech demo riding on graphics alone to make bank?
Featuring the complete nanosuit experience, The Crysis Trilogy has now joined the EA Access vault as a title that's free for those that subscribe to the EA service on Xbox One consoles.
YouTube’s members ‘Digital Dreams’ and ‘Jose cangrejo’ have shared some videos, showcasing Pascal Gilcher’s Reshade mod – which adds Ray Tracing/Path Tracing effects – in some really old games such as Star Wars The Force Unleashed, Crysis 2, RAGE and Resident Evil 6.
I'm still learning how to look for the differences. At first I was focusing on shadows for some reason but I don't think that changes much, is it reflections that change?
It supposed to add more realistic light Not actually more light effects and explosions
I hate to say it but I’m fine with fake lights, shadows, reflections. I just kind of like the effect, it’s also great it saves resources for other things.
I’ve been checking out some original Xbox games on x360/x1x and the engine has fake light streaming in through a stained glass window, and I love it even though I know it’s not real time lighting. Heck it even shifts as I move about.
I’ve about convinced my self rt and hdr just doesn’t work for me. Before hdr I would even complain damn why are the headlights killing me they are so bright.
I notice most frame rate, then jaggies, then resolution; with the last two interchangeable depending.
Other day watched an enthusiast rave over 4k and the poor guy was in 1080p. I played the same game the night before and thought wow this is clean, I wonder if it’s 4k, but knew differently and I thought wow even resolution is not always important. The next day he apologized and was surprised he could be fooled.
How come the lightsabers don't give off any light? Even in the EA star wars game the guy uses it to light up a dark cave. I guess if it is using frostbite it will support rtx cards.

its a 8/10
long story 10-12hrs not a great but good story much better than most fps set pieces
online can get frustrating with the powers some powers are well really more powerful than others it needs more balancing
frame rate is a issue that can hopefully be fixed with a update along with some screen tearing
its the best looking FPS on a pc
on consoles its neck and neck with KZ3
both of these fps will have a clear winner when later this year BF3 launches
Maybe when Brink Launches.
In any case they may need a pretty serious AI patch. You can fritz up the SP AI with the cloaking somehow. I've accidently done it three times now. I'm trying to get where I can do it on purpose so it can be like the warthog grenade launch of Crysis 2.
