PCA: "Crysis 2 is a competent enough shooter, but some of us expected a bit more from the developer that set the graphical benchmark on the PC.
Crysis was the game that enthusiasts bought new hardware for, and the expectation was that Crysis 2 would be the next system killer. Instead, it doesn't even bother to include a control panel for graphics options."
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.

i wouldnt day ruined i would say made it better in a way alot of gamers who hadnt played crysis 1 on the pc now have a chance are enjoying crysis 2
I honestly don't understand why PC gamers feel that Crysis has to stay only in hugely open environments. Is it realistic to expect that the aliens are only ever going to attack unpopulated islands in their quest to destroy us? No of course it isn't.
I feel that in many places Crysis 2 gives you more options or at least makes you think more before getting into a firefight that the original did. In Crysis you could approach every battle without really utilising your suit. However, that is not possible in C2 which I think is for the better.
how about console gamers didnt even want a sub par game called crysis lol...
you guys can't have it both ways. with games like battlefield 3, metro 2034 and all multi-plats that you thump your chest over then blame consoles because crytek took a half step backwards with crysis 2.
Gotta love the consolization of my favorite PC games.
