Crysis

2 8800s is outragous. As I said in my original comment, very few people have this type of shit.

Well i would only have one 8800GT but my mate in work was getting a new card and was selling his so picked that up for only €50.

I did have a couple of overheating problems with them at first because the room i have them in is allways fairly warm

I do actually. Kinda regret seeing as every game with the exception of Crysis will run fine on highest settings with a single 8800GT.
 
Quite a concession....considering before you rated Crossfire as being better than SLi:p:smirk:
 
depends on the cards aswell :wenger:

your 8800GT is slightly better than my card.
 
Sweet, I know feck all about system requirements though, I dont even know what graphics card I have, my processor is an AMD phenom 8250e triple core processor @ 1.90Ghz though.

I am able to play Blu Rays on it if that gives you much idea of what it can do?
 
Finally got myself a PC good enough to run this. Is it even a good game or just jizzworthy graphically?
 
A Crysis 2 beta has leaked. It contains the full game. I haven't played through it to find out if it's indeed playable but it is apparently a very polished version.

It runs better than Warhead on my puter.... It's playable but missing sounds and some bugs here and there.
 
For what it's worth, Crysis 2 on the PS3 is one of the most fun games I've played in a long time. Probably since Resistance 2 anyhow.
 
It's obviously about the platform listings for 1, but I thought they were planning on bringing it to consoles but after Warhead (which isn't listed as for consoles), they decided it was better to make number two a bit more with consoles in mind?
 
This all started when someone noticed that the Korean ratings agency put up Crysis with a rating for XB360, then people went digging. It could just be errors, but it would be an odd error to make for one, but two or more? Maybe they think that it's an easy port to their new engine, easy moola.

Well they did it with Far Cry I suppose. Though I'm sure they discussed doing a console port of Crysis and decided to build the sequel around consoles instead.
 
Announced for PS3 and Xbox 360 this morning, the original Crysis will be a downloadable game when it launches next month, and a bargain one at that.

Remastered for consoles with new lighting and effects, plus optimised Nanosuit controls, fine-tuned combat and full stereoscopic 3D support, it'll cost just £15.99 on PS3 and 1600 MS Points (about £13.71) on 360.

"We are extremely proud of what we were able to accomplish with Crysis," said Crytek CEO Cevat Yerli. "We set out to create a next-generation FPS and delivered a PC experience that became a benchmark for quality- and still is for many gamers even four years later.

"By bringing the single-player campaign to console, we believe we are again setting a new standard for quality in downloadable gaming," he added.

Crysis 2 could simply have been a design choice rather than a technological one, so maybe nothing other than having to squeeze the thing into 512MB of RAM? Cry Engine is well known to to have never really been optimised, so performance wise the game running at 720p or so with Cry Engine 2 it's possible that they have retained the same base game.

It was of course design choice, I'm talking about the gameplay here. They are saying they've "refined the experience" for consoles, so I wouldn't be surprised at all if it is dumbed (prime example would be the simple binoculars and lack or korean, or 2's pathetic way of leading you by the hand through everything). Also I bet suit energy is vastly slowed and there's less enemy placement.

It'd be nice to be wrong, because console gamers should get the full original in it's glory.
