Crysis 2 “aiming to set the graphical benchmark”, says Crytek

crysis2

Forget Uncharted 2, forget God of War III and forget Halo: Reach: Crysis 2 is looking to be the best looking game on consoles.

We’re aiming to set the graphical benchmark,” said executive producer, Nathan Camarillo, speaking to PSM3.

Why would anyone not want to play a game with the best graphics they have ever seen, great gameplay, some engaging fiction, challenging AI, killer weaponry and a complete gaming experience like no other.”

He also said that, despite the challenges, developing for PlayStation 3 is something the dev is “happy to accept”.

Crysis 2 is set to release sometime between July and September, possibly even on September 25.

the only single player game that will surpass crysis will be project offset or maybe thief 4 from what I have seen so far.

@5 they already did it. Crysis one looks GRAPHICALLY superior then Uncharted 2 about 10-15 times and its a 2007 game.

Design is worse, but thats another story.

from the demo of Cryengine 3 on consoles i saw at best: Medium settings with few high setting effects of Cryengine 2 and it looks like any multiplatform game.

and PC Crysis can run on Ultra with Direct X11. Thats going to be a real shit.

That’s impossible for Crytek to beat God of War III if their engine has to accomodate the XBox 360 AND the PS3.

Time to warm up my extra dimensional super computer again, its time for another Crysis title.

Considering we’ve not even seen concept art for Thief 4, I find it hard to believe you can compare it to crysis 2.

1. what a bunch of losers, comparing crysis 2 with other console titles when every half-smart person knows that PCs have the best graphics available. which brings me to 2. that guy is holding an XM8 in his hands and yet no one mentions anything about the bfbc2 graphics?

@8 You can’t seriously think Crytek are top tier developers. They might be good at throwing every shader effect at the screen that they can, but they know bugger all about making a game fun to play. They clearly learned nothing making Far Cry because all the same gameplay flaws were present in Crysis.

I’d like to see Crytek stop trying to make games that need dual 5970s and actually concentrate on making something fun to play first.

and from the looks of it, i’d say they’re on target to meeting that goal.

@15 what? WHAT? Crytek is a top tier 3rd party German developer. They achieved a lot.
They have best German programmers and designers. They are genious.

Every game that they did i loved and Crysis is my favourite shooter of all time (except Crysis: Warhead)

All they need now is an equally excelent art director who can guide them into something more visually interesting then just “realistic man makes things explode, sometimes with trees”.

I really enjoyed Far Cry, but Crysis just felt like a glorified tech demo to me. Stealth and gunplay is monstrously hard to balance, and I don’t think they really mastered it, even though it was gorgeous yadayadayada.

blackdreamhunk,

I’m sorry to say, your powerful PC will never play GoW3, Uncharted 1/2, MGS4, WipOut HD, and GT5.

See, you’re a fucking PC fanboy. People know that PC is superior, but that doesn’t mean graphics are everything for a game.

Grow up.

bah, cmon on someone finaly ban BDH..
hes pathetic all the time..

Whatever..

ive played Unchartd 2 just yesterday, and it still lokks way better then anything else, also Gow3 in my eyes.
So i think it will be hard for crytek to achieve this.. even more with multiplat..

But lets see.. they pulled crazy shit with crysis, so why not..
