“Console gamers are going to enjoy their SUB-HD 720p Crysis 2 :3 owww”
This is why you’re called a fanboy, get it yet?
It’s the gaming experience that matters most, not the graphics for fuck sakes, sure it’ll look better but it still looks fine on console & most people aren’t willing to buy a new cpu & gpu or entirely new computer every time a new highest performance game comes out so a console is an excellent alternative.

Fanboy of good performance? Oh, thats cool :D

“It’s the gaming experience that matters most”

so you hate good graphics? Ggg

“better but it still looks fine on console ”

Yeeaaaah… SUP-BAR 720p on 1080p console with temporary AA and low settings. Go lie to yourself in front of the mirror.

I’m going to make some screenshots te-hee… It’s going to be like HD consoles and Wii comparisons :D

Regardless of your opinion it does look fine on console, what you meant to say is that it looks fan-fucking-tastic on PC but they’re still different animals so as I’ve told you literally over a dozen times, stop comparing them!

All these PC-console comparisons are starting to become laughable..no, pathetic even. Yes we know that PC will be miles ahead of consoles, hell…they have always been? Big breaking news , wow…sigh. But what was that saying again? It’s not only about graphics. At the end of the day Crysis 2 in terms of gameplay will be exactly the same whether you play on PC or on the consoles. Oooooh but the PC has AA and looks so much better, yeah at the beginning you will drool and what not, but you’ll get used to it pretty quickly and then it’s just one and the same game.

I’m a consumer and they care about their consumers if they want me to buy their game.

“Serves you right for being such an annoying fanboy.”

Fanboy of what?

I’m a PC fanboy because Crytek did a good job making a great looking game on PC and on console not? (Because of console hardware) !?

No because of the way you keep comparing them, we all know that the PC is superior but that doesn’t refrain you from mentioning it… again & again & again.

The irony is that consoles look just fine and at least in most games maintain a consistent framerate. I was amazed at how good MW2 looked on the 360, and especially at how well it ran. It’s not like people are going to be missing anything.

As someone who’s spent thousands of dollars on PC hardware, I can see how some people might feel the need to justify that to the world. I don’t really have an explanation personally, I’ve just been playing on PC’s since 1990, and I don’t think I’ll ever stop :P

I think it’s a lot cuter that Erth thinks EA cares beyond getting him to buy their game, though.

” I was amazed at how good MW2 looked on the 360, and especially at how well it ran. It’s not like people are going to be missing anything.”

because MW2 was developed specifically for Xbox 360. Pc and Ps3 version were ports.

While PS3 version was bad, PC version was ok just because of the hardware that most PC users can upgrade.

@KL, you have problems, butt hurts?

“ps.nice looking blood sprites those beloved Crytek guys of yours have done,don’t they?”

and what is the problem with blood sprites on the screen? Are you a fucking idiot? It’s just a signal that you are damaged.
you are in the suit asshole.
You are dead when battery life of the suit is empty. Retard.

i love my consoles for easy playing on couch,i beg to differ on the same experience on pc and console.when i play deadspace2 on pc at 120hz the reaction,input lag it quite a bit noticable to be honest,im not into bitching about whats best,pc,console fights.I love all gaming but i can maturely appreciate whats better and being fortunate enough to be able to compare is nice,i would be just as happy if i only had x360 but ive got all 3,sorry if that upsets some of you.
Get a job,save up and enjoy the full range of gaming thats possible,or nearly die in a car crash and use the compo to buy all like me.
Fuck this forum for all the bitching that goes on,apart from that,its a cool site.

Oh wow. I have to say this is one of the worst console ports ever made. Seriously, only three graphical settings? What is this Soldier of Fortune 3? Why can’t i change motion blur? This game is a mess. I’m glad to have the chance to play the demo, because i’m not going to waste my money on this console port any time soon.

Gameplay is slow and dragging, something i didn’t expect in a game with Nano Suits. The main menu is also ripped from Killzone 2.

@34: Unfortunately I have to agree with you. I was a big fan of FarCry and Crysis 1. Such a dissapointement.

I personally would have much preferred a Single-Player demo over this, but hey, what can you do. Looks fantastic! And it runs very nicely too. My slightly ageing GTX 280 still has some juice left in her apparently. :)
