Comic Book Guy Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Sorry, no Crysis 2 for you this year. ZoomA post over on Crytek's official modding forum reveals that the company does not anticipate a release of Crysis 2 this year, reporting that Crytek currently has no official ship date schedule despite the game's estimated October 30 release. Serving as the first title built upon Crytek's new CryEngine 3 (and the developer's first console game), the game will appear on the PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3 when it eventually hits retail shelves. ?The development of Crysis 2 marks a major stepping stone for our studio,? said Crytek CEO Cevat Yerli back in June. ?This is not only the next game in the Crysis franchise, it?s the first title we are developing for consoles and the first title being built on CryEngine 3. We are excited to have the support of EA Partners again as we work together to make the launch of Crysis 2 a huge event.? Expect additional details to become available towards the end of the year.

Hell, even my 64 bit quad core has a tough time playing it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pupik Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Hell, even my 64 bit quad core has a tough time playing it! You should get a [better] graphics card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartan Erik Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Depends on what resolution you're playing the game.. the true test is towards the end of the game when you're on the aircraft carrier. At 1080p, even a GTX 260 will struggle a little Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far Cry = Cryengine 1 Also this has probably been posted but......Cryengine 3 first look: I saw a comparison that I can't find now of Cryengine 2 vs Cryengine 3. If the video I'm thinking of is correct then Cryengine 3 is just a port to consoles of Cryengine 2. Look at the draw distance(around 1:18 in the video) for example, and when a tree is shot down, the shadow/animation is not rendered as nicely. So Cryengine 2 is still more advanced I think...don't quote me on this though.

Skulltrail Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 At 1080p, even a GTX 260 will struggle a little *sigh* I'm hate Crysis... it makes even the most expensive video cards cry. Poor devices...:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnePostWonder Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 lol, did anyone else expect it this year? Crytek are notoriously slow on release dates. Not as bad as others, but... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
