Indeed. It would have been better to port Crysis to the consoles and bring Crysis 2 to PCs first then eventually port it to the consoles. I hate playing sequels when I have not played the first, first.
They could have done it too. The console hardware isn't that much worse than what a lot of people were running back in 2007, and it would only have to run at 720p. Then console gamers could get the full experience.
I guess I will just get the original Crysis on the PC once I have sorted myself out and upgraded, and then play the sequel on a console once it is cheap and after I have finished the first. Problem solved in regards to the series.
The original is a great game, and not just because of the graphics. It has some really cool sandbox gameplay in huge outdoor environments with you wearing a suit that gives you super powers. I'd put it up there with Half-Life 2 as one of the best shooters ever made. As long as you have a dual core with 2GB of ram and a Geforce 8800 series card or better, you should have no trouble running the game.
För Sverige i tiden! @Phisix, Crysis 1 wouldnt give them the full experience we had on the pc with that game backthen, the graphics wouldnt be possible.
Crysis 2 isnt even a match versus Crysis 1 from 2007. Imagine that Crysis Warhead, and especially with the Ultra High mods (DX11), its a notch better. Consolized.
Now we know the specs side side for this game compared to the original. How well does the story and gameplay do?
Crysis 1 had very big and open fields, and things were destructeble. Crysis 2 is more of a corridor shooter compared to Crysis 1. Like i said, you would only not-like Crysis 2 if you have played the original.
I expected more then what i got to see. Deleted it right afterwards, cmdrmonkey's first post are exactly my words aswel.
You said that you'd only not-like Crysis 2 if you played the origninal. Since I haven't played the original I should be ok right? Ignorance is bliss as they say.
No, I'm making it better by not buying crappy games. Like anything else, I like to try before I buy. There have been plenty of games that I've downloaded off bittorrent to try and later bought because I liked them. I used to buy a lot of awful games based on positive reviews, so this is how I roll now.
Graphicz whor3z Everything maxed / 1920x1200, constant 50/60fps. Only the lighting did impress me. Thats it
