Crysis 2 Screenshots Go In-Game

The shader effects and what not look outstanding.

That said, it's somewhat obvious that the textures have been 'consolfied' as they seem to be fairly low resolution. IMO, high resolution textures, plenty of them, and ones that fit the enviroment that the game is trying to sell is what makes a good looking game from one that looks at best OK. HL2 still looks pretty fantastic 6 years later due to the excellent textures used. Doom 3 looked outstanding due to the special effects (Joe Blow term). However, the textures left a lot to be desired, and it shows greatly today.

I'm just not impressed by the screenshots I see. I'd rather have a game missing a few new shader effects, in return for one with better texture and higher resolution texture art, along with a finely crafted gameplay experiance. (Every single Valve developed Half-Life game to date)

Textures and models seem way less impressive in this screenshot than OG Crysis.

I don't think they'll ever be able to top the wow-factor of the original Crysis/CryEngine2, that tech was so far ahead of it's time...consolification certainly doesn't help the situation. Still I'll buy this one for PC - no doubt.

FOV looks rather tight... hope that's just my imagination.

I hope that you actually get to use the good guns throughout the game. I was kinda annoyed that I ended up using an AK-47 for most of the game with a few spots of the sniper rifle. The limited amount of ammo for the good weapons really made me feel like I was being controlled by the developers and not by my imagination.

Looks subpar. Are these console shots or something?

Graphics nice but even in those 2 shots the levels look potentially quite linear.
I know Crytek's schtick is forests but damnit they do it well, Crysis was great and Warhead was pretty good :(

this isnt going to be rendering natively at 1080 on a console. no way.

well see when the game comes out what it really looks like.

I am more interested in the multiplayer. I am not expecting the single player game world to be as large and open as it was in the first one.

low poly geometry of the background buildings has me nervous. This really is going to suck on PC cause that's one thing no one ever fixes for PC ports is level LOD complexity. Models looks good so i guess that's where the whole poly budget is getting blown.

Screw next gen graphics... I want awesome graphics that runs well.

Do that crytek and I'll kiss you're feet.

Wish they'd show a screenshot that gave us a sense of the draw distance and overall cityscape.

But as for the guns in the original games, they had enough upgrades in scopes and ammo to make things interesting. There were also missile launchers and mines and the alien gun. Was good enough. The heart of the gameplay was the use of powers, not the variety of weapons.

I don't like the HUD.

Wow, this is so amazing. I can't wait!

I'll take one.

Oh Crysis, you beautiful bastard, i'm happy to see you again.

This dude looks like he ran away from fear 2:
