EDIT: what, did I say something about a HUD here?



That's probably because Uncharted 2 uses a different, much warmer 'ToD'? Because the graphics 'quality' of Crysis 2 looks very good.

well the graphics are just as good as cod mw2, but i hate the look of the aliens and the players hand looks too 'edgy' and blocky.
keep in mind the xbox 360 has fairly outdated everything hardware wise looking forward to pc shots

So, just me that noticed its in a pre-alpha stage, and none of this is final then? Although I do echo the sentiments on the HUD, it could do with being much darker than that, its rather difficult to see against bright backgrounds.

Also, I do question peoples obsession with graphics over substance. :rolleyes:

Those aliens look rather stereotype'ish. Feels like I've seen the legs before. And I wonder how this turned into those things (which by the way reminds me a lot about the Geth from Mass Effect, especially their legs).

Graphics looks fine, still waiting for PC screens, though.

To me it looks like the 'robot' is nothing more than some sort of suit for the alien. Take a look at the 'naked' aliens inside Crysis 1; you can see similar 'tubes' coming out of their back. Also they are probably the same grunts, the left one has those thing pulled down behind it's back.

Crytek is spending too much effort on promoting console graphics. Shows us CE3's full potential on PC already! I want to see some 1920 x 1200's with 16x AA and "Very High" settings on everything.

Thanks for the clarification

That said, can't wait till the release date gets closer so we can start seeing some more final shots

Meh..

HUD is terrible and too bright.
Screenshots show absolutely NOTHING that could get you hyped for the game.

Just tell us when we can expect to get our hands on the FREE CE3 or whatever to start modding

I guess I'm a bit underwhelmed..
Well, in the first pic, you can see the trees and the plants look perfect imo, SSAO is blending in really nice, shadows are a bit overdone (blurriness costs performance) nice particles with the alien shooting that guy (although where is the deferred lighting?), some minor anti-aliasing issues.. But i think that a more expressive ToD could have masked that.. CE has great lighting.

nice nice

but the old hud was better , bars were better and the old minimap was better
but good work crytek!

@ .gametime.

These Uncharted 2 pictures you have posted looks very much like cutscene screens, especially the first one. You can see how the camera blurs on the distant environment (which is not that common in game) but I don't own a PS3 so I have not played the game. Still, these screens seem very unlikely to be in game.

Also, have in mind that these two Crysis 2 screens are still work in progress. If you have any experience of the CryEngine 2 editor you can see that the second U 2 screen you posted is about the same level of graphic for an ordinary map you can accomplish in CE2. But I see your point. Try take a look at the architectural level of detail and as well on the objects. With a final Time of Day lightning on that you will have screens that crushes every competition, except IRL. =)

it looks awesome, but the firt thing i thought when i saw it, console, because like this, the alien "robots" could look better in crysis 1.

^This^

Omega_Apex - no, Uncharted 2 actually does look this good.

Hmm the HUD reminds me on the HUD of F.E.A.R. 2

The First-Person hands, looks a bit big or chubby?

If they made it 'smaller', I would happy as is )
