Crysis 2
Crytek, Electronic Arts | Released Mar 21, 2011
The world has been ravaged by a series of climatic disasters and society is on the verge of total breakdown. Now the aliens have returned, with a full invasion force bent on nothing less than the total annihilation of mankind, starting by trying to rip the heart out of Earth's most iconic city. In New York, terrifying alien invaders stalk the streets and a nightmare plague strikes down the city's myriad inhabitants with brutal epidemic speed. The city's systems are in chaos, its streets and skyline are smashed and in flaming ruin. This is New York City like you've never seen it before. Neither paramilitary law enforcement nor the might of the US military machine can stand against the invaders, and all who choose not to flee are dead men walking. Just to survive in this maelstrom of death will require technology beyond anything any modern soldier has ever seen. One man will inherit that means to survive. One supersoldier, wielding the combat enhancement technology of the future.

Alright. This is beautiful. All of it. The reflections. the water. The Bokeh. The tessellation. The real motion blur. All amazing. I'm glad we get this instead of some of that halfassed crap like they pulled with Crysis 1. Definitely worth the extra wait. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go buy myself a GTX 580 and Windows 7. I hope Frostbite 2 has something good up their sleeves, because this is the next generation.

Who the heck buys win7
Responsible adults with income?
Someone with a distrust for torrents, a belief that hard work should be rewarded, and the contacts to score windows 7 at a much more reasonable price.
Anyone care to elaborate on why I got Karma raped?
Awesome! I've been waiting for this before I purchased Crysis 2. I look forward to trying this out on my new computer!
crysis games are like 3Dmark right now :P but for games
Quite pefetic when they release something that had to be in the game in the first place, to bad crytek went the console way... If it was pc exclusive I bet it would look much more awesome that this.
Widespread multiplatform launch but with PC getting the extra awesome stuff sounds pretty good to me ;)
Safe to say, "I came" by looking at the graphical output presented in the video. However! Graphics are only a factor in a games success - and that's why Crysis 2 is THAT much better than Crysis 1 ;)
I got this on xbox 360 but as soon as they announced mod support i traded it in for LA noire :D may need to buy it again on PC now when mod tools come out.
About time. Can't wait for my GTX580 to cry :)
Dude, you're in the clear. My new 550ti will run DX11 extreme with the HiRes textures at well over 30 FPS. The game is still well optimised. You're card will have a breeze.
tell me, do all custom texture i add that has normal maps will use this tesselation instantly(if i aplied it)?
Not how Tessellation works i'm afraid:
Nvidia.com
plus, i will try this ultra settings on my 460 gtx
Crysis 2 MOD SDK Mycrysis.com is out
Bummer, can't download the SDK as both mycrysis and crymod seem to be flooded with traffic, the websites won't even load correctly :P
It's quite alright, I didn't want to be able to run Cyrsis 2, anyway
I don't see that much of a difference with DirectX 11 and the new textures. Also, they should make a FoV setting at the options. I tried playing multiplayer last night again and I didn't get a kill because I'm not used to such a narrow FoV. But yeah.. yay sandbox 3.
It's really hard to not see a difference if you know what to look for.
