Crysis 2 PC Demo [Download link]

i wish i was able to play even 2 mins of it, but seems i am part of the group who either cannot connect, or says it has no connection...oh well..

Well its not the looks, its that twitchy speedy-fly-ie gameplay

I liked Far Cry 1, never tried 2 as I heard that it went downhill.

I personally quite like how it looks, though I am not expecting anyone here to like it as well. The general rule of thumb is that anyone disinterested in the mainstream video game market doesn't like bloom nor motion blur, even in the slightest cases of either.

Motion blur and bloom are good effects, they're just overused, and put to extreames in alot of mainstream games.

Well, it's not much. It's the singleplayer most people are looking forward to anyway.

I hear ya, PuFu. I barely got past the account creation thing today. now, I just have to wait for the game to let me in. keeps saying my username is invalid and whatnot.

whatever, I'll just watch Zipper5's videos in the meantime.

@Foxhound
sounds like you got a nice setup, man. I can't wait to upgrade again (had to roll back to a 9800gtx, just last month).

Doesn't seem to be worth the trouble. I mean aim assist, really?



And of course the usual...

Blur is a horrible effect used to mask low framerates.
Spending a bundle on hardware to get high frame rates and high resolutions for a crystal clear fast moving picture.....and then getting a blurry image, bites.

Well, it's good for me as I get low framerate anyway.

I use Tequila to get that.

Deadfast, that video is just amazing. Funny and sad at the same time. My thoughts exacly.

Crysis 1 still looks a hell of a lot better and didn't have the bloom and blur at levels Crysis 2 does.

The visuals are still good despite them but it just doesn't have the HOLY F$%#!!! effect the first did when you loaded it up.

It's clearly been consolized.

Why do I need to register for a freakin demo? -.-

Because the game uses unlocks, XP points and such which are saved on a remote server.
