I'm not a graphics whore, not by any stretch of the imagination, but that was just horrible!!! Crying or Very sad It looked like someone had smeared Vaseline all over the screen....

Textures were hideously low-res, framerate was poor, aliasing up the wazzoo. Just damned UGLY.

I'll wait for the PC version.


Strange Sabin.I decided it to give it a go on the ps3 and it's a pleasant surprise for me.It's not that bad.Framerate was great.I play on a 47'' tv, 2.70m away so i didn't notice aliasing.Ofc i'll wait for pc version too because i can't play a fps with a controller.

its kinda funny how they FUCKED UP the whole control system on consoles by binding 4 things to one button ... like if you press select you can upgrade your suit [its the cut RPG aspect from Part One that was cut but they added it to part two] but if you hold select for 5 seconds you get to a weapon MOD menu ...
the same is with running , sliding [hold B when run sprint for 5 seconds , but if you only press B you can only duck], cover hugging [hold LT near a cover to pop some caps , hold it for 1 sec to auto aim and kill] ETC......

I don't actually mind that. It's one of the reasons I don't play PC games anymore. I can never remember the keyboard combinations and mapping therefore at least with a controller I've got limited options Smile

Liking the game. Best graphics I've seen on the x360 so far and liking the sound system. I do tend to reply on cloaking far too much though. Turns into a game of hide and seek most the time.

Will no doubt download and run on my PC just to see what it looks like but happy enough to run through on xbox right now.

Edit: Does the PS3 version (or xbox for that matter) have 3D enabled?

Other than the nano/weapon upgrade menu, the other functions are implemented in other games, so it's noting new to get used to. FC2 and Bulletstorm have "tap crouch while sprinting to slide", CoJ 2 and, I think, Killzone 2/3 have cover hugging and LT to auto aim is in basically every FPS since MW.


The thing I don't like is the nano suit powers. I would have liked to have the option to chose between 2 modes for the nano suit powers, the version witch Crysis 2 has (witch imo is crap) and the version witch Crysis 1 had (witch imo is way better). Why simplify a thing only to make it worse; you loose too much control over the suit in Crysis 2, witch is exactly the opposite of what you want from a 2.0 version of the nano suit.

LE: x360 has 3D support for what I think is 3D TV. I believe the ps3 has it as well.

I´m about half-way done with the game, and apart from a few visual gripes, its been mostly fun.

My my problem is with the lack of "visibility", i have a hard time making out the enemies, also the FOV is limited (for lack of a better description), it ends up being a very "claustrophobic" experience, even tho the maps are huge.

I've put this game to one side now, I had only put a hour or so into playing it anyway but wanted to play the full thing on the PC version.

Ps3 version looks and runs very nicely I thought. The low res textures are because it's a console not a pc, but for a sony it's decent.

I like the way you can still do things like you could in the original. For example; cloak up, sneak up to the nub next to their vehicle, stealth kill him. Steal the vehicle, drive towards a manned guard tower, jump out and super leap up and do a power melee take down on him.

@cobalt: using one of the shoulders as a shift button along with the right analog with the originals radial menu would have worked for me. I don't like the way it is now either. It slows things down when you want it to be quick!.

I have to say, although the suit is dumbed down alot in it's functions, gameplay is still very interesting and diverse.
You can stealth a lot (and it it FUN compared to other "stealth" titles!), you can go all in with armor, you can try to speed past many enemies. There are many possibilites, and although most areas are quite small, it works really well.
What annoys me is the short downtime of the suit. It recharges WAY to early and to fast. Having to wait double the time until it starts recharging, and then a slower recharging process would have made the game so much more intense.

I was just behind a pillar in stealth, peaked around and saw an enemy. Shot him in the head, thus loosing all my energy. He didn't die though. But until he managed to walk around the pillar, I was fully charged again and could just cloak, so that he didn't see me. And then after receiving a headshot from like 2 meters he was "oh, must have been nothing". Laughing

Just tried the PS3 version and i'm not sure why peole rave so much about the graphics because they aren't that impressive. Sure it's OK for a console but personally i think that Killzone look better than this.

Should be amazing on PC though , especially if DX 11 is properly implemented.

Finished my playthrough. Took me ~11hours (yeah I took my time with this game )I've gotta say - it's the best fucking story driven fps. It drags a bit during first missions but boy oh boy does it get better from like the 3rd one. Simply amazing, graphics look great on xbox aswell. And to all the derps that dare to compare it to Call of Derps.... i pity you.

It's for the PC, a simple google will bring your the result on nextgenupdate. A god mode has been found on the 360, but it's a glitch on multiplayer.

Allright so I burned this thing, now when I start it up it says I need to install an update which fails. (unreadable disk)

I know I can download the update from the website and install it from an USB or similair.
But is it safe for me to install this update?
Cuz I'm running an old firmware 1.51 (Liteon) and patch my games to wave 3 in order to make em work.

Will this fuck-up my box, or am I good to go.
btw, I dont play online, and my last burned game is Fight night which works fine.

Finished it on normal in 6:30hours (you can look at the stats after you finish the game)

WOW! it was fucking amazing!

The last 2 hours of the SP was epic... You mostly play as the predator and feel all mighty as fuck.

I give it 9/10 not higher because I don't like the MP at all.

Thats what I liked about the first game, how it was you were like a predator. Once you had gotten used to the nanosuit. It was like that for the first half of the game and what I thought was the best part; untill the aliens showed up and all went to pot, then you needed the nanosuit just to survive.
Thanks for the heads up on the finish times guys.
