Crysis 2

@Gameranand
Havent tried the High-res texture pack yet. The game already looks great with the dx11 patch and the improved dx9

Btw, since when did the high resolution textures started giving performance boost in video games? Never heard that kinda thing. lol
Its a high resolution texture pack, does nothing but replace the previous low res textures with the new high res ones. Obviously there will be a performance drop. Common sense

What are the minimal sizes for all..?

 

[cyborg47]

minimal sizes of what?

Well it did came with a patch no??? Thats why I thought that they will improve performance through the patch so that there won't be a performance drop if not a performance boost.

Its a quality upgrade patch, its bound to degrade fps, I really support crytek for bringing this patch out.

Yes and it is also meant to upgrade the visuals which you can notice also not the one which you won't. From what I have read so far it ain't worth it but still maybe I'll get it just for sake of Crysis 1 & warhead.

 

[cyborg47]

Lol..basing judgements on opinions now!? not even screenshots.
Get the patch and play the game first.

Nope, it has not come with the patch. The dx11 upgrade and High-res pack are only and strictly optional, and yes they are bound to degrade the fps.

 

[gameranand]

yes they are bound to degrade the fps

By how much???

Nope, it has not come with the patch.

I though it came with a patch as topgear gave three links. One for patch???(136MB)

I don't do that but I didn't liked the game itself very much so......

One is patch, does not have DX11, one is DX11 patch, has tess effects etc, one is texture pack, has textures etc.

OK thanks got it.

I think you lose tessellation if you go one notch down, so the 20fps has a price. Not sure of that though, saw it on neogaf.

quality difference is like 1%, meaning, you won't notice.

@ topgear
Oh thank god you saved me. I thought I had to download the whole damn 10GB for DX11.

What are the minimal sizes for all..?

The game just got more future proof to test and benchmark the performance of upcoming and future gfx cards

nobody's gonna remember this game like they did Crysis.

I guess Witcher 2 will be better used for benchmarking than this one.

Agreed. +1000000

Cry2 is not worth the 2nd pass through. Be it Dx10,11,12,13,15.....nth.

I forced my self to complete the first pass, and then the final sissy boss fight. Duh. And the cut-scenes got worse and worse and game play deteriorated. AI was dumb from level 1, so no worries for that...!

 

[Skud]

Here's a gallery of improvements, just the graphics:-

The Crysis 2 Ultra Upgrade > Gallery > Atomic


Nothing to say about the gameplay, AI etc.

 

[comp@ddict]

Well, you cant make dumb AI smart with a patch.

 

[gameranand]

Nah saw the screenshots this game ain't worth my time. I took a lot of pain to complete it my first place already not gonna do it again also I can't actually notice any improvements so whats the use of improvements which I can't even notice. What the hell I'll do with effect on water with bullets I have to shoot enemy here not the freakin water. LOL.
