BF2S Forums Cry3 versus Cry2

But is the PC getting CE3 for Crysis 2?

Hope not, the CE2 engine is great, especially since now most people can run it pretty well, unlike when it came out you had to have a "Super computer" which now is just a medium end rig.

K @ the end of the video.

CE3 is just CE2 but optimized so heavily that it can run on the shit hardware of the consoles. CE3 will look as good as CE2 on a PC but it will run better. That's the whole point of it.

So is the CE3 demo shown demonstrated on consoles only?  I hate the crappy draw distance - that would piss me off if I was running a PC that could display a barrel a lot longer than that.

Just confused about the "CE3 will look as good as CE2 on a PC but it will run better. That's the whole point of it." because I'm not sure I'd buy the game for anything but the eye candy really.

Awesome!

I never understood why people buy consoles though, they've got crap controllers for FPSs, the graphics and gameplay is limited and all this for a cheap price in a plastic box.

PC gaming rigs FTW

Heck they're pretty cheap too!


Hope Crysis 2 is epic

1) Console specific releases (Killzone, MGS, Halo (3), skate., MLB: The Show, etc.)
2) Seemless integration with friends list & active community playing
3) When you buy a game for PS3/Xbox360, you don't say "I hope my GFX card can handle this/pc can handle this" you pop it in and it plays, no fiddling with any GFX settings
4) less hacks/aimbots in most online play (GTA:IV online on PS3/X360 is at least bearable)
5) Once you get the hang of it, playing an FPS will a controller becomes second nature.

I could go one, but I'd rather not waste both our time.  You get the point; each has it's advantages and disadvantages.

Imo the advantages swing more towards PCs than Consoles.

Especially for fast paced first person shooters.

What computer graphic card and processor could you say the Xbox 360 has? What card and processor are the most similar, so I can get the idea.

It's crap compared to my PC at least.
