I bought an 8800gt to play Crysis in DX10 when it came out. Now with my DX 11 capable 5770, If I would be playing Crysis 2, it would in DX9. I don't have words to describe this.

Because it's the console version.

from review, German Magazine PcGamesHardware & my translation , it will probably bring:

- Tessellation
- Faster post processing
- Highest shader level (screen space ambient occlusion and parallax occlusion mapping)

my favourite DX11 feature.

I also hope this patch will bring graphic options, decrypt .ini files and destroy mouse acceleration.

You can even leave "press Start to play" Crytek. Just fix everything else.

br0ken_shad0w · Mar 1, 2011

Wow, it's hard to beat IW in terms of treatment of PC users thanks to consoles, but they sure are proving me wrong.

itxaka · Mar 1, 2011

eh...uh...eh..

ok. This game is looking worst every time there is news for them. The demo was pretty bad. But a directx11 patch?

Now tech people answer me,

1) shouldn't the game came with directx11 if the Pc was the main platform?
2) shouldn't the game came with directx11 if cryengine 3 supports it?
3) is this an indication of the game being made first and foremost for consoles and then making some PC add-ons?
4) no directx10 support? How that works? You can only have 10 or 11?

Stahsky · Mar 1, 2011

I've been conflicted on whether or not I should buy this. This news is not helping at all. =/

szaromir · Mar 1, 2011

Crytek is trolling us PC gamers. Luckily I wasn't interested to begin with.

Just dont buy it. I know i wont.

You're talking about a lot of the same people who lambasted the lack of dedicated servers in MW2 and still gulped down every last drop of IW/Activision's P2P load when the game was released anyways.

I've deduced that gamers are pretty weak in the knees when it comes to shit like this.

Amir0x · Mar 1, 2011

ok i'm officially skipping Crysis 2 now until they sort this shit

SirIgbyCeaser · Mar 1, 2011

This is horrible, this means that there is virtually hardly any advantages over the online leak and the final release :/

The game is going to have lots of excuses for poor PC sales.

V_Ben · Mar 1, 2011

ohohohoho. Wow.

Lucius86 · Mar 1, 2011

Who is worse - Bioware or Crytek? Both published by EA funnily enough....

I really am sad about this. It seems like PC gaming is getting more and more ignored.

Dreohboy · Mar 1, 2011

Uhm...

DAY ONE purchase still.

All this means is that the day one release will run fine on my 4870 that doesn't support DX11.

If true Crytek saved me $180 I was going to spend on a new Sapphire 6850 card just for Crysis 2.

I can't complain about that.

Plasma · Mar 1, 2011

Think I'll wait for a steam sale on this, no DX11 and the 3DS is coming out around the same time.

belvedere · Mar 1, 2011

Disgruntled PC elitists justified.

Consoles to blame again.

Dr. Malik · Mar 1, 2011

Appollowexx · Mar 1, 2011

This news makes me sad

Stinks of a slightly upgraded console port.

Spin Spin!

RedSwirl · Mar 1, 2011

On one end, this will give me more time to upgrade from my 8800GT. On the other end, the DX11 in this game is a lot of my reason for upgrading in the first place.

Because it is literally a console game that runs on your PC. Apparently they think the price should be the same.

Joe Molotov · Mar 1, 2011

Can't wait for the Steam sale! Hopefully the DX11 patch is out by December.

The irony.

poppabk · Mar 1, 2011

jett said:
What would DX11 add anyway? Nicer shadows and AA? Some performance gains maybe? Does C2 even support tesselation?

I would assume that as directx 10 and 11 are a different branch to directx9, implementing directx 11 means implementing directx 10 and 11 features.

1. Not exactly. The Witcher 2 comes to mind with this. But a game that is essentially built upon it's looks to have such limiting features on it's supposed main platform is extremely confusing.

2. It should, yeah.

3. It would seem that way after all these recent issues with the game.

4. I'm not sure myself on this one.

saelz8 · Mar 1, 2011

Hahahahaha!

electristan · Mar 1, 2011

This is hilarious, in a horrific way.

What has Crytech done right so far regarding this game? I honestly can't think of anything at the moment.

Same here. I have a GTX 260 Core 216 and it will max the game out at 1680x1050 and with over 30 fps - so I am happy about that - at least I won't have to run out and buy a new video card anytime soon.

theignoramus · Mar 1, 2011

and the source of this information is what? why is no one else reporting this?

Come on Crytek, what is it?

Version 3.0 · Mar 1, 2011

It's in the OP, click on the link.

Hylian7 · Mar 1, 2011

Why finish making the game before release if you can finish it afterward, right?

I'll wait for a Steam sale.

That's one way to raise money to finish development I suppose.

Insane Metal · Mar 1, 2011

What the

iam220 · Mar 1, 2011

I won't be able to play this game in DX11 until my upgrade later this year ... but uh, yeah ... wtf?

CozMick · Mar 1, 2011

I see the future of PC gaming!

modulaire · Mar 1, 2011

How about a small statement/post on the official site, Crytek?

They should seriously consider hiring new PR staff for their next project.

MisterAnderson · Mar 1, 2011

HOLY SHIT I CALLED IT

Combichristoffersen · Mar 1, 2011

Ahahaha oh wow :lol Not that I personally was interested in Crysis 2 to begin with, but this is just shitting on their loyal PC audience

Speak for yourself. I have a lot of PC-gaf on my friend's list and that game was avoided like the plague here.

But, please, feel free to post that screenshot where 200 members of the boycott group (with 1,000,000+ sales) were playing the game.

careksims · Mar 1, 2011

The $60 price point was the big no-no for me. Certainly will wait for the New Year's sale.

EviLore · Mar 1, 2011

Done.
