Crysis 2 Leaked

[kuroikenshi]

this is a good indication that crytek has finally optimized their engine and is no longer a bloat of all demons, it can be run on normal systems without looking too bad. This indication is also good enough for me to want to invest and buy the game... as I am sure the full retail version will come with dx10 -11 native, as well as extra eye_candy.

I will take my hat off to engine optimization any given time, and we also know what this engine can do from the demos released last year. this should be a good game

[Hornet331]

The lengh is somewhat ok, its ~7h-8h. Its a bit shorter then the original crysis which gave 8-10h.

[Kaboka]

Let's hope some developers will licens this engine so we can get something else instead of all those Unreal engine games.

[InCredible]

i enjoy playing this "beta" ..the finished product ought to be real nice.

as far as the pirating..i do it and idc what anyone here thinks..get over it..
these guys make PLENTY to put food on their families tables...charging 50-60 for something that usually isn't even worth the price.
on top of that ill purchase any game i think is actually worth playing and using for multi player which i feel you get your money out of it. Not a single play through on single player. no way wont do it. In reality though i wouldn't buy 90%(the other 10% i do/have purchased) of the games that i download..no one is losing money from me..cause they wouldn't be getting it regardless.

i love the moral thoughts though...knowing that most of you "blaming" others looked in the mirror at the things you've done in your life..im sure we could look down on you for something worse

[iddqd]

Actually crysis 2 has lean...

Yeah, it's still useless, though. It's also context-based, I don't think you can just lean whenever you want to anymore like you could in FarCry and whatnot.

[bamtan2]

thanks but no thanks. crysis 2 will be bad enough when it's done. I don't need to beta test it for them. smash my head on the desk why don't I.

[Hornet331]

Na its quite usefull.. but it servers limited purpose and its quite uninuative for pc gamers... i can see it work for console players but pc gamers will find it "strange".

My biggest issue is the controlles themself... they feel kinda "sticky" (no its not mouse lag... ) if you played crysis 1 you know what I mean, I hope they finetune it a bit more in the release version.

@ the leak/pirating
I bet EA/crytek will poop there pants again and moan that they don't sell enough... in the mean time crysis1+addon is counted as one of the most sold pc game (3million+)... but yeah i guess some people don't get there gap full enough...

lol gota love ea...

Crytek has been alerted that an early incomplete, unfinished build of Crysis 2 has appeared on Torrent sites. Crytek and EA are deeply disappointed by the news. We encourage fans to support the game and the development team by waiting and purchasing the final, polished game on March 22. Crysis 2 is still in development and promises to be the ultimate action blockbuster as the series’ signature Nanosuit lets you be the weapon as you defend NYC from an alien invasion. Piracy continues to damage the PC packaged goods market and the PC development community.

A internal leak occured at crytek or ea and they blame there customers...

[STEvil]

Any way to tell what the build date of it is?

[omega1alpha]

Yeah, I remember reading or watching some interview from years ago when Crytek CEO was having a -fit over the "millions" in lost revenue due to the pirating of Crysis. I can't comment with certainty on how much revenue is actually lost because of pirating, but I think that the majority who pirate probably wouldn't spend $40+ on most of these games anyways. So, I guess the major issue is the actual cost of entry. In other words, you have a ton of gamers who get to play for free. That alone, must piss off a ton of "hyper capitalists." It's not just a PC issue. I couldn't believe how many Xbox 360 games are pirated weeks before release and there are industries that provide gadgets to help people hack and pirate consoles. It's all funny crap. Don't like it. Find another profession.

Regardless of the moral issues, life sucks for a ton of people, so if some individual gets to enjoy a game that he couldn't afford, good for him. Most of these developers working for these large or successful studios have no issues when it comes to supporting their families. They should be happy that they are practicing their trade and still have jobs. There are millions who cant' find a job these days across the globe and that counts more than the exaggerated millions that are lost in revenue due to piracy.

As for me, I don't even consider pirating because the majority of games aren't worth my time these days. I have infinite patience, so I don't need to play something right now. I'll gladly wait and buy a used game. I'm sure that pisses off a ton of people as well. Let's see, you want to prevent people from buying used titles as well............

lol same kids who pirate are the same kids who fork over $60 for Modern Warfare 2 or Halo : Reach. Basically the average pirate is not too bright with his money and would have blown it on something stupid anyways.

they have tried that as well...

[cdawall]

considering its "console port"



playing it at 1400x1050 max settings not really to terribly glitchy...


average 25FPS "HARDCORE" settings
average 34FPS "AVERAGE" settings
have not tried "GAMER" settings

[Calmatory]

That little inkling of respect that I might have had for you is now gone.

I hope someone comes and steals your computer just to show you how it feels to have something taken from you. Devs feed their families based on revenue produced by these games. They also use the revenue to make more games. They aren't doing this so that you can mindlessly take their hard work and use it for your own personal pleasure without paying the price that is put on the product.

Anyway, thanks for admitting your problem. When Crysis 3 doesn't ship for PC, I'll know who to thank, you piece of .

Things change. Isn't profitable to make games for PC? Switch to mobile game development. Big deal. The only one who is losing is you. Couldn't care less.

Oh, and the last game I pirated was Cossacks: European Wars back in 2009, over 10 years old game. I'm more into lesser known music, thanks for the hatred anyway, goes both ways.

Thanks for the laugh bud. I love it when someone justifies pirating by saying it's a dying platform and that the last game they pirated was a old, worthless game from 10 years. I'm sorry, but that makes you no different than those guys that pirate a game 2 weeks before its release to retail channels. If you acquire it without paying for it, you're a pirate. It's simple, really. And I'm not losing anything. I buy a game when it reaches a price where I think it's worth it. However, I don't pirate it to bypass a crappy price. I just don't buy it. That's what you should do, too.

And don't talk to me about "lesser known music." You think I'm some fool that loves pop crap? Heh. I have a degree in music education. I've gotten bored with the crap that is in our music channels today. Knowing how to analyze chord progressions will do that to you.

Anyway, keep at it dude. Maybe you'll find someone that will sympathize with you eventually.




As for games, if you don't think it's worth the money, you don't have to buy it. However, piracy is a plague on the free market. You have no right to take something that you haven't paid for.

so roughly 60 days from then to the 22nd. Seems a bit of a short time to add whats still missing?

You seem to care.

@Calmatory: the problem here is that Mad Pistol is 200% right. First of all, in Spain I can download as much crap as I want to and it will be 1000000% legal.
Second, I never download games. Seriously, I still think that MW2 is too expensive for what it is...and haven't dowloaded it and dont think to do it, not even for single player purpouses (I own MW, btw).

So, your facts are totally nonsense. If you think something is crap say it outloud: but don't use it. Be coherent: don't use something you were not going to buy anyway. Yeah, if you think you are interested (and no bull here, you know when you are 50/50 on something) in a product, I believe you are entitled to try it, becase here we have the right to try something and, in the case you don't like it, you can return it and, as such, you should be entitled the same rights.
That said, though, doesn't entitle you to try stuff you were never interested to buy in the first place for free.

Another: I nearly have a degree in classical music yet I aprove piracy into music. Why? Music piracy makes people famous and allows them to create revenue from concerts. Hey, as a classical musician myself that is the only way of create revenue, and I'm sick of seeing how good random musician is at studio an then how crappy they are @ real world...so I'm all in for changing the system into music, but for theater and games I'm sorry, but If you don't pay something, don't play it.

[Cactus Whine]

just my 2 cents on the Pirate issue:

a single player beta 'leak', in my opinion is a demo for the multiplayer, and i so wish they would just release the single player for free, they would still make cash on the multiplayer buyers,

also i dont believe this is a 'leak' at all, and is more on likely Cryteks underhand response to a PC Demo, and basically a marketing strategy.

from this thread alone, i dont see anyone who has played the leaked version saying they would not buy it.

[cdawall]

works ok in 64bit mode to bad its only DX9

so what are u supposed to do if u want a game that u cannot buy anymore or even that u cannot buy new anymore. if a game is over a year or so old and is not on steam then u cannot buy it new anyways (unless u happen to find it in a bargain bin or its got a cult following and has an active player base, like a blizz gmae) so the devs get no money regardless of piracy or second hand perches. same with music or movies or anything else media related. should i also not beable to download roms of my rather large SNES, sega and gameboy collection that are no longer viable for the original devices, and should we let classic console games that are not brought into new platforms die. or what about games like starfox 2 that were never launched but there is a working rom of the dev media floating about.

i'm not saying that its good to infringe but its not theft and i dont see how u could call it wrong if its not being sold and the media can nolonger be purchased. until recently there were strong protections so u could make copies of old media that is no longer commercially available . furthermore would have classics like system shock or fallout or jazz jack rabbit die since u cannot buy them. if games were really art then it would not matter how a game is acquired affter its no longer commercially available. furthermore should things like starwars galaxies reborn or vanilla wow emulated servers die since they are technically piracy, but they are providing a gaming experience that was killed by the devs for watered down crap that goes for an MMO now.


with the leak people should stop acting noble and better than playing a leaked a game, just look at the past leaks and all i can remember that were leaked more than a month recently was batman:AA and that game flourished based on the leak and so did fallout3. i personalty hate crytec games post farcry1 so i dont care to download it but if it was something that i wanted i would get the leak. i got the batmanAA leak and i loved it so i bought it and recomended it to alot of people who otherwise would not have gotten it. and if it was not for that leak then i would not have tried it as every other batman game and i would say even that every other dc/marvel game ive played in a long time were bad. maybe this will be the same since i know alot of people were miffed about crysis, warhead and farcry 2 so they would not have bothered with a another crytec game

[Cactus Whine]

nice screens cdawall, in DX9 it looks pretty good, cant wait to see it ramped up ito DX11, by the way has anyone got it working with SLI or Crossfire?

[Etihtsarom]

Thanks to all the anti-piracy comments, I've learned so much, and I am never going to download this leaked game to test out whether it is worth my $60. I will instead just pay $60, and when it sucks, I'll just bend over, take out my wallet, pay more $, pull down my pants, and say: "hey, at least I feel good about my self-righteousness".

37.9 US in g2play. ´

its just the key but you can dw from EA.

[SabreWulf69]

I don't even see why people bother arguing about piracy. People aren't gonna change their views, it will usually only re-inforce their own views if anything. People have, are and will always pirate, end of discussion. Piracy makes a copy, stealing removes the original product. As to someone saying how would he like it if someone stole their PC, I'm sure they wouldn't care if they cloned his PC, I know I wouldn't. People should indeed stop acting noble, by watching those videos you are encouraging people who pirate (?) maybe, hypocrites. There are many pirates, so don't think that being moral, you will have the support of everyone in the entire world and that your arguments are the only ones that are ever seen. There are indeed classic games that no one can get a hold of besides pirating, should people be patient and possibly wait for a special 'classic' re-release that may never come to fruition? Hell no. If people don't care about pirates, then why even bring it up, useless argument right there.

I can't wait till I play this. Gonna finish it, then be like hmm, that was cool, I'm gonna go out and buy it now with all the enhanced graphics and a load less bugs. Or I don't think I'll buy this crap no matter how good the graphics look. Either way, this leak helped me reach a decision that everyone should be entitled to. People flying off the walls about this doesn't even make sense, people say pirates get lesser products than legit and this is 100% the case this time. People know the reputation of the graphics of the original, and whilst the may not like this leak, some may even go out and buy the full copy, just to see how much improvement they have made in the final copy over the original game.

Can't wait to play it anyways, seems at least like it is full of action, though I'm not quite so sure about the storyline. Here's to hoping it lives up to all expectations, and that if anything, this leak will give EA/Crytek an opportunity to make it better for the community that do buy it when the full copy does come out.

Instead of thread crapping here about piracy, please feel free to do that on my site, which has a section dedicated to rambling --> http://www.nrnl.org/do-you-know-what...ears-t338.html
