I like the cover system in Crysis 2 and I like how Sprint uses energy since I feel it plays into my decision making for energy management. My only issue with sprint on PC is it’s not a toggle sprint you have to hold it down which is pretty annoying, but yeah I love C2. Killzone 2 is another example of an awesome game with a cover system that I loved that they dumped afterwards. Unrelated but man KZ2 is awesome, wish it had a native PC version.

That's not uncommon. If you had say a PC and could max it out and keep a steady 60 FPS you would then. The thing I have always noticed with games when playing them later again after experiencing something better is you don't notice the rough stuff until later usually. As an example, I never noticed that N64 games barely managed 30 FPS, especially a lot of classics like Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, or even platformers like Banjo Kazooie would have some in the game. Not until I came back later to these games did I notice as I mostly played console games up until the mid 360/PS3 era.

@@alexsilva28 just know that crysis is not like a call of duty or even halo campaign. Well, 2 and 3 are a little bit but 1 is very different and more of a game you gotta get yourself immersed into. Luckily once you do it's by far the most fun just because of all the player freedom it gives you, and fun ways you can interact with the world. The level of interaction is above almost any fps campaign. It's more akin to an immersive sim like prey almost than call of duty. I think some people go in wanting to be directed and that's just not what makes the game fun. It's hands down the best game in the series and one of the best fps ever, but you can easily miss out if you don't go into it ready to fully immerse yourself in the game. I have found it super addictive, even before I learned so many tricks and mechanics the game offers. But I've also seen more casual gamers not understand it, and miss out on a brilliant game. There are levels that are reminiscent of call of duty too. Especially the tank mission and later missions but the first few are just these giant open levels that you can attack anyway you like.

I remember buying a Samsung Laptop to take with me for College in 2011 While looking for this Laptop's User Manual Online, I found out that this laptop was getting so much hype because it could run Crysis 2. At the time I was a console gamer, I had a PS3, I did not know what 60FPS, Screen Resolution or Vsync meant. So out of curiosity I bought Crysis 2 in a CD just like Mr. Linneman. I installed it, I played it, and ever since then I fell in love with the series. I remember playing Crysis 2 "on the go" at the gaming center of the college I graduated from. Everyone was surprised how well Crysis 2 ran. The Laptop in fact delivered: the game ran at 50-60FPS at 720p with low-to-medium settings. This game re-initiated me into PC gaming at the time. Last game I got in a CD was Quake 3 Arena LOL The laptop btw was the Samsung Series 7 Chronos. It had 1gb of Vram with its GTX640M, 8GB of Ram with an i7 3615QM processor, and 900p Screen.

It's still "fine" as in it works. At the time I had money to burn for the PC and PS3 console versions and while I did have a PC that could play this game and did I did the game on PC my old laptop wasn't able to run the game better than PS3. Of course I don't have to worry about poor performance on my new PC which runs much better at 1080p with maxed out settings, but it still doesn't quite lock to 60FPS maxed out... go figure.

The Switch port definitely hews closer to the OG PC release. It features those characteristic road surfaces with slight cracks in them that were replaced in the other versions. I would argue that Crysis 2 is the most well rounded Crysis. It's hard to definitely say which is "best" because the 4 games strive for different things. But C2 is the most complete and well paced entry. It doesn't have the highs that the some of the other entries have, but it is consistently good from start to finish.

I had crysis 2 on ps3. It was horrible to go all out firing - I found the game was amazing when I used extreme stealth. It was wonderful - almost felt like an extension to the world of mgs4

I've beaten Crysis 1, 2, & 3 on the PS3. For the standards of the platform, they played fine. It just payed to be stealthy as much as you could to avoid triggering a bunch of explosions. I think Crysis 3 ran a little better than 2, but it's been a bit.

Crysis 1 was on PC for me, struggling with a Radeon 9800 Pro 128Mb before I bought a laptop with a 8600GT in it. Crysis 2 was played on both 360 and PS3 and while I loved the game at the time, it definitely soured my taste for it. So much so that when Crysis 3 came out, I skipped it ....and the first time I played Crysis 3 was around the time I started my KZread channel and played it on a R9 280X and it blew me away several years after release. Since then, revisiting the whole series on PC (and Crysis on my switch Lite too) has been great and im thoroughly looking forward to the remasters on PC and also the handheld versions on the SwitchLite.

Crysis 2 is actually my favorite, I found the combat and gunplay the most satisfying out of the 3. Was it smaller in scale? Sure, but sill offered more freedom than most other shooters at the time.

I do wonder, why are people saying Crysis Remastered Trilogy is a bad deal? At least relative to Crysis 1 Remastered's 30$ Price, an extra 20$ for Crysis 2 getting a very similar treatment to Crysis 1 and a touched up/still notably improved version of Crysis 3 sounds like a pretty good deal overall. Or are the people saying it's a bad deal are still talking about it as if Crysis 1 Remastered was still in the state it was at launch.

Because they're actually lying... *to a certain extent.* They could've done everything they did here and made the PS3/X360 versions run much better if they focused on performance, but put their efforts into making the game run with way better visuals instead sacrificing a solid lock on 30hz. These remastered versions on Switch actually look worse than they did on PS3/Xbox 360, but it runs at a higher resolution due to DRS and mobile chips better fillrates and the Switch versions have better textures almost universally due to having more system/video RAM. Geometry is worse in the Switch version. So performance is improved and resolution is improved but it is possible that maybe just maybe if the PS3/Xbox 360 versions had the same visual cutbacks they would run as well at a native 720p (pixel fillrate was terrible on those consoles GPUs *compared to mobile GPUs by the time Switch launched,* even so perhaps higher resolutions than 720p _might_ have been feasible if the PS3/Xbox 360 versions looked as rough as the Switch port does now).

The APU at the heart of the Oled Switch/ Switch V2/ Switch Lite relies on battery, it's a down-cloked version because of that. Putting that in simpler terms, there isn't anything such as "focusing on performance" for the Switch, because if you do that, you're literally sacrificing battery life, and that is what diferentiates the Switch to the X360 or ps3, as those consoles' CPU's were always performing at 100% because they were always plugged in to the wall let. Stop pretending battery isn't a thing to be concerned about when developing for the Switch or that performance rules it all, understand it's a HYBRID console, therefore, and as much as I hate to say this, it's not only about performance, but rather about BALANCING Performance and battery life. _These remastered versions on Switch actually look worse than they did on PS3/Xbox 360, but it runs at a higher resolution due to DRS and mobile chips better fillrates and the Switch versions have better textures almost universally due to having more system/video RAM._ No, they don't! Haven't you watched the video? Name it dynamic resolution or whatever you want, but the fact is the Switch actually outputs more stable frames and less noise, while still maintaining 30FPS when there's a lot going on (weather, shadows, bullet particles, physx, colision detection, transform & lighting, to name just a few) - getting all that to work AND MAKE THE X360/PS3 VERSIONS LOOK WORSE in the process is a real achievement! So it's not just about how it looks, but how it looks AND RUNS. _(...) maybe if the PS3/Xbox 360 versions had the same visual cutbacks they would run as well at a native 720p (...)_ But that's the tech that was available to the Crytek team at the time! If you want to blame someone, point your finger at Sony or Microsoft for their faulty SDKs or faulty hardware, for it was unable to run Crysis the proper way. Still, it doesn't change the fact the Switch can run it better than those consoles did back in the day; And here's the icing on the cake, after the ps3's lifecycle Sony knew that bothering PC game developers to port their games over to the ps3 was extra work because it'd require to convert an X86/X64 CISC build of the game to ARM/RISC so they ditched it and ever since the ps4, their "console" has been nothing but a glorified middle-range PC that can run sony's exclusive games, whereas the Switch has remained on the RISC team, outsold the ps3 and can run games better... with a RISC-based mobile console. Anyway, back to my point, if it can run Crysis that well, it should be more than capable of delivering Far Cry 3 at 30, maybe even Watch Dogs 1.

This is genuinely a great port.

Just found this games series in a suitcase I had stored at a friends place the other week and installed Crysis 2 with the texture pack, parallax mapping pack and direct x upgrade and can now finally play it on ultra at 140+ frames on my laptop. But I also live out of a van and off of solar most of the time, so I suppose I'll now be repurchasing this series on my switch seeing it uses an amp an hour to run and my laptop uses 22+amp and hour to run. Glad to see the performance to be promising. Still trying to get through The Outer Worlds on Switch and holy the shit the resolution feels like it is constantly sitting at 400 or lower. And dont get me started on the fps.. The Witcher 3 hasn't been to hard to get through as the performance works surprisingly well for the type of gameplay, but the resolution scaling still ruins it at times.

To answer your question, Alex: I played Crysis 2 on Xbox 360 back then and LOVED the game. It has a special place in my heart graphics wise but almost moreso the atmosphere of the game, certainly helped by Hans Zimmer. I have come to be a great defender of linear level design and I think Crysis 2 is just perfect in that respect, being just open enough to remind one of Halo. All that being said: I can’t believe what I’m seeing here. 15fps in action sequences? I don’t remember that at all, to a point where I considered if my 360 had some form of hardware upgrade (but obviously it didn’t). And I would even describe myself as a very sensible person when it comes to graphics and performance. I remember being incredibly disappointed with how Crysis 3 ran when I got it, having such fond memories of 2. Well anyway, hindsight is 2020 and I will buy a PS5 to play Crysis 2 again like I remember plying it. Great video!

I played it on PS3 and I have very very fond memories of it. I remember the performance occasionally tanking, but I didn't really know about it or care at the time. That's how most PS3/360 games worked for me, I'd adapt to it quickly and then enjoy it without issue. In fact, Crysis 2 is also my favourite. I like the linearity with some wider spaces, it made sense in the urban jungle. The music is fantastic and vastly underappreciated too.

I really enjoyed Crysis 2 Multiplayer; my PC back then running it at roughly 30fps, 1360x768. Was still a lot of fun.

To answer your question, most of us playing Crysis 2 and Far Cry 3 on console had never experienced any different. Going back and playing them now is horrendous, but, at the time, it was all I ever knew.

I had a PC and PS3 and had the game for both platforms putting me in that rare exception category. The PS3 ran the game better than my PC which cost more than $300 more and was 3 years newer. So even though I could and did try to run the game both maxed out just to see what it could look like (of course completely unplayable, but visuals were improved). I also looked at the game running at playable FPS performance (which was basically the same performance or worse than PS3 anyway with lower settings). At the time in 2009 when I purchased the laptop mobile HW was still struggling to run such games but not all mobile HW the laptop I wanted was out of stock so I got a much less powerful version that was about $300 less expensive and while it did what I needed it really couldn't run games for ••••. Later on games like NFS:MW regardless of settings wouldn't run right at all. I don't think NFS:MW (2011) was more taxing than Crysis 2, but that's how my old laptop saw it. Oddly it's the inverse regarding performance now. On my new PC (also a laptop) NFS:MW (2011) runs nearly constantly locked at 60FPS maxed out while Crysis 2 (and 3) run maxed out at 1080p, but never really locking to 60hz. Go figure.

Interesting... see crysis 2 was actually my favorite of the franchise... I thought it was the longest game of the trilogy with the highest production value and effort put forth. and an actual good story to go along with it. the story of the others were forgettable but the ending of this game always stuck in my mind... to each their own I guess though. Still liked 1 and 3 but to me 2 was best...

I also like the way Crysis 2 looks on the Switch better than Crysis 3 because it just seems to be a bit more consistent since the direction isn't as ambitious, without the tons of vegetation and larger open levels.
