ALL SCREEN SHOTS ARE MINE, NONE CAME FROM THE NET, I WANT THAT TO BE CLEAR AND YES I AM USING A TEXTURE MOD AND A TOD MOD
Mods: Plompi's TOD/ Rygel's texture pack
Maps: crysis 2 forest, gdc06 (remake version), island, rescue
I was reading a thread on here and as everyone has noticed there has been alot of complaining about whether Crysis 2 visually has been up to par. One person said that if you put crysis and crysis 2 side by side that you would see that crysis 2 was obviously much better looking then the first crysis so this is what I did. There are going to be MANY screenshots so you don't have to look at every single one of them. But I am trying my best to compare the two(vertically), and yes I am using a modded version of the first Crysis. Crysis 2 is put on hardcore settings.
Water Comparison






Foliage Comparison










Texture/Shader Comparison




Random Shots


















Conclusion
I am sure that I will be flamed and criticized but I was also very excited about Crysis 2. I wanted crysis 2 to blow away the first one, I wanted it to be epic in both gameplay and visually. But I am sorry to say that it just wasn't impressive, the graphics are terrible and dx11 is not going to change that. People that say this is just a demo look when the release is... very soon you think they have time to change how the game looks in just a few weeks? I work with programs like maya and have experience in java, you can't just change things like that in a few weeks. This is the way the game looks end of story. The textures are low res, the lighting sucks, and it is dull and boring with poor detail. Anyone who says crysis 2 looks better is just in denial. Just because crytek says it is going to look better doesn't mean it is, they want you to believe that so you will buy the game so they make money.
