Crysis 2 DirectX 11 Patch Coming Next Week

[Vibhor]

I just had to wiki Crytek to see what new IP this was. Now I remember it's the game that looked awesome till they mentioned Kinect for the 50,000th time that press conference. Apparently they have another new IP in the works, a PC exclusive shooter.

I believe they are working on Timesplitters 4 now.... or atleast they better be.

Wow, so many trolls in here.

If anybody was even remotely following the development of Crysis 2, they would have known that Crysis 2 was going to be shipped without DX11 and later patched in. This was well known a few months before the game was released in the Crysis fan community.

I can't believe so many PC gamers in here are butt hurt over a late DX11 patch. At least Crytek kept to their promise regarding DX11. A lot of developers don't even do that.

You do know that the promise was the game would be released WITH DX11. You can see in that in the news posts in this very site. We are not butthurt because of that but are butthurt due to bad development practices that run in the industry and you seems to be defending them.
Also, whats with the tag PC gamer? I own a Wii, PS3, DS and a 3 year old PC. I can bet you only have an Xbox or PS3 and still call your self a console gamer.

here's more news

"Crysis 1's intention was, if I were to play it three years later, it looks great. And it does, actually, it fulfilled that. But it made it difficult for entry-level players," Crytek CEO Cevat Yerli related to Gamasutra. "So with Crysis 2, we took a different direction, and it backfired a little bit."

To be fair, that is still a rumour. Awesome if it's true. Unless the other rumour about it being on the next Microsoft console is true, because if it is, that sucks.

Ok, So I had to do a little bit of research because I remember learning about the DX11 patch before the game was released.

March 1st -

And the fansite I moderate (shameless plug):

The game came out on March 22. So my statement about the DX11 patch being known a few months before was wrong but knowing about the patch before launch was right and Crytek kept their promise.

Oh, and I don't own a PS3 or Xbox 360. I own an NES and a PS2. I spend the majority of my time gaming on my computer.

Edit: I will say a lot of the fans were upset when we learned this news. Just read the forum link.
