Wow, QFT. I didn't realize how true this would be.Crysis has better graphics than Crysis Warhead...hence the "added" performance in the latter game.
I downloaded the original Crysis Demo while I prepared to get the full version of Warhead to actually play through (since according to the reviews I read, the sequel's gameplay was much improved and the graphics were roughly identical). Playing the original Crysis, my eyes wept even at the intro cinematic. Just trudging through the jungle was a "Wow," experience. Objectives felt slightly more subtle, and the story sort of crept along at an eerie pace. It was beautiful. I ran Fraps a few times just to figure out what settings I liked, and then waited for Warhead to arrive.
And, "Wow." As the first few scenes played out, and I played with the settings (all Enthusiast, 1920x1200, 4XAA) I knew it would be a short relationship. It was so sad . . . I don't know what it was exactly, but it just wasn't the same eye-popping, blood-pumping experience. The details weren't there. Even Gears of War looked better, in my opinion. I know a lot of people prefer Warhead to the original, but I was hugely disappointed. I played for about an hour, but it just wasn't very engaging. I wept as I trashed it.
But I looked online, and I couldn't find anyone else who felt this way. Does nobody else think the original Crysis was significantly better than Warhead? Is there a support group or something?
