Crysis 2

Quote from Sentura

what are the scripting possibilities in c2?

Your imagination

Multiplayer looks nice and fast.

But will there be a mode with more than 12 players?

Your imagination

i mean what languages are available for scripting

Why bother with scripting? For anything level related you should only be concerned about connecting boxes with arrows using the flowgraph editor :derp: For anything else I presume it is still LUA.

Yep, what frie said. Flowgraph is amazing, best scripting tool I've seen, I wish we had something similar for the material editor.

Is Flowgraph about the same as Kismet in UnrealEd?

Yeah, only better!

/jk

What makes it better and why?

it's not better than kismet, i'd say equal ;P

Safe to say you can do almost anything you want, check out the mirrors edge movement in crysis 1 - was done in flow graph.

looks sexy! i love that type of scripting. Makes it easier. I hope eventually it gets better in terms of interface with cool icons :}!

I should say,that's the hackiest feature abuse ever, but it's legendary around these parts

I just loved for the fact in kismet you could prototype something up to see if it worked gameplay wise before you spent hours going through errors in Uscript to pull it off. I spent hours making artillery in UDK and it was probably the most fun i have ever had "scripting" so i cant wait to get my hands on c2's flowgraph. What is the material process tho in c2 (if you guys can answer), i like udk's however i dont like their preview panel.

i guess you could call flowgraph a kind of language too, then, since it has its likeness to UML.

Flowgraph is indeed programming. The code gets generated behind the scenes so a designer doesnt has to worry about typos

Well .. Let's say less typos. Node based programming has been a really good thing for designers.

Even though that multiplayer trailer isn't actually against "invaders", it's still a better use of "Invaders Must Die" than the DNF trailer. At least they don't keep interrupting the song for cut aways to the player character taking a piss or something

Will there be a mp mode with more than 12 players?

sorry for the asking but must know!!

Most fun multiplayer I have played in a good wile, feels like a tiny bit of COD in the mix. Really want to try the PC version interested to see how it plays. Looks really nice, impressed with how it does on console. Anyone know if Cry Engine 3 is shipping with it at launch?

I would assume Sandbox 3 would be included, not sure when Crytek is releasing their version of the UDK though.
