Who hasn' t played Crysis? / Did Crytek hit their GDC 2006 trailer target? / All videos added to OP

Tell me who you are and give me your explanation! ;)

Also, just to let the guys who have got the game know - the latest (175.16) WHQL NVIDIA drivers give increased performance with the game. Like 10fps or more.

Anyway...

i didn' t but i would love to, the reason is not owning a computer strong enough to even run it at medium, i' m planning to buy a beast in the not so distant futur, with a 8800 GTS 512 as the absolute minimum, but i have the next nvidia card 9900 GT in sight.

One thing i would like to know and i want an honest answer, does the game look like the pictures that were shown some months before the game launch, i still have in my mind the jungle that looks freakingly amazing and lifelike, were those bullshots ? i was disapointed by many screens after the launch.

Listen to the wise

I played it but have yet to finish it. Hope i do that after exams.

Aba, i think the 8800GT is the best performance/money deal out there so you may want to check it out. Yes the game looks absolutely amazing on highest settings and still looks great on medium. Nitro uploaded some screens in earlier threads and he will upload some vids so you can see for yourself.

Played the Demo and liked that, basically just been too lazy to pick it up, plus had some PC issues as well, trying to get dual boot working on my PC and it keeps crapping up every couple of weeks.

I will get round to getting it though, once dual boot and PC issues are resolved.

Grayfox, i think the 8800 gts 512 is a better deal, don' t confuse it with the old 8800 gts which is less powerful than the 8800 GT.

the new version offers a close performance to the 8800 GTX, with 20 dollars or so more than the GT' s price, it runs cooler, consumes less, you still can' t go wrong with both choices infact, but from what i read in the forums and a couple of article with benchmarks along, the best card for the money is the new 8800 GTS.

However this generation of graphic card is still not so appealing if you own a ps3 and a 360, those card can run smoothly any game released on any console platform at even 60 fps , yet they fail to offer the highest quality with Crysis at high resolutions, if we consider Crysis as the first game to offer a generation leap in PC gaming, what can we say about the future ?

That' s why i' m more interestd in the new 9900 GT (GTX would be expensive for no use), this card will run anything similar to crysis and beyond smoothly at highest setting with a high resolution. it will also features DX 10.1 ( it' s always good to have it).

so that' s how i see things and it all depends on my budget, if it' s tight by the time i decide to buy a pc , then the 8800 GTS will be.

Listen to the wise

To be honest, the pre-release stuff pretty much pales in comparison to what we ended up with. I think maybe you' re talking about THIS shady-looking " Teh powar of DX10!!1!" trailer.

Well for the most part the jungle in the retail version isn' t actually as dense as in that trailer. It must have been done relatively early in the development cycle because quite a lot of stuff from the early videos ended up being different. The Nano-suit and weapons etc...

That said, the game is breathtaking. Birds, butterflies, bees, frogs, fish, chickens, turtles etc... it' s not perfect but the details are damn impressive.

This is the game running on my laptop and shows what to expect from the retail version...



This is denser custom map...



I' ll do a video for you showing the various jungle areas in the game to give you a better idea :)

Then it wasn' t a wrong impression, i thought that my memory played a bad trick but the game does not look as amazing as the early stuff indeed. the pics you showed me are damn impressive , specialy the last one, but it' s not what i saw before, pretty close though. I remmember the jungle that almost looked real, that was crazy back then and still now.

i guess back in 2006, devs themselves didn' t have the required hardware to run the game at a solid 30 fps with those details.

Listen to the wise

I played about half an hour' s worth a little while after it came out. It totally changed my opinion on the game. I can' t play it, because I don' t have a capable PC.

I' ll be uploading some cool gameplay video' s over the weekend. If you haven' t played it and would like to see anything in particular, just say.

Do something badass. I' ll leave what exactly to your judgment.

I played 30 min on it... and never came back, it' s just... too boring. [:' (]

Should have carried on playing...

Name: Terry Bogard
Reason: Don' t play PC games. Don' t play first-person shooters (if that' s what Crysis is).

Put Crysis on a console and make it a 3rd person shooter and I' ll be all over it!

Terry Bogard - currently the most Unhelpful member of the Kikizo forums.

Crysis, done Contra style would be bad ass!

As soon as I upgrade my PC I' m buying it. From the sounds of it theres no point playing it on a mid-range PC. Although I' m still kinda disappointed dx10 doesn' t work better. They were promising it to be a performance booster more than anything over dx9, and it hasn' t really fulfilled.

I haven' t played because the only computer I own is a laptop for school use and of course being on Kikizo.com

That' s such an awesome moment.

but i have the next nvidia card 9900 GT in sight.

GTX 260 (9900GTS) and GTX 280 (9900GTX) are the names of the next Nvidia GPUs. They' re changing their naming scheme.

UnluckyOne I like your new avatar. Is that a sketch of yourself?

Well, working for gamestop (yes, I got a job with them a week ago) doesn' t exactly give me enough money for a decent PC. Otherwise, I would love to play it.

I look forward to playing this on my laptop in 5 years time.

Change is inevitable. Except from a vending machine.

Viva La Revolution! erm, I mean Viva La Wii!

thanks for the news agent, seems like that just made it yesterday to the net. i like those names much better, i was wondering if they were going with the 5 digits, glad they didn' t.

Your laptop = Fail?

My laptop lags badly while playing GTA:San Andreas..

It also struggles while running N 1.4 and if I render in my animation program for more than an hour, I get the blue screen of overheating

My laptop fuc.king owns, ...but it' s big and it' s heavy.

I' m probably going to pick up another Vaio... a TZ or something, ...one of the smaller models.

You don' t move it around much do you?

The TZ series is beutiful, and would be high up on my list if I were looking at a mini-notebook, but I don' t know why they' re bothering with SSDs right now in the more expensive models. I suppose as a secondary, 40-60 gigs is fine for you, but still, I just don' t feel that they' re there yet.

it will also features DX 10.1

I thought only ATI cards have DX10.1 atm.

I' m probably going to pick up another Vaio... a TZ or something, ...one of the smaller models.

Check out the XPS m1330 Nitro. Im thinking of getting one of those and thinking if i should wait for the new CPU models to hit the market.

Vaio has far more style than XPS, especially in notebooks, but that' s my personal preference.

Hi my name is canadagamer, and I have yet to play Crysis.

Reason, no money to buy a PC that can play this game. Wife, 2 kids, 2 car payments, mortgage all adds up to one po bastard.

It really doesn' t bother me at all that I haven' t playied Crysis, and that I probably never will. I believe that it is awesome game, but it is just not a game that I must play.

Most wanted games:

Mass Effect
Assasins Creed
Crysis
Little Big Planet
Drakes Fortune
UTIII
Kane and Lynch
Heavy Rain
Alan Wake

I thought only ATI cards have DX10.1 atm.

I thought i used " it will" as the card is not released yet, it' ll be out sometimes around mi-june.

Listen to the wise

Boo hoo, I have two cars, two kids...kill yourself.

The Succubus sucked you so dry you' re beyond poor, you' re po. LOL!

Give your kids your car keys. Let your problems solve themselves. Or maybe get a second job, just find a way to play Crysis. The game is glory in game form.

Nah. It' s actually a character from the DS game Hotel Dusk: Room 215. I thought it looked interesting. Bout time I finally got around to getting myself an avatar.

I' m uploading a 7 min video for you aba. It' s 848 x 480. If i go any higher the framerate would be awful and Fraps has a detrimental effect to the framerate anyway while capturing video.

Anyway, it' s all of the same level - the same level the following screens were captured from. The video i captured on my laptop earlier this evening and i' ve just gone back in to that level on my desktop to get these screens.

The video has lost some colour depth and looks more natural than the screens, but the screens reflect what the game looks like.















I' ll post the link to the video once it' s done uploading (as long as Google Video doesn' t make it look like shit - in which case i' ll split it and give you my Rapidshare login details)

No pictures will ever do the game justice, the game is hella fun.

I have a crappy pc and i still played through crysis .. Thats the best part about crysis , yes it wont look like the screens nitro put up but you can play it with a reasonable framerate on a not so powerful pc and still have loads of fun ..

I thought i used " it will" as the card is not released yet, it' ll be out sometimes around mi-june.

My bad. Good luck with your PC making!

thanks nitro for the vid, i' ll watch them asap and let you know.

Listen to the wise

ok i didn' t notice the links damn it, forget about that message in your box nitro.

Listen to the wise

I' ve just managed to encode the 2nd video (which is also 6+ minutes long) with a different codec and ended up with a much smaller file size.

Do you want me to re-encode the original video too and save you downloading like 600MB???

give me the link of the one you just encoded , the small file. that would be enough as my bandwidth sucks ass in Tanger.
