RE: Who hasn' t played Crysis? - May 16, 2008 18:44

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.

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.

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.

RE: Who hasn' t played Crysis? - May 16, 2008 19:52

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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' 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)

I have another 2 (better) videos encoding but i' m trying to get as small a file size as possible while maintaining the quality.

Let me know if you have any trouble with this first video.
