Crysis faild.......

hi........

before Crysis was released i was watching the Trailers (just like all of you...) and i was thinking : damn these graphics are insane.

so what happened is that when crysis was released i didn't get the quality of graphic just like in the official videos....so i thought that my system is weak and because i was running the game with medium settings..........the surprise was when i went to my friend house and he was running the game with all very high and AAx2,DX10 i found out that the game really don't have the graphic that Crytek promised to provide ??? so what the hell is going on ??? why don't we -the gamers- can't get what we paid for ???

if i was wrong in something plz tell me........

btw i saw many people complain that they didn't get the graphics that they wanted either...

I might be alone here, but I think the game looks much better than it did previously. It used to look really plastic and extremely "thick", and they fixed it.GodLovesDead

are you kidding ???

the graphics were almost perfect in the trailers....just imagine you are playing with this graphic in Multiplayer.....Crysis was supposed to be the next generion game....but i was really disapointed because they just made the graphcs a little better than the other games

If those were the actual in-game graphics, there would be extreme system requirements up the ass along with it.

Provide me a few links or something.

Those screenshots comparing "ingame" to real life photos made the game look completly stunning. I've only played the demo, wasn't expecting the "ingame" screenshots they released to be what the game actually looked like.Rattlesnake_8

The setting in the level will also affect the graphics

Publishers always touch up the screenshots before they get released. The graphics in game are awesome compared to anything that has come before it but I don't really care for the game myself, it's all eye candy and not a lot of anything else.

A couple of mods, such as the natural mod, can amp up the graphical experience of crysis pretty well.

Although I do agree that the graphics don't look as good as the prerelease screenshots of last year, but nevertheless it is still an extremely good looking game.

i'm not angry about the whole game.......it just that they did do what they promised to do..........i know this game is better than other game and i agree but what i'm talking about that they didn't make the game look like the videos they released before the game........

and btw if you don't understand me........just go to youtube and type CRYSIS HD and you will see what i mean.

the bottem line is that they didn't make the game look like HD which they said they will do......

games will almost never look good as some screenshots, when you take a picture of yourself with an expensive good digital camera, it can make you look better than you do in real life, thats just how things go. Mapleleafs4life

well that wasn't a screenshot its a whole video.......

i have a little expirence in HD and blu-ray things but i heard that they used Blu-ray discs to make the graphics in the videos look great and that the really size of the game was supposedto be 20GB or something like it....anyway i'm not sure if is true

Blu-Ray doesn't have any effect on the quality of the graphics, as it is just a storage medium. All it can really affect graphicwise is the quality (size) of the textures, but you'd hit the limit of texture memory on a video card way before the extra storage capacity of blu-ray would have any effect.

At the moment blu-ray seems to be mainly used for higher quality sound, and HD cutscenes -- which are able to take advantage of the extra storage capacity.

dude what kind of drugs are you on?? crysis is the most impressive and visually pleasing shooter out now. it has everything you could ever want in a shooter and more. with the nano-suit you can be super human. what could be better than that?skyyfox1

i think i'm going to exlpode people do you have a brain made from rock !!!!

i didn't say that the game don't has good graphcs what i said is that the game don't look like the videos they posted !!! so before flaming me learn how to read and understand people thoughts before jumping to conclutions

The graphics from the tech demos had different colour and contrast settings, which the retail version doesn't have. Try googling 'natural mod' for crysis and take a look at the screenshots. It's alot more atmospheric and shadows and lighting stand out alot better. Gives a whole different 'mood' to the game (need all settings on high though I think for it to work properly, don't know for sure, try reading the notes with the mod. Very high not needed, luckily!).Mankyblobs

is this mod you are talking about works in MP ?

What you're talking about is I think only one trailer, the very first, the one from E3 05, cause the trailers after that looked more like or closer to the final version. The only thing that looked better in the first trailer were the lighting and the plants and that's it.

If you watch the trailer again you can see how bad the textures on the gun and nanosuit look compared to those in the final version of the game.

Yeah, those lying bastards made the best looking game ever. Total failure. I hope that someone hits them with a series of prank sex changes and they wake up without their meat and two veg. It's better than they deserve.

Seriously, how can you complain? So, yeah, the preview stuff wasn't as good as the final cut. So what? A company lied? Well I say! Golly gosh!

Who cares about the lies and the marketing BS? No one who saw those videos would have been thinking it'd look that good on their PC anyway. That was just common sense.

That was just common sense.mfsa

Not many people were sure what the 8800GTX was capable of. I wouldn't really call it common sense when few people have over $500 to spend on a video card to prove the previews were fabricated. After spending a few thousand dollars on my computer, I have to say Crysis really isn't that impressive. I'm more impressed by nVidia's technology than Crytek's, to be quite frank.

If those were the actual in-game graphics, there would be extreme system requirements up the ass along with it.

there allready is extreme system requirements. you have to pay 350 bucks on a gpu just to run it. be lucky you guys can even run it. complaning about graphics? come on bro. atleast you can play it

It's rather sad that people can buy the best hardware out there, and they still won't max the game @ DX10 w/ 60FPS. If the game looked any better, we wouldn't be able to run it too well for a year or so.

Well, I'm very, very, very unsavvy when it comes to hardware, and I saw it coming as soon as I saw the videos. If I can see it coming, people who actually knew that the 8800GTX would be a top line card (something I didn't know at the time because I don't know a thing about hardware!), should be able to see it coming. We don't have leaps that large.

As for how Crysis looks, I dunno how anyone can not find Crysis impressive. Two words: draw distance. Nothing comes close, not even Far Cry. It's not just about how good looking it is, it's about how big the environments are. Most FPS games are set in small box-rooms - and most FPS games don't look as good.

It's very well-known that pre-release hype is amplified by heavily edited screenshots. They always sharpen things up and add some contrast and subtle detail using Photoshop and the likes and it ends up disappointing the naive gamers out there. The only game I can recall that looked exactly like its pre-release screenshots was Half-Life 2. NoAssKicker47

I'm only going by memory but I'm pretty sure some pre-release shots did look better than when the game came out. I remember rows of Combine walls crawling around looking extremely sharp and amazingly animated but in the full game there was nothing like that.

First, those screenshots you refer to were from the Alpha build.

Second, the Crysis engine is capable of doing that.

Third, the development team, seeing the game already had insane requirements, scaled it down a bit so it would play on 20% of the gaming community's PCs instead of 5%.

Fourth, I dont see how this qualifies as a failure since its the best looking game in history, and will continue to be the best looking for the next few years.

hmmm maybe i was wrong this time....maybe they used HD cutscenes like you said GO13M....i mean they made another short version of crysis which has way better graphics and used it for advertsing cutscenes....correct me if i'm wrong....anyway if this is true they maybe used some new GPU's which only game makers has the right to use

Dude, HD doesnt really mean anything. Its just a buzzword used in place of "higher resolution than normal TVs". Same with bluray...like someone said, a blueray disk is the medium, not the actual tech of HD video. The data on the disc is the actual teach of HD.

As for Crysis, it is very much HD.

Out of curiosity, what resolution did your buddy have it on? I have to play the game at less-than-native resolution on my monitor and it tends to look grainy, but that is my LCD's fault.

not another one of these threads....

Crysis is amazing simple as that :)
These crysis bashing threads are almost as bad as the ones saying "OMGZ!! TEH PC GAMING IS DEAD!" :P

Im blown away by the graphics and physics in crysis everytime i start the game up

is this mod you are talking about works in MP ?

Only on non-punkbuster servers (it won't let you join punkbuster servers), which means it's 90% hackers.

man, crysis got great graphics and all it's just a boring game deserves a 6-7/10 my opinion..

Consider you gave Bleach a 10/10, it's hard to take your opinion into consideration :P

I know someone who tweaked the game to get it running on his radeon 9500 and it was playable. Saying you need a $350 GPU just to play the game was just outright stupid to say.

The game isn't that demanding giving how amazing the game looks. In fact, it's a well optimized game that a lot of people bash because of their faulty hardware.

All of these were taken from the actual retail game.

the engine of the game is capable of looking better than it is when you put it on very high because it was build to last (said during an interview with one of the developers), and as long as we don't see graphics cards running very high settings with an avarage of minimum 60, I don't think they will choose to activate thos 'very very high settings' ;)

another possibility is that maybe the Crysis HD video was rendered with all possible engine features (even those that didn't make it to the released game because it would make the game a slideshow), without regards to fps or actual gameplay
