Why can people play crysis really well on youtube?

It just looks smooth because you're not actually there.X360PS3AMD05

yeah that about some it up altough they could also be running at low rez 800x600 as u cant tell the diffrence on a utube video. and they they migh lie about what settings there running at.

90% of them are totally lieing; the other 10% of them are only 50% lieingteldath

They can run it at 640x480 and you could never tell the difference.bungie93

When they press esc for showing the settings and you see a really big mouse pointer, you can also notice when changing the weapon addons.

if infact they arnt lieing, they are probably playing on a 10 inch monitorteldath

Or changing the r_Width and r_Height in the "game.cfg" file.

Umm...640x480 will only be out of proportion on a 17+ inch monitor. On a tiny youtube video, it will look perfectly normal.

You see the difference when playing at 640x480 on a 22" monitor, but when recording the video over fraps or other program the video is seen directly from the resolution, monitor size has nothing to do with it.

You will get my point if you open crysis, press "C" or "mousewheel -> weapon" at 1680x1050, and then change to 800x600.

ebven if they wer eplayign it on high settings they have to dumb it down for youtube, fraps files are huge and since youtube is limited to 1gb files theres not much room for super high quality videoscornholio157

other site uploaders can help, but you will have to download an big file to watch a few gameplay videos at good resoltion :P

I'd say most of them wouldn't be that smart.

When i see people playing crysis on youtube they play at all very high with quite a low end card like a 8800 GT and it looks smooth (and they say 30 + fps) Yet when i look at reviews on the internet people get like 30 fps with a GTX 280. Why does it always seem better and easier to run on youtube?jeeinecho

Good CPU goes a long way.
