And how will it be different from what I said? You aren't gonna be in all places at once so streaming the parts of the level as you come to them and back isn't gonna matter.wok7
Just like Oblivion huh? :roll: 10-15 second load times would kill the mood of Crysis.

and streaming a level isnt enough to get it to run on a console, you have to take into account mem pools regarding navmeshes that are loaded, textures, shaders and how many instructions each shader has, mipmaps on all your textures, streamable static meshes, streamable textures, lightmaps, number of dynamic lights, dynamic actors, procedural AI with 8 to 10 AI on screen, adaptive portals and zone culling, object culling and visibility (the ps3 and xbox handle this very differently and badly), object priority, physics objects (that have to be dynamically lit since they can be moved), in Crysis' case, real world physics and weather with wind and advanced envrionment physics, per-mesh portals and culling, DOF and MB...

All this costs a whole lot in the end and just because you learnt a new game development word today "streaming", doesnt make Crysis possible on consoles.

WARxSnake

And all that Jazz will be on the console version, just at a lower resolution. As if res even matters, look at how awesome Halo 3 and SMG are.

Asside from the fact that they made Final Fantasy 7 for consoles, Metal Gear has never really been a super amazing GOTY franchise to begin with. Heck, some of the games int he franchise are AA. MGS4 won't be GOTY, and the PC has its own unique games as well.

Like how the Sims and WoW won GOTYs right?

And how the Sims went to sell well over 20 million, and WoW over 10 million - rising.

Hmm.....

LMAO. People fall for stupid things. WOW ruined so many peoples lives. It was even on my local news on ABC a year or two ago. WOW ruined my friends life. I know smart gamers don't play WOW. If you want to live with your parents go ahead and give up your life to WOW.

Your saying that even befor ethe game is released. I know people who've played it and were completely blown away. It will be GOTY. Runner up will probably be GTAIV due to its popularity.

I'm saying that as an educated consumer. Metal Gear Solide has never really been a GOTY winning franchise, and I highly doubt it will be this time around. Odds are against it.

WoW didn't ruin their lives, they ruined their lives. WoW is a video game, a simple video game. They were the weak minded ones that couldn't realize that.

If the best games were all on consoles, then you wouldn't be convincing yourself that right now, or reassuring yourself that in multiple threads.

[QUOTE="Vandalvideo"][QUOTE="wok7"]Consoles have PC's pwned. But of course the only true PC Gamers are those hardcore types who don't mind upgrading everytime the newer hardware comes out.wok7

Too bad I'm still rocking a single 7900GS and running games perfectly fine.

Thats cause you;re a casual gamer : /

so when i start having to play games at medium instead of high i'm going to become a casual gamer?...but from your sig it appears you have two wiis...making you H4RD C0R3 right?

there are many arguments for either side, but i will add in that you can trade in console games which is nice.

[QUOTE="Bebi_vegeta"][QUOTE="wok7"][QUOTE="WARxSnake"]

and streaming a level isnt enough to get it to run on a console, you have to take into account mem pools regarding navmeshes that are loaded, textures, shaders and how many instructions each shader has, mipmaps on all your textures, streamable static meshes, streamable textures, lightmaps, number of dynamic lights, dynamic actors, procedural AI with 8 to 10 AI on screen, adaptive portals and zone culling, object culling and visibility (the ps3 and xbox handle this very differently and badly), object priority, physics objects (that have to be dynamically lit since they can be moved), in Crysis' case, real world physics and weather with wind and advanced envrionment physics, per-mesh portals and culling, DOF and MB...

All this costs a whole lot in the end and just because you learnt a new game development word today "streaming", doesnt make Crysis possible on consoles.

And all that Jazz will be on the console version, just at a lower resolution. As if res even matters, look at how awesome Halo 3 and SMG are.

Have you seen Crysis?!?!?!? LOL

Edit : have you played Crysis?

Yes and yes, standard Crytek game, they've even said that Far Cry 2 will be avialable on the consoles.

........................ :| You're such a hardcore console fanboy it's disgusting. You'll ignore high quality PC games just because you have some sort of dumb prejudice against the platform. You're not a real gamer wok7.

[QUOTE="Vandalvideo"][QUOTE="wok7"]Consoles have PC's pwned. But of course the only true PC Gamers are those hardcore types who don't mind upgrading everytime the newer hardware comes out.wok7

Too bad I'm still rocking a single 7900GS and running games perfectly fine.

Thats cause you;re a casual gamer : /

Its not manditory to buy new parts every 6 mounths. I can play crysis on high with the 8800GTS 640mb and that came out in the end of 2006.

You don't have to unless you want to play every game maxed out (aka graphics wh**e. All you need is a geforce 7900 class card to play PC games on Par with console games. Even in two years from now, playing games on a 7900 would still yield decent results and no the graphics won't automatically look worse then console graphics.

Remember, PC graphics are always improving, a 7900 class card won't start outputting garbage graphics one day because of a high demanding game.

And? Its going to look even better than Crysis, but still be on consoles because they won't be payed to keep it exclusive to one platform.wok7

What company would pay for a PC exclusive?

Crysis can be played on last generation hardware as old as three years. Try again.

what you forget is that pc gamers have the CHOICE to upgrade or not. nothing prevents them on running Crysis with 2 year old hardware on high (instead of very high) and have the game still look and play better than any console game. Also, if you lower Crysis' resolution to 720p, old hardware can easily cope with that resolution.

And any other multiplat AAA PC game can easily run on basic hardware such as cod4 and tf2

Playing Crysis on Medium still looks good. Crytek even said themselves in an interview that they wished they could re-label the graphics settings. They would have labeld medium as high, high as very high, and very high as ultra high. Again, you don't need to upgrade often unless you want to max every game out all the time.

How is that often? over 50 games are made a year, and then one that is graphically better than the others comes along every 3 years or so. That is often? You have a new console every 3 - 5 years, I suppose that's often to you too.

My computer was 2 years old yet it could barely chug Crysis at 15fps on low. Maybe If upgraded back then I might been on medium, but LOL upgrading is a fundamental problem and you can't worm your way out of it.

A few hundred bucks on a videocard every few years isn't a big deal :| Besides a a kid, who can't afford to spend that much every few years if you're a gamer?
