Crysis 1 8 minute footage from consoles

[QUOTE="Sushiglutton"][QUOTE="ChubbyGuy40"]

...if they kept it on CryEngine 2. That was the argument.

I think it's pretty incredible what Crytek has achieved here for consoles. I promised myself I wouldn't buy another FPS this year, but now I think I'm gonna have to cave and get this. Unlike most of the people here, I actually loved Crysis 2. It's still my favorite game so far this year. I hope that everybody is right in saying that Crysis is better than C2, because if true I should be completely blown away.

Looks really nice. Over the years there were certainly some people claiming Crysis wouldn't come to consoles because they would be incapable of doing the game any kind of justice, and it would have to be a vastly different game. I was actually under that impression myself due to Crytek's comment about RAM being such a huge issue a long time ago. Well they found ways to make a good version. It's good for anyone who doesn't have a gaming PC because it's a great game.

It's still the Crysis 2 suit. Hopefully they realized how stupid taking out speed mode was though. I see they kept the horrid Armor mode in there though.

[QUOTE="nintendog66"] Dude learn to read. It's been said like 10 times already that this version of Crysis loads levels in cells, in other words, there's gonna be a lot more loading screens and possibly little to none free roam because you can't go back. So yeah the levels are the same, but cut into smaller pieces. In essence, they are smaller.Zensword

Good. Crytek got rid of the Ascension Level. That level really sucked. Is it just me or there seemed to be massive framerate dives every time the nanosuit menu was brought up?

I'd buy this on PC, it should look and run better than the original.

Crysis was and still is a terrible game.

Actually, Ascension was mercifully short. It was over and I was through it before I even knew what was going on. Never fired a shot.

[QUOTE="ferret-gamer"]

[QUOTE="Zensword"] Wrong. Lead Level Designer Sten Bueble confirmed: [color=yellow]I was afraid that a console version would have required us to rework the Crysis 1 levels to a large extent, possibly splitting them into several parts. Luckily this was not needed, as our engineers worked their magic.[/color]ocstew

[QUOTE="ocstew"][QUOTE="ferret-gamer"] The levels are still being streamed, watch the video itself if you doubt it, they say it outright. And destructiod's impressions mentions that they game had a habit of stuttering when parts were being streamed

[QUOTE="jun_aka_pekto"]

[QUOTE="mitu123"] LOL, they actually did, wouldn't that make these versions shorter then?

Don't know why people hate it so much, it's one of my favorites in the game.

The level inside the alien ship, now that was a pain in the ass.

[QUOTE="ferret-gamer"][QUOTE="ocstew"] Why does it matter if it's being streamed, if you have exactly the same game? Crysis 1 on PC was streamed too, did you think that somehow all the foliage was being rendered at once?ocstew

Looks wonderful. It lacks a few details but the lighning is really improved over the original, and despite using the same hexagonal pattern in armor mode as in C2 the controls are based on the original Crysis, which is better.

This game is a blast in PC, and I'm happy about the port to the consoles: is WAAAY better than Crysis 2 and I think that is more fun than the Halo 3 and Halo Reach campaigns: the maps are larger and you can be a lot more creative with the use of the weapons, explosives and vehicles. It also have a long campaign, with some of the initial levels being really HUGE for a fps game. I don't known what more could I say: the game is maybe the best campaign fps experience in the last five years, it looks awesome and is cheap as hell as DLC. I'll encourage any Xbox 360 and PS3 user to buy it (I'll rebuy it again despite having it in PC due I want to see the changes myself):

Hoping about a Warhead port, also. I liked it perhaps even more.

Which level was ascension?

ascension and maximum speed is gone, lol

guess consoles couldnt pull off ascension, maximum speed wouldnt work on consoles either, i remember something about how consoles couldnt handle it, something to do with the framerate

also dem jaggies, does it have any AA? even 2xAA on Crysis is pretty good, this doesnt have any as far as i can tell, not to mention the framerate is like 20fps and the AI looks braindead, the textures seem worse then medium, plus i dont think the trees have physics, i didnt see them fall down

Which level was ascension?

kraken2109

you fly around on a jet, consoles most likely cant handle it since its streaming the map now

They took out Ascension? That just makes the console version even better. Seriously, that level was awful.drinkerofjuice

most fun level in the game, they took it out because consoles couldnt handle it

Most propably. I always had huge FPS hits in that level. The level was awful though, mostly because of how those damn VTOLs controlled. Possibly the only instance in the original Crysis that could have worked better with a controller. And they took it out.

Crysis supports a 360 controler

LOL. The textures look crappier, the humbee looks crappier, everything looks crappier when compare to PC running maxed out. And LOL at all the texture pop in while the guy was driving the humvee. PC version looks like a NIGHT and DAY difference when compared to the console version.

Actually, the lighting is better in the console version, so not everythig looks better in the PC vrsion.

PC version has lighting mods aswell

the new lighting isnt actually better, its different, so its less demanding hardware wise, there is alot of TOD's for Crysis

If you are talking about the standard version than perhaps. But lighting in Modded version will blow Console Crysis away.

Which level was ascension?

kraken2109

It's where Nomad piloted one of the transports back to the fleet. It's so out of place in the game, at least to me.

I do want Warhead to come to consoles as well. Crysis+Warhead bundles priced at $40 would be sweet.Zensword

That would be a good possibility considering Warhead is supposed to be more resource-friendly than the original Crysis. It's also a shorter game with the playgrounds less spacious than the first game. Those didn't stop me from having fun, though.

Didn't read through the thread, but will this be a disc release or Games on Demand/PSN?

DerpyMcDerp

Although I wouldn't say it was terrible, I find it to be highly overrated.

As for the console port, it looks good. There's something not quite right about it though. You can kind of tell how they struggled to make it look that way.

So is this port gonna have the same gameplay as PC version? Don't care bout the graphics, it looks great to me in any form I;ve seen it.locopatho

Abominably short draw distance + nano-suit 2.0 + streaming levels = different gameplay.

It should be very successful on console though, since these changes make it much more like the generic console FPS. And though it will look like crap compared with the PC version, it should be beautiful for a console game.
