Crysis - graphics king for 3 years and counting

For me Crysis and Warhead just dont get boring. There are so many combinations of gameplay choices. Its held down by all the mechanics of it beng allmost perfect. The gunplay is spot on, Stealth works great, the AI are clever enough to put up a fight without being cheap, The environments react realistically making it feel good to play. The list is vast and thats without metioning graphics (damn I lied). People take Crysis at face value a little, a very pretty game, without looking deeper into it.

Okami looks better to me, sorry.

I beg to differ. Then again I don't have a DX11 card to play Metro 2033 in DX11 but I still think that modded Crysis > everything else.

So guys. could you inform which Crysis mods you're using?

I've been using CCC 2.21, Relic2, Rygel's Texture Pack, Silent's HD Foliage and Slicer91's Hd texture pack for Crysis. No combo of those mods can cover up all the bad textures. That's from a 1680*1050, 16xAA/1920*1080p, 0xAA perspective. I mentioned myself that Crysis does look better but that's a matter of destrutibility, physics and scale.

You guys don't have to agree with me but I'd like you to at least give some info on what kind of modded Crysis we're talking here. Otherwise you may as well just be talking screenshots.

[QUOTE="Fightingfan"][QUOTE="alexside1"] Crysis pics in 5.4.3.2....AAllxxjjnn

Its up for grabs...

ITT: Dont need...reconfirmation.

When crysis released, it took 4 of the best consumer graphics cards to run it at max, at 1680x1050... at barely 50 fps. Now it takes 4 to run it at 50fps at 2560x1600. To run it at the maximum settings over 50 fps... you still have to spend $700 on your graphics cards. I'd say it's money king.stiggy321

Well, this thread isn't about value for money. And for you information, a GTX480 with Quad Core i7 can run Crysis at 1920x1080 at 50fps with no AA. At 2560x1600, you'll get much much less fps. And ignoring SLi/Crossfire or tripple cards, the GTX480 is second to HD5970, making it the second best card in the market.

I feel "graphics king" is all in the eye of the beholder. Crysis looks good but its nothing mind blowing...to me anyways.

It looks horrible on my 23.5" monitor at 1920x1200 on very high. Which runs like a total lag fest, and looks horrible because the lack of any AA. So yes, crysis is a graphics king if you have $3000 worth of computer equiptment, which is not worth it considering the only game you weren't able to play with the previous 'good' (about $1000) pc was crysis. Bad company 2 looks as good as crysis to me, and it can with loads of AA on a modest computer which makes it definitivly better looking then crysis.

What on Earth? It looks fantastic and I run V.High at 1920x1200 with either 2xAA or no AA. Higher resolutions lessen the need for AA.

Eh? I am not sure. Mabey I forget what it looks like since I havn't tried it out for so long.... Downloading the very high config now.

I was actually just playing it last week. Started Vanilla and then I modded it.

Whilst jaggies were only slightly evident, I really had to look for them (with no AA).

CRYSIS WITH VERY HIGH MOD, RUNNING AROUND 23 fps. Sorry forgot to put displayinfo on.

CRYSIS ULTRA HIGH QUALITY. RUNNING AT AN ASTONISHING 18 FPS!

Crysis is a joke. No one over at crytek ever heard of something called 'optimisation'. I can hounestly say I have seen alot of games better on the eye then crysis.

CRYSIS HAS FAIL ART. I WOULD RATHER THE LOOK OF REACH OVER CRYSIS ANY DAY.

OR BAD COMPANY 2.

OR GEARS OF WAR 3.

Consoles may not be as powerfull as pc, but the developers can sure optimise the crap out of their games.

That is probably why it was that cost, they put it together for me. But if I was to screw something up it (static electricity for e.g) it would cost me alot more in the end.

I think you could argue that it wasn't a graphics king that whole time for most people. In fact, it's gotten better looking as people have finally been attaining the hardware to run it proper.

I understand that. It costs more because it runs cooler (isn't it 45 nm or something?) which means you have more room for overclocking. Anyway, I am sick of talking about graphics all the time; Crysis fails in the sp and mp.

Got ripped off, I got a PC with way higher specs than you and I built mines for $640 in 2008. And Crysis is the best looking game ever./

Yah I built a computer around 3 years ago that had an 8800gt and it cost around 650 USD.

So that guy overpayed by a lot.

Also I get ok FPS with Crysis.

Lets talk about what should be the REAL topic here. Crysis - A failure game for 3 years and counting, with the only thing going for it is graphics.

Cool graphics mod there, gotta love that cartoony look :)

I use CCC, Rygel's Texture Pack, and Silent's HD Foliage. Think I had Xtreme Particle Physics too. The one thing that really impressed me about Metro 2033 was the lighting, seeing as it's based all around darkness. The character models, I prefer Crysis a lot more. In Metro, at least the faces, make the people seem DERPDERP. The textures are good in both games imo, but Metro has higher quality ones. It's probably the scale of the outdoor jungle environment that really impresses me with Crysis. Especially the water, it looks oh so nice with mods.

But yeah so far lighting and some textures are what really stand out in 2033 for me.

What on Earth? It looks fantastic and I run V.High at 1920x1200 with either 2xAA or no AA. Higher resolutions lessen the need for AA.

Whether it's fantastic or not with or without AA, it's all about standards. You see, 1280x1024 isn't very different from 1920 x 1080. It's longer, but the pixel size is the same, just more pixels. So if you don't think it looks good enoughon 1280x1024, it won't look any better on 1920x1080. And 2xAA is quite pointless. You either play 4xAA or 0xAA. But after you get used to 4XAA, reverting to 0xAA will start to look unbearable. But if you generally never played with any AA, you'll think it's okay. So it's about standards.
