Crysis | *Shocking* new 13-minute video inside.

Teh video.

It says "DX10" on the GT page, but we now believe it to be DX9.

After watching this video...the last 2 minutes of it in particular...I must give it:

God bless every man, woman and child with a rig that can run it.

Crysis, baby. 8)

It looks..

Wow, I've seen countless Crysis videos and trailers and such, but the difference was IMMEDIATELY noticeable as soon as this video started. Holy crap @ DX10.Zeliard9

yes.

Thank you,God.Greyhound222

*picks jaw from floor*

This game just looks better every time.

But thats from GC which was in DX9. Also, notice the shadow, it has the gun's shadow also. That was a glitch at E3 and was a major point of criticism. Also, E3 had it set on Ultra-Easy, characterized by the orange boxes around peoplewhen using binoculars so you wouldn't miss them. At GC everyone picked their own difficulty setting and you can tell because now people are only highlighted in this video. Finally, thebiggest thing is the format of thecloak mode on the nanosuit. GC'sversion has a muchdifferent look than E3. You were amazed by the DX9 because this is the GC demo taken by IGN. DX10 is even better.horrowhip

100% sure it's not DX10? I see the foliage (palm tree leaves) being brushed aside by the players shoulder and all that. I thought that was a DX10-only feature?

They added that feature to DX9. It's not 100% accurate and not all foliage does it, but its in DX9. Dx10 does it perfectly though. Trust me, that is DX9.

The AI and difficulty could use some working onbatistafan99

meh... its medium-low on the very first training level.I wouldn't expect it to slaughter you in the first freakin level. That would just be mean. Crysis will be just as hard a Far cry was, and Far Cry was impossibly difficult on the highest difficulty settings.

well if you change the difficulty, the AI shouldn't get incredibly retarded. They should shoot you right when they see you, regardless of difficulty

The graphics definately looked great, but the gameplay looked a bit off. I'm not as impressed as I was with the Far Cry 2 gameplay vid posted yesterday.

Understood. I'll edit my thread title.

some games do it that way. Thats how Far Cry did it. Besides, people were actually saying nothing but good things about the AI after they played the game.

So its only worth it if you have Vista and a DX10 GPU with a 256Bit memory length and above? Hmm.. Looks like I'll be purchasing all of the above:PPro_wrestler

:lol: I simply didn't expect that ending to your post. ;)

or maybe the off-screen camera and video compression could be better? If you read any preview of people that played it at GC, they said the framerate was a solid 60 FPS. This video is terribly low quality and honestly horrible.

Haha, damn, that's really only DX9? Maybe it's because it's off-camera, that's what makes it look better than it normally does. If DX10 is even more impressive, then I don't really have anything to say except "demo's in two weeks!".

At the end was the first time I ever saw any of the game's cutscenes and storyline. 0_0Vandalvideo

I'll watch it later at home because it's lagging on the computer I'm using.

Thanks though.

its DX9. They didn't show the cutscene at the end until GC and they only showed it at GC. The GC demo was in DX9.

The video could have been better but I believe all the hitching I saw was the game itself. PC games that I played don't have a constant framerate like consoles, it all depends on the hardware you have. Maybe it will be better optimised before the game ships, I certainly hope so.dmaximum

it wasn't the game. IGn and Gamespot made a point of saying that the GC demo ran 100% perfectly smooth all the time. It was the video and compression.

Why do people think they can tell what framerate a game is running on from videos???

Videos usually run at like 24 FPS...

I highlydoubt Crysis was running below 24 FPS. :?

You were probably seeing the game doing it's autosave...

That's why words came up in the middle of the screen when it stopped for like a second.

Microsoft and Crytek deliver yet again :)

Looks good like usual. I like the new stealth effect.:)smokeydabear076

Thread gets Smokey's seal of approval? Hermits must be pleased with it, then. ;)

That's true. I do remember now the Crysis director saying in the developer walkthrough that they were also showing the DX10 version of Crysis at GC, but behind closed doors.
