Wow. You couldn't figure out the difference was bloom effects between the two sets of pictures? Bloom = shine = reflective effects = wow. The second set, which you claim to be a downgrade,still looks better than any game period.

I expected this to be a post about the single player gameplay (would have been more true if that was your reason).

It is Far Cry 1.5 in terms of gameplay though. Thats not a dig, Far Cry was fun, and this is a slicker, slightly more refined version of that, with some platformer/arcade FPS style power ups through your nanosuit.

I honestly think Unreal3 looks better than this game, but thats not the big thing with Crysis. The main deal is that it still looks fantastic, and features very large levels, better enemy AI and physical interaction with the world.

It will probably be a very good game in the end, just don't go into playing it, expecting that it will be gameplay nirvana, or a revolution in FPS play. Its not. Its Far Cry, improved overall and with interesting tech behind it.

Crysis should be better optimized. the requirements are STEEP.

I'm sure some will enjoy this game, but you shouldn't compare it to Far Cry as there is a sequal in the works for that.

Why don't you wait for the game to come out so you can do comparisons of the same places in the screenshots before you call downgrade... the demo level doesn't have any places that would provide a good showcase for bloom/HDR lighting.

That happened to me. You need to add the necessary AA options, hit apply, wait a few moments, and hit back--then exit the menu screen.

what is the logic behind pc games not being able to be downgraded. Also, Crysis ground texture is nowhere near this:

too good to be true - downgrade confirmed

Yeah the textures look WAY downgraded from the target footage, but no game ever looks as good as when it's first shown, but Crysis still looks good, nothing PS3 or 360 couldn't do, but very good.

Failed comparison, the first set is maxed out in DX10, the second set looks like medium settings to me. HDR doesn't even seem to be on :|

By the way, Crysis @ medium looks better than any console game out there.

Actually, it does. Try playing the game in DX10, or at least look at some user screenshots before opening your mouth and commenting on something you have no clue about.

Wow. Where to start?

Firstly, there is no "very high" in the demo, it is disabled. If you had the demo, you would know that; but you DON'T know that, so that means you don't have the demo, therefore you are a liar.

Secondly, since you don't have the demo, and are a liar, I can only assume that you also weren't in the beta, and if you weren't in the beta OR the demo, then you haven't played Crysis.

Thirdly, those screens STILL look awesome.

In conclusion, you haven't played Crysis, so you don't know jack about squat.

Obviously, you haven't tried experiencing the slideshow that is "very high" in the Crysis demo. Play in DX10 mode. You can choose it.

And yeah, the textures on very high aren't as good as the older screens showcased. Qarl's Texture Pack is better, let alone FakeFactory's Cinematic Mod pack for Half Life 2.

If I had had DX10, I would be using it.


Isn't DX10 supposed to offer *better* performance? Then again, Crysis is "supposed" to let me turn off AA... :?

I must be the only person on the planet who played through the demo with every setting at very high, DX10, and at 1680x1050 resolution, and it was smooth and very playable. Sometimes I have to wonder if people even bother turning off their background programs before they boot up games like this, or if they leave stuff like anti-virus running :lol:. I've basically tweaked Vista down to its bare bones, killed every service running that I didn't need and removed that Aero bs, etc. And I did that long before Crysis came along.

There are people with better rigs than me who can't seem to run the game at the settings I run them at. I haven't even turned down any settings from very high, nor the resolution. It only ever turns into a slide-show when I turn on AA, which I feel is pointless to do since jaggies are almost entirely unnoticeable when I'm playing, because of the high res and the great depth of field/motion blur.

And I don't really see a problem with Crysis' textures. Then again, I'm not nitpicky type.

What downgrade are you speaking of? Those non cinimatic shots versus those cinimatic shots? Only difference I see is that one is taken with a ver set up enviorment, the others are taken from just any old part of the game.

Hmm....

I'd rather not turn off all my background apps though because to me their necessary.

And if you got it working at a playable framerate, you should tell all those that are frustrated with it. Coz a lot of people are getting angry about it. I'm sure a lot of people are willing to do more than me to get it running smoothly.

As for textures, I'm a texture whore lol. Perhaps it's my comp, but Oblivion mods and HL mods didn't have the same problem.
