Game with the best graphic on PC, vanilla and Moded (a serious thread)

Guy spamming Crysis 2, can you link me to some of those mods?

Cheers.

BF3 looks the best and runs the easiest. It runs so much better than Crysis 2 and I haven't tried the new AMD drivers for it yet.

I assure you that any 360 games come out in 2008 could toss them right into trash bin

Really? Which ones?

Am I the only one that can't stand the exaggerated depth of field in these mods? I also find the extreme hdr effect to be VERY cheesy, especially from a photography standpoint.

LOL!! crysis1's best, repeative, horrible enviorment, simplistic unifrom skin.

Superior human facial rendering, technology 3 generations ahead, crysis 2 is the king

pcps360

I love how the geometry in the standard enemies in Crysis 1 is so superior to the geometry in the MAIN CHARACTER in Crysis 2. Doesn't matter how much shiny are the textures in Crysis 2, no one can hide the fact that the regular character modelling is way more complex and detailed (the tufts of hair, the fingers, the details in the uniform... ). Consoles just weren't able to handle the C1 wireframe and Crytek was forced to scale it back in C2.

Why would they be forced to scale it back on PC, that has 10x better hardware today than it had in Crysis 1 release time ?

I cant make sense of that

Because cost a lot of time to fix the mess. Currently the best Crysis 2 "mod" is the Maldo's HD textures (in the blackfire mode, despite that 97% of the mod is the Maldo's work); is not a good sign when a modder is doing better work than the own Crytek patchs.

@Heirren: yeah, the right shoulder of Prophet is amazingly "photorealistic"; looks like they used about four triangles to carve up that part of the wireframe.

More relevant: I can play Crysis Wars in DX 10 with full environment interaction and full day/night light cycle without using any mod at all, whereas Crysis 2 multiplayer doesn't support any of those features (hell, even in BF3 the day/night cycle is utterly absent despite was the perfect landscape to implement it).

Screw all that, Mechwarrior Living Legends mod for Crysis is where it's at!

@Heirren: yeah, the right shoulder of Prophet is amazingly "photorealistic"; looks like they used about four triangles to carve up that part of the wireframe.

Ondoval

Who is to say what that material is, though. The shading and geometry is far more realistic. Look at the C1 pic. Notice how the vest unrealistically rests on the shirt. There is NO shading whatsoever. The leaves, as well.

Just call me when a game using CryEngine 3 could do this in real time:

Because Crysis 1 can.

Reposting the same pictures does not prove a point.

Crysis 2 is ugly as sin, Crysis 1 is still marvelous to look at. Blackfire and MalDO make C2 look even worse, especially those overdone textures and unrealistic shadows.

I really do love how you love to claim bullshot at every Crysis pic that trashes Crysis 2, then go and post ToD art and bullshots from CE3.

ChubbyGuy40

Oh, You were so right, I can't agree more, I wasn't even try to make this conversation reasonable, I didn't care to split the graphic category into vanilla, moded and artistic to begin with. I was the zombie mentality cyrsis1 fanboy come in disregard them all and pulled million google searched bull shots for trolling propose after I showed how fugly they are compare to crysis2's medium setting.

except the first poster, I have yet to see a single crysis1 fanboy give me a shot from their own PC, while half of my shots are from my PC and true gameplay footage.

overdone texture? lol it's not cryengine 3's fault when cry engine2' packed with fugly low res texture, horrible geometry and uncapable of rendering any real lighting and DOF.

People's eyes are open, now not even the maddest crysis1 fanboy on earth would denail how much crysis2 killed crysis1's finest mods.

And I espeically love it when you in favor of cry1 bullshots vs cry2's reall gameplay footage and when they got trashed by cry2's unmoded medium setting then you started calling my pics bulls.

oh in case you haven't notice, 70% of crysis2 shots are real footage with no hud, yes it looks that much better. ;)

ferret-gamer

half of the crysis2 shots are in game screens without hud, or straight from editor's packed resource. so many pages down I can spot maybe only 2 shots from crysis1's bullshots that has really assoicte with the playable mods and the original crysis1.

I have yet to see a single crysis1 fanboys willing to back up crysis1 with their own shots, these stubbron fanboys don't even know what real crysis1 looks like anymore.

I like how some of these screens don't show gameplay.

[QUOTE="hoola"]

So it is looking like Crysis 1 is still graphics king until we get a comparison to BF3. We need a good BF3 vs Crysis 1 unmodded graphics thread with 20 of the best pictures each. That will determine what the current graphics king is.

pcps360

What matters is that no game can compete not even crappy cell-streamed games like gta4 or crysis2

Like people care the slightiest about your robotic fanboyish false thinking, you clearly don't understand what the technical superiotity is as your ugly crysis1 googled bullshot has proven me correct again and again.

And it totally does matter who's PC is on actully, those ugly bullscreen of yours are pulled off from google with ugly texture and nintindo64 lvl geometry are been seen by everyone at least 20102434281 zillion times while yourself have no idea what real crysis looks like

2 things 1. crysis mods or vanilla looks nothing like that, but crysis2 does faithfully look everything I posted in the screen. 2. most crysis1's enviorment only look ok in distance, you can clearly spot technical short coming by walk up close.

and most of all, you don't know how to judge graphic other than your weak google searching skill. now come on, time to get off those fugly dated low texture, weak geometry rocks and mountains, show me some cities, interior, and patical effect :lol:

sorry to kill those ugly crysis1 bullshots all over again. the total photorealism crysis2 by cry engine 3

crysis1 fugly bullshots overkill confirmed, now any more questions? 8)

I will always chime in these threads and say Just Cause 2. The game looks amazing and runs butter smooth. Hopefully we get a Just Cause 3 soon with full DX11.

Grawse

Not to mention that Just Cause 2 probably has the best 3D in any game.

not fond of this mod tbh. looks a little odd. like the sky is too bright or something.

Yeah totally unrealistic. Way too bright and blue. There are plenty better graphics mods for GTA 4.

Only if mindless crysis1 fanboy's would just accept what real crysis looks like and stop pulling TOD's stock lvl 6 none playable gallery in every thread that talks about graphic, there would be alot to talk about on the vinilla games such as JC2 and Mirror's edge. The discussion subjects were set clear to begin with.

Am I the only one that can't stand the exaggerated depth of field in these mods? I also find the extreme hdr effect to be VERY cheesy, especially from a photography standpoint.

Heirren

in crysis 2, depth of field is entirely optional, 3 thickness lvl DOF or completely disable it just a finger click away. anyway, it's just a matter of you want it look 5 times better than crysis1, or 10 times better ;) and it doesn't happen most of time only when you view focused on a person on an object, just like real life photograph.

it's a cool visual trick used by Cryengine3 and alot advanced game engine in 2010-2011, my personal favorite is medium level DOF.

like the other person said, the shade quality of crysis2 is mutli times of crysis1, it's funny when you talking of geometry, because cryengine2's backward rendering can't even render a single good rounded/cycle object, while cryengine 2 can have thousands of them at once on screen

and calling it "shinny texture" is no excuse for crysis1's lack of detail and low polygon counts, the suit in picture two has 1. bumber texture 2, shade model 5.0's modifier, all of which crysis1 has no ability to process. moder and artist can re-draw the ugly texture outlet, but they can't rebuild the polygon budget, just look at leaf around korean solider's neck, a mediocre rendering at best in today's gaming world

If you think that N64 lvl physics is anything to be amazed, then you'd probably would cry yourself to death after you watched this video. your "godly complex physics" is perfectly benchpressed by a 6 year old hardware existed 2 years before crysis release. :lol: ---->

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQ_1mcnH2yQ

If you ever got your hands on Crysis2's SKD, then you should probably know cryengine3 has absoluately anything and everything from crysis1 except better, cryeinge3's physics isn't mutlitime superior to cryseinge2 like it did to other department, which is a shame, it's just become better and more scaleable.

The stalker bricks, no contest. They look and "feel" like if theywere thereal thing.

that's how pathetic crysis1 fanboys can get to, use the best part from a moded game to disgrace a game they decide to hate to begin with just because it has console version, and yet, fight night 3 has far better character mode than crysis1, TW2 has far better particle tricks than crysis1, fifa12 has far better grass than crysis1, GTA has far better charater animation than crysis1, killzone has far more realistic blood and death animation than crysis1, the list goes infinite. is so easily to pick the best aspect on an good title to defy another title they don't like, irrational to

but fortunately cryengine 3 packed with everything to easily destroy crysis1 fanboi's hilarious excuse, DX11+Offical texture pack along crushs whatever crysis+mods and stalker+mods has to put on the table, and bricks from crysis2 mods is obviously Stalker 5's target CGI quality.

pcps360

But none of them offer all that in one package like Crysis does.

Let us know when CE3 doesn't produce a PoS game :)

Vanilla PC games look ugly, compared to console games. But modded pc games look damn good tho. Still i wouldnt spend the money on the pc required to run those games, which i doubt a cheap low end $600 computer you people brag about as the gospel will be able to run those mods.WyteCollaCrim

You can get an i3-2100 and 6850 for $600. That'll max out every game.

[QUOTE="pcps360"]

[QUOTE="gamebreakerz__"] Uhm.... All the shots I posted were ones I took from my PC. The ones of Crysis 2 are DX11+Hi res textures+blackfire mod on ultra high. Some of the textures on Crysis 2 are amazing, but a lot of them are awful, like really really bad. If you apply all the texture mods to Crysis you can basically not find anything with a low resolution texture but on Crysis 2 they are all over the place. gamebreakerz__

and yet your shots and mine looked like two total different games, is it not? and no, my first 2 shots are just plain vanilla crysis2 + DX11 and they were taken long ago.I'm guess 2 possiblities, 1. you don't have DX11 OS/hardware 2. I can tell you didn't install the DX11 patch(or blackfire 2.0) correctly, open yoru console, if it has more than 3 errors, and your Pmapping and tes look anything less than my first 2 shots, then something is not installed correct.

and you are quite wrong, you said it yourself, crysis1 needs multi mods(lighting patch, texture patch, custom map and mroe) to make it look half as good as those bullshots, because the real vanilla maxed out crysis1 had too much tehcnical short coming, and it shows every here and there as you walk down the beach or look at the grass, I probably played most crysi1 mods than 99% GS forum users and none of them impressed me, crysis2 vanillia with DX11 max out however, wowed me right from the start, every corner and every detail was nearly flawless compare to crysis1.

also crysis2 is vastly superior because it had everything done beautifully in the package, it doesn't even need a mod for each ugly crysis1 short coming to look good, hell, DX11+hd texture crysis2 doesn' t even need blackfire2.0 to kill all crysis1 + all mods combined.

now at least we are agreeing on something, but sorry my friend, moded cyrsis2 edge out moded crysis1 by even larger margin than their vanilla version, and yes, I personally collected all the best cry1 mod possible and I played more cry1 mods than 99.99% GS forum users, the more I play crysis2 the more I realize how ugly crysis1 is.

your moded logic with crysis 1 is pretty much as an ugly woman wouldn't dare to show herself in the public without massive plastic surgery on her nose, eyes, mouth and even skin, on the other hand you have a nature born beauty who genetically has beautiful eyes, nose mouth and better skin, she just need a simple hair cut to look better than the first.

and you were quite wrong, mods community is not irrational fan based, they are simply gaming enthusiastist want to make a name for themselves by making good games with free SKDs form devs. cryengine3 SKD just released on june and so far there are 6 mods I know of, 2 will releasing soon next month and at least 20 projects on the way. That's more than crysis1 had at time and 95% of crysis mods are junkies anyway.

and you said when compare texture cysis1 mods easily win? lol trust me, you don't have slightest idea what best moded crysis2 looks like, and you'd be surprised how far behind crysis1 is in comparison.

Now let's take your screenshot, you think this it represnt cyrsis2's best texture?

now look at mine with the same texture under the same lighting modifier.

Find me another crysis mod have 1/3 texture map size than this

one of the best crysis1 texture qauiltiy from mod community ---->

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=417651

we know cryengine 3 is capable of more advanced things than cryengine 2, but for god's sake....crysis 2 and all it's mods look like they've been dipped in oil

:o HOLY **** ***** I officially ****fy this as ultimate end thread screenshot. crysis2 is vastly superior to crysis1 without question, but this is simply the most godly texture I ever seen in a video game or a movie.

MOD DOWNLOAD LINK PLZ!!

ROFL! our ignorant friend still haven't got a clue, all CE2 packed are just abrunch of trees and rocks(not even good looking ones) and mod communities has to re-draw the textures and multiplay booms and that blurry/backward DX10 DOF by 10 flod and call it "GUD GFX" :lol:

pcps360

All CE3 has is lots of **** blur and bloom which is used to hide its low res textures and lack of detail.

Ironical,because crysis 2 is a linear call of duty clone and should have more detail than crysis 1,which has a huge open map.

ROFL!! I don't think is possible to find someone even more ignorant than the last person. Blur and bloom are pretty much the names of cyrsis1 mods, all crysis1 did was trick fools eyes by deploy massive amount of low res, WII lvl rendering foilage to cover up the gernally unbearable ugly texture and LOD and crysis1 has 0 shade quaility to speak of, beside trees and rocks, CE2 is capable of nothing.

fortunately CE3 just packaged with everything to destory your piss poor excuse for cyrsi1's uglyness, HDR intensty from 0.1-5 is a button away at your disposal, day of time, light blending lvl, color plate can be massively adjusted at your liking. again, it's a matter of you want crysis2 looks 10 times or 50 times better than crysis1? ;)

son, any bad looking game could trun half decent with that amount of trees and rocks.

Well,that line proves that you know nothing about what you are saying.

Foliage is the most difficult thing to make realistic.GTA IV with mods looks realistic if you look at the buildings.Take a look at the foliage and it will look like a wii game.One of the reasons why Killzone 2 looks better than other console games is because it has almost no foliage.

Have you ever looked at the custom maps for crysis 2 which have foliage?The grass looks like ****** PLASTIC.

Stuff like HDR intensity,day of time,light blending,colour palette.....Do you really think that's something to brag about?I have worked on the UDK and it has all that too.

Anyway,I don't think you are really interested in having a discussion.No offence but it seems that you are a crytek employee who is here just to advertise CE3.

I shall take my leave now.

ROFL!! some1 actully thinks Crysis1 has texture and LOD. :lol:

Let's do a quick reality check shall we? 8) texture wise we all know how many light years crysis1 behind cyrsis2 as last page showed.

now let's get to LOD, some of the best C1 mods out there, my forest and GDC expend.

"ZOMG, PHOTOREALISTIC GFX!!!" well, let's examie the LOD

I've seen better LOD than this on Wii.

there's no such thing as LOD existed in CE2's rendering ability.

I actually do both CE2 and CE3 modding for my personal pleasure, I said time of day and HDR intensity adjustment was to dispute your fail claim says that crysis2 was covered by blooms and blurs which is exactly what crysis1's mods was all about. and you are wrong beyond your limit. strong HDR intensity interfere the entire atmosphere and every on screen object and moving characters, light blending and DX11 DOF are power hogs(try that in metro2033)

Good looking HD foliage is important for looking impression, but the ones existed in CE2 is pretty weak and surpassed by many existing games today. you need CE3 to do the job;) of course you can't come back when logic and fact is out of your element, screenshots are out there speak for themselves. stubbornness is there to have, but your eyes won't lie to your brain:lol:
