The Developers of Crysis must be so proud.

It has been years since Crysis' release and not a single game has been able to top it.

thanks for the input

Crytek doesn't have time to be proud. They're too busy making Crysis 2.

They have to spend time making cows look even worse lol

well yes and no. im sure they are proud that crysis hasnt been beaten...but at the same time i think they know why it hasnt been beaten. its not a lack of talent or a lack of hardware progress.....sadly business and economics has prevented the industry from putting crysis to the sword on the visuals front.osan0

That's a small part. I think it's mainly because CryEngine 2 is the best engine we've ever had. Economics is a big part of why we don't have CryEngine 2 quality engines anywhere else. I also thing blindness has become part, because you constantly here people saying no game has ever come close to Crysis, while Shattered Horizon and Metro 2003 have both put up a fight.

Visualwise yes, otherwise no.

The only dev thats tried to top Crysis is 4a and I would say they did with Metro 2033.

Visualwise yes, otherwise no.

Pretty much this, Crysis was a play-and-forget shooter.

Must be proud of lack of sales due to need of great graphics cards.

they're probably more proud of Cryengine than the game itself.

yes, linear, namely non open-world, barely-2weeks-to-10month-old games DO say otherwise:roll:

Having an opinion is wrong? Thanks for the tip.

portability with consoles are whats keeping Crysis on top.

Why do you think no other developer is adopting the engine for their games? Because a fully optimized Cryengine2 game would be a nightmare to port to consoles. This is why Crytek went multiplayer route with CE3.

Are far as hardware limitations go, this is simply not the case. Crysis has been "maxed out" years ago, now and days a lower tier GPU can run it. However the cryengine2 cannot be "maxed out" due to it's flexibility. In the same sense, as long as new hardware keeps rolling out, the more "capable" CE2 is. In the same sense of how Source engine looks great on todays hardware.

Let me know when they reach this Level /KZ2 / UC2 / or GOW3 Dont even have Bump maping on characters Face

Opinions are not shields from having to justify your claims. You not liking Crysis is a opinion, saying it's forgettable is a disputable claim.

Want to see generic FPS design? Try the mass production/disposable FPS series like Call of Duty. Crysis did many things that these corridor shooters didn't, labeling Crysis forgettable or run of the mill is a disservice to what it did.

Crysis didn't get GameSpot's best FPS of 2007 because it is "forgettable"; or graphics over game play as some like to claim.

I see.... so in your opinion, Demons Souls was the BEST game released last year?

and MGSIV has better technical graphics than Crysis Warhead?

you must, since you believe everything a gaming website tells you.

Why would I need to shield myself in the first place? I played it, then I forgot about it.

I don't mind a little linearity in shooters, open world/free realming is overrated and at best only gives you the illusion of freedom. Not that I think COD is a good game or even a decent example.

So proud that they made a game that can only be properly run 2 and half years later?

Agreed though, it is a fun game. Don't need to talk about the graphics, obviously.

i still play it to this day of course with the lifeses mod running full with my 5970

and MECHWARRIOR LIVING LEGENDS BHAHA

also as for graphics go blame the consoles on there obsolete hardware.

an average run of the mill pc 500-600 usd blows consoles away in specs, and most of them can run crysis on medium high

30 FPS is not acceptable for a PC FPS. which is around what I get with my 4850. so I lower res and quality till I get over 60 no matter what. my 4850 was much more than $120. granted it was like a year and a half ago...but still.

I have... and they are right.... Crysis is pretty graphics & nice physics, everything else is a big "meh"

Really? With Crysis, I don't mind so much and play much closer to the 30FPS mark than 60.

Other games I agree though.

30fps is playable for me... thats what I'm getting in Crysis Warhead on MAX settings, and Metro 2033.... I have no issues with it.

To be honest, you're really just agreeing with their opinion, as it's in line with yours. They really can't be right on the matter, as everybody has different ideals.

[QUOTE="princeofshapeir"] You've never played Crysis, have you? It's by far one of the best FPS's this gen. It excels in more than just the graphics department. princeofshapeir

For me when I played Crysis, it was like "why would I want to enter a fight differently?". Why would I was to find a car and drive 5 minutes just so I can plow it into an enemy camp, or why would I want to spend even more time with the stealthy approach and sneak around? I'm not particularly patient or creative, so I either went with the cloak/kill/hide or just sniping from afar. If I remember correctly also wasn't fond of the traveling time between points.

Not all wanted to play it like you do. Some liked going in guns blazing. Others liked sneaking in. Still others liked everything in between. The game made room for those unlike other games.

There's your problem. :P I think Crysis is overrated, but it's still one of the best games I've played this gen, to be honest. Definitely better then most other FPS, ESPECIALLY console FPS. Stalker owns it though. :D

It has been years since Crysis' release and not a single game has been able to top it.
