Crysis is a great looking game and running on my GTX 460 at a nice smooth framerate I must say it's the best looking game out there. With that said it's not what hermits make it out to be, it's not light years ahead of console games (Vanilla version). I mean it's 3 years old for crying out loud :?karasill

Uh hell yes it is? With the amount of depth and field you have.. When you compare games, your comparing ones like Killzone 2.. Where the majority of the game is in small scale rooms and hallways.. Where in Crysis you have full scale tank battles over a huge landscapes, there is a huge difference.

The best looking parts of the game are during the American Invasion and on ward.. Inside the mountain, on the slopes of the frozen end.. And on the carrier all look jaw dropping.. Furthermore you should at very least use the CCC mod.sSubZerOo
I do use the CCC mod :) And yes it did impress me the first time ive seen it but it doesnt anymore! It certainly doesnt impress me as much as the near bullshot quality pictures of crysis that pop up on this forum when anyone mentions that another game looks good...when in reality when the vast majority of people play the game it looks no where near as good as that.

If you say so, but why does it not blow me away and make me think this is what next generation console games will look like? The scale is impressive, but you act like consoles are incapable of sandbox games. Far Cry 2 was actually quite good looking on consoles and had some great scale. As far as textures, geometry, effects, etc, Crysis for the most part is the best, but it is by no means light years ahead of consoles.

I am sorry you obviously didn't play the entire game.. It isn't just scale its whats going on in there.. Farcry 2 was a very static envrionment with no huge battles.. Crysis had tons of huge battles, ranging where you rode in a tank and fought dozens of tanks.... Of not just you but numerous other elements.. So yes it is light years ahead of it if the CONSOLES CAN'T EVEN PLAY THE GAME TO BEGIN WITH.. If the console can't play Crysis, and no game has come close in not only the graphics but being able to do those graphics in immense scope with tons of action.. I honestly am not one to get hung up on graphics.. I think every game looks great, but there is a undeniable thing about Crysis which no game hsa come close.. In being able to give the kind of scale and combat.. Which very few games have been able to mimic.. Perhapes Arma would be a good example of bieng able to do larger battles and what not.

Everyone is biased. You're biased, I'm biased, everyone here is biased. Unreasonable? No. I have no agenda in System Wars, no side to "fight for", I could care less who's best at what. But I disagree with you and think Crysis looks significantly better than what you'd see on consoles, no contest. Guess I'm unreasonable though. Good counter argument.

I think you have a case of Crysis fanboy syndrome! Ofcourse the consoles can play crysis...the settings can be lowered you know? And the tank battle was actually one the least impressive parts of crysis imo! Was that level not mainly just an open field with some trees?

I did play the entire game, why would you say I didn't? :? Yes I know the tank battle in the game, it was epic, espeically considering that you could do it on foot if you chose to.. But from my understanding the TC is clearly only talking about the visual aspect of the game, not the scope or all the tons of things going on at once.

Yes Crysis is a visual master piece but like I said it is not light years ahead of consoles in terms of pure visuals. If you want to factor in everything else then fine, I'll bite. Crytek was able to showcase Cry Engine 3 on consoles and it may have not looked as good the PC version of Crysis but it looked better then what most people expected, and it had scale. We shall see what Crytek can dish out with Crysis 2 on consoles, and I have a feeling it will come out to be better then what most hermits will dare to admit.

The current gen HD consoles can easily run Crysis they just lack in the RAM departments

The PS2 can run Crysis, it's just that it's lacking in the "****" department. And scale is a part of graphics, having a room of ray tracing is not impressive.

Lol i dont remember saying that it doesnt look significant better than CONSOLE games...i am talking about other pc games, i dont find their to be that much of a difference between other top pc games and vanilla crysis! Crysis looks better sure but not head and shoulders above and its not without its flaws! I am not one of these lunatics that think their blurry low resolution killzone 3 looks better than crysis, perhaps if it was out on the pc then they would have an arguement! You would be more reasonable if you read my posts instead of making assumptions about what im arguing about!

Crysis has been graphics king for years....does it not disappoint you that no better looking games are out? Espically when you consider the games scale that Subzero was talking about? Surely by now there would be a "corridor" game with a much smaller scale that blows Crysis's visuals out of the water! I know i for one am pretty dissappointed....unlike most of you guys apparantly the game does not continue to impress me graphically 3 years later....

The best looking parts of the game are during the American Invasion and on ward.. Inside the mountain, on the slopes of the frozen end.. And on the carrier all look jaw dropping.. Furthermore you should at very least use the CCC mod.sSubZerOo
When the night assault with the marines started crapped a house. :o My jaw dropped. Overall I felt like I was in a Rambo movie when I played Crysis. I was extremely impressed.

I agree. I recently got my gaming PC going again with a replacement graphics card. So after finishing Red Dead Redemption, which is a very nice, realistic looking game itself, I fired up Crysis again to test out my new card. I guess there's a slight improvement in performance, but the game didn't look quite as impressive as I remember. I play it with everything on High at 1680x1050 and 2xAA nice and smooth. I tried Very High and the main difference I notice is the extra objects like bushes, a more dense look, not all that much better looking, and it still slows the frame rate more than I'd like. So as you say, vanilla Crysis still the graphis king, yes. Not by much. These days though, graphics are the least of my concerns.

I think Crysis looks great, but not as good as some hermits make it out to be. Its not a generation ahead of consoles. I have a few mods for Crysis that do make the game look much better, but the vanilla version is not the best overall graphics I've seen.

How is it not? The consoles have 512 mb of ram total, and 5 or 6 year old graphics cards. You are wrong about that.

The game looks alright, but nothing that some newer games can't match or even surpass. Still, it doesn't really matter, I thought the game kind of sucked anyways.

I think the console fanboys doesn't realize is that the sheer vastness and the size of Crysis levels is what makes it demanding. Having render all those environments and with great detail consoles would choke. This where Crysis easily beats any console game which is often in closed quraters like in Gears of War 3 or Killzone 3. Cevat Yerli, CEO, of Crytek said it best when he said that if they would have to port to the consoles they would have to cut down on the massive environments as such it no longer be "Crysis".

When you say mixture of high and very high you better be playing with post process and volumetric effects BOTH on Very High. Otherwise no wonder you're not getting it. There was a thread about it yesterday and basically they put Crysis into a strata of its own.

caseystryker

Not only it hasn´t been surpassed(certainly not by console games)but most likely it will continue being the best looking game for awhile(until another PC game surpasses it).

Also,for a game that sucked,it sure got GOTY awards and even on GS was considered not only one of the best FPS ever made but also won best FPS of 2007 against CoD4,Bioshock and Halo 3.

If Crysis sucks,then I wonder the level of "suckage"of Halo 3,CoD4 and Bioshock...

Also,you say "I thougth it kind of sucked anyaways",wich means you haven´t played the game so you don´t even know what you´re talking about.

You haven't even answered to a single one of his points, have you? If Crysis sucked so hard, how did it beat Halo 3, CoD4, Bioshock or UT3?

So funny the amount of Hate PC is getting today. Brings a big smile to my face.

Show's just how great it actually is that all these console gamers have to take the time to attack it. Really, if they weren't jealous they wouldn't even bother posting.

Love PC Gaming....now, excuse me, gota boot up steam and play some games!!!!

Copied and Pasted from another PC hate thread lol.

blues35301

Ofcourse i did, im lucky to be gifted with the great intelligence needed to change a few basic settings to get the game to look and run as best it can. Actually i more or less had everything except for shadows at very high before my 2nd 8800gtx decided it was an **** and died on me....my viewpoint stays the same....back in 2007 Crysis wowed me now it definitely does not. Is it because im used to the graphics? Or is it because the other games are finally starting to catch up? I think it is a combination of both. All i know is that the screenshots posted in this thread of vanilla crysis, which were obviously chosen to try to convince me that im wrong and crysis does actually look a generation ahead of any other game and so represent the better graphical parts of the game, do not impress me! They look more or less exactly the same as it does on my computer...great but not absolutely fantastic...and certainly no where near as good as some of the crysis screenshots that float about this forum to show how good the game looks!

You guys are funny. Is it a crime to have an opinion? I didn't enjoy the game, so what? I personally think Metro 2033 is visually just as impressive as Crysis. Don't get me wrong, the game looks good, it just isn't as impressive as it was back in 2007.

Games on 5 year old hardware aren't even close to catching up. And even on their limited scale. I think you're lying about this or playing it on lower than very high. You mentioned "second 8800gtx died" so you're playing it on one 8800gtx and at 1680x1050? I'd say if you're doing very high settings at that res your getting 15 frames a second with that card. Thats just the truth. If you played it at 1280x720 you might be able to get 25-30fps at very high...

So funny the amount of Hate PC is getting today. Brings a big smile to my face.

Show's just how great it actually is that all these console gamers have to take the time to attack it. Really, if they weren't jealous they wouldn't even bother posting.

Love PC Gaming....now, excuse me, gota boot up steam and play some games!!!!

Copied and Pasted from another PC hate thread lol.

Frozzik
Funny that...except the fact im not a console gamer, all my ps3 and wii do is collect dust 99% of the time! Also the fact Crysis is one of my favorite games of all time and ive replayed it multiply times...heck i spent more time on the demo level than i did on the last 2 call of duty campaigns! I just dont think it deserves as much recognition as it does about how good it looks. Lol i love the game yet im sick of how often its brought up and the way its brought up...i can understand how the console guys feel!

Did you mean to flaunt your ignorance then?

How exactly did I flaunt my ignorance other than having a different opinion? You honestly don't think some current games can match Crysis in visuals?

Please learn to read. I said i was playing high/very high with 1 8800gtx (heavily overclocked might i add) at 1680x1050...but when i was playing with both cards i could put all the settings at very high except shadows and have a similar frame rate! And even if i was lying (which im not) u think i wudnt have put all the settings at max just to look at the pretty graphics? even though it wud be a slideshow? Lol i know i put the AA to max to see how good it looks! (definitely not worth the performance hit!)

Cause ive got Crysis running at 1680x1050 on my computer with a mixture and high and very high and while its overall the best looking game ive played its certainly not head and shoulders above everything and it most certainly is no where near photorealistic!

dom2000
1. Is it 2007, it isn't is it? 2. You're not even running the game on its full visual settings. Wow.

For a brief second, I was actually trying to figure out if this pic was taken from a Crysis mod of some sort...

Its not underwhelming at all :?

The sound, gameplay and graphics blew me away when I first got that game, just amazing FPS.

AA makes a better difference in motion during smooth framerate for one. As you know jaggies dance a lot while moving. But anyways even "high/veryhigh" with an 8800gtx at that resolution is a stretch...you gotta be playing with post process down on high or something. Its like a 10 frame difference. And turning it on every now and then to see what it looks like isn't playing the game with it. Some of the games open vistas and scenes are prettier than others....

I played and completed Crysis 3+ times with 2 8800 gtx in sli with everything at very high except shadows! How many times do i have to say that? Stop arguing about the performance of a single 8800 gtx....thats what im stuck with now since my other one died...doesnt mean ive forgotten what the game what the game looked like. And yes some "open vistas" do look better than others, espcially that one near the start of Crysis Warhead when the planes fly across! That was slightly jaw dropping the first time i seen it for sure! But ive been spoilt, it no longer impresses me! Lets hope Crysis 2 can make that jaw open again for the first time in an fps in 3 years! (sadly i doubt it...think ill have to wait till Hl2 ep3)

With all these Crysis threads floating about I thought there wudnt be much harm adding another! Hopefully it floats to the surface! When you guys talk about Crysis being the most ridiculously good looking game ever created im assuming you guys are talking about modded crysis as opposed to vanilla crysis! Cause ive got Crysis running at 1680x1050 on my computer with a mixture and high and very high and while its overall the best looking game ive played its certainly not head and shoulders above everything and it most certainly is no where near photorealistic! Sure you can take a pretty screenshot somewhere, which quite a few off you are quite good at on this forum, which makes the game look amazing but in vanilla crysis anyway i find it hard to belive you can just ignore all the low resolution textures that like to stick out like sore thumbs! Overall the game (or any game for that matter except Machinarium :) ) ceases to amaze me graphically! Damn the consoles for limiting the pc's graphical experience!

dom2000

You're definitely right that Vanilla Crysis looks nowhere near as good as the screenshots we post here. Then again, non bullshots of console games don't even exist around here and they suffer from the same problem just with a lower standard to begin with.

Crysis does have rather crappy ground textures, even modded. It has a lot of bad textures in general in fact but all games do. Thing is that the stuff that Crysis does good is much better than anything else and what it does bad is still worse elsewhere.

Ever stood on top of a building and have someone throw a grenade into it? I thought it was crazy to see the whole thing collapse non scripted. Last night, I spent 30 minutes destroying the graveyard at the end of Relic because the damn game bugged out and the nano-suit koreans never spawned. It sucked but the amount of random destruction you can do is amazing.

Very High doesn't automatically yield the best image quality because some of the effects can be overdone. For one thing, the shadows are way too dark and shaders at that setting tended to add too much blur at medium to far distances. Players can be excused if they don't play at Very High. In fact, the image quality mod CCC have one or two settings at Medium to Low.

Still makes sense. I could say that I had "the most amazing sandwich" everyone was saying how amazing it was and life changing in the world of sandwiches; for sure it was probably the best sandwich I have ever had but it still was not that amazing. Alot of these pics of crysis just go to prove the point. I like the pic comparison of Crysis then Uncharted 1 or 2. Yeah Crysis may look "more realistic" but that doesn't mean it looks better. I would say uncharted has nicer colours and looks less lacking in colour. That is just my opinion but I do think Crysis needs to have the mods to look amazing. Still the best graphical game arguably but it sure is hyped up with modded screen shots then its a bit of a letdown with out them :P

Well, maxing a game out and a game better looking than most are two different things. You don't necessarily have to max a game out for it to be the best looking when compared to other games.

As a singleplayer FPS? It really is. It's better than pretty much everything else this generation in that category, along with the STALKER games and maybe one or two others.

Vanilla Crysis doesn't look too bad. (But of course modded Crysis looks better)

And as far as some low-res textures go? That's to be expected considering maps are literally more than 5 times the size of KZ2 or Halo 3 maps.

Why does everyone always post those jungle levels and not the later alien ones? Also the density of the Crysis stuff just destroys Killzone 3.
