Will any other game ever be undisputed graphics king for 3.5 years?

I think Crysis just set an unbreakable record.

It's only fitting that the new graphics king will be Crysis 2.

Developers have learned rapidly pushing graphics just to push graphics alienates fans by increasing spec demands.

How many PC gamers could actually play Crysis at (or near) high settings when it launched.

Graphic war races are not good for the PC gaming industry.

nope. The next king, Crysis 2, may not even last a year.

Depends on how good Doom 4 looks.

I not saying graphics pushes are bad, just graphic races (like arms races).

When every company is competing for the #1 graphics spot on PC, it causes hardware to be outdated fast.

I had a gaming PC that cost nearly $2000(in 03/04). It became outdated and unable to play the good new games in less than 2 years(even at low settings).

PC gaming cost were growing exponentially till about when this current console gen started. The tech push/race slowed down and stabilized.

I know that's bologna because I built a rig in 03 for $1300 and it could play games cranked up until sometime in 07' when dual cores started becoming big.

Its not all about the textures. while Crysis looks great, the textures are a bit janky. Everything else in the game is amazing thoe.

Crysis 2 might dethrone, or Doom 4, but the thing with doom is that alot of things in the IDtech5 is static & not dynamic.

Vanilla Crysis was already detroned by Metro 2033 in the technical department and by Uncharted 2 in the art style department. You need a reality check ;)

Crysis did set the bar kind of high.

Battlefield 3 on the PC has a shot becuase of it's native DX10 and amazing DX11 support.

Can't give it to Metro when the DX10 and DX11 run like ass on good hardware.

Crysis is hella optimized all things considered. It ran on very high settings in 2007 on 2006 hardware getting like 30-40 FPS and today most gaming rigs can rip it apart. Metro can't even run on very high settings in 2010 with a high end rig and still crams you into small spaces.

I alwasy have said that Uncharted 2 is more detailed but it falls short on the scale.

At least poorfamz rename your picture so that when you right click to save it it wont say crysisenemieslow. If you are gonna troll do it the right way. rename the pic to crysisenemiesuberdetail

[QUOTE="JangoWuzHere"]

[QUOTE="psx_warrior"]Yeah, really. Especially when you look a little bit more closely at the textures of the two games. God of War 3 certainly does look amazing, but the textures just aren't as detailed as those of Crysis.mattuk69

It's not that bad. I just started Crysis from the beginning, only texture mods I use is foliage:

Sorry about them being kinda dark. I did a fresh start to make sure there are no savegame screwups in relation to my config and it's night in the beginning of the game.

Optimization means nothing here. Crysis was pretty unplaylable on maxed settings when it came out too, but that doesn't mean it wasn't the technically most advanced game at the time ;)

This was taken on my 2007 budget PC.

Crysis Warhead running on my old ASUS G1SN (due to NVIDIA bumpgate issues,my G1S was replaced with G1SN) and medium settings.

I usually buy PC hardware in sync with the current console generation e.g. PS3 was released in Nov 2006 and I bought my ASUS G1S (with Geforce 8600M GT GDDR3) in May 2007. After the laptop's income tax depreciation expense schedule has run out i.e. starting from 2007 H1 to end of 2009 H1, I bought ex-demo Sony Vaio VGN-FW45 (With Radeon HD 4650) for $800 AU which matches the limit on the income tax depreciation expense in a given financial period. i.e. 2009 H2 to end of 2010 H1. Since I was NVIDIA fan, I use this laptop to test ATI's Radeon HD hardware and drive software stack.

My current DELL Studio XPS 1645's income tax depreciation expense schedule starts from 2010 H2 to end 2012 H2. Most the expenses are claimed back on income tax i.e. over time, my net cash expense to me is nearly zero.

Since I work as application programmer (C++/C#), I can't use this income tax benefit with the game consoles. PS; If you are working, contact your income tax agent for tax related advice i.e. it might save you $$.

What lol? Metro has many effects Crysis doesn't have. The only thing where Crysis has the advantage is the view distance and foilage quality. But considering Metro takes place in sewers, it's not that easy to compare the two.

I doubt Uncharted 2 dethroned Crysis in the art style department, since Crysis had never that throne and Uncharted 2 isn't way up there either.

Plus Uncharted's art is nothing special at all. It's just nicely detailed. Things like Kirby's Epic Yarn is an example of great art.

The graphics king will change more slowly over time because it will become harder to top previous standards when graphics capabilities increase more slowly.

Going by awards on GS 2010 God of War 3 is Graphics King so what are you guys chatting about?
