Just got a new pc, testing the rig with crysis. So what else can you do in this game besides sightseeing?

and what the fuck is wrong with most of the physics, they remind me of Bioshock no?

Man, your PC is shit. 1280px screen, no antialiasing, no HDR. Thats not what is usually meant by "new pc".

this game is shit with retarded AI's.

I hate those fucking soldiers that can hit you even when your behind the fucking forest. such bullshit.

I played crysis on delta mode and it was one of the most enjoyable experiences I've had. On delta, the AI is better, and the increased difficulty makes up for the few retarded mistakes it makes.

The difficulty really does bring out the finer parts of the game, like strengthing up on to the roof of a trailer to snipe from, or laying explosives in a corner and then throwing objects there to attracted nanosuited Koreans.

The only criticisms I have of the gameplay are the reliance on cloak, especially in the harder modes, as well as the sudden drop off in difficulty when the aliens arrive.

Modern PCs handle it with ease, but the trees look like shit without AA.

No.
Modern PC's are exactly the same aside from the GTX280, which is 50% better than the 8800GTX, probably only due to having more Ram.

Crysis is still okay fps untill action starts. On a 2006 PC with 4GB (3.5 recognised) DDR2 800, a core 2 duo 3.2Gh and a 8800GTX Ultra 768mb.
Basicly the minimum requirements don't exist yet. Sure you can turn it all down, but no one wants to do that with a game mainly about looking around.

I'm kind of scared computers are going to be inadequate forever now. Nvidea probably thinks it can make more money by keeping it's G92 factories running. But driver support is over, 8xxx series isn't getting physx for no reason, 9 & 8 are the same, nvidea is just copying microsoft's vista strategy.

I'm hoping i'm wrong, but this is the way it feels to me. Not all that depresing, a reverse engineer compeditor has to come along eventually and make a better card many times over for less, same with windows, and this anti development choice will be made an example of.

ATI(now part of AMD) and nVidia have been competing for years, alternating who is in front. The HD 4870 from AMD has just come out and has a huge amount of performance for its cost. If we don't have games coming out that need faster hardware, then no one will buy faster hardware and games wont get any more realistic / better looking. It does seem thought that the development cycle of graphics processors has slowed down and is now around 18 months wait for a new GPU architecture, rather than 1 year. Oh and BTW I love Crysis. If it's too easy, never use cloak!

This mod: http://www.incrysis.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=18999
tweaks graphics settings and makes it look even nicer with better performance.

New GPU architectures never came out in yearly cycles, instead we just got older rehashed architectures, infact, production has not changed at all, it' still on one and a half year cycles, like it has been for over a decade now.

I don't like smoothing. Hell I even played Deus Ex in software rendering for the detail/pixels.

Anti Aliasing is something I don't need, i'd rather double what is on screen, than have the edges taken out. When the scene is in motion on an LCD it's a waste anyway.

I also reduce the LOD on the mipmaps. Like Doom 3 it looks a hell of a lot better, stange no-one's done screenshots of that yet, but I play in lower than low res, if I upped it to hr I have a strange suspicion my laptop will catch fire (disabled warning beeps & auto shutdown for overclocking).

Hmmn. I think Ati & Nvidea were both waiting for eachother to release cards, so they could reverse engineer them and incorporate new features they hadn't thought of, or copy the card with an architectural equivalent of paraphrasing.
Release the better card and win a round/bankrupt a division.

Nice theory, but patents really shot you down there.

>>396289

If you can double the pixels and do anti-aliasing then isn't that just win win? Your LCD sounds like a real piece of shit if anti-aliasing is wasted on it. Maybe you should invest in lower settings. Taking screenshots of Doom3 with reduced mipmaps is pretty redundant when you have fully detailed mipmaps under anisotrophic filtering. Software mode = fail, point sampling = extra fail.

Maybe we just expected more scince this time the consoles weren't pfft PCs that ported some PC games and put out arcade style platformers. They were damn fine, the 360 anyway, and GRAW made a few eyes pop out and wander independently closer to the television.
ie: The 360 came out BETTER than existing PCs, better than Laptops for a whole 2 years, and who really has a 8800GTXm in their ultraportable custom everything machine ?

>>396292
I always use 8x Ansio and Quality with neg mipmaps, none of the optimisations becasue I can damn well tell the difference between bilinear and trilinear ect, I look for the flaws and I find them. Agreed 8xS + Supersampling is joy especially around fences, but not at it's cost.
I'm okay with point mipmaping, I look into the distance always, but not all games use it, it's good for coridors and interiors where you want to see the markings on the walls.

And I was talking about Crysis, massive result when switching from 0 to something insane. On Driv3r which I really wanted but failed to mod, it was a different game when textures kept their detail in the distance. Negative mipmaps is my favorite thing to apply to a port, I tend to notice the change, even when trilinear.

DX10 good for some things
>> Anonymous
>>396315
Yeah Unreal 3 engine is nice. The textures, especially the normal maps often seem a bit low res (console limited perhaps?) sometimes, although Bioshock more than makes up for it with atmosphere and those water effects!
>>396321
hmm. looks the same as DX9! apparently the water is slightly better as are the shadows - for a large performance hit !

OP again

I got a Quad Core Q9450 with XFX 260GTX XXX & 3 Gig ram, That's a fucking good computer. Cryengine 2 is just so fucked up when it comes to performance <-> Graphics.

Also; possible to get DirectX10 effects in bioshock on win XP?
>> Anonymous
     File :-(, x)
>>396325
No. It's not possible to get DX10 effects in Crysis in XP either. But they locked out the Very High effects for XP which are about 90% of the DX10 effect - probably M$ gave them some $ to keep those effectslocked to encourage a move to Vista - where you would have got a handful of FPS at launch on most available systems!
Not a very nice way to treat customers - I suppose that's what happens if you go into business with EA.
Patch 1.3? "oh no sorry we are going to make another game so we cant patch Crysis"

I have been a Crytek fan since I played FarCry but I find this attitude disgusting.

This site is great for knowledge on tweaking a game for performance / appearance:

I am not a newfag and I have been posting HIGH RES concept art while having a discussion about pretty games. Have fun trying to have a Crysis discussion on /v/. Last time I tried, almost a year ago, all I got was "why play that kraut piece of trash" etc. etc.
But e-peen extending "my PC pwns your PC" type of talk like>>396337doesn't help this discussion.

Maybe they think 4chan has a sort of game with its board naming. The board name means "Everything but [...]." So, /hr/ is "Everything but high resolution" and /v/ is "everything but video games." Unfortunately, this is true to some degree.
