According to Crytek CEO Cevat Yerli, Crysis is like the gal that guys love to look at, only her Mensa score complements her measurements. While neither beauty and brains nor graphics and gameplay are negatively related --where the one necessarily suffers if the other soars -- Yerli's point is plain: "Don't hate our game because it's gorgeous." It is a bit messier than that, though not by much.
A Crysis VR mod is now available for download, allowing users to experience the first entry in the series in VR
No one cares. The whole can it run Crysis is old, dead and stupid. It's also irrelevant, considering only less than one percent of pc owners, own a high-end PC. Second, I believe Crysis wasn't even optimized properly.
Let's hope the modders can get the other Crysis games working in VR as they use the same Cryengine.
GF365: "There are some games with extraordinary visuals that impress us to this day. Here are old games with outstanding graphics."
Same as Killzone 2 and 3, uncharted 2 and 3, Infamous 2, Heavy Rain, Resistance 3
I wish this was entirely true, but you might want to load up Killzone 2 and Resistance 3 again.
@jason I watched some gameplay videos of KZ2 and R3 on my full screen. They are on par or succeed graphically to the first person shooters mentioned in the article that also launched on the seventh generation of consoles. Try the same and see what you think
Killzone 3 was super impressive! I could not believe the graphics back then as I was regularly pausing the game to stand in awe looking at the surroundings! Resistance however did not impress me that much. Heavy rain is also another amazing graphically speaking game. It almost felt next gen
I always thought the first 3 Gears of War games looked great and still hold up for today.
They did for their day. I recently played gears judgement with on the 360 and the draw distance was so blurry. The characters up close look great though
Far Cry 2 was awesome. In addition to having demonstrably better physics and AI than later games in the series, it had a lot of design decisions that, criticized at the time, have since been praised in games like BOTW and Dark Souls.
It might not be super amazing by today's standard but I thought Mgs3 looked really good
Digital Foundry: "When Alex Battaglia got his hands on a Steam Deck, this was inevitable, right? So can the Steam Deck really run Crysis? And if so, what type of optimised settings produce the best performance? What's the best balance of features and battery life... and what about 60fps?"
whats up with 1UP and their crazy scores? 7/10 for Assassin's Creed(wtf?!) and now this. going thru PMS I guess
8/10 from 1UP, gues they must not of liked it as much as everyone else.
I can see it already 6.5 for UNCHARTED..they'll probably give NFS an 8.5
8/10 seems to be an appropriate score. It's a VERY gorgeous game but gameplay wise it doesn't bring much new to the table. Had Crytek not done a lot of this in Farcry it probably would have had a bigger impact. Since the genre is so saturated it's kind of hard to rate FPS's strictly on their own merits without comparing it to similar games, or even prior games from the developers. It'll be entertaining though, the open ended environments are a welcome change from the claustrophobic corridor crawls we so often get. I also heard the story gets pretty good later on so we'll see.
Also after checking the Gametrailers Assassin's Creed HD review, I can say that 7/10 might not be too far off either. I'll wait until I complete it to make my final judgment but the AI I saw displayed there deserves some demerits from the overall score alone. I've wanted AC for a very LONG time so regardless I'm buying the game but damn man.
I dont know, tried teh MP beta and my following system:
C2D E6600 2.4 o/c 3.5ghz
2 x 1gb 800 Mhz DDR2 dual channel
XFX 7950GX2 Single SLI 1GB RAM VGA 598/1400 o/cd
rest dont need to mention
give me freaking 15-20 fps with all settings to medium and no AA or AF. WTF is with this crap game? In BF2142 with all settings very High and 2xAA i'm getting 90-100fps. Also there are lots of yellowish flickering happening while textures load in crysis. I've tried both the 163.x and the earlier nvidia drivers.
Even tried on my other o/s Vista Ultimate but the performance suks big time.
Will try to d/l the SP demo and see if the performance is better otherwise its a no no for me.
Edit: Thanks Darth i was quite disappointed with the MP beta. My 19" monitor is ws so my rez is 1440x900. Will give the SP a shot.
