During his review of Crysis on PC, Gameplayer writer Ben Mansill goes into detail about the difference in playing the game between DX9 and DX10 - as you can tell from the quote, it's not great news.
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?"
HAHA ........(no comment)
Crysis is a hundred bucks in AU??
can't even run it on full effects w/ DX10 yet his trying to compare?
Pretty negative review for a 10/10.
Yes, I have Crysis and you know what, I thought I had a computer that would handled very nicely! But since I am running Vista, this has proven to be very wrong.
My current setup is very nice to say the least.
Custom built,
QuadCore
2g ram
500g hd
TWO 8800gts 640mb cards
Dual monitor set up, but under sli, one 22" Chimei monitor.
This game may be something sweet under XP, but under Vista, it is almost pointless to run it. If you are anything like me, graphics mean everything. I don't want to play this game if it is going to look....just ok!
I have been able to play the game on high settings at 1440 x something something.
It plays fairly at this level, of course with no AA on! Turn this on and it will chug!
I have seriously thought about dual booting xp so I can run this game nicely.
Vista is not a gaming OS, not now anyways! Once there is hardware about 2x better than what is out now, the games will be able to reach the same level of performance that XP gives us.
This really is a bummer though. I like Vista, as I use it on my desktops, my laptops and so on. It is not for gamers but for people who are running less demanding apps.
As for the Game of Crysis, what I have played is freaking awesome! Shooting down trees is a blast! There are a lot of touches that I love about this game.
The Koren fighter jets flying around, the nice touches that really make this shine. Turn on the strength and punch a wall down. The physics are awesome. Blow up a building and the building will fall. Knock down the walls and the build will collapse! Freaking awesome.
The Story is pretty darn awesome as well. I am only a few levels in right now but I fell like I am playing a game of Predator (Arnold = Freaking awesome)!
Just one mans opinion. I may have to pop in another drive and do some dual booting!
