The most graphical game to date "Crysis" DVD9.
Now I know storage space is important, but more storage space does not equate to a better looking game. It depends on the game engine, not the storage media.
Thanks for being awsome about it qdog. Most of the time if I coment on something I get like 15 disagrees. +bubble
dosnt matter how optimised your code and shaders are, if you dont have enough memory to store all the textures its not going to help you any, you have to resize the textures to make them a smaller resolution, or compress them to some format that the graphics processor can handle natively.
And if you want to talk about procedural textures, those still need to be stored in memory after they are calculated, to be able to calculate these textures on the fly would be quite difficult...
I dont think you understood, its not necessarily the price.
I build my own PC not only due to the price,I get to pick out the quality hardware that I want, not what the manufacturer decides to throw in.
Besides this was an argument on being able to use the OS on non apple hardware without having to hack it.
I think Jrome had a good example, it was just a little backwards.
Instead its more like if you want to watch a channel on tv thats broadcast by ...
Holy crap, 240 stream processors, thats insane.
I dont think there is any game out or in the works that could make that thing flinch.
My 8800 GTS handles crysis fairly decently, it has 96.
Dont see how its biased.
"We get the best of both worlds"
Maybe id consider running OSX if I wasnt forced to run it on overpriced hardware.
Not really a fan of either formats, but I would say the onlything Bluray has going for it is larger capacity. Physically its superior, but software wise I would have to say that HD was superior.
Im just glad I waited before buying either player.
ummm... compression dosnt change the resolution the game runs at...
If anything they could have shrunk the resolutions of the textures (I doubt they did), but that has no effect on the game engine.
the models could be mapped with 16x16 textures and it wouldnt make a difference.
I loved those indiana jones games.
Lol, remember back in the day when copy protection was in the form of books or paper wheels...
What a pain.
Everytime I wanted to play a game "Enter the sixth word of the second paragraph on page 7 to continue."
I would have to agree with sidar and Iamtehpwn.
First of all this engine isnt supposed to compete with 360/ps3 visuals, its supposed to be able to produce similar effects that those systems can.
Also running at a resolution of 480p requires 1/3 of the power it takes for a 720P game.
Your argument really dosnt make sense. Pretty much all games are written exclusively for windows, how would writing them specifically for vista/DX10 make microsoft anymore of a monopoly?
And also when a developer writes a game exclusivly for your console of choice do you cry monopoly or rejoice knowing your game will be optomized for your system?
OMG!! my cordless phone runs at exactly 2.4Ghz too!! can it interface with the cell aswell!?
I agree, who is going to waste there time to annoy the minority?
As macs become more popular osx will develop just as many exploits as windows.
I dont really see what this has to do with gaming. I do find it funny though that the majority of the sony fans in here are quick to talk smack about windows just because its a microsoft product. Im sure a large majority of them are running some version of windows right now.
Im not too sure about macs, they run pre...
Im sorry, but whats the point of this review, why not just review a PS2 controler?
lol linux = tron.
Try to understand the difference between high settings and highest.
They are trying to run the game at like 2560X1600 16XAA and highest settings.
When it comes to the consoles it will be running at 720P max and somewhere around medium/high settings. Which is not bad at all.
Both versions are pretty much the same, only place where I really noticed a big difference was in the helicopter. (1:12)
At first I thought the 360 version was having shadowing problems, then the camera moved over and looked outside and I saw that the PS3 version didnt have any shadows on the city, and the framerate was pretty skippy.
Besides that though id say both games are identical, and if you were shown footage from both (not side by side) you wouldnt be able to eas...
are you unable to do the research on your own?

Its pretty much rays are sent from the camera to determine what path the light comming to the camera took.
This can be used to acuratly determine replection and refraction.
Procedual texturing is where the texture is generated from a series of commands.It has been used as compression, and has the app...
Thats sad, that was more tolerable last gen, but even then the cube was more powerfull than the ps2.
I know the wii is nowhere near a 360 or ps3, but I think devs need to stop treating the wii like its super weak.
after my "mandatory install" and "hell" of a decompression crysis comes out to a whopping 6.22GB
Still need 50GB for a game?
Unless you use a bunch of pre rendered cutscenes, or repeat textures and models per level (so you dont have to read from random spots on the disk) you dont need that much space.
