Crysis Mp Beta Out!!! No Kidding.

thats what i thought, until it asked me to upgrade my account to a founders account for 20 bucks more

 

wow ,that looks totally crap .FarCry or Battlefield 2 maxed out looks a lot better.
Why the hell I don't see jungle in the distance on those mountains. And that water from distance looks like something from N64. uke3:
Very disappointed...

 

i know, they got us good

 

Wow.. you have absolutely no idea of what it takes to develop an entire game..

 

dude.... read. Beta.... not complete/final product. Multiplayer... tends to not look QUITE as good as single player due to processing power required for everything. and the key point.... NOT DX10!! the hella-long view distance is a DX10 feature. DX9 with that crap and it'd probably be at a standstill.

 

yeah i remember playing Graw 2 beta it was crap, then the real demo look alot better.

 

Like...holy dissapointment batman...Quake Wars looks better than this. I mean I understand its a "Beta" and you cant use Very High graphics but ehh im confused.

Graphics toned down for MP or not...IMO I'll stick with Quake Wars for MP...

 

You just got to hope for the best.. :/

I'm waiting for someone to say after playing this Crysis Beta Demo, "Well I did save some money on my car insurance by switching to Geico". lol.

Mike.

 

i can't stand people like you two.

you said it was DX9 right? DX9 MP will not support destrucible environments...only DX10. there will be separate servers.

 

Me too it doesn't look as good as the screenshots I have seen ()_() !!
the only thing that is special here is the water!!

 

I just knew i would cop it for that comment (sigh)
What i was trying to say was A) it looks good (which it does)
B) dont cry about the graphics..its a BETA FFS!! (and a multiplayer one at that!!)

Like Mr Worth said.."nothing is destroyable. you cant move nothing but the vehicles. trees bushes dont move when shot at or brushed against." so it is pretty clear that a lot of the standard in-game features are not implemented in this version (which im sure includes many graphic related ones)
Dont stress the gold version will be mint


@Amoured..the single player DX9 will still support the destructible enviros yes??

 

destructible environments:

DX9 SP - yes
DX9 MP - no
DX10 SP - yes
DX10 MP - yes

 

thecake: again.... it's limited to DX9.... plus it apparently has no moving vegitation or anything, plus it's a beta, plus they're SCREENSHOTS!

If one of the things you're talking about is the draw distance.... as i said... that's a DX10 feature ONLY! go watch some of the developer interviews where they go over the technology of the game engine. they specifically say that... and even show you the difference in view distance between DX9 and DX10. it's gigantic. can see like.... the whole freakin island.

DX10 adds a lot of the effects that make the game look a lot more real.... and a lot more detailed.... and a lot more beautiful.

 

well to be honest after playing it for a while longer the game does start to look alot better. its DX9, beta and all settings arent even maxed. only on high.. Still has very high for all settings... Im guessing this was a tease for us that is why they only included DX9 and high settings only. game runs @ 30-35fps on a stock q6600 and single 8800gtx stock 8xaa 16xaf 1680x1050 high settings.

 

Cheers..thanks man

 

yeh i can't believe alot of people don't think there is a large difference between crysis DX9 and DX10. there is! crysis DX9 just looks like any other game, but DX10 is twice as better...everything just blends into the environment and everything feels very natural.

 

that makes no sense.

then dx9 can't play against dx10?

 

erm when did it started wtf, damn why did i go to bed without checking forums now i missed Batch 1, when will batch 2 start? any ideas when?

 

No, it was expected (NVIDIA 163.67).

 

Armoured, I was going to ask the physics question, but thanks for the info.

^_^

Now this is definitely someone who doesn't have a clue. I built small games for my second year CIS programming course, and believe me. EVERYTHING must be tested. Doesn't mater the originality, its a program, and programs have to be debugged.

Honestly? The game doesn't look that bad. That looks like DX9 and the scale blows me away. Now the previous screens posted from ign were target renders, and we seeing the proof.But it doesn't mean that the game isn't a piece of art.
