funny how a dev start shouting about a next gen feature!!!

i said 1600*900 not more, that's at least 15 fps gain.

 

That was a complaint about devs using brute force instead of optimising games, something that still happens.

Lying about requirements is stating the game can run ok on recommended hardware so they sell more copies.

This is beyond honest so people don't waste their money on something they cannot max at at high/res framerate.

 

I'm not saying that the game was fully intended to be a glorified tech demo. I was actually one of the few that loved the game and the franchise as a whole. I didn't sit back and cry that Crysis 2 graphics sucked. I enjoyed the game.

That said, it would be foolish to think that Crysis was made with the sole intention of being a game. It was a kill two birds with one stone type of deal for Crytek. Crysis and by extension Cry engine was meant as a feature showcase and benchmark for the future of gaming. Crytek obviously had licensing middle ware in mind, and was targeting being a main competitor against Unreal Engine 3 for this generation of games. They missed the mark though with some heavy hardware requirements. 10 year console cycles don't help this.

Doesn't change the fact that they have set some bars for image quality moving forward.

 

that it so true, so embarrassing

 

...dont say bad things about gtx8800! I have couple of 8800 Ultra's on my second pc over a 6 years now - they great and amazing! I can run Crysis2/3 on them very smoothly at 1080p and High settings with one exception, for smooth FPS transition - SSAO, GI = off in C3 - 40-60fps! If only they can handle dx11...

 

This is exactly how it was . I remember .

But the game looked incredible first sight on my 8800GTS, couldnt max it.
Many games that are today 2013... don't look better than Crysis maxed.

 

Hitman: Codename 47 had cloth and foliage physics in back in 2000.

 

Meh, most games have better interiors than Crysis.

 

True, most of the good looks in the original Crysis game are down to easy to make good looking location.

 

@ramthegamer: I'm sure there - EACH generation of low- to high-end videocards:

GeForce 8-series:
low-end: 8100 to 8400 GT
mid-end: 8500GT to 8600 GTS
high-end: 8800 GT(S/X) and Ultra
...
GF 200-series:
low-end: GT 210 to 220
mid-end: GT 240 to GTS 250
high-end: GTX 260-285 (dual-GPU 295)

GF 400-series:
...
high-end: GTX 460 to 480 (top-end is my! )

GF 500-series:
low-end: GT 510 to 540
mid-end: GTX 550 series to 560 non-Ti
high-end: GTX 560 Ti (normal and 448) to 580 (dual-GPU 590)
...

Do you understand well?

 

so...my gtx760 is "high-end", right?..lil brother of all of high-end series of 700, but still! ...my self-esteem rating just go up again!

 

No, high-end videocards are GTX 770, 780 and Titan only.

 

NOOooo! ...but wait, 760 performs better than 660-ti (in marketing way by NVIDIA, 660-ti = 760), closer to 670 and u put 260/460 on high-end sector - even for the logic rule, same goes for 760 ...and as for Titan - this is a boutique card...it's stays apart from 700 series

PS. NVIDIA GTX Titan - JAYZ RAGE :roll:

PPS. But personally, I think the "high-end" term only applies to top model (GX690, 8800Ultra, etc.) of any product - the rest, it's just for the consumer peace of mind and self-esteem...made by corps for only to a bs a consumer

 

Far Cry 2 has very good foliage. You can almost feel the leaves and grass as you crawl through the brush to recon an area and plan your assault. Sometimes a leaf would get in the way of the sniper scope forcing you to shift slightly.

In Far Cry 3 the foliage seems to be laid out on the ground in long rectangular sections that don't always fit the terrain properly and sometimes looking like a mattress made of grass rocking back and forth when disturbed.

 

if only it had better weapon models, the model are dated even by 2007 standard, even counter strike source has better weapon models.

 

lol why are you posting this? as if i don't know those lol.

 

yeah well those two games miss it when it comes to foliage destruction, tree falling down etc...that's what crysis made best.

 

i agree on the interiors, plus as i mentioned, i like weapon models, but crysis has ****ty weapon models, if anyone agree.

 

Yes I agree, that's something I noticed when I installed it a while back but didn't consciously note it was the bad weapon textures, just thought the game looked kinda old but yeah, it was mostly the weapons.
Crysis 3 on the other hand ..
