Crysis (CryEngine 2) GDC 2006 Video

wow, MUCH higher res than the shakycam of the same video a week or two ago.

This game is gonna be so sweet...
 
You see the way the trees broke when shot, now that is awesome. Can't wait, computer says noooooo...

I sense an upgrade.
 
Wonder what they're running this on. This game is supposed to support DX10 is it not? Wonder if they're using DX10 for this.

Games on the PC are about to take a leap forward.
 
Nope its Direct X 10. So we wont be able to run this until Vista. But man that engine is going to rock.
 
great, im looking at a game that i cant play. whoopty fuckin do..

99% sure everything in that clip is done on DX 9 tech

No it isnt. When Crysis was announce they said its going to be using the new Direct X 10 shaders. They said it would come out this fall, but since Vista sounds like now its early 2007, it wont come out till then.
 
regardless of all the tech talk.. the game looks spectacular.... this and cell factor are 2 games that are gonna look beautifull

Just because they announced it doesn't mean it's being used in that clip. But it very well could be DX10, if you can see those transparent leaves I think that is a dx10 feature. I'm dl'ing it now. Ok yeah, looks like DX10.
 
Definately awesome... looks like they are using DX10 alpha. The only thing that bothers me a bit is the LOD snapping, but I trust they will get that worked out, very impressive nonetheless.
 
it'll run on SM2.0 cards. Don't abandon your old machines just yet.

I don't think those vids were running on DX10 cards, I'd be very suprised if any was available for developers at this time. Far more likely it was on existing DX9 hardware, or rendered in software (eg not in realtime)

Really? So nvidia/ati already has the r600/g80 card up and running and playing demos?

If it truely is going to utilize Direct X 10 shaders wouldnt they need some hardware to test it on? That would mean some samples of G80 and R600 and probably using the Vista Beta... Right?

I've seen these crysis demos months ago, to think someone had a dx10 gpu up and running then seems unlikely. But i guess we'd never know.
 
I'm not sayin specifically that this demo was run on ATI's or NV's next gen, but to think that NV and ATI don't have working next gen GPUs that can accelerate 3D by now is a bit short sighted.
 
Hmm, I figured it was in some SLI setup.

Anyway this vid is a couple weeks old..pretty much the best way I can put it is that it probably dethroned UE3 as the "best graphics in the world". Which is a lofty title.
 
To be fair Tomb Raider Legends has those options demonstrated in the video (bar the volumetric clouds), lets hope that it's programmed better than trl tho :rolleyes:
 
This new engine would be terrific to make a game Predator 2 because the level of detail in the jungle would be superb.
 
It's both DX 10 and 9. It's probably running in 9 now, because of the lack of DX 10 hard ware. If it is running in DX 10 it's probably been pre rendered with the CPU. (in the engine of course)

LOL that is the first thing that came to mind, cant wait for another AVP game. If it was using this engine it would be amazing. Also any word on the PPU with this game?
 
This video has been shown in the games section for a while...
As I stated in there.... there will be a playable demo at E3 THIS year
so either they are emulating dx10 (hefty perf. penalty?) or it is dx 9...

care to put your thoughts in brent? :confused:
 
Can someone put this video on a FTP for me to get to? I can't download it at work but I just gotta see it and I still have 4 more hours of being here! PM me with details if you can do this for me. Thanks

It is DX9 hardware with a DX10 emulator. Microsoft doesn't have any DX10 hardware, and only use the DX10 SDK with software emulation. That's what the big money uses, so I'm guessing the smaller developers are also in the same predicament.

I get my information from the avsim FSX forums. It's been discussed. FSX may have a DX10 version, if they can get their hands on some actual hardware!

This looks A W E S O M E ! ! ! ! ! ! The jungle scene looks amazing. With a critical eye, I can see mistakes. But, if I'm playing a game and not nitpicking then I wouldn't. It's brilliant. I plan on buying Crysis when it is released.

No word on the PPU at this time? It looks like it would be an ideal game to take advantage of it!

brent is still looking, afaik.

i dunno why agiea would be tight lipped about such an app.

wow I'm not the only person that was thinking about that I guess! Oh man don't get me started on avp! The marine portion of that game was so awesome, and imagine if the pred part could have been done in that engine uunnnhhhhh
