New Crysis Video!!

Um, anyone looking to buy a slightly used BFG7900GTX? :p

I guess dual core and DX10 VGA is my next upgrade. I can save a bit since I am on a 939 board and AMD x2 cpu's are running pretty cheap right now. I will probably get the cpu frist and then wait(and save) a couple/few months to pick up a new video card. Probably until the first run DX10 cards take thier first price drop...April Fools day is my goal, meaning I will have to drool and envy all of you early adopters for a couple months! :(

Good things come to those who wait? Right? :p

So when are DX10 cards going to be out in force?
 
Not want to start a huge discussion about it again but I fukn hope there's no spyware in this game...

It looks awesome!

There's ton of spyware. All of his scopes and all are spyware all about stealth so says the posh brit guy lol
 
I'm pumped about the abilities and options they give you!

the suit! FREAKIN AWSOME

the weapon? FREAK AWSOME

Hopefully they make profiles for fast switching action in those dire times
 
Visuals looked great. If that was being rendered by the new Nvidia cards then they obviously don't have enough in them to play this first entry into DX10. Those framerates looked unplayable to me.
 
Doom 3 had unplayable framerates on Ultra quality when it came out. I remember that one had to wait for the 6800 series to arrive before you could play it with all the eye candy enabled and have decent framerates.

Big +1 Brother.

I had had to get out of Sportscars to feed my PC habbit... Damn Im a geek! :D
 
And for those of us who aren't upgrading to DX10, we'll have to wait and see how this thing is gonna run and look on our current beefy systems...*crosses fingers that his gto can keep up*
 
...as soon as I get this game I am just going to walk around like Russell Crowe in the Gladiator when he is holding out his hands walking thru that tall grass or wheat or whatever it was ... I'm a gonna get the freak on with some foliage ..

EA is only distributing it.
Crytek has enough clout, and EA hasn't been involved long enough, to screw this game over. :D

you do not know the power of the EA.
 
from all that i have read, it will take advantage of multi-core and 64bit, work of dx9 and dx10. all of the demos we have been seeing until recently have been on dx9. in fact, the E3 demos that we have all be drooling over for the past few months were run on two dx9 video cards (no idea which brand though).

the difference between dx9 and 10 will be noticable, i am sure. BUT, if this impresses you both versions probably will.

If my memory is correct, I think they were dual 7800GTX's.

All physics and AI are done on the CPU, and yes multicore will be utilized, but to what extent we do not yet know. It will work with DX9 and DX10. I have seen it run on both and NEITHER are going to be shabby. Hell, we loaded up FarCry on a quad SLI setup the other day and it looked better than most of the games I have seen in the last year and it is 3 years old....
 
All I can say is "bleh".

-Graphics: are nice.. yea, but im not going to drop $1400 on an SLI setup so I can run it at playable settings with all the eye candy. I imagine that the system reqirements have to be beefy because the video was under 30fps for sure.. I was getting seasick watching it.

-Physics: Whoopty doo.. Want physics? Fork out $20 and get HL2.

-Customizable weapons: Again, bleh.. Nothing new.



All in all IMO, its not going to be the fantastic game that everybody is waiting for. GREAT games are original and add something that other games could not. HL2 had graphics, storyline and physics. FEAR had graphics and an amazing plot.. making one of the first horror first person shooters. Even farcry had something original with its "your on a huge open island" theme going for it.. All I can see with Crysys is recycled stuff from older games.. nothing new and innovative.
 
I would suggest you never judge a game's fluidity or framerate from a video of it.
 
That game preview looked astonishing! Does anyone know what these devs are using to play these games when they are making these promo videos and such?? They obviously must be using pre-release versions of cards like the G80, right?

Previous posts have said that it was run on SLI 7800gtx's. I would take it with a grain of salt without a source though. I would hope it is a dx9 card running it just because it is more of current "real world" test. Not everybody will be able to afford an new card from the new dx10 lineup and it would be nice to play crysys with those kinds of graphics on a current gen card.

IMO just from the looks of it, I would guess that they had a dx10 card running it. The difference between graphic quality for dx9 and dx10 is astounding from what I have seen with Flight X. The graphics are too good for dx9 in the video imo.

is somewhere in all the e3 coverage this year, from gamespot i think.
 
I seem to remember the E3 demo running on X1900xt/crossfire setup, though my brain makes stuff up to make my life more exciting

Cevat Yerli CEO and President of Crytek said in an interview at E3 on G4 that their demos were running an FX-60 and dual x1900XTX's. Frame rates were an issue there, and there were rumours that they were emulating DX10.

So I am not sure what they could have been running here. There are multiple possible combinations.

I WAS interested until I saw EA. Anything EA has touched is not what it used to be. take for example westwood

If EA ends up putting smackware into crysis like their doing to bf2142 I'll hurt somebody.....seriously! :mad:

EDIT: And when the hell did EA end up getting involved with crysis? I thought ubisoft was distributing crytek stuff. :confused:

Ever tried playing F.E.A.R. on a DX8 card (my old 5500 for example) without forcing DX8? It didnt run so smooth...until i found out you could force DX8 :) That's probably why the frames were bad, trying to run it with DX10 while only using DX9 hardware...probably possible, but results wont be too good...I'm hoping that having it force DX9 will run good on current systems...
 
How much is vista again? $400.00 freaking dollars? Plus $700.00 for the video card and $50.00 for the game and oh oh lets not forget the extra 2 gigs of ram we're going to need. And also, I'm getting a 30" hi res lcd and umm what else?
OMG how much money am I going to end up spending for this game? :confused: :(
 
I only watched the first bit but what I saw has already been shown before and I'm sure it was running on x1900xtx crossfire......doesn't look any different from the last vid.

Impressive, but I don't think that is running in DX10, which makes it even better :D

EDIT - someone has already beaten me to it :cool:
 
DX10 is supposedly mostly performance advantages so I dunno why the actual image quality would be any different between DX10 and DX9. I'm hyped though for this game, I wish Crytek could sign up with Steam so that I could get the game through that and give more monies directly to the dev's because.... F*** EA, I don't want to giev a single cent to them.

I bought my 7900GTO and 19in LCD, so hopefully i'm ready to go. I purposely avoided the 20in widescreens so that my maximum res is 1280x1024. Since I cant run on a res higher than that I should be able to max options out while it being playable.

Windows XP SP2 + 7900GTO + DX9 + Crysis = teh win for me.

The reason is simple.
'Performance', when you talk about 3D stuff, is related to the ability to push data to the screen. The more data you can push (with DX10, it's cause of less overhead), the more detail you can create, therefore enhanced image quality.

There's also the fact that DX10 has effects that only it can create. These effects (better smoke, better shadows) relate to image quality as well.

Don't try and ease your conscience by saying "It won't be THAT great", cause chances are there will be a big difference when you see side-by-side screenshots.

QFT! I could run oblivion on my 5500 FX with 65+ fps! Using a mod called "oldblivion" which forced DX8 onto oblivion...and man did it ever look crappy. Just rendering it using DX8 and it looked like an entirely different game! No bloom, no HDR, it was garbage! I imagine the difference wont be quite so great between dx9 and dx10, but still...it will be substantial!
 
Those vids are running on an X-fire system emulating DX10 in software, this is why there are FPS issues, I read that they were running at 1027x768 .

You will need a DX10 card to get the IQ in the vids with playable frame rates, the game will be scalable to run on DX9 card with lowered features.
 
Plus they didn't get their mitts on Crytek until well into Crysis's dev cycle. There's not much they can do now except release bastardized versions on consoles :D

Hehehehe
Yeah, I run "F.E.A.R." on my 9700 Pro at 1920x1200.
Except it's a version called "slightly s.c.a.r.e.d." and it's DX 2 :D

Half Life 2 looked AWESOME in DX8 (on my old Geforce4 Ti4200). The only big difference between DX8 and DX9 in this game was the water reflections, and that's pretty much it. The same goes for Far Cry where Geforce FX cards are automatically reverted to DX8, but does not look much worse. Only the floor relections and mipmapping (specular lighting, etc..) looked more blocky and crappy.
