The physics are retarded. Have you seen that box video? If Crytek can tighten up their code a bit and get even 1/3rd of that shit running at decent speed on a dual core w/ 2gb of RAM, then hello true destructive environments. Hello maps that actually dynamically change based on the stuff that happens during the match. Man the skies the fucking limit.itxaka said:

why retarded?
It´s the better fucking physics i seen on a videogame. Of course they should clean and polish them (as seen on the videos) but man, they are aplying that physics to 3.000 to 10.000 objects. It´s impossible to move that with today computers *expects new-gen consoles to ship with a physix card*
Well, unlike most people who list components for a cheap, decent PC at least you acknowledge the lack of an OS, but I'd like a monitor too.i hate bees said:
They are 2 of the bigger fixed costs, because when I get a new rig I sure as hell ain't using the 7 year old shitty 17' CRT I'm using now. Some really good looking 19' widescreen LCD's out there for around $200 cdn now though, such a huge difference since even a few years ago.

I still say it can be done on consoles without much degrade.

Very true, but at minimum it dispels the TWO-THOUSAND DOLLAR PC nonsense that people who know nothing about the PC market is spewing.

I disagree, I've yet to see any other game that looks this natural. I know the theory only technically applies to humanoid characters but this game's environment crosses the whole "uncanny valley" barrier in leaps and bounds where I've yet to see another game come close.
Also, those shots aren't from the highest settings.

If you could take your eyes off of Crysis screenshots long enough to read the whole topic you would have seen that I was just pointing out how small the audience is for a game with requirements this high, but I guess I'll leave this circle jerk of a thread to the 1% of people out with pimp'd out computa rigz who seem to care more about graphics than gameplay. I just hope people with this attitude don't take the entire PC gaming industry down as well, because, as the numbers clearly show, it's really struggling right now.Mutagenic said:

Fair enough, but then when talking about getting a console people rarely factor in the cost of a TV/comfy coach

Holy wow is that statement wrong. What a terrible post. You should at least do some research before posting this kind of crock. The Orange Box games do scale. They go from looking barely good enough to get by, to looking like ass. Crysis on the other hand, looks GREAT on MEDIUM settings on a 7800GT. That's a <$150 video card. The Orange Box games look worse on this same card. So does UT3.SapientWolf said:
Crysis scales very well, it just happens to have its ceiling higher than most games.
Crysis looks gorgeous on my E6600, 7600gt rig with 1 gig of RAM. Looks better than any other game ever has on it.
edit: Also just read your post a few posts above this one...
Crysis has the best gameplay of any FPS released this year with the possible exception of Bioshock.
That includes the Orange Box.

Have you actually played Crysis? the game's no bimbo, it looks fantastic AND plays great, with a fantastic multiplayer to boot. Why do people seem to have this conception that games with great graphics are instantly going to be shallow?

well I bought a killer pc with a 24 inch dell ultrasharp widescreen to play crysis at 1920 X1200 on very high dx10 settings and it was like the best time I had in a long time playing a game, but then it ended and I have not played a PC game since Can't wait for the rest of the world to enjoy crysis someday so they too can appreciate it!
Already played world in conflict-great game, but nothiing else since then sparked my interest.
ACtually kinda bored right now and need games! I already played ME, cod4 (great on pc!), and all the other sweet titles lately, I may have to get some psp games or something to hold me over holiday.

And yet the Wii continues to get the hate rained upon it for being a last gen machine...
Seriously, I just upgraded my computer for the first time in about 4 years, spent about $900, and I can play Crysis silky smooth on high settings, fairly high rez. I don't have Vista, and don't plan to get it, but DX10 is not necessary by any means yet.
I have to say, this is one of the first game in a long time that has truly impressed me with its graphics alone. Gameplay is also good, but this really flexed
Yes, the market may be small for PC games right now, but I think that probably has more to do with people buying laptops and crap from dell instead of it truly being too expensive. It's still a great platform, and I hope that MS doesn't manage to fuck it up any more than they already have. Seriously, games for windows is a joke, and makes me hope the xbox continues to hemorrhage money just out of spite.
You have to give Cyrsis it's credit. It does blow away anything by a mile. Don't fool yourselves into thinking anything comes close. It doesn't. Form theories all day about what consoles could do but until I see a game like this on my 360 or PS3, I'm not a believer.
Having given it's due, Crysis runs like shit on even an a high end PC. My 8800GTX oc'd with a Q6600 at 3.4 with 4GB of RAM run it's like shit. This is on a Dell 2405FPW. I know "LOLZ! THAT'S 1920x1200! LOLZ!" So I hooked it up to my plasma at 1365x768. Guess what? with eye candy on, it still runs like shit! To the point, I played it for 30 mins and haven't touched it since.
I can appreciate the limits Crysis is pushing. I really can but if I can't make use of promises, then it's no good to me. Perhaps the next gen of high end GPU's will do to Crysis what the 8800GTX did to Oblivion. If that happens, I'll be the first to get one and play through it. Until then, I'll just look at the pretty pictures and play other games on the console.
I just hope no console game tries the Crysis route and go all out for presenation to the point that it performs like a pretty slidehow in action.

of course it sells terribly nobody can run it decently on a high setting only enthusiasts.
Though most can run at low settings the whole selling point of the game, the pre-release hype that is was the incredible graphics.
Personally I am still waiting until I can build a new game before I even think about touching it, preferably waiting until Geforce 9 series.

Oh sweet, the console port rumors are cropping back up:
The hiring of devs with console experience is for porting CryEngine to consoles. End.

I think all he wanted was some technical justification, especially since he knows you're precisely what you stated you were "someone who works in the industry" with an understanding of how these things go. You responded with "YES :lol " and you could've used your position and technical know-how to address his admittedly poorly-phrased, semi-trollish inquiry, but instead you responded "plastic cars confirmed" style. Obviously console games will look as good as Crysis does now, the question is when.

In a recent interview with Crytek, they said things had to be cut out, because they didn't know it was going to be this tough designing a game engine AND making the game.
So the last parts had to be rushed and things had to be cut out.
Here is the interview:

We won't see graphics like that this generation, but I think it's very possible for the next Sony or Microsoft console.
Someone pointed out that games are suffering from screen tearing at 30 fps. I tend to agree with this. So the answer is no. At least not for now.

YES
I knew you were cool even back in 1996 when I didn't even know you.
As for Crysis, the "LOLZ! Uncharted looks as good" fools can't comprehend Crysis glory and utter supremacy in GFX department just because... they didn't see it with their own eyes. Uncharted is the most impressive console looking game, I agree. But it's environments and trees, foliage etc. look fucking PLASTIC next to Crysis' almost real-life trees.
I mean this is supposed to be looking on par with Crysis?
GET A FUCKING PAIR OF GLASSES OR TWO
PLASTIC ALL AROUND ME!
