Slowtrain Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 It wants me to register. bleah. ANyway, I am looking forward to seeing what Crysis has to offer when it ships. If crytek can take Far Cry and just make it a bit more interesting with a little character development and some inventory stuff, I would probably really enjoy it. I actually almost finished Far Cry which rarely happens to me with FPS games. So that's a big plus right there. Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names. It's a useful skill to have particularly where you aren't allowed to call people names. It's a mistake to get too drawn in/worked up. I mean it's not life or death, it's just two guys posting their thoughts on a message board. If it were personal or face to face all the usual restraints would be in place, and we would never have reached this place in the first place. Try to remember that.
metadigital Posted October 31, 2006 Author Posted October 31, 2006 upgradeable nanosuit that allows for RPG-like ability modification (in real time, and for any period of time, so dial up strength if you're out of ammo and bludgeon the enemy, or dial up speed and run away, or dial up amour and buy some extra time, etc) breather pack, gravity boots, exoskeleton, regeneration, and stealth options, etc etc; weapon is totally modable, and has some cool new Tactical Ammo ("Tac")ammo that has a delayed effect (for optimum stealth: shoot the grunt and watch him walk into cover and fall over, hidden) and incendiary rounds, etc enemies are North Coreans (first) and then Aliens (second). multiple paths to solve problems fully destructible environments (trees, vehicles that react to the placement of the shot: petrol tank, wheel, etc) OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
Darque Posted November 1, 2006 Posted November 1, 2006 And DX10 too! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> This game looked cool, until I read that. <_<
Sand Posted November 1, 2006 Posted November 1, 2006 For what they are putting into the game DX10 is really needed to pull it all off, unless you have some major DX9 hardware.

Kaftan Barlast Posted November 1, 2006 Posted November 1, 2006 What Ive seen of Crysis really made my jaw drop. It makes you wonder if its possible for ANY rig, even a Quad-Geforce8 to actually run it DISCLAIMER: Do not take what I write seriously unless it is clearly and in no uncertain terms, declared by me to be meant in a serious and non-humoristic manner. If there is no clear indication, asume the post is written in jest. This notification is meant very seriously and its purpouse is to avoid misunderstandings and the consequences thereof. Furthermore; I can not be held accountable for anything I write on these forums since the idea of taking serious responsability for my unserious actions, is an oxymoron in itself. Important: as the following sentence contains many naughty words I warn you not to read it under any circumstances; botty, knickers, wee, erogenous zone, psychiatrist, clitoris, stockings, bosom, poetry reading, dentist, fellatio and the department of agriculture.

Dark_Raven Posted November 1, 2006 Posted November 1, 2006 I don't like DX10. It means you MUST have Windows Vista, which means more hardware upgrades in the very near future. This is happening too fast for me to keep things up to date. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
Darque Posted November 1, 2006 Posted November 1, 2006 It's Microsoft's way of getting people to buy a new computer.
Spider Posted November 1, 2006 Posted November 1, 2006 A friend relayed to me a rumor that MS has changed their mind and that DX10 will actually be in SP3 as well. I have no idea whether or not that's the case, but it's a possibility at least.
Darque Posted November 1, 2006 Posted November 1, 2006 Wow, that would be awesome of them. Like awesome awesome.
Dark_Raven Posted November 1, 2006 Posted November 1, 2006 Old games can't play on DX10 thus being unplayable. DX10 is nothing like the former DX versions. From what I read in a magazine article about it. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
Sand Posted November 1, 2006 Posted November 1, 2006 A friend relayed to me a rumor that MS has changed their mind and that DX10 will actually be in SP3 as well. I have no idea whether or not that's the case, but it's a possibility at least. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Strictly a false rumor. It was circulating as DX 9.0L but in truth that is just a DirectX program that will make Vista run DX 9.0 software and hardware without the emulation.

From what I read in a magazine article about it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Nope. Games adhering to the old DirectX standards will be playable using the DirectX9.L; in other words: DirectX9.L will allow DirectX10 cards to run previous DirectX9 effects (and not vice versa), because DirectX10 is a complete re-write of the specification (not done since the invention of DirectX back in Windows95).

Darque Posted November 1, 2006 Posted November 1, 2006 In other words, older games will be playable. right?

Darque Posted November 2, 2006 Posted November 2, 2006 Whew. That's good to know. Of course it'll be years before I upgrade to a computer that'd run vista But at least those that do will still have access to their older games.
Morgoth Posted January 7, 2007 Posted January 7, 2007 Here's a new gameplay movie of CRYSIS. Click this Link! Jawdropping stuff I say! Also good to know it will run on DX9/WinXP Configs as well... I hope a X1950Pro will handle this monster...somehow. :'( Rain makes everything better.
Bokishi Posted January 7, 2007 Posted January 7, 2007 I hope a X1950Pro will handle this monster...somehow. :'( <{POST_SNAPBACK}> LOL no Current 3DMark
Morgoth Posted January 7, 2007 Posted January 7, 2007 I hope a X1950Pro will handle this monster...somehow. :'( <{POST_SNAPBACK}> LOL no <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No? Is there currently something better available from ATI than the X1950 Chip? Read this, you jerk: Here is a list of confirmed information... * Crysis will run on both DX9 & DX10 as well as Windows XP and Windows Vista. * A graphics card that supports Shader Model 2 or higher is required. * CryEngine2 is estimated to scale back 2 years, and scale ahead 1.5 years. * A single 7800GTX will run the game quite well on fairly high settings according to Crysis Art Director, Michael Khaimzon. * Jack Mamais of Crytek said in an exclusive Crysis-Online interview that his X1900XT runs the game very well at reasonably high settings ( still unoptmized ). * Crysis will dynamically utilize all processing threads available. Meaning quad-core processors will be supported. From here. It would be a pitty if only DX10/Vista owners could play it. A very expensive flop, to say at least. Rain makes everything better.
Bokishi Posted January 7, 2007 Posted January 7, 2007 It will run, but if you are hoping for settings similar to the vid (which I havent seen yet but I assume is running DX10) then no Current 3DMark
Morgoth Posted January 7, 2007 Posted January 7, 2007 I'm very happy with medium settings for the most part. Assuming that I play in 1024 res and switch off AA and HDR (which I always do), maybe it's even gonna be a med-high setting. That's totally fine. Rain makes everything better.
Cyric Posted January 7, 2007 Posted January 7, 2007 I hope a X1950Pro will handle this monster...somehow. :'( <{POST_SNAPBACK}> LOL no <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No?

Jeez. Bankai - "Zabimaru Howl !"
