Crysis

Had the chance to play it at a friend's this weekend. Well, usually I do not really care about graphics even when they look like poop and I am rarely impressed but I've got to say it looks really, REALLY gorgeous. It plays nice also. Well I'm not that much interested in the game itself but I've got to admit that as far as the graphics is concerned it is absolutely beautiful. Unreal engine 3 gets fucked in the ass, big time.
 
Actually...i think this whole graphic thing about crysis was just hype !
I have a Core 2 duo e6600 and 2 gb Ram and a 8800 Ultra .
I set everything on highest on 1680x1050 resolution .the framerate was acceptable but the graphics aren't really THAT ground breaking .not everything looks pretty in the game.
btw...why does crytek ALWAYS make games in a fucking jungle/ paradise setting.it is like as if the whole fucking team had the dream to visit the caribbean in their childhood !

Because those settings are amongst the most graphically demanding to make, and Crytek is a technology/showcase company, I wouldn't call them a games company. I guess they made lots of money off Crysis though, so they probably don't care about making bad games.

But it was not as good as let’s say the AI in FEAR. That’s probably the best FPS-AI in a long time, and before that it was HL1. HL1 is still in the top until this day, kinda sad really :)
Except for Counter-Strike and a couple of other mods, HL1 is s**t.

Eh, we are talking about AI here. CS dont even have AI? Maybe some bots, but no one playes CS with bots...

Half-Life's AI ran on pre-defined scripts AFAIK.

Where do you draw the line between A.I. and script?

Isn't AI just a variable script?

The pre-scripts you talk about in HL1 is what made the enemy soldiers come into action, when the player triggered some script by moving past a certain point. But in what way they "choose" to attack you and in what way they "choose" to move isn't pre-defined script, not to mention they way they covered each other. That was the AI, but then again the AI consist of pre-defined scripts of how to act to different events/situations, but isn't that true for most AI in FPS games?

I'd say that a normal forest in Sweden/Finland would be extremely demanding on your system, if you included everything, instead of excluding small parts of the vegetation :P

If you walk in a jungle in Crysis and then in a real life on you'll notice the difference :mrgreen:
 
Just finished Crysis yesterday. 1280x1024, everything on Medium. Sometimes, the framerate dropped a little, but it was still acceptable.
I just wondered why Half-Life2 looked a lot better on my machine. (The water, especially) Isn't it supposed to be at least equal, given the fact that it needs hardware that is a lot more powerful?

I spent hours just cutting down trees with machine guns... :mrgreen:

Crysis is a decent shooter, but it can't hold a candle to Half-Life 2.

What? Half-Life is still one of the best games I ever played.

Y'know, some people can't apriciate HL1 because they missed it "back when it was new", and because they're not true gamers of course :roll:
 
Played it on a friends house , and the graphics are quite good... However i think that isn´t good as HL2 ones...
The game is quite exagerated... If it keep the scars, aks, snipers, smgs ect. it would be OK, but the gauss rifle and minigun shit :crazy:
Anyway, enjoyed playing and the weapon acessories are cool... Its cool to add a scope and a silencer to your scar (Its a M8, don´t?) and make some silent headshots :) .

You play a guy hunting mecha-organic aliens while wearing a crazy-ass suit that lets you jump 10m high and makes you invisible.
And you complain about the guns being unrealistic.
Yeah.
 
Is going bad to worse :crazy:
And it isn´t because they are unrealistic its because well huh... M8s, AKs, Miniguns and Gauss Rifles? Its worst than FO with G36s!
 
Ahh you know, the frankly disgusting amusement derived from gun-related ignorance. I first became aware of it in the flashpoint expansion red hammer, when the forums were littered with people chuntering at the fact that american soldiers used Gs36's (or what ever) in the 80s. Don't you think it's horrendously akin to the spotty, greasy basement urchin releasing a flemmy snicker, as he corrects some forum user's interpretation of what Picard was trying to do in Season 6 - Episode 9. You know what i'm talking about.
 
Crysis is a graphic show-off. The announcer voice saying MAAXIMMMUM STREEENGHT, the fact you're being a one man army, plus the aliens make it too childish (for kids) for me. I'm done playing such shit, I want something that demands more thinking or at least gives a cool story or characters....not mowing down trees and raming houses with a car.
