ATI Techdemo with far cry engine

i;ve started downloading. have u seen it? how about some comments?
 
Thanks. About to start watching it now...lets see what my ATI card will be able to do then! :dozey:
 
This demo is really awsome. You can press Spacebar and just look and zoom around in this movie. But at least a mid class computer system is recommend. My System is: Athlon Xp 1800, 768MB RAM and a Radeon 9600Pro. Sound sometimes stutters an you can see my FPS on the picture...

P.S.: Everything was done with cryengine[far cry patch1.3] and the sandbox editor.
 
i think my computer's life flashed before its eyes, it was running in black and white and i couldn;t gte more than 10 fps even when pausing the screen and looking at an area with almost 0 objects
 
How do you see FPS? Whats the command?

When i watched the video it ran smooth as butter *strokes x800pro* :D

Also it crashes when i turn 3dc on :(
 
press spacebar then you get a menu...then press I for infos with fps...or press w for wireframe...
P.S. The demo is developed or ATI-Cards, nVidia-User might get some probs with the water shader I dunno...
 
So.... what actually is it? does it run like 3dmark? or... is it playable?
 
It's like 3dMark, and omfg does this look good. I think i saw Doom III in the corner whimpering like a bitch.
 
Ye, I just ran it. I get approx 56fps all the way through. Pritty good really.

But the difference to 3DMark is that you can stop the demo and watch every scene with total free mouselook, ZoomIN/OUT, Wireframe-Mode...
Somebody is already working on a level with all the content of that techdemo. You can edit the techdemo level with the sandbox editor and use it for your own mods...
 
Do you need farcry the game innstalled to use the demo?
 
Nope.


This just reminded me of why I hated farcry. The plot was so stupid and took itself so seriously. That, and its just not fun fighting 13 foot RPG firing monsters who take 5 rockets to kill.

Just look at halflife2- a single shotgun blast could kill a soldier all the way through the game. Bad guys should be hard because they are smart, or well armed, or there are a lot of them. Not because you have to use 7 goddamn railgun rounds to kill anything.

It is just a techdemo so calm down ;).

The far cry plot was stupid, thats for sure, but it doesn´t took itself serious at all. The merchs made even jokes about themselves.
IMO Half life´s story is not much better, it could be stolen by the trivial doom story (experiments open a gate...) and the x-files (smoker aka G-Man), but it is presented much better.
To satisfy u, there will be no far cry II, crytek is just working on a complete new game and their design team got much bigger. So there might be a chance that story, atmosphere and the whole content design will be much better than in far cry, technicly it was jaw-dropping at any time.

The techdemo is just about the engine and you can see the awsome capabilities of the cryengine. IMO the best engine out there.
 
This is spectacular enough, but in motion it's something else entirely.

Still has that annoying sheen to everything, but there's certainly less of it now. :)
 
Getting now...and by the looks of the screens I'm guessing an average of 4 fps :p
 
It looks good in spots but whenever there is water in the scene it just doesn't look good at all. Maybe that's because I'm running it on a 6800 and not an ATI card. :O
I dunno.

Again, it looks more real...like real models. Still not like people. IMO
 
The water looks mint on my ATI x800...maybe its just the 6800 as this is an ATI whatever demo. :/

Oh and nice avatar of me :p...Edit/ ...or is that gordon photoshopped and just looks like AliG.

Yes thats because of your 6800, the new water shader is only designed for ATI-Cards. I hate those ****ing deals of game-developers and vga-manufacturers.
 
Well my prediction was close. 5 fps avg. I turned off AA and it hardly helped. Only in the sections that showed the 2 guys talking would it get above 10.
 
how big is the download?

:) it's taking awhile and won't tell me how long it'll take...
 
Mine is in black and white. I'm sure it's impressive, but you can hardly tell when it's in grainy black and white (exactly like the night vision from Far Cry).
 
Just saw it and damn it's good....there is one section where its black and white, it's ment to be, the rest is full colour and very good stuff, they could make damn good movies from it.
 
Pretty good. Some of the scenes look really good with all those post-processing effects applied.
 
Runs butter smooth and looks great - cant say Im really impressed though.

The models still look like they were made out of coloured glue and the blurring was too much.

Is the focus effect in Source?
 
wow .. ran suprisingly good.

some parts looked terrible, while others were amazing.
 
I was about to get it, then my download crashed :(

Starting over.....
 
Doesn't impress me, for a number of reasons.

The opening scene has too much glow.
The lab looked too much like plastic ala Doom 3.

But my biggest criticism are the character models for our heroes. The sailor and the girl are like plastic Barbie figures compared to the awesomely rendered bad guy and scientist. A complete opposite.
The water was terrible (compared to Half-Life 2). And the explosion at the end? Weak.
In all, if they were trying to impress the hardcore crowd, they should've done better for the end.

The demo played...ok. There was lots of jarring and stuttering.
P4 2.8 Ghz
512 MB RAM
ATI 9800 Pro.
 
Saw this vid while ago in low quality. Lets check it out on high :)
 
Why do i have cry vision on in the demo? Anyone know how to turn it off?

I dunno for sure but if you use a nvidia card, u might get some probs with this demo cause it is sponsored by ATI. Normaly u even cannot start nvidia-demos on ATI-cards.

I dont think its that because its not like a gfx problem. It has Cry Vision on.
