Fixed your link.

those new pics suck

 

[TCfromBN]

Thanks, didn't catch that. But yeah their not too impresive. I was more hyped about the news, that having dx10 would enable way more realistic effects.

 

[schoppi]

Those screens really suck...but just look at the videos and you know how great it will be. The jungle combat looks so awesome and it is 100% ingame. You actually can play those combats on e3. You just have to go to LA.

ROTFL..
Are the guys at IGN fools?
"What Crytek has done with CryEngine 2 can only be pulled off with the next-gen technology for the PC and those with high-end machines when the game releases are in for a treat. For reference, the gameplay demo we were shown was running on an X1900 (not dual) so there is hope for us all this Winter. We just have to put our hopes in Microsoft that they release DirectX 10 sometime soon following Crysis."

I mean, for a first, CryTek has said they've designed the CryEngine 2 to be fully compatible with the PS3 and XB360 hardware and be able to run without problems on that(I'm not saying they're gonna port, because as of right now they aren't, but seeing as EA are publishing and partly funding the game, it's only a matter of time, look at The Sims 2 for the consoles ) and for a second, everyone and their grandma knows that DirectX 10 is Windows Vista exclusive, meaning that we won't get DirectX 10 unless we get Windows Vista..
Gah, foolish journalists like this one PISS. ME. OFF!>_<

All videos show all screenshots shown are dx9. Very good interview btw. CryTek is surly one of my Fav companies.

Just because it can be run on a console doesnt mean it will look as good. The 360 and PS3 have basic dx10 EFFECTS thats all. So it all depends on how much dx10 Crysis uses is.

 

[Gargantou]

Raziel.. You are aware that the XB1 is running on a DX7-based API/GPU? Yet it looks like DX9 imo, with low resolution ofcourse but still.. I'm pretty sure it can look as good if it's optimized well enough.
Also, I quote Microsoft about the 360.

"support for future Windows Graphics Foundation 2.0 shader models"

If you don't know what WGF2.0 is, here is a copy.

"Recently Microsoft announced that Direct3D will return to the DirectX name and WGF 2.0 (Direct3D 10) will be known as DirectX 10."

I know I sound like a fanboy now but seriously, if the XB1 can do normalmapping and several other shader functions on DX7, imagine what the 360 can do on DX9.. Not to mention the previous, the 360 GPU is designed to be able to take advantage of DX10.

Btw, afaik, the PS3 doesn't have DX10 effects in it, seeing as it doesn't use DirectX iirc..

 

[VictimOfScience]

Ugh...well, hopefully it will come out later rather than sooner so I can save even more for a PPU and new GPU....

 

[Asknoone]

Meh. Still not interested.

 

[clarky003]

why link the worst and most bland pic? lol, the restricted FOV down a scope never makes for good screenies. This is more like it...

looking sechs, If I can act out the gattling gun scene from predator (or just the possibility of a good predator mod) that alone would make my pants shrink.

 

[DiSTuRbEd]

I cannot believe people like the company after they flaked off FarCry, tbh it may have sucked but its no reason to blow off the game and kill the community. If they back Crysis I might like them again.

 

[Asknoone]

Crytek are meh. Whee, lets give patch releases 6 month gaps! :|

Uhh no, PS3 is Open Gl therefor it's a completely different API. 360 has an upgraded DX9.
Though I do agree that to make a game look as good as a DX10 game they will have to spend more time coding, optimizing, and coding to get the same effects at the same speeds.

I know I sound like a fanboy now but seriously, if the XB1 can do normalmapping and several other shader functions on DX7, imagine what the 360 can do on DX9.. Not to mention the previous, the 360 GPU is designed to be able to take advantage of DX10

The thing is that it is harder on the developer to code that stuff in. You also have to remember the difference between Dx9 and Dx10 is ****ing insane. The 360's version of Dx9 has some Dx10 features but most of the major features I believe are still being worked on therefor could have not been included or only partially included.

In the end I would agree with you that the consoles have the power to do these effects.

 

[Ren.182]

I think they look very nice. Looking forward to this, should be fun

 

[clarky003]

If anyone hasn't watched the interview on IGN, do it. It sounds orgasmic. They are including a BF 1942 like mod, Americans Vs Koreans 'power struggle' type game.

 

[Sparta]

This game is looking less and less impressive everytime i see it. It looks good but they better watch out with the hype they're generating.

Seriously this game will deff be one of the best.

 

[P43.2/1Gig/X800P]

Seriously this game will deff be one of the best.

after those screenshots i dont think so. I could be wrong. Is it me or did the graphics just take a step back.

 

[Gargantou]

Wow P43.2/1Gig/X800P..
It's all about the graphics for you eh?

Well Microsoft stated the 360 GPU is a mixbreed of DX9 and DX10 but indeed, some or most of the major features might be amiss.. But seeing as the GPU in the 360 according to Microsoft is designed to be able to take advantage of FUTURE DX10 shaders etc, it sounds to me as if they designed it to be able to take advantage of DX10 as soon as it's out etc
We'll just have to wait and see though, it'll be interesting IF EA forces CryTek to do a Crysis for the consoles, so we can compare the DX10 vers on maxed and the X360/PS3

 

[Garfield_]

How can you say that those screens don't look good?
Personally I think those look incredibly realistic, and I can't even imagine how cool they would look with some anti-alias on. Every news about Crytek or Crysis makes my pants wet

This game is the thing I'm looking forward, before everything else too =>

 

[TCfromBN]

I think that all of their media releases are amazing. TBH its probably the best looking pc fps in terms of realism. Remember, over 6 months till release and this dx9.

 

[Asuka]

Screenshots dont compare to movies. Every movie is insane most screenshots are insane. THIS IS STILL DX9! This isnt even you playing!

Exactly

Hopefully there are no new games with better graphics announched before Crysis is released.

 

[Iced_Eagle]

Everything we've seen so far is DX9, according to them... DX10 won't bring around huge graphical differences (one example they used was that in the DX10 version, the monster at the end will make the smoke and fire react to it's scream and flow away from it...)

There will always be bad screenshots released, and some of these may be bad, either that or some of the original hype is starting to wear off.

 

[Insano]

Not for Crytek, but I do hope that there comes a new wave of nextgen titles.

I have difficulties to hear and understand what he is saying :O

 

[clarky003]

He is German yah, He blends his words together.. Still one of the coolest devs I've seen, looks like an action hero <3

 

[Asuka]

Haha! True. What i found very cool is how laid back he was about everything and how well he explained his goals and game features, and he admit to the bad things in FarCry and how they are trying to improve on them. Really cool.:farmer:

 

[TCfromBN]

Didn't watch all of the interview, just skipped to the ingame footage :naughty: , but meh... wasn't too much of it :flame: . But it seems like good things are headed this way.
