New crysis video!

[Onion]

Someone told me that you'll need Windows Vista and Directx 10 to play it. True?

I have heard the same thing, but if it really happens, it will prove to be quite unpopular.

He is just "encouraging" people to upgrade

 

[myzko]

Hey, it's exactly the same thing with the Xbox, everyone thought that Halo would be released to PC's first, but later on Microsoft bought them over to the Xbox... So all Gamers had to buy a Xbox

It will actually infact be playable on Dx9 tech and that Dx10 will just have added features and with improved FPS or so is said.....

Crysis: new screenshots and preview

Everything you've seen has been running on DX9 and normal hardware you can get in the shops right now. It's all normal spec and doesn't even use a dual processor or anything like that, we don't have any special graphical hardware inside these boxes. However, with DX10 and a dual core CPU, you're going to see something very special indeed.

When we compare Far Cry to Crysis we're talking about two to three levels better in terms of generations, but if you compare DX 9 to DX10 it's at least a generation better, so there's a tangible difference, visually as well as from the intensity.

The game is currently set for a Q1 2007 release, which means somewhere between 1 January and 31 March, though Crytek has said they do not have to wait for Vista, which won't be available to consumers until January anyway. It seems that while DX10 will add Shader Model 4 effects (assuming you have the next next-generation ATI or NVIDIA hardware that supports it), it won't be a requirement.

As for the game, I'm put off for now until I see how the gameplay actually is and not just a graphics game like Far Cry that bore me to death after ten minutes of play after gunning down enemy after enemy...

Absolutly stunning.
The interaction with the environment looks very real.
One thing that feels a bit over the top is the breaking of trees. Do these really break so easily when firing into them ? Apart from that: very promissing.

Aliens immediately equals "unrealistic"? Turn your computer off and read Starship Troopers ffs.

"Technology is wasted on the young and stupid" or something like that. It's always cutting edge engines with the same old BS gameplay a 9 year old would conjure up. Yeah someone make an arcade shooter where 1 guy decimates an entire force of half retarded enemies with the latest high tech weaponry. Pretty please, there's a major shortage of those games we desperately need more ASAP!!!!..... OR you could make a REALISTIC game WITH the latest cutting edge engine and have something that would be utterly astonishing in its mimickry of reality. But no, Let's continue to take the low road of pandering to 10 year old kids with ADD and the brainpower of a stoned hamster and their mommies purses. A big WHATEVER! is all I can conclude.

...realistic? Please explain this "realism" you speak of.

 

[Erich]

get it not for the story line or play type but for the engine and mod possibilities, i mean just think of a ROish style game on that engine. I mean Unreal tournament wasnt realistic and look what it birthed(RO)

 

[Quietus]

...realistic? Please explain this "realism" you speak of.

You know stuff like ONE GUY NOT being able to single handedly take down an entire division of hapless well equiped techno-mercenaries. Or NOT being able to punch a building to pieces, HEALTH powerups, RADAR, BBgun recoil, crosshairs, unrealistic abilities etc etc etc. The concept is about as stale as a 20 year old loaf of bread.

But its a very appetising looking loaf of bread

Did you get a leaked copy of the Crysis dev document? Where is your evidence in support of these assertions?

Also, you can't use the word "unrealistic" in a definition of Realism.

bullets that hit them, but are so "small" the people dont feel them, then when activated send them instantly to sleep. YEAH!! AWESOME!! PWNAGE!!

 

[2ltben]

True, SOAD. I propose that ROO be shipped with a large Hungarian man that punches you in the face every time you get shot ingame.

 

[Rilcon]

I found it horribly cruel how the dev just offed those two fellows in thier sleep. I mean, jeeze, so damn cheap there, mate.

I'm hoping the game will have an 'insane' difficulty level like Far Cry's Realistic, getting killed in one or two shots is my sick definition of fun for most FPSs.

 

[Xendance]

I hope that there will be a mod that removes crosshairs and adds iron sights for every weapon
Freeaim would be nice too.

 

[myzko]

for singleplayer games I like arcade realism, + the multiplayer could be fun.

Authentic Aesthetics, Mechanics, and Narrative. Not "realism".
