New Crysis footage on G80 w/ DX10

Gameplay

I've recieved some exclusive videos (who knows how long they'll stay exclsuive for though) and information from what you could call "an inside man". Besides these being the first public videos of the G80 actually running a game ( as far as I know ) - These are also the first real-time DX10 Crysis videos. You read it here first :-)

This journalist who shall remain anonymous was not allowed to say too much, but he may have already breached his NDA by telling me about the G80. The NDA is lifted on the 8th of November, yet you are hearing and seeing this all now :-)

The videos were taken at a G80 presentation in Paris. When I asked for more information from mr.anonymous, he said the only thing else he could say was that the G80 will definately be worth buying. The same person also said he had a chat with the lead designer of Crysis who I believe is Bernd Diemer. Apparently, everyone there was drunk, so I'm sure there was some wild information flying around :-).

Below are the high quality videos from the event. The videos were taken with a still camera, but they're still pretty damn good. I've listed some of the things to look out for in each video.

Flythrough Video:

# At the end of the fly through, you'll see what appears to be an alien craft on the left..

# You'll see a shark at the beginning of the clip.

# You can see some of the shadows in the distance fade in. This is to improve performance.

# You'll notice in this video and in some others that.

# There's a lot of vegetation. Heaps of grass and plenty of interactive shrubs.

Gameplay Video:

# The seas and waves are all 3D.

# The trees have lovely transparent shading.

# You should notice in this video as well as some of the other videos that the windscreen of the car has glare and reflect the dashboard like in real-life. You'll notice many fine touches like that.

# The waters surface refracts the light on to the bottom of the ocean floor like in real-life. Another great touch.

# The HUD is blue and yellow instead of green which it has been in all the other videos. The color of the HUD my change depending on what MP team you are on.

# The characters shadow underneath the water is not animated? This will most likely be changed by the time of release.

all i have to say is wow :o

I downloaded and unzipped them both and it all went fine, but both videos stop playing after 35/40 seconds in WMP and and MPC fails to seek. No, it's nothing to do with the codecs I have installed etc.

Same, I need to get home and watch it in MPC instead of WMP.

Sounds sweet, the one major problem I got with the G80 (and any other Dx10 card for that matter) is naturally it'll be expensive to begin with, but then you gotta add the price of Vista on top of an already expensive card to be able to get the full potential out of it (i.e. if you want Crysis, GOW, Halo 2 etc running in Dx10 you need Vista) gonna be an expensive next few months for early adopters I think :p

We need to get PC gaming back at the top spot, Crysis is the game for that !!! FarCry was light years ahead of its time when it was released, this is shaping up to be the same.

Cant wait. :woot:

The vid's seem to stop after a short time, tried various video apps to run them with no luck, so tried converting them to AVI but stopped after around 20% saying it had finished..

So here are the mirrors for the 1st parts of each movie (untill somone can work out how to fix the rest)

now only 6meg in size! yey

Original links work if you are patient enough. Grab one at a time and "save link as". Also, if it times out, try again. Took me 3 times for the fly through to get it all and 2 for the in game...

Hope that helps...
