- Sykes, about Crysis 3

"Dirty screen" overlays and excessive sun glare seems to have been lifted from Frostbite, though. Or it's becoming a trend now, like water splat pixel shaders.

At least it makes sense in Crysis 3 (because of the nanosuit's helmet). It's definitely a trend though. Frostbite 2 had it first, then CryENGINE 3 and Unreal Engine 4.

"Maximum requirements!"

Oh well, they seem to have gotten back on the horse... I'll just run to the store for a GTX 680 or two. I'll be right back

[Draconian Guppy]

wow no backwards compatibility for DX10... yikes!

Now I have an excuse to buy a new PC... Now, if money grew on trees

[theyarecomingforyou]

Far Cry 3 has raised the graphical bar, so I'm really interested to see what Crysis 3 will be like. The gameplay videos are pretty impressive but the levels look very linear and quite constrained. Oh, and I really hope it's released on Steam.

Far Cry 3 in-game:

Commence with the "will it run Crysis 3?" jokes!

I commend developers for dropping DX9 support in their games but Crysis 3 is an exception. I really wish they added DX10 support from the get-go in CryENGINE 3. If the minimum requirement is DX11, then I won't be able to play it with my good ol' Radeon HD 4870.

CryEngine3 isn't DX11 only, since Crysis 2 is not even DX11 capable at all and it uses CryENGINE3.

Also I wonder if my newish Geforce GTX660 will be enough to play this at Max.

CryENGINE 3 isn't DX11-only but DX9 isn't listed in the minimum requirements for Crysis 3. Also, the alpha test for Crysis 3 doesn't support DX9. I don't know when the beta will start but if it doesn't support DX9 too then it most likely won't be in the final release.

Well ok. I'm only saying before now it wasn't DX11 only.

Crysis 3′s advanced graphics settings revealed, high-res textures at launch confirmed



Following reveal of Crysis 3′s system requirements over the weekend, I’ve received confirmation from EA and Crytek of which precious secondary settings we’ll be able to tweak in the game. If you remember, Crysis 2 launched with an anemic four tweakable options: v-sync, game resolution, HUD bobbing, and a general quality setting. A patch after release expanded these, and fan-made utilities helped out, but the good news is that EA and Crytek aren’t shipping Crysis 3 in the same state.

Here’s what you’ll see if you click on “Advanced Graphics Options” in Crysis 3.

• Game Effects
  
• Object
  
• Particles
  
• Post Processing
  
• Shading
  
• Shadows
  
• Water
  
• Anisotropic Filtering
  
• Texture Resolution
  
• Motion Blur Amount
  
• Lens Flares

It would've have been a damn shame if Crytek didn't learn from Crysis 2. I'm glad the PC version isn't being ignored at launch this time around.

Not to mention this isn't about the engine, this is about Crysis 3, which certainly looks to be DX11 only.

[Muhammad Farrukh]

An upgrade was looong due. I just got a better reason.

Oh yea I forgot about that patch. Also, it was Anaron who brought up the engine bits, I was just correcting it.

Sure, mate. There isn't a better way to get hands clean than move the stuff over the border
