Hi-res Crysis DirectX 10 screenshots


Recommended Posts

I take it someone never played Far Cry. To say it was all graphics is silly if you ask me, but to each his own... I have no reason to see Crysis as anything different.

Because it was. It had crappy AI imo and a terrible and almost non existent storyline. Crytek even admitted as such and claim Crysis will be different.

Well the story sucked but the AI wasnt too bad really, especially since it was probably the first FPS to really tackle these sort of environments.

I guess I just found it to be extremly fun which in the end is what matters. Hopefully they work on the play balamncing too, those monsters were incredibly tough to take down and in packs your only option was to retreat while shooting more often than not. That level where you lost all your guns and went down the waterfall was absolutly crazy, took me so long to get past the first half of the map.

AFAIK, the reference rasterizer would not be able to run DX10 in realtime. These screenshots came from a realtime gameplay video. I also don't see any DX10 effects in these shots, if you do, can you point them out?

Crytek has said that minimum specs will be DX9 and shader model 2.0 and shader model 3.0 being mid-range. That means NV 6x and 7x series cards will be able to run it.

ummw ell tell crytek you see no DX10 effects at all . i bet they would really laugh at ya cause the whole point of crysis and the videos and the screenshots is showinf off what Directx 10 can do . volomic clouds / motion blur / and many otehr effects are Directx 10 based effects so Say agian ya dont see any directx 10 effects.

those are definitely off da chain! I wish i had something good to play games with but i hardly play games on the PC anymore... not since UT2004 came out.. lol... I just work on the PC and game on the xbox.

HDR and antialias cannot run side by side...those calculations are run at the some point in the render pipe and so cannot run at the same time...

I'm sure it would be implementation dependant. Source engine supports anti aliasing and HDR. I thought the real issue with both at once was the overhead involved since both HDR and AntiAliasing are pretty intensive.

Everything you see in that video can be done with DX9, DX10 isn't completed yet nor is there any hardware in working order for it outside of ATI's and Nvidia's labs.

perhaps you should check the video then. The effects look great in motion, especially the tree leaves moving.

Edit: I hope this is the right video. http://www.fileplanet.com/161952/160000/fi...%5BQuicktime%5D Theres a shaky cam one and a HD direct feed one. I appologise if this is the shaky cam version as it wont look so nice.

thanks, I lost the link and was trying to find it to post above. It is amazing and definetly a step above HL2. Hell, Hl2 wasnt remarkably superior to Farcry 1 which had the upper hand in several areas. No games matched HL2 yet IMHO in regards to facial animations but.

Why exactly are you all arguing over this being in dx9, you realise of course that pretty much everything dx10 can do can be done in dx9 its all about speed.

alot of dx9 stuff was possible in dx8.

Its all a matter of it being able to run speedily though.

That's actually pretty disappointing. HL2 looked better than that.

Considering DX10 is not even out and HL? was being made for a few years on DX 9 that had been out for years as well clearly shows your understanding of the situation. These are what you can call, "preview" shots of something in development that won't even be done for another 7 months, and that's pushing it.

If there was just a game with that first picture, sneaking round a jungle that dense and cool looking i could play it forever.

Farcry...those pics dont show off anything that wonderful....

:whistle:

downloading video...get back to you on if I think graphics are severly better...not that my opinion matters to yall lol.

    • Notion is shutting down its email client one year after launch by David Uzondu In April 2025, Notion launched Notion Mail, an AI-powered email client that acted as a customizable overlay for your existing accounts. Instead of replacing Gmail entirely, it reimagined how users interacted with their inboxes by offering features like intelligent auto-labeling alongside automated calendar scheduling. Now, a little over a year later, Notion has announced that it is shutting it all down on September 22. Since Notion Mail is a frontend client, most of your Gmail data will remain safe inside your Google account, but the company said that you must export stuff specific to Notion Mail, like snippets, custom auto-label instructions, email drafts, and scheduled drafts, before the deadline. Starting today, June 25, you can export that data directly from the app or the web interface, and this grace period will last all the way until September 21. Once September 22 arrives, Notion will permanently delete all unsaved local assets, including files you attached to snippets. Your existing database syncs and mail blocks will persist, though they will stop receiving new messages after the shutdown. Notion advises that if you or your company operate within a regulated environment, you must transition off earlier than the general shutdown date to maintain compliance. Companies that rely on HIPAA coverage face an even tighter timeline and must transition away from the platform by June 30th. Notion, in its X announcement post, basically said that it doesn't see the point of maintaining a standalone email client, especially when users have shifted their habits toward automation. The platform pointed to its Notion agents, which it claims "more than half of Notion Mail users" already employ to manage emails without ever opening an actual inbox, so it is "going all in" on using these agents to run your inbox. Notion introduced Notion Agents last September at the "Make With Notion" conference, giving users AI-powered digital assistants that can do stuff like run in the background on specific schedules (e.g., summarizing your daily open tasks every morning at 8 AM).
