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.

    • Limited time Prime Day deal cuts price of this Hisense 65" 4K smart TV in half by Ivan Jenic It’s Amazon Prime Day, and brands are offering great deals to consumers. One of the best deals of the day is definitely this Hisense 65" U7, which is currently $799.99 on Amazon, down from $1,499.99. That's nearly 50% off and $700 saved on this feature-packed 4K TV (purchase link down below). The U7 uses Mini-LED backlighting with up to 3,000 local dimming zones and up to 3,000 nits of peak brightness. That means blacks are truly deep and highlights are punchy enough to hold up even in bright rooms. The screen is covered with a dual-layer anti-reflection coating, which prevents the afternoon overhead lights from washing the picture. For gaming, the native 165Hz refresh rate and VRR 330 support make this one a great TV option for PS5 and Xbox Series X. The TV even features a native game mode, which should help minimize the input lag for a better gaming experience. Audio is handled by a 2.1.2 channel system tuned by Devialet, which is a notable partnership for a TV at this price. Additionally, Dolby Vision IQ, Dolby Atmos, and IMAX Enhanced are all supported. It runs Fire TV with Alexa+ built in. So, if you’re looking for a sharp, large screen to watch the World Cup on, the U7 at this price is definitely an attractive option. Speaking of which, Hisense is the official sponsor of the World Cup, which should mean absolutely nothing to you, and isn’t the reason why you should by this TV. The reason why you should buy it is that it’s “la bella televisione, HDTV-compatible, beautiful,” and available at half the price. Hisense 65" U7 Mini-LED 4K Smart Fire TV - $799.99 | 47% off on Amazon Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Re: Capitalism. It's just 1 of dozens of economic models currently-adopted worldwide; most national models separate money from politics thereby limiting the influence wealth carries over the economy (due to limited tentacles wealth politics has over the broader economy). The "American model" of unfettered financial influence should NOT be the variant of pure capitalism adopted worldwide. More regulations formulated within this variant is effectively useless due to the misalignment between regulatory objectives and fundamental influence wealth politics carry over the market. Re: enough money. Without constraining the breadth/depth/scope/scale that any measure of money/wealth can have within a market, there will always inherently be those who have "enough money" and those who do not. Those without "enough money" will always lose -- regardless if a bedroom DJ, indie developer, or million-dollar corporation going against a billion-dollar mega-corporation. The evil is the absence of guardrails against the influence of wealth; not the mere existence of wealth. Re: dragged through the courts. The liberalist nature of litigation does not exclude anyone, anywhere, for any reason for getting dragged through the courts. Rather than formalize remediation pathways for various perceived ills, everything is left up to flawed interpretations... and this is where a litigation-averse community fails to thrive (thus a losing proposition when dragged to courts). Everyone should have more protections and clear remediation strategies! Going to an alternate remediation arbitration is OK so long as the case review and remediation processes are clear and transparent. For corporations, hit them where it hurts: automatic financial penalties. (PS: This is where corporate risk management strategies would do well to behave more ethically.) Overall, failure to truly shake-up the incentive core and regulatory extremities of the economic market will necessarily mean that all other actions are simply applying lipstick on a pig. Change begins from the inside. Is the root cause of the problem that a majority of consumers within a market goes for Option Brand-name versus Option Indie? Or that brand-name is spending foreign money to control domestic markets? Or that money is the objective measure for success across all walks of life? Or that deep pockets dictate the moral and ethical rights/wrongs of entire societies? Regardless of the answer (and there's nothing inherently wrong with being a socialist or communist or whatever label your surroundings deem 'cool' or 'uncool') there's a common thread: If a market truly wants to nurture domestic innovation, then performative finger-wagging will do nothing to that end.
