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.

    • Xbox Insiders get Xbox 360 achievements and Gamertag character upgrades by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft is continuing its fast-paced update schedule for Xbox Insiders. Today, the company announced a new slate of features it is rolling out to Xbox Insiders in the Alpha Skip-Ahead ring, which includes an expansion to the gamertag system, Xbox 360 achievements, and more. The unique Gamertag that Xbox users can choose for their profile is getting more characters. Instead of the 12-character limit, Insiders will now be able to get a Gamertag that's 15 characters long. The 12-character limit will still apply to Gamertags that are not unique or contain any non-Latin characters. Meanwhile, Microsoft is adding Xbox 360 game support to its Game Hubs. Selecting an installed Xbox 360 game on a modern Xbox console will now show achievement progress, captures, and other information. Achievement pop-ups are back for these classics too, which should be good news for achievement hunters. The next change is for Xbox players who can't wait to jump into their games when an update is required. "If a game requires an update and is available to stream through your Game Pass membership, you can start playing immediately with cloud gaming while the update downloads in the background," explains Microsoft. The final change of this Insider update is once again to the game cards. Insiders will find that all games, both released and upcoming, will now have a simple button to add to their profile's wishlist, making the process much easier from a single place. This Xbox update is rolling out today to Insiders in the Alpha Skip-Ahead ring. As usual, Microsoft aims to bring it to more Insiders over time before they reach all Xbox owners. Head here to find out how to join the Xbox Insider Program to get a chance to test these features and upcoming ones on both consoles and PC.
