'Official' Crysis Requirements

i hope my 6600 can play crysis on atleast low settings man i really need a new notebook

 

There are no big differences between dx9 and dx10. All dx10 really offers are better particle effects and light effects. Everything else is almost completely dependent on the game engine. Dx10 gives you a better sky, with realistic clouds, better water imitation, much better scenery lighting, and cool skewed light beams.

 

Haha, I like this "no big differences between dx9 and dx10...Dx10 gives you a better sky, with realistic clouds, better water imitation, much better scenery lighting, and cool skewed light beams."

I hear where you are coming from though and agree with you. I'm sure the dx9 is right there with dx10 just a bit lower.

 

Well i've seen an interview where a guy of crysis told that most video's where only directx9 I can't find that video right now, but it was an interview of gamespot.

ah here it is: http://www.gamespot.com/video/931665/6175037/crysis-stage-demo

 

the idea, though, was to incorporate those added affects without a performance penalty.

so far, not good.

i am waiting until crysis for a final verdict though.

 

The game seems to run well in the 8700gt so this is good news
(although I'll play the newer games on my 7600 for some years )

I was checking out the Crysis & COD4 sites...
One of the things that made my jaw drop was that in COD4, there's a screenie of a spec. ops looking guy in a rainstorm in front of some shipping containers. Soft shadows & transparent AA THROUGH the chain link fence, simultaneous with rain collision detection on the character model & HDR. Or the way that searchlights have a nice shimmer in the rain with HDR.

Personally, from what I've seen, COD4 has slightly better visuals.

Though I'm still gonna buy both!

 

I'm pleasantly surprised with those specs. I should be able to play it very well on my notebook.

 

all along i have been telling people that crysis is most likely going to run better than you think; people were saying like 8800gtx minimum. idiots.

long development time + good developer = good graphics + low hardware requirements

 

Let's see how it will on an X1600, thats what I want to know.

 

I can't remember if I asked this before but does 4GB of RAM help gameplay much more than 2GB??

 

in vista it can depending on the game. you can easily fill up 2 gigs of ram just running the operating system with a game on top of it... your only choice is to add more ram or use the hard drive as a buffer (or use a flash disk as a buffer aka. readyboost)...

the ram is the only good choice.

in xp, 2 gigs of ram should be just fine.

 

My Asus G1S should play it extremely well!

 

Yeah, just look at Epic & UT2k4. Everyone was flipping a crap about how it was gonna perform, and it turned out to have amazing coding that let it play on everything. I imagine UT3 and Crysis and COD4 to be similar in that quality. Or at least, we can all hope so...

 

how will p4 3.0ghz ht, with 2gb ram, and ati X1650 pro 512 agp

 

i dont think call of duty 4 will have a similar level of scalability compared to ut2007 and crysis.

look at the history.

CoD 2 is sort of a system hog. CoD 4 is made by the same folks...

ut 2k7 has a ut roots. their games have always been scalable and really awesome.

crysis has far cry before it. amazing scalable game. similar story.

 

Aren't the CoD-series poorly ported Console games?

 

why wasn't there cod3 for pc?

 

I don't remember where the interview was (IGN or GameSpot?), but Crysis's producer was claiming it will run well on 4 year old hardware and look as good as games that were released 4 years ago on that system (or something along those lines).

And in a recent interview with PC Gamer, Mark Rein was bragging about how good Gears of War will look on every computer. Epic's known for amazing optimization, so don't be too worried about their games running on your computer if it's even decent for gaming.

 

Actually, Call of Duty 3 only came out on consoles.....

 

Call of Duty 4 right around the corner. When is the Crysis demo coming out?

 

I only read page one. Too tired to read anything more. I don't get why everyone is ZOMFGTYWTFBBQing over Crysis. Jazz Jackrabbit 2, in my opinion, is the greatest game of all time. Nothing can beat it. Special moves, awesome enemies, choose your character, the whole shebang!


EDIT: CoD4 will probably be above CoD2 and juuuust below JJ2.

 

lol, I swear I don't want to see this thread pop up until the official Crysis requirements are released!

 

There's a funny little story behind CoD. COD1 was made by Activision. (I think. Either way, let's call the company that made it Activision.) They they struck some sort of deal with another company, and they did CoD3. They were ****heads so they only released on consoles. Now Activision does CoD4, which was first made for PC, then ported to consoles. And CoD2 is by no means a poor port (if a port at all). It is an amazing game. Can't say the same for CoD3, as it is only for consoles because of that ****ty company. The game was pretty weak too. Dunno about CoD1; haven't played it.

 

Crysis...good game.

 

Jazz Jackrabbit...better game.

On your other post: Crysis is due out in October or November or some cold and dark month of the year (and my favorite months of the year; I love how it gets dark really fast and you can see your breath outside and I love playing with my puppy in the cold wet grass: it's very refreshing). A Crysis demo should come out around its release date. I don't see why they would make a demo several months earlier. Is CoD4 doing that?

 

Maybe there will be no demo months earlier but they did say in several weeks there would be one. Jazz Jackrabbit?? I looked it up, its like sonic the hedgehog...only worse.

 

WHAT!? GET OUT OF MY SIGHT!

Jazz Jackrabbit 2 is one of the best games ever made for any system: PC, Amiga, Arcade, you name it. Even better than Mario. The only game that might possibly come close is The Elder Scrolls: Daggerfall. Or was it Arena...?

Damn you kids with your new games. They have no gameplay. Last night I installed JJ2, planning to play five minutes through the intro to pass some time until I would get tired and fall asleep (most games are so ****ty that they close my eyes within seconds). I stayed up for over three hours. (By the way, always be Spaz. Jazz is just crappy. He doesn't freak out. Spaz freaks out every 5 seconds or so. He's awesome.)

Oh, and graphics don't have **** on gameplay. Don't play a game because it looks nice. I hate those people. "OMG NO I'm not playing American McGee's Alice because it has worse graphics than Oblivion. Even though I realize that Oblivion's gameplay is piss poor, I choose to not look beyond graphics and look into how well a game is played. I enjoy having repetitive actions with mindless button-pushing."

 

Jazz Jackrabbit 2 is AAAAAAWESOME. I loved it as a kid. And when I meant poor port, I meant poorly optimized port. I also don't think Crysis is gonna be much more than a pretty shooter. Don't really like shooters. But i did like Oblivions gameplay.

 

I don´t have the intention to make this thread into some sort of rant, but i feel the need to reply

Have you even considered using different attacks on an enemy, or even did something basic like changing the difficulty? Oblivion is an amazing game that shouldn´t be kicked in the ground like that.

And what makes CoD 2 an amazing game? The only good thing about that game were it´s graphics. The weapons were the same as the previous versions, but they left some weapons out and the weapons they did put into the game did not have the updated textures from UO. The AI was stupid as **** and the maps were so simple that they reminded me from MoH: U, a game from 2000. The sentences were just plain annoying and repetitive and you could shoot your way through the game in a day.

It´s basically one of the worst FPS games i´ve ever played (after CoD 1).

 

The same goes for me with the first paragraph you posted.

I chose Oblivion in lieu of another game. I really can't think of any game. Uhh... how about... Area 51? (And if you've ever played The Elder Scrolls I or II, you'll realize how poor Oblivion really is. And how small the map is.)

What makes CoD2 an amazing game is its multiplayer mode. Holy ****, it's fun. The single player, yeah, it's not that great. But multiplayer is better than BF2 multiplayer (*that* has to be the worst game I've ever played; run 'n' gun, run 'n' gun). CoD2 requires just a tad of tactics, but not so much that you're playing America's Army x 10. You can't go blasting your way in with an MG trying to kill a sniper in a bunker. Gotta flank with a sniper, and even then you're likely to be caught, so you need a little team with you. 'Least, that's how I play. But yeah, about Oblivion, I was just using it as an example of how some people talk. "OMG Area 51 gfx > Alice gfx, it are bettar game!

JJ2 uber alles.


EDIT: Different attacks on an enemy don't make different gameplay. Different gameplay is something like being an archer, and having archer-specific quests, like in NWN. In that game, there were certain quests and places you could unlock only by being a specific class, i.e. Druid and you would go to a Druid fighting ring or something and gain access ONLY if you won. Likewise with the alcohol drinking. You could only win if you were a Dwarf, thereby only gaining access to some special place only by being a Dwarf. Etc, etc.

EDIT2: Fabarati, I agree with you on both comments. I also think Crysis will only be a fancy shooter. The different "forms" have been done many times before. Metal Gear Solid, Halo, Sci Ops (something along those lines), and some others. Nothing new there. Graphics on par with any other new game. Gameplay... run 'n' gun. Nothing special. Maybe use cloak from far away, strength up close, speed when running. Meh.

The only game in the DX10 age I want is CoD4, and Spore if that comes out in the DX10 era and not DX11. CoD4 looks great. 14 gun points on the head. Plethora of weapons. Customizable weapons in multiplayer. Power-ups in MP. All while still requiring some strategy (I hope).

 

COD2 multiplayer is the most fun game around. Kicks the crap out of Counterstrike in any form, F.E.A.R., BF2, etc.

 

I'm looking forward to Fallout 3 (dx9, oblivion enginge) and Assasin's Creed (likely DX9).

 

Hmm, speaking of other MP games, what's Far Cry multiplayer like? Any good? (And yeah, CoD2 multi>all modern multi games. JJ2>all.)

I thought Assassin's Creed would be DX10? And why use Oblivion's engine on a top-down RPG...? That just seems silly.

 

Activision is the publisher of the CoD franchise and Infinity Ward developed 1 (UO was made by Gray Matter Interactive), 2 and are working on 4. The company that made CoD3 was Treyarch, which Gray Matter Interactive had merged into during 2005. Why they suck now is beyond me. And, let's not even talk about any of the other console games because they're terrible...

I think many CoD1/UO players will agree that it is the best in the franchise. CoD2 is a good game but you can't compare the two. Also, the health system of CoD2 is epic fail in MP.

Hopefully CoD4 will bring the franchise back to its roots with superb gameplay.

 

Ah, that's why you play on modded maps in CoD2. Then you can actually see your healthbar, and it's not that you just sit out for ten seconds until you revive.

 

WHA?! I remember when I was eight spending hours and hours just trying to beat one of those ice or diamond levels. I never got bored of playing Jazz the Jackrabbit. Ah the good old days. Carrots anyone?

 

With oblvion engine, i mean graphics engine, called Gamebryo. It'll look good. But be more optimized. I couldn't find any info on Assasin's Creed being DX10. I looked (just not that hard).

 

Has enyone of you seen the crysis DX9 vs dx10 Hunter trailer?
There is no significant difference betveen dx9 & dx10, the Hunter in dx9 looks closely the same as in dx10.

I think that Crysis won't be a so demanding game, my desktop Athlon 3200+
with 768MB of ram and a Radeon 9600Pro will run it just fine
(800x600 high, 1024x768 medium), just like it does Stalker.

I've seen about 9 of the Crysis trailers, 5 of them in HD quality. Pure Eye-Candy.

I'm avaiting Crysis 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10...
Crysis will be a good $ & € bringer, and we all know E.A. ...

 

how the hell can you run even Stalker fine? on my 8600GT if I switch to dynamic lighting it lags like crazy.

 

I've played COD2 multiplayer, and I think that both BF2 and counterstrike(1.6 and source) are much much better.

 

I suppose it's all personal opinion. Though, I think COD2M is more fun in all rifles. You might try that.

 

any idea when it will come out...or IF it will come out????

 

Game isn't due out until fall...IF they release a demo, my guess it that it'll be a month or so in advance, though they might release it at the same time as the retail copy.

 

I got the Crysis demo, 1.5gigs.

It runs like a slideshow with my 7800GTX on native WUXGA and mid/high settings.

I got it playable with mid (some low settings, and less shadow and particles).

 

Honestly, Crysis isn't that great of a game. Ooo! A pretty shooter! Been there, done that. Don't expect anything groundbreaking.

 

Agreed.

The funfactor is what matters.

And it's hard to have fun if you have to play it on low settings to get like 10fps.

Sometimes you wish that developers would think of fun-factor over everything.

Ah.. But such perfect worlds..

 

Might be fun might not we won't know for sure till it comes out but I'm still looking forward to it.

 

lol... You got the Crysis demo? from where?
Did you mean it's playable with mid settings on WUXGA? or is it on a lower resolution?
According to gamespot the game is coming out in early November... (providing they don't delay it..)

"Now, PC gamers can add one more title to their overflowing Christmas, Hanukkah, and Kwanzaa shopping lists. During today's post-earnings report conference call, Electronic Arts CFO Warren Jenson narrowed the ship window for Crysis, the eagerly anticipated shooter from German developer Crytek. "We are now planning to launch Crysis in early November," he told analysts. Previously, the game only had a tentative 2007 release date.

Crysis is Crytek's first title since its groundbreaking 2004 game Far Cry. Ever since it was first unveiled at the 2006 Game Developers Conference, the game has caused mass salivation among shooter enthusiasts because of its high-intensity graphics. Most recently, it was named Best PC Game of E3 at the 2007 Game Critics Awards. To find out more about the game, check out GameSpot's ample previous coverage. "

 

omg,I wonder how badly Crysis is going to belt my 8600 GT left and right...

Going by what Gophn says,looks like even everything Low may not be playable for me
