    i'm starting to think they released it unfinished for a reason, it has gotten so good graphically im thinking its nearing rdr2 level...everytime I play it it gets better..but like I already posted I hope they start making crysis 4 and work on making it more photo realistic vs cartoony colors..And when they do crysis 4 I hope the input lag is gone as its a kill joy and the game isnt fun struggling to aim...crysis 1=fun crysis wh =fun crysis 2=less fun crysis three=work and hardly what I call fun..the reason is mainly input lag they are all great games and its the only series I have beaten more than once...infact the only other series I was interested in playing and actually completing was mass effect series and GTA although technically I just played alot of GTA I guess I never really beat them except for IV

    I have not noticed any input lag with any Crysis title so far. I wonder if that is due to differences in specs or something else. I'd love to see a Crysis 4.

    I call it input lag but it's just mouse smoothing found in other games like far cry 4...I find it highly annoying and it makes aiming difficult...Crysis warhead was the most responsive and ironically the funnest at least for me

    I always hated when the game segued into the alien section, didn't like the same in 2 either. I do see it's on sale for 15 smackers over on Epic and I really did enjoy it until the aliens showed up...

    Hopefully not killing anyone you love, LOL.

    Unacceptable behavior and evil deeds, not nation of origin, is how we identify our enemies. South Korea is an ally. North Korea is an enemy, even to South Korea. Evil deserves no refuge or mercy.

    I played it a few times subsequently and simply quit when I got to that part, with the quitting being part of the plan. I never finished the game and to this day don't know how it ends, or in truth, don't know much about what happens after the aliens pop in. If you prefer, I greatly disliked the alien part.

    ultra settings
    high shadows
    high objects
    no raytracing
    average 30 fps
    1percent low of 24
    on a dang 1650.....you really dont need much if your a 30-60fps gamer but i suppose 144hz would be a pretty sweet experience
    [​IMG]

    does someone with a 144hz display and rtx laptop wanna check the game out and see if they can cap it at 144hz...im thinking of buying a 3060...just need to know if thats enough


    i found this




    it looks like ill need a 3070 for 144hz gaming

    It's definitely true this architecture is far exceeding perf pet watt of any of the x86 solutions right now, I'm skeptical on the GPU side. I'd love to be surprised though, would be good for everyone.

    Another component to reducing power draw is making software more efficient. There is a lot that can be done to improve power efficiency on the software side (that is, optimizations). If Apple is improving their entire software stack while also developing more power efficient hardware, then these claims start seeming plausible.

    Crysis 2 and 3 Remastered were already confirmed, 4 is just speculation.

    I would think they would definitely be working on Crysis 4. I bet Crysis remaster was a way to get some RT knowledge under their belt in a production product and get feedback from users under different configurations so they could take that and apply it in Crysis 4.

    With the popularity of single player FPS games right now the iron is hot, strike it.

    I'm just trying to keep the hope alive....honestly imagine crysis 4 the same way crysis 1 was at the time..it would look 100 percent real life..I know they can do it....they need to step away from the normal once again and I have faith they will I don't care and neither do 11 million other gamers if it will only run maxed in 10 years so long as it looks cutting edge...

    lol my run on sentences

    Run-on sentences, also known as fused sentences, occur when two complete sentences are squashed together without using a coordinating conjunction or proper punctuation, such as a period or a semicolon.


    poor grammar is elite speak

    the water used to look brilliant blue now its a cool silver...looks nice but i noticed the reflections under the water are super low resolution? what the heck is crytek thinking..just make it look really good as close to photorealism as possible and call it a day and skip crysis 2 and give us a crysis 3 remaster....count your losses crytek.

    without raytracing
    [​IMG]

    with raytracing....pretty big difference in the look

    [​IMG]


    setting used and settings everyone should be using but then again if you have the power whynot enable raytracing

    [​IMG]

    no reason to run shadows higher than low


    I have more pictures but for some reason crytek is using ultra high resolution pictures for some of the textures and vegetation and low resolution ones also mixing it up to make it look average...@hfm how hard is it to take a picture and map it as a texture, is crytek lazy or is it a big process

    If it wasn't difficult everyone would be doing it. :)

    I'm not sure, I see perhaps the reflection is darker, I'd probably have to see it in action to try to understand what's going on there and I don't own the remaster. I don't work on game engines, probably would need someone from Crytek to weigh in.

    @hfm I know right!!

    But don't modders make 8k texture packs for like every game, you would think if some moron in his moms basement can do it a multi billion dollar empire could do it better, that doesn't seem to be the case..

    Crytek chime in create an account and add too this discussion as I think together we can make the best crysis possible

    If you're referencing what the reflection of the mountain range onto the water looks like, if it's RT reflections it's happening real-time using rays it's not just a texture slapped onto the water. The fact that it's intense computationally means the ray count is most likely not every single possible path, so it's denoised which will give it some "blur" for lack of a better word I suppose. I have no clue how it's implemented here, but one thing that's a benefit is if it's true RT not screen space reflections, if you pull your camera down so you can no longer see the mountains themselves you should still see the reflections for them. Obviously they might be able to hack it in this scene so that something that large and jarring doesn't disappear from the water reflection without RT, usually those things do happen with other elements though without RT, since screen space reflections only deal with what's in the current scene, usually why you see things missing from reflections that you know are there but are not in the scene, then they pop back into the reflection when they do appear. Again I have zero clue how Crytek is doing any of it, that's typically how it works though.
