Was Crysis Overhype?

No, it wasn't overhyped at all. I barely saw anything about Crysis during the months before release, barely anyone was talking about it, there were no TV adverts...etc

What hype? There was barely any.
 
My comment was more directed at the other dude. It doesnt take an Einstein to work out that if your stronger you'd be able to hold a rifle steadier, therefore improving accuracy.....or you could just go prone! Either way, I dont see what the argument is.

Neither does it take an einstein to work out the point on your screen when you press the mouse is when the shot is fired, therefore any dynamics involved afterwards are NOTHING to do with "holding a rifle steady"
all adding a strength boost will do is make it easier as there is less swaying, that is the point
He was incinuating wrongly that a strength boost should improve the accuracy of the weapon itself which is drivvel
 
Please don't make me reinstall both games and take screenshots to shut you up.
You're completely, utterly, totally wrong. It's a fact that Crysis looks far better than Call Of Duty 4.

Dunno about UT3, unfortunately I've not tried it yet. :(

I do agree with you that quad-core is far from being used properly, mine's a paperweight most of the time but I wanted one and it was cheap. In certain games like Supreme Commander though you will see a benefit over dual-core, and Crysis does use all four of my cores but it's waiting on the GPU all the time.

For someone who has played CoD4 twice over and absolutely adores it, I am at a loss as to why you have uninstalled it. :p
 
I thought Crysis was great :D

The only bit that let it down was the floaty part in the alien mountain, it went on for ages and was pretty dull although it was needed for the storyline.

Shoot me down if I'm really off course as I'm not a game nerd but weren't many of the things said before the release relating to the game engine rather than crysis itself?
 
If it were possible to quantify graphics quality, Crysis would score higher. If you multiplied that by the average fps, COD4 would win hands down.
 
I think I just realised what you're on about. If you're talking about the screenshots of the hut vs the real life hut, then the game does look like that, because those screenshots were taken in game. I know it looks like that for me.

Also...



To run Crysis on High you'll need a GTS/GTX and maybe a X1950/XT/XTX. I know it was running on medium/high @ 1680 on my XT before I sold it. And it runs above high on my GTX. So I don't see where Cervat has lied at all.

Just for the record as well, I don't think its a perfect game. But to say it's boring/dull/average is just stupid. If you didn't enjoy it that's your personal opinion, but that doesn't make it a bad game.


Ther is no HUT in any Screen I am talking about.
 
What about UT3?, this is hardly GPU limited, it runs great!, but performance really doesn't change much at all by going quad. Quad is the future, but it's a long time coming, 08 will be the year and this is when I'll invest.

UT3 is definatly GPU limited, a lot more than CoD 4 anyhow, it runs very poor if you don't have card for more than 60 quid.


Just played crysis on a game show maxed @ 1920x12xx ( or whatever ) on some dual 8800ultra machine and I must admit I liked it very much, I'm not playing crysis yet on my pc because I dont want to play at 800x600 at low lol ( thats what I had to play the beta @).

Hey helmutcheese, that's a nice computer you've got there

Must absolutely dominate Crysis, right?

I think you'll need another two cores to get the best out of it though...at least according to the Crytek CEO.

You should read-up on his interviews sometimes...interesting stuff.

Must dash...your mama is begging for another recorder lesson!!

There's no need for posts like that. And I'm sure he's aware how to get the best of his computer if he can afford to buy a 8800 Ultra.
 
I don't think it was overhyped since it achieved what the hype was about, which was amazing graphics. It was the graphics not the gameplay that was hyped
 
great game, nice easy to master control system, looks pretty, runs fine until alien ship/arctic and is one of the better FPS over the last couple of years, just accept it!

and before you go complaining it was late, we know it was late, we know its buggy and doesn't utilise all cores enough, but can you name a game thats 100% perfect on release, cause i certainly can't. stop nitpicking and it you don't like crysis, simple don't play or talk about it! if you like it then enjoy it and eagerly await part 2 :)
 
I think Crysis was hyped just like every big games release is...still enjoyable though...I wasn't expecting the earth

I'm looking forward to giving it another go when the hardware is available to really do it justice.


What If my mother is dead, I aint 18 years old you know.

Hmm...let's look at the evidence here

Forum name = helmutcheese
Location = In your mama


Conclusions:
1. I would imagine that you are well under 18
2. I doubt anyone who has lost a parent would be as insensitive or ignorant as your stated location suggests you are

Think you got it in one mate :)
 
There is plenty of sigs with jokes in them inc one about "mothers and sisters", I dont see the owners slagging others family members directly, my Nick+Sig has been passed by staff so get over it.

You opinions means nothing to me.

You completely missed his point. How old are you btw?

Also plenty of sigs/names/locations?, I've only seen yours and it fails in all honesty
